Privacy Policy

Mosaic complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and will endeavour to keep your personal information accurate and up to date and ensure that it is not kept longer than necessary.

What data do we collect, and why?

We collect and use a number of different types of data, some of which is personally identifiable and some which isn’t. These are:

Statistical data

Mosaic collects information from all website visitors using statistics tools. This information includes (but is not limited to) the date and time of visit, browser name and version, IP address, and referring website. This information is used for evaluating and further developing the website for our digital audiences. No personal data is collected via statistics tools.

Mailing list

When you sign up to our mailing list we ask you to enter personal data in the form of your name and email address. These are collected so we can send you updates about our work. We ask for your consent when joining our mailing list and this forms the lawful basis for us for us holding the data. We use Mailchimp as our marketing platform. When you sign up to our mailing list, we ask you to acknowledge that your information will be transferred to Mailchimp for processing. Learn more about Mailchimp’s privacy practices.

How can I stop you from sending me emails?
You can unsubscribe from the mailng list at any time by clicking the link in the footer of our emails. Every email we send you will have an unsubscribe option at the bottom. Alternatively email us at contact@morethanhuman.net with a mailing list removal request and we will remove you.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to inform us about our digital audience demographics. We will use the data provided by Google Analytics to develop our website and content around our users’ interests. The data is provided in aggregate and is not personally identifiable to us. You can opt-out of Google Analytics using their browser add-on to disable tracking by Google Analytics and you can see Google’s privacy policy here.

Storing data

All data is stored securely, with regulated and limited access. The data collected is used exclusively by Mosaic in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Backups of the database are stored on servers within the EU.

Mosaic does not rent, sell or otherwise share information about our contacts with any other business, organisation or individual. The only exception to this is where we are legally obliged to do so to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our website.

These so called “analytics” programs also tell us if , on an anonymous basis, how people reached this site (e.g. from a search engine) and whether they have been here before helping us to better understand our audience.

Some third party services embedded within this website set their own cookies. These are known as third party cookies because they are not set by our website.
