Privacy Policy
This site collects very little, and this page says exactly what and why. If anything here is unclear, write to us and ask — we would rather explain it than have you guess.
Effective TODO — set before launch
The short version
This website sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and embeds no tracking pixels. Fonts are served from this site rather than from Google, so simply reading these pages sends nothing to anyone else. The only information we receive is what you deliberately type into one of our two forms.
What we collect
We have two forms, and they are the only way this site gathers information about you.
If you ask for help
The intake form asks for your first name and one way to reach you. Everything else — last name, age, where you are staying, what you need, and anything you write in the notes — is optional, and you can skip it. We ask because it helps us turn up prepared, not because we need a file on you.
Some of this is sensitive: where you sleep, your health, your situation at home. We treat it that way. It goes to our team, not to a public page, and not to a donor newsletter.
If you offer help
The get-involved form asks how you would like to help, your name, your email, and what you had in mind. An organisation name and phone number are optional.
What we do with it
We use it to reply to you and to arrange whatever you asked about. That is the whole purpose. We do not sell it, rent it, or trade it, and we do not add you to a mailing list because you filled in a form.
When you submit a form, it is sent to a third-party service that delivers it to our team's inbox and case notes.
To confirmName the service that receives the form webhooks, the company behind it, and the country its servers are in. If participant intake and volunteer enquiries go to different places, say so — people are entitled to know who handles the sensitive one.
Who else sees it
Helping someone often means introducing them to somebody else — a landlord, a clinic, an employer, a housing partner. We will not pass your information to any of them without asking you first. If you would rather we did not contact a particular person or organisation, tell us and we will not.
We will disclose information without asking only where the law requires it, or where someone is in immediate danger.
To confirmIf participant information is routinely shared with named partners — a university office, a housing provider, a counselling service — list them here. Naming them is better than a vague “our partners.”
Donations
We do not process payments on this site and we never see your card number. Giving buttons hand you to Zeffy, which takes the payment and issues your receipt under its own privacy policy. What you enter on Zeffy's pages is governed by Zeffy, not by us. We receive the donor and gift details Zeffy passes on so we can thank you and keep our books straight.
How long we keep it
Participant records are kept for as long as we are walking alongside someone, and for a period afterwards so that a person who comes back to us does not have to start from nothing.
To confirmState an actual retention period, e.g. “participant records for seven years after last contact, volunteer and employer enquiries for two years.” An unbounded “as long as necessary” is not a policy.
Your choices
You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Write to [email protected]. If you ask us to delete something, we will, unless we are required to keep it.
Children
Our programme is for adults aged 18 to 30, and this site is not directed at children. If you believe a child has sent us information through this site, tell us and we will remove it.
Links out
Links to Zeffy, Facebook, and other sites take you somewhere we do not control. Their policies apply once you land there.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top. Material changes to how we handle participant information will be explained, not slipped in.
