What we collect
For the first list pass, only the data people knowingly submit through the public signup: email, optional name, and the fact they consented to updates.
We should collect less, explain more, and make opting out easy.
Future Union should keep its data posture simple: collect what is genuinely needed, explain what it is for, and make leaving easier than being trapped.
Why we collect it
To send Future Union updates, journal drops, volunteering invites, and launch progress to people who explicitly asked for them.
How we plan to run the list
The intended v1 stack is owned list infrastructure rather than a rent-seeking third-party audience tool. That does not remove the privacy duty; it raises the bar for doing it properly.
What we do not do
No bought lists. No covert profiling. No inferred political dossiers. No cold political spam masquerading as community-building.
Your control
People should be able to opt out, ask what we hold, and request deletion. The public contact for that process is currently provisional: privacy@futureunion.org.uk.
