Jess Phillips Campaigns’ purpose and overall mission is to promote and support campaigns and candidates.
We take active steps to make sure that our supporters are aware of the ways in which they can help us achieve our overall purpose.

We may collect the following types of personal data: your name, email address, postal address, telephone or mobile number, bank account details to allow our payment processors to process donations, details about payments to and from you and other details of products and services you have purchased from us, and details of any political opinions that you express to us or volunteering you may wish to undertake.
Special Categories of Personal Data
We do not collect "special categories of personal data" about our supporters (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data), unless we have your express consent. Clear notices will be provided on application forms for such events so that it is clear what information we need and why we need it. By virtue of what we do, we collect details of your political opinions, either generically or specifically, which we are entitled to do as a not-for-profit body with a political aim, where that data is processed only in relation to supporters in connection with our purposes and not disclosed without your consent.
All special categories of personal data are stored on a secure database, to which only a limited number of relevant staff have access. It is deleted when no longer relevant, is (save as stated below) never shared with third parties, and, if at the date of your request, we still hold it, is available to you at any point should you wish to see it.
In order to promote the Jess Phillips Campaign, we may, where it is lawful to do so, share your data with other organisations and bodies that share the aims, values and principles of Jess Phillips, and which support the aims of the Jess Phillips Campaign.
