Marketing & Consent


From 25 May 2018 we only contact you for marketing purposes or to share our news with you where we have your express consent to do so. We will not send you marketing emails if you have asked us
not to.
We make it easy for you to let us know if you want us to communicate to you or not. Our forms have
a clear opt in to marketing and news tick box – if you do not tick it, we will not send you marketing
emails.
When you do give consent you can opt out at any time by clicking ‘Unsubscribe’ at the bottom of our
emails, or by emailing info@humansbeforeborders.org
The maximum marketing that we carry out includes quarterly newsletters as well as weekly emails
regarding upcoming courses. We only send information we think you will be interested in.


Do we share your information with anyone else?

We will never sell your information to anyone else for the purposes of marketing and we only share it
with necessary people.
Where we run an event or promotion in partnership with another organisation your details may need to
be shared to fulfil our contract with you or for legitimate reasons. An example of this would be an
organisation which is running an event for us – we need to send them your information in order
to book you into appropriate accommodation and to deliver services tailored to your needs (for example dietary).
We may share information with third parties who are performing a service for us. An example of this
is secure database provider that is PTISP a Portuguese company.
