What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Why do we collect your Personal Data?
Build Back Fossil Free is working to build a better climate future. The participation of people like you is crucial to achieving our mission to battle climate change. We are stronger when we collaborate, and climate change can only be addressed if we work together. Bringing people together is critical to how we make a difference. Staying in touch with supporters and Website users at the right time, in the right way and with the right information is vital to our success and to the mobilization of our diverse team and its ability to make an impact.
To this end, we collect information about you, which helps us:
- communicate with you effectively and to mobilize our members (including showing you campaigns and other content that are most likely to matter to you);
- keep the network of supporters thriving and effective and to extend our reach;
- promote and fund our campaigns and petitions and maximize their impact;
- have our voice heard with the media;
- work together to put pressure on leaders and governments;
All of which serve our mission of bringing people together to combat climate change.
Wherever we collect Personal Data we make an effort to provide a link to this Privacy Policy. We do encourage you to voluntarily share Personal Data with us, because we can’t build the global grassroots climate movement that can hold our leaders accountable to science and justice without supporters like you.
