Privacy Policy

Who we are

This website is shared by two separate organizations ("we", "us"):

• Center for Human Progress (US) Inc. is a nonprofit corporation incorporated in Delaware. The US Internal Revenue Service recognizes it as a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 41-2714374). Mailing address: 224 West 35th Street, Suite 500 #491, New York, NY 10001, USA.
• Centre for Human Progress is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales (company number 16630851). Registered office: c/o Russell-Cooke LLP, 8 Bedford Row, London WC1R 4BX, United Kingdom.

The two organizations decide together how this website uses personal data, so they are joint controllers of it. They share responsibility for complying with data protection law for the website. Centre for Human Progress provides this notice and is your point of contact: it answers requests and complaints about how this website uses your data, whichever organization holds the data. You can still contact either organization. If you give to one organization, or work with it, that organization is responsible for the personal data it receives for that purpose.

For privacy questions, email info@centerforhumanprogress.org.

Where your data is held

Our website providers hold your data mainly on servers in the United States, where our US organization is also based. Where UK law requires it, we protect personal data sent from the UK to the US, including data our UK organization shares with our US organization, with safeguards the UK approves: the UK-US data bridge, for providers certified under it, or the UK's international data transfer agreement or addendum. You can ask us for a copy of these safeguards at info@centerforhumanprogress.org.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you can ask us to:

• give you a copy of your personal data;
• correct it;
• delete it;
• restrict how we use it;
• stop using it where we rely on legitimate interests;
• give you the data you provided in a portable format, where that right applies.

Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time. For analytics, use "Cookie settings" on any page. Withdrawing consent doesn't affect anything we did before.

To use these rights, email info@centerforhumanprogress.org or write to Centre for Human Progress at its registered office. We will reply within one month. We may need to confirm your identity first.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, please tell us first at info@centerforhumanprogress.org. We will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days and tell you what we are doing about it. You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

If you live in the United States

Some US states also give residents rights over their personal data. If you live in one of them and its law applies to us, contact us and we will respond as that law requires.

Children

Security

We use established providers and encrypted connections, and we limit access to personal data to the people who need it. No website is completely secure.
