The following is some key areas we collect data, but it may not be limited to this. We will endeavour to keep this updated as the best we can as and when things change.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, fonts etc.). Some key ones are listed below, but they may not be limited to these. You should be aware embedded content from other websites behave in the exact same way as if you as the visitor have visited the other website.

The privacy policies that apply to this content and thus how your data is handled will be in accordance to those of the provider that content is from.

Google Web Fonts

For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our plugin. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer. Further information about handling user data, can be found here and in Google’s privacy policy here.

YouTube

Our website may use plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

If you visit one of our pages featuring a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. Here the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you’re logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. YouTube is used to help make our website appealing. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

Further information about handling user data, can be found in the data protection declaration of YouTube here.

Vimeo

Our website may use features provided by the Vimeo video portal. This service is provided by Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

If you visit one of our pages featuring a Vimeo plugin, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established. Here the Vimeo server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. In addition, Vimeo will receive your IP address. This also applies if you are not logged in to Vimeo when you visit our plugin or do not have a Vimeo account. The information is transmitted to a Vimeo server in the US, where it is stored.

If you are logged in to your Vimeo account, Vimeo allows you to associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account. For more information on how to handle user data, please refer to the Vimeo Privacy Policy here.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Information Collected

The personal information collected or received about you broadly falls into the following categories:

(i) Information Mailchimp receive about you from Unlabour:

Unlabour may provide Personal Information about you to Mailchimp. When Unlabour uploads a Distribution List or integrates the Mailchimp’s Service with our website or when you subscribe on our signup form, we may provide Mailchimp with certain contact information or other personal information about you such as your name, email address, address, or telephone number.

(ii) Information Mailchimp collect automatically:

When you interact with an email campaign that you receive from Unlabour, Mailchimp may collect information about your device and interaction with an email. Mailchimp use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect some of this information. Their use of cookies and other tracking technologies is discussed more below and in more detail in their Cookie Statement available here.

• • Device information: Mailchimp collect information about the device and applications you use to access emails sent through their service, such as your IP address, your operating system, your browser ID, and other information about your system and connection.
  • Usage data: It is important for Mailchimp to ensure the security and reliability of the service they provide. Therefore, they may also collect usage data about your interactions with campaigns (and/or emails) sent through them by Unlabour, which may include dates and times you access campaigns (and/or emails) and your browsing activities (such as what pages are viewed and which emails are opened). This information also allows them to ensure compliance with Mailchimp’s Standard Terms of Use and Acceptable Use Policy, to monitor and prevent service abuse, and to ensure they attain certain usage standards and metrics in relation to their service. They also collect information regarding the performance of the service, including metrics related to the deliverability of emails and other electronic communications that Unlabour send through the service provided by them. This information allows Mailchimp to improve the content and operation of the service and facilitate research and perform analysis into the use and performance of the service provided by them.

(iii) Information Mailchimp collect from other sources:

Use of Personal Information

Mailchimp may use the personal information collected or received about you in reliance on their (and where applicable, Unlabour’s) legitimate interests for the following purposes:

• • To enforce compliance with their Standard Terms of Use and applicable law. This may include utilizing usage data and developing tools and algorithms that help them prevent violations.
  • To protect the rights and safety of Unlabour, third parties, or Mailchimp. For example, sometimes they review the content of our Unlabour’s email campaigns to make sure we comply with their Standard Terms of Use. To improve that process, they have software that helps them find email campaigns that may violate their Standard Terms of Use. Mailchimp, or a third-party service provider, may review those particular email campaigns, which may include your contact information. This reduces the amount of spam being sent through their servers and helps maintain high deliverability.
  • To meet legal requirements, including complying with court orders, valid discovery requests, valid subpoenas, and other appropriate legal mechanisms.
  • To provide information to representatives and advisors, including attorneys and accountants, to help us comply with legal, accounting, or security requirements.
  • To prosecute and defend a court, arbitration, or similar legal proceeding.
  • To respond to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
  • To provide, support and improve the service provided. For example, this may include sharing your information with third parties in order to provide and support the service or to make certain features of the service available to Unlabour. When Mailchimp share personal information with third parties, they will take steps to protect your information in a manner that is consistent with applicable privacy laws.
  • To perform data analytics projects. Mailchimp’s data analytics projects use data from Mailchimp accounts, including your Personal Information, to provide and improve the service provided. They use information, provided to them by Unlabour, so they can make more informed predictions, decisions, and products for you as subscribers. For example, they use data from Mailchimp accounts to enable product recommendation, audience segmentation, and predicted demographics features for Unlabour. If you prefer your data not to be used in this manner, you can opt out of data analytics projects at any time by completing this form or emailing them at personaldatarequests@mailchimp.com.

Mailchimp and their third-party partners may use various technologies to automatically collect and store certain device and usage information (as discussed above) when you interact with a Unlabour’s email campaign or connected store, and this may include using cookies and similar tracking technologies, such as pixels and web beacons or through SDKs via Mailchimp’s Apps that may be deployed on a mobile device used by Unlabour. For example, Mailchimp use web beacons in the emails sent out on our behalf. When you receive and engage with an email, web beacons track certain behaviour such as whether the email sent through the Mailchimp platform was delivered and opened and whether links within the email were clicked. Both web beacons and SDKs allow them to collect information such as your IP address, browser, email client type, and other similar data as further described above. This information is used to measure the performance of email campaigns, and to provide analytics information and enhance the effectiveness of the service provided to Unlabour, and for the other purposes described above.
