Your Privacy

At Social Change UK, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of our visitors to our website. In particular, we want you to know that Social Change UK is not in the business of selling, renting or trading email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes. We just don’t do that sort of thing. But just in case you don’t believe us, in our Privacy Policy, available on request, we’ve provided lots of detailed information on when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, the limited conditions under which we may disclose it to others and how we keep it secure.

Collection and use of personal information

Personal information means any information that may be used to identify you, such as, your name, title, phone number, shoe size, email address, or mailing address. In general, you can browse our website without giving us any personal information. We use several products to analyse traffic to this website in order to understand our visitors’ needs and to continually improve our site for them. We collect only anonymous, aggregate statistics. For example, we do not tie a specific visit to a specific IP address. However, if you sign up to receive our news, we will ask you to provide us with your name and email address. If you use our project planner, we will ask you to provide us with some information in order to discuss your project with us. 

Use of Cookies

It does not contain chocolate chips, you cannot eat it and there is no special hidden jar. A cookie cannot give us access to your computer or to information beyond what you provide us. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies; consult your browser's manual or online help if you want information on restricting or disabling the browser's handling of cookies. If you disable cookies, you can still view the publicly available information on our website. If you are using a shared computer and you have cookies turned on, be sure to log off when you finish.

Pixel & Email Tracking 

tracking pixelconversion pixel, or retargeting pixel is a code snippet that is added to a website to collect data about website traffic, conversions, user behaviour, and other marketing metrics. They are usually placed within web pages, online ads, or emails. A tracking pixel is triggered when, for instance, a web page is loaded in the browser. 

Social Change uses data collected from tracking pixels to improve communications and marketing activities. Data gathered from pixel tracking is stored securely within our CRM system and is not shared with any third-party providers. 

We track all emails that we send that are external to our team. This can include emails with attachments, sometimes with financial information included. Where possible and appropriate we will password protect and encrypt what we need to send. We track these emails in order to monitor the amount of traffic they generate for our website. This tracking allows us to individually track whether recipients have opened the email and clicked on any links and, if so, which links. We use this information on a personal level to deliver targeted communications and on a wider level to analyse and enhance the open and click rates of our emails. Please be assured that your data will be stored securely on Social Change’s CRM system in accordance with UK Data Protection Legislation. Access to your information is restricted only to Social Change staff. 

Links to Other Websites

Our website contains links to information on other websites. Most links to external websites are found within the 'latest' section of our website such as links to sources we reference in our material and news websites. On websites we do not control, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information that you provide while visiting those sites. Those sites are not governed by our Privacy Policy, and if you have questions about how a site uses your information, you’ll need to check that site’s privacy statement.

Access to Your Personal Information

You are entitled to access the personal information that we hold on. Email your request to hello@social-change.co.uk. An administrative fee may be payable (please note, we accept cake).

Updating Your Personal Information and Unsubscribing

You can unsubscribe to general mailings at anytime of the day or night by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our emails or by emailing hello@social-change.co.uk

Your Consent

By using our website, you consent to the collection and use of the information you provide to us as outlined in our Privacy Policy. We may change our Privacy Policy from time to time and without notice, so make sure you check back occasionally. If we change our Privacy Policy, we will publish those changes on this page. If you have any questions or concerns about our collection, use or disclosure of your personal information, please drop us a line at hello@social-change.co.uk
