The Revolutionary Communist Group/Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism! (RCG/FRFI) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we use any personal information we collect about you.
What information do we collect about you?
In general you can visit our website without disclosing any personal information about yourself. There are times, however, when we may request information from you. We collect information you give to us by email, various forms on the website, or face to face on our stalls and events. To be added to an email list you need to give active consent by ticking a box for more information.
We collect information about you when you subscribe to our newspaper, make a purchase or donation, sign a petition, or submit a request for more information. Website usage information may be collected using cookies.
How will we use the information about you?
We will send you campaigning information, links to articles, or details of events by email.
We may disclose your data to our service providers who render services to us or you on our behalf such as sending emails and processing payments (all of which are contractually obliged to act only on our instructions and in accordance with applicable laws, including GDPR).
Where you have explicitly indicated your preference for us to do so (e.g. through a contact form, or options selected when purchasing a product or making a donation), we may share your contact information with local branches of the RCG for the specific purpose of informing you about local events and activities.
Security
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.
Access to your information and amending your information
If you would like a copy of some or all of the personal information we hold about you, please email us at [email protected] ;or write to us at FRFI, BCM Box 5909, London. WC1N 3XX. We may make a reasonable charge for this service. (eg, for repeated requests).
We want to make sure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. You may ask us to correct or remove information you think is inaccurate. We will retain some basic information to avoid sending you unwanted materials in the future and to ensure we do not duplicate information. This is superseded by your right to erasure (“the right to be forgotten”). Following this request all of your data will be removed from all RCG/FRFI systems and any financial agreements, such a Direct Debit, will be ended.
Cookies
Cookies are text files, used by your computer’s browser, that store visitor session data. Cookies, by themselves, do not identify the individual user. Cookies are commonly used on the Internet and do not harm your system. If you want to know more about cookies please go to www.allaboutcookies.org which explains how cookies work and how you can manage their use.
We currently use cookies to collate anonymous data which is used to plan enhancements to our services. Some cookies are externally managed e.g. Google Analytics and are covered by their own privacy policies.
RCG/FRFI never stores any personal information in cookies (on any computer that you may use) that can be used to identify you, such as your name or account numbers.

Transfer of your data internationally
The DPA and GDPR restrict the transfer of data outside of the EU and EEA. Some of the suppliers and systems that we use may be based in other countries which are outside of the EU and EEA. This may occur, for example, by using online services with servers based in other countries or which route data via such systems. We will ensure that information which you provide is only transferred to other countries (which do not have data protection laws equal to the DPA and GDPR) provided that the organisations involved have certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield (for organisations based in the USA) or similar stringent certification to ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your rights and your data.
