What personally identifiable information is collected from me?

The first time you get in touch with us- for example- when you sign up for email updates or WhatsApp groups and alerts, register for an event, we collect your personal information depending on the type of communication or transaction you opt for. The information generally includes your name, postal address, post code, telephone / mobile number, organisation name, e-mail address.  Please note, the personal details gathered by us may not be limited to above mentioned categories.

How is the information collected used?

We use the information as explained below unless you have specially notified us.

  • We may send you direct mail that we feel may be of interest to you.
  • We may on occasion work with 3rd parties to contact our supporters about us; however the 3rd party would be bound by a confidentiality agreement which would prevent them from using this information for any other purpose.
