Privacy

The manifesto is free to read without registering, and reading it leaves no record with us. We collect information only when you choose to give it, and we use it only for the purpose you gave it for.

If you endorse the declaration

We ask for your name and email address, and you may add a title, institution, country, website and a short reflection. Your email address is used to confirm that the endorsement is yours and to contact you about it. It is never displayed and never shared.

Your name and the details you chose to give are published among the signatories after you confirm your address and the endorsement has been reviewed. A reflection is published only if you gave permission for that separately, and only after review.

If you subscribe

We keep your email address, and your name if you gave it, to send occasional essays and announcements. Subscribing and endorsing are separate: neither is a condition of the other. Every message carries a link that unsubscribes you at once.

If you write to us

Responses, enquiries and requests sent through this site go privately to the editors. Nothing you send is published without your agreement.

Records of consent

When you tick a box, we record what you agreed to, in the words shown to you, and when. If you later withdraw, we record that as well.

Who handles the information

The information is held by the service providers that host this website, store its database and deliver its email, and it is used by them only to provide those services. We do not sell information, we do not use advertising, and we do not track you across other websites.

To limit misuse of the forms, we keep a short-lived, scrambled record of the network address a submission came from. It cannot be turned back into the address and is cleared regularly, normally within two days.

Correction and removal

You may ask at any time to see, correct or delete your information, or to withdraw your name. Use the correction and removal form. When you ask for removal we delete your details and the consent records that belong to them.
