Data Protection Statement for the Equal Power Project

The Equal Power project is a collaborative project by Centenary Action Group, Citizen UK, 50:50 Parliament, Glitch, Muslim Women's Network UK, The Parliament Project, and The Fawcett Society. The project involves the organisation of a mailing list, training, events and a research component.

The mailing list and research component are run by the Fawcett Society. The mailing list is used to inform interested people about upcoming events and other information about the project itself. The research component is about measuring the effectiveness of this project. The Fawcett Society is the data controller for the mailing list and for the research component.

No personal data collected as part of either of the above components will be given to any other organisation, though the Fawcett Society does use designated data processors to carry out data processing on its behalf.

1. For the mailing list, the Fawcett Society collects email addresses, names, info about if you identify as a women of colour and in which area you'd like to attend workshops and email analytics data through MailChimp. We will retain this personal data as part of our role in the project for 4 years/ until the end of the project.
