What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service Privacy Policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Members

If you join us as members or registered supporters, we will save the following pieces of information:

• The name you give us (b)
• Any contact details you provide us with (b)
• Whether you self-identify as neurodivergent (a) (b)
• Labour Party membership (a) (b)
• Some bank account details of paying members (c)

This information is either: (a) necessary for our organisation to fulfil its philosophical aims as a political organisation, (b) necessary for us to provide you with relevant services as members or registered supporters of Neurodivergent Labour, such as invitations to meetings or notifications about our campaigning work; or (c) necessary to fulfil our financial transparency obligations as a UK registered company.

It is stored in different password-protected secure clouds and only made available to members of our Executive with direct responsibilities that require the use of that information. For example, only the Treasurer and their deputies will see any financial information.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

We never sell your personal data or pass it on to third parties except in the terms described here.

We only share your personal data with third party services necessary to delivering what members expect from a membership organisation:

• cloud storage providers so that membership details can be stored and used efficiently;
• services including Mailchimp to help deliver mass emails to our membership;
• services including WordPress which help us to create our website and keep it secure.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you are a member, registered supporter, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

What data breach procedures we have in place

In the event that we become aware of a data breach, we will fulfil our obligations under the GDPR and report it immediately to the Information Commissioner’s Office, following their guidance on the necessary measures to secure any personal data.
