Privacy on the front pages (and in this email)

Dear Avaazers, Facebook's revelations have put protecting privacy on the front pages and front of mind for many of us. So the Avaaz staff wanted to let you know how Avaaz deals with your data and get feedback from the community. And there are some new changes to that plan which mean after May 5th, you will have more control over, and protection for, your personal information. The Privacy Policy is now easier to read (yay!) and gives more details about how Avaaz protects personal data. It describes that your info is never rented or sold, and the new policy gives you details on how and why data is shared. And you now have more ways to control your data. The policy also describes when consent is used to process data and introduces Avaaz's Data Protection Officer who can answer questions or feedback at any time. You can reach Ben the DPO here. The Terms of Use are now also easier to read and shorter and make sure everyone knows they are responsible for the content they contribute to Avaaz (like starting a petition which anyone can do here). Avaaz makes sure that no content endangers or undermines the Avaaz mission (find that here! along with many of our recent victories together) and clarifies that content you contribute belongs to you, but Avaaz has permission to display, reuse, and share it to further the mission. The full policies are here: Privacy Policy, Terms of Use and Cookie Policy . And it would be amazing to hear what you think of them — this survey only takes a few minutes: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/K8F6BWT. With hope and gratitude for this amazing community, Emma and the rest of the Avaaz team
