How we use your information

This privacy notice tells you what to expect when Thinking the Unthinkable Ltd. collects personal information.

Content Management System

We use a third party service called Perch to manage our website. Perch requires visitors that want to post a comment to enter a name and email address. Our website search and decision notice search is powered by Perch. No user-specific data is collected by either TtU or any third party. For more information about how Perch processes data, please see Perch privacy policy.

Visitors to our website

When someone visits www.thinkunthink.org we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. This information is only processed in a way which does not identify anyone. We do not make, and do not allow Google to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our website. If we do want to collect personally identifiable information through our website, we will be up front about this.

We will make it clear when we collect personal information and will explain what we intend to do with it. For more information, please see Google's Privacy Statement.

Data storage and security

Personal data collected by Thinking the Unthinkable is stored securely and we will take all reasonable precautions to prevent personal data from being lost, used or accessed, altered or disclosed in an unauthorised way.

We limit access to your personal data to members of staff, agents or third parties who have a business need to know. Your personal data will be used only on our instructions and subject to strict obligations of confidentiality. Without your explicit consent we will not sell, distribute or lease to a third party any of the personal data we collect unless we are obliged or permitted by law to do so.

In the unlikely event that we suffer a data breach, we will notify you and any applicable supervisory authority, when we are required to do so.

Personal contact details are stored in a CRM Database produced by Zoho. For more information on the privacy practices of the Zoho CRM system, please see Zoho's privacy policy for more information.
