Common Good Global is committed to ensuring the privacy of everyone who visits our website.
When you provide us with your personal data, we make every effort to ensure the personal information you have provided is protected.
Please spend a little time reading through this to make sure you understand how we support your right to privacy. If anything is unclear, please get in touch with us and we will be happy to answer any questions you have.
Who are we?
We are Common Good Global, and when it comes to your data we are officially called the ‘Data Controller’. We operate in London, United Kingdom.
The person who oversees the data is called the Data Protection Officer, and this person is Shaharazad Abuel-Ealeh. You can contact her with any questions you have about your data: sherry@commongoodglobal.org.
We collect the following types of personal information:

We collect the data in the following ways:
Your personal data helps us to ensure your interaction with us is empowering and well-supported. Examples of how we use your information include:
Common Good Global needs a legal basis for using your personal data, under data protection laws which apply in different countries. We ask for your consent to use your data (for example, to allow us to send you responses and information).
Yes you can – and you can withdraw consent, unsubscribe from our mailing list, change your preferences for receiving our emails, change your personal details, or request to transfer your details whenever you like.
You can do this either by getting in touch with our Data Protection Officer or, if you just wish to unsubscribe from emails, clicking the link which is at the bottom of every message we send.
We will update your records as quickly as possible but it may take up to 30 days for our systems to update and stop messages being sent to you.
We do not share or sell any personal information to third-party organisations for marketing or fundraising purposes.
We only share your personal information with our data processors: these are the organisations which provide the software for us to safely and securely store and manage your data, and to communicate with you.
We share with the data processors so we can administer your relationship with us. The data processor cannot share or use your data for any other purpose, and we will always have contracts in place with any data processing company we work with.
Data is stored in the United Kingdom. This means your data is protected under the law of the United Kingdom and is compliant with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
We use technical and organisational tools and processes to protect your data and prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.
Unfortunately the transmission of data over the internet is not 100% secure. We do our best to protect your personal data, but we cannot guarantee the security of your data when it is transmitted to our website. However, once we receive your information, we use strict procedures and security features to prevent unauthorised access.
We keep your personal data for up to 5 years to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal or reporting requirements.
We decide how long is appropriate to keep personal data. We do this by considering the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data; the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data; the purposes for which we process your personal data, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means (such as anonymising the data we hold), and the legal requirements.
If you ask to receive no further contact from us, we will keep some basic information about you on our suppression list to avoid sending you more unwanted messages.
You can request your right to be forgotten, and your data will be deleted.
We use limited profiling and automated decision-making based on your interactions with us.
Firstly, we organise data based on which type of interaction you have with us:
These groups receive different types of communications from us.
If you choose to get involved with us, we will record this information and personalise content and communications to improve our support for your involvement.
