Privacy Policy

TCP website uses third party vendors, Paypal and Stripe, to process online donations. Our sponsors’ information collected through these vendors will only be used for purposes necessary to process the donation. Third-party internet sites accessible through our website (https://thecommonpeople.org), have separate privacy and data-collection practices not controlled by TCP.

TCP takes no responsibility for these independent policies and will not be liable for any actions of third parties in relation to privacy. Refer to those sites’ own privacy policies to learn how they collect and use your personal information.

As with many other websites, this site automatically recognizes your domain name, browser version, IP address, and the referring site you passed through to reach our site. These do not specifically identify you. In general, you can browse this site without revealing your identity or mentioning any personal information about yourself.

Any additional information you provide us such as your name, organization, address, telephone number and email address are collected only upon your consent. You must, provide such information whenever you sign up, or make an online contribution.

Your personal information may be used by TCP to forward you information by way of regular monthly newsletter or to contact you by telephone or mail. We also compile and use this information so that we may keep you apprised of TCP concerts or volunteering events, confirm receipts of donations, or comply with financial regulations and the law of the country.

The privacy and security of our sponsors’ personal information is very important to us. Regardless of source, personal identity is kept confidential, and any personal information an individual or organisation chooses to provide to TCP is only used for the purposes outlined in this policy. We will not sell, transfer, assign or rent your information to any third party without your permission. We will keep your information confidential except where disclosure is required or to government bodies and law enforcement agencies as permitted by law.

This policy applies to all information received by TCP, both online and offline, as well as through any electronic, written, or oral communications.
