6. Third-Party Disclosures

‍

We will never sell any personal data we hold. We will only share your personal data where it is within your expectations for us to do so. We work in very close partnership with the Good Faith Partnership because they are the organisation that runs and maintains Faith in Labour.

‍

We do not automatically share your personal data with the Labour Party unless we have informed you at the point we captured your personal data from you. Where we are working on a joint project with the Labour Party, we may share a first name and email address with them so they can send you an email about the joint project or initiative. The Labour Party will not continue to hold a copy of your personal data unless you interact with the project or initiative being promoted and Faith in Labour will continue to be the data controller for the personal data.

‍

Your personal data may also be stored with specific third-party services for the minimum period necessary to perform activities with your personal information. Each third-party is subject to contractual and security reviews to ensure adequate and comparative levels of security, we’d expect for ourselves, is provided for the data they process on our behalf.

The types of third-party providers we use include:

• Mass email services
• Communications providers
• Survey platform services
• Client Relationship Management services
• Website services and platform providers
• IT and Data Protection services organisations
• If applicable, law enforcement or religious/faith based agencies

Where appropriate, we may share your personal information with our professional advisers including our lawyers and auditors, project partners, industry experts, peers (of a group you are involved in as a Sector Stakeholder), and local and central government departments where it is strictly necessary. It is also possible that we may be required to share your data to comply with applicable laws or with valid legal processes, such as in response to a court order.

‍

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded by implementing at least one of the following safeguards:

• Transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the UK (the UK also recognises the European Commission list of adequate countries. For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of Personal Data in non-EU countries)
• Specific contracts/agreements approved by the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK. For further details, see UK International Data Transfer Agreements. We will also assess in-country standards as part of this process.
