Privacy Policy for the Make Some Noise websites Make Some Noise is managed by Amnesty Human Rights Foundation Limited ("AHRFL") which runs this website. The website is provided for the benefit of the global Amnesty International movement which includes Sections and Structures in many countries throughout the world. If you have opted-in to ongoing e-mail communications, we may share your details with the affiliated national office in your home country for the purpose of communicating information to you by email about Amnesty International activities in your country. AHRFL is committed to ensuring the privacy of all our users. This policy governs all pages within the Make Some Noise website, including the pages through which you can buy downloads of music and mobile phone content. It does not apply to pages hosted by other organizations, including the websites of Amnesty International's International Secretariat and the Amnesty International national offices. We may be linked to their websites, but they may have different privacy policies. What types of information do we collect and store? The type and amount of information we receive and store depends on how you use the website. You can access most of our pages without telling us who you are and without revealing any personal information. Our web servers collect anonymous logs during user visits to the website. This information is used to create aggregate statistics, for example about when our website is accessed, the pages which refer visitors to our site, the type of web browsers visitors use and which pages are viewed. These statistics help us understand how our site is used and provide us with valuable information for improving our site in the future. We do not collect personally identifiable information (such as your name, address, phone number or e-mail address) on our site unless you choose to provide it, for example by buying a music download or some mobile content, registering to receive Make Some Noise email or SMS updates, participating in online advocacy actions managed through the site or using the "Tell A Friend" facility to tell a friend about Make Some Noise. These personal details are kept confidential and are stored securely only for as long as they are required for the purpose for which they were given. The information you provide will not be sold or rented nor will it be shared with third parties unless we have your permission, are required to disclose the information by law or under the following circumstances: 1. Participation in the Million Faces petition: This petition is administered jointly by Amnesty International, Oxfam GB, and IANSA. Your details and your photo will be used in various ways to support the delivery of the campaign -- you can read the complete Million Faces privacy polic at http://www.controlarms.org/privacy_en.htm. 2. Hosting and processing: The site is hosted by a third party service provider. We also use third parties to fulfil purchases of music downloads and mobile content and process associated payments. All these third party service providers will process your personal information only on AHRFL's behalf and are bound by strict confidentiality conditions. 3. Payment processing and fraud: Your card details may be disclosed to banks to arrange payments. In the case of a suspected fraudulent transaction, your details may be disclosed to the store/merchant for the sole purpose of performing further checks. The store/merchant is not permitted to retain these details. Your e-mail address and other personal information will be retained by AHRFL and its service providers in a secure environment, and will only be used to fulfil your purchases, send you Make Some Noise email or SMS updates, facilitate your participation in online advocacy actions and/or send your "Tell a Friend" email postcard, depending on the options you choose when you use the site. Personal information submitted to this site will be stored and processed on servers in the United States. The United States does not have data privacy laws as strong as those in force in the European Union and some other countries. Processing of your information by AHRFL and its service providers will however be regulated by UK data privacy law and protected by appropriate security measures.
