What information do we collect about you
You can visit our website without disclosing any personal information about yourself. There are times, however, when we may request information from you. We collect information you give to us by email, various forms on the website, over the telephone, face to face or by postal mail.
We collect information about you when you join, make a donation, become a supporter, place an order for our products, complete an online action, sign a petition, provide us with data about your campaigning interests or interact with our social media tools. Website usage information may be collected using cookies.
How will we use the information about you?
We will send you campaigning information by email or SMS that we think may be of interest to you. We will continue to send you information by post where we have assessed there is a legitimate interest for us to do so.
LAW shares data with regional, area and local LAW groups, but only in order to fulfil the aims of LAW. This enables groups to publicise LAW events and information. All LAW groups follow data protection guidelines. If you would prefer to be excluded from the sharing of information with other LAW groups, please contact us so we can ensure your details are not shared.

If you would like a copy of some or all of the personal information we hold about you, please email info@labouragainstthewitchhunt.org or write to us at Labour Against the Witchhunt, BCM Box 1488, London WC1N 3XX. We may make a reasonable charge for this service. (eg, for repeated requests).
We want to make sure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. You may ask us to correct or remove information you think is inaccurate. We will retain some basic information to avoid sending you unwanted materials in the future and to ensure we do not duplicate information. This is superseded by your right to erasure (“the right to be forgotten”). Following this request all of your data will be removed from all LAW systems and any financial agreements, such a Direct Debit, will be ended.
