We provide details below, +and we try our hardest to look after the private data that we hold. Like many +other websites, we sometimes use cookies and Google Analytics to help us make +our websites better. These tools are very common and used by many other sites, +but they do have privacy implications, and as a charity concerned with socially +positive uses of the internet, we think it’s important to explain them in full. +If you don’t want to share your browsing activities on mySociety’s sites with +other companies, you can adjust your usage or install opt-out browser plugins. + +<h2>Privacy</h2> + + <dl> + <dt>Who gets to see my email address?</dt> + <dd>If you submit a problem, we pass on your details, and details of +the problem, to the council contact or contacts responsible for the area where +you located the problem, or other relevant body (for example, in most of London +we send reports via the central London Report-It service, who may also publish +the public details of your report). Other than the council, who obviously get +your email address, only people we authorise to view the FixMyStreet +administration interface will be able to see your email address and they will +never use it for anything other than to help administer FixMyStreet. Similarly +with email addresses from updates. We will never give or sell your email +address to anyone else, unless we are obliged to by law. Your name, given in +the name field, will not be published anywhere unless you let us (if you give +your name elsewhere, e.g. in the public details section, it will be publicly +available).</dd> + <dt>Will you send nasty, brutish spam to my email address?</dt> + <dd>Never. We will email you if someone leaves an update on a +problem you’ve reported, and send you a questionnaire email four weeks +after you submit a problem, asking for a status update; we’ll only ever +send you emails in relation to your problem.</dd> + </dl> + +<h2>Cookies</h2> + +<p>To make our service easier or more useful, we sometimes place small data +files on your computer or mobile phone, known as cookies; many websites do +this. We use this information to, for example, remember you have logged in so +you don't need to do that on every page, or to measure how people use the +website so we can improve it and make sure it works properly.
