Privacy Policy The Fawcett Society takes security of your personal data extremely seriously. This document will describe what we do with any personal data you provide to us, what your rights are in relation to them and how you can exercise those rights. You can contact us by visiting our Contact Us page.  UK GDPR sets a high standard for consent, which must be unambiguous and involve a clear affirmative action (an opt-in)    Consent must be freely given.  Consent must be obvious and require a positive action to opt in  Consent must specifically cover the controller’s name, the purposes of the processing and the types of processing activity.  Consent must be explicit and expressly confirmed in words, rather than by any other positive action.  There is no set time limit for consent. How long it lasts will depend on the context. You should review and refresh consent as appropriate.  The UK GDPR also gives a specific right to withdraw consent.   More information about consent can be found on the Information Commissioner’s Office website here  2. When we process your data We process your data in the following situations:  if you use our website or contact us by phone or email  if you sign up to our newsletter  if you make at least one donation to us  if you become a member of our organisation or gift a membership  if you take part in one of our research projects  if you sign up to attend one of our events  if you hold a sponsored event with us  if you purchase items from our shop  if you campaign with us  if you sign up to our affiliate programmes  if you join one of our grass-roots pilot projects  if you apply for employment with us  If you volunteer or apply for other voluntary roles with us  If you complete a survey.    We take extra care of personal data when we know that you are under 18.  The section on vi
