Terms & Conditions

NEW: updated 14 Sept 2007

Stop Climate Chaos is the UK's wide and growing coalition on climate change, bringing together environment and development organisations, unions, faith, community and women's groups. Members include Friends of the Earth, RSPB, Greenpeace, WWF, Oxfam, Christian Aid, the Women's' Institute and UNISON.

It aims to inspire and enable the public - as individuals and communities - to demonstrate they want to Stop Climate Chaos and to take action to reduce their carbon emissions. Highlighting this public concern and commitment, it will encourage the public to tell the Government they must take action too, between now and 2010, to promote a fair and healthy world.

"I Count" is the public campaign through which Stop Climate Chaos delivers these aims.

Internet Privacy Policy

Our icount.org.uk website and activities on third-party social networking web sites is vital in communicating the importance of our work and encouraging support. We want our visitors to understand how we use the information you give us and how we will communicate with you in the future.

What information do we collect and what do we do with it?

We will use the personal details you give us to tell you about our work though email, the icount.org.uk web site and via third-party social networking web sites we invite you to. We will use these channels to report on progress of actions to take to help stop climate chaos, and to allow communications from our member organisations if you request to be kept up-to-date via email when you sign up.

We will keep the data you provide for as long as we are required by law or for as long as is reasonable. Data may have to be disclosed to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. Any data held on third-party social networking sites is covered by that site’s privacy policy, which you should read before submitting your personal data.

If you give us your name and email address you will be emailed with information about our work UNLESS you indicate this would be unwelcome. We may pass your personal details to the member organisation who referred you to us, but only if you give us the authorisation to do so at registration. We will never sell or rent your personal data to other organisations.

Every subscriber has the opportunity to opt out of these exchanges at the point of registration. You will be given frequent opportunities to opt out of any use of your personal data that you might be uncomfortable with or unsubscribe from email communications.

If you provide us with information about another person, you confirm that they have appointed you to act for them, to consent to the processing of their personal data and that you have informed them of our identity and the purposes (as set out above) for which their personal data will be processed.

We do not and have no plans to transfer data to countries outside the UK and will change our privacy policy should this situation change. If you choose to participate via third-party social networking sites, you are responsible for deciding on the information you make available to others from around the world.

How do we respect your personal information on the map?

Information displayed on the map will be your map name, the first section of your postcode and the actions to which you have signed up (see here).  It will also show the estimated amount of carbon you have saved through your pledges. 

Your full name, full postcode or email address will never be made public.  Your personal data will never be sold or rented to any other organisations or made available to other individuals.  If you sign up to make pledges or take actions on this website, you are consenting to that data being recorded.

We will keep the data you provide for as long as we are required by law or for as long as is reasonable.  Data may have to be disclosed to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

From time to time we will review the map and may decide to add elements that provide enhanced functionality. 

For information about data protection see below.

If you've sent a text message 'I Count' to 84424, we will send you complimentary occasional broadcast messages.

The icon will remain in place for one month after the change occurs.
