To run effective campaigns, we collect certain information, including personal data from supporters.
We are committed to transparency and treating your information with care. This Privacy Policy outlines what we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have. You can contact us anytime with questions.
Our key principles:
- We only ask for information we genuinely need.
- We respect your choices about what you share and how we contact you.
- We take appropriate security measures to protect your data.
- We never sell your data.
- We only share data with service providers who help us run our systems.
- You may amend or withdraw consent at any time.
Collection of personal data
We collect personal and non-personal information when you visit our website or social media pages, sign up to our newsletters, participate in campaigns, register for events, or complete forms. This includes your contact details and your engagement with APAN (such as events attended or emails exchanged).
We only collect information relevant to our activities and campaigns.
APAN uses Do-gooder to facilitate online actions. When you participate in a Do-gooder campaign embedded on our site, the information you provide (such as your name, email, and address) is shared with us and may also be sent to the action’s intended recipient (for example, the Foreign Minister or your local representative). You can view do-gooder’s privacy policy here.
Collection of non-personal data
We gather data about how you use our website and emails—such as IP address, pages visited, actions taken, and device type. This helps us understand site performance and improve our content. This information is aggregated and cannot identify you. We do not track your browsing behaviour outside our site.
How is personal data used?
If you attend an APAN event or join our mailing list, we assume you want to hear from us. We may contact you about campaigns, events, or activities relevant to your interests or location.
All emails include an option to unsubscribe, and you can change your preferences at any time.
Sharing personal data
We do not sell or give your information to other organisations for their own use unless required by law or with your explicit permission.
We use trusted third-party services to process data, including:
- Eway for secure online payments. You can read their privacy policy here. APAN does not have access to your credit card details.
- Amazon AWS for email delivery. You can read Amazon’s privacy policy here.
Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect your data. All APAN information is stored on secure servers. However, no online transmission is completely secure, and you share information at your own risk.
Access to personal data is limited to staff and volunteers who need it.
Use of cookies
Our website uses cookies—including third-party cookies (e.g. Cloudflare and Google Analytics)—to improve site performance and analyse usage. These cookies collect non-personal, aggregated data. Please refer to the Cloudfare Cookie policy and Google Analytics for details on their cookies and policies.
We may also embed content or include share buttons from platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Vimeo, which may set their own cookies. You can disable cookies in your browser, though some features may not function fully.
Minors
We do not knowingly collect information from people under 18. Anyone under 18 should only provide information with parental or guardian permission.
External content
We show social networking sharing buttons and widgets from Facebook, Twitter and Vimeo on our websites to enable you to easily share APAN campaigns and news with friends. This embedded content behaves as if you visited that site directly. These third-party sites may collect data according to their own policies.
What rights you have over your data
You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you or ask us to delete it. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Changes
We update this policy from time to time. Please check this page for the latest version.
