Privacy Policy
This policy was retired on 28th May 2020. You can view the new policies here.
Doteveryone is a registered charity (no 1146972) and a company (no 06960661), registered in England and Wales. We run this website (tech-transformed.org) as well as doteveryone.org.uk and its subdomains.
We use third party services to publish work, keep in touch with people and understand how we can do both of these things better.

Privacy Information
We only collect personal data as volunteered by you in the legitimate interests of furthering our charitable objectives. You can access our websites without voluntarily disclosing any of your personal data.
We will also ask for consent for data processing where appropriate and will inform you of how we intend to manage it and what measures we will take to ensure its security.
We will not use this personal data for other purposes without asking your permission. We will not keep this information for longer than necessary. We will not use third parties to process your data without taking reasonable steps to ensure they comply with UK Data Protection legislation and EU General Data Protection Regulation. We will never sell your data to third parties.
Personal data that we collect is stored until you delete your account, which you can do by emailing hello@doteveryone.org.uk.
Visiting our Websites
We collect data from those visiting our websites to help us to understand how people are using them with the aim of achieving our charitable objectives.
Log Data
We also collect non-identifying information to help us to understand how visitors use our site, and to make improvements. Whenever you visit our website, we collect information that your browser sends to us that is called Log Data. This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser version, pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics.
Cookies
Like most websites, Doteveryone uses cookies to:
- Measure how you use the site so we can make it better.
- Remember your settings so we don’t have to keep asking you for them.
The BBC website site has a great plain English description of how cookies work.
We also use Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting which is based on data from Google Display Advertising. We use aggregate data provided by this service (such as age, gender and interests) to better understand our website audience and adjust our communications appropriately.
If you would like to opt out of Google Demographics and Interest Reporting please change your Google settings. Alternatively, you can choose to opt out of Google Analytics altogether by downloading an opt-out browser add-on.
You can also opt out of our analytics by turning on Do Not Track in your browser. Find out how to do this for Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge.
Security
We store your information on secure servers with third-parties including Google and Airtable and take steps to protect your personal information and follow procedures designed to minimise unauthorised access to or disclosure of your information. However, we can’t guarantee that we will eliminate all risk of misuse.
Links to Other Sites
Our website may contain links to other sites. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by us. Therefore, we strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of these websites. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
Newsletters
Doteveryone collects data when you subscribe to one of our newsletters. We use Mailchimp to process this data, to help us send out newsletters and to provide analytics and other services. Learn more about Mailchimp’s privacy practices here. Our lawful basis for processing this data is your consent when you subscribe to the newsletter.
When you subscribe to our newsletters, we ask for and store:
- Your name, so know how to address you
- Your email address, so we can contact you
- Your organisation, so we can understand where you work
- Your preferred format for receiving emails (plain text or HTML)
- Which newsletters you would like to receive
- Whether you consent to receive other marketing communications from us on our work and events.
Data provided by subscribers to our mailing list is used to provide updates on our work and events. Each newsletter is sent out around once a month. We may also provide occasional updates on relevant events that we are running, if you have opted in to receiving this information. We do not sell this data to third-parties.
You can also change your mind at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the footer of any email you receive from us. However, data about you will still be stored in Mailchimp to ensure we don’t contact you by mistake.
You can ask us to update or delete your details by emailing us at hello@doteveryone.org.uk.
Our Social Media Accounts
