We are a community of people based in Ireland advocating for the implementation of a sustainable economic model, known as Doughnut Economics.

Our principles and your privacy

We take your privacy very seriously and we are committed to protecting your information and respecting your rights under data protection laws. This Privacy Notice applies to all visitors to our website, recipients of our newsletters, and those who have signed up for membership to our community platform.

We process your personal information in accordance with our privacy principles:

• We comply with data privacy laws when processing your personal information.
• We will always be transparent with you about the ways in which we process your personal information.
• We will limit our collection of your personal information to the minimum we need, or that which you have opted to provide.
• We will not retain your personal information for longer than we need it.
• We respect your personal data protection rights and will make it easy for you to exercise them.
• We will always put your privacy and security first by choosing the least intrusive option when reviewing our internal processes and third party providers.
• We will not sell your personal information.

We keep this privacy notice under regular review and we will notify you of any material changes we make via the email address you have registered with us by registering on this Wiki and/or on our Movim instance. If you keep using your account after we notify you of material changes we have made, we will assume that you have consented to the updates communicated. If not, you may cancel your account at any time via the process outlined later in this document. If you have any questions or queries about our privacy notice or any material changes we have notified you of, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.

What Data Do We Collect?

We don’t receive any personal data about you other than what you provide to us by creating an account. When you create an account with us, we will collect some basic contact details, including your name, location and email address. We will also ask you for a password so you can gain secure access to your account in the future.

While setting up your account, and at any point during your membership, we will encourage you to upload a profile picture and write a short personal biography, so that other community members can learn a little more about you, but this is completely optional. You can also choose to include a link to any other social media profiles you may have (i.e. Instagram/Twitter etc) as well as any other personal information you think may be interesting.

As a member of our community, you are asked to share tools, experiences, and other content based on Doughnut Economics which you have developed yourself alongside the wider community. Please note that we collect any content you upload, as well as comments that you post on other members' public content.

While you may contact other community members directly if they choose to provide their contact information, we do not oversee private sharing of messages or resources between users and you should only share resources which you are happy to share with the wider community. How Do We Use Your Data?

If you become a member of our community, we will use your personal data to create and maintain your profile, to personalise and improve your experience while using our platform. We may also invite you to participate in surveys or research (although this will always be voluntary).

We will also use your information to detect, investigate and prevent any content or activities that may violate our community code of conduct or be illegal. We may also process your personal data for administration purposes (for example, we may contact you regarding the content you have uploaded or a comment you have posted), and also internal management (such as record keeping for enquiries, feedback or complaints we receive).

Posting and uploading onto our platform

One of the key principles of our community and purposes of our website is to provide you with the opportunity to share any tools and stories about the Doughnut and connect with other Doughnut Economics practitioners. Please be aware that when you choose to share content publicly, we cannot stop the wider distribution of your content and your content may become accessible through search engines such as Google.

If you choose to delete content or posts that you have uploaded, these may not be erased entirely if they have been previously downloaded or shared externally. Please make sure that you are completely comfortable with the wider community and general public being able to view and make use of your content before uploading onto our website.
