In general terms, personal information is any information that can be used to personally identify you.
If you sign up for the Our Watch newsletter, donate to us or call or email us, we usually collect the following kinds of personal information:

Depending on how you choose to interact with us, we might also collect additional information such as:
- occupation
- age
- date of birth

- other personal information you choose to share with us in your interactions with us
We will collect personal information directly from you unless it is unreasonable or impracticable to do so. We use this personal information to get in touch with you about things relevant to your interest in Our Watch, unless you tell us not to.
We do not sell this information.
We may also collect some information that is not personal information because it does not identify you or anyone else. For example, we may collect anonymous answers to surveys or aggregated information about how users use our website (see Cookies and Google Analytics).
We take all reasonable steps to protect all personal information held by us from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. All staff at Our Watch who have access to confidential information are subject to confidentiality obligations.
When we no longer require your personal information or when you end your engagement with us, we will take reasonable steps in the circumstances to destroy your personal information or otherwise ensure that it has been de-identified.
