Who we are
Our National Zoo is a petition run by Dan Price’s campaign. Dan Price is the Labour and Co-operative Party candidate for Mayor of Cheshire and Warrington.
Dan Price’s campaign is the data controller for the details you give us on this site. That means we decide how they are used and we’re responsible for looking after them. You can contact us about your data at hello@danprice4mayor.co.uk.
What we collect
When you sign the petition, we collect:
- your first and last name
- your email address
- the first part of your postcode, for example CH2
- your phone number, if you give it
- your comment, if you write one
- whether you asked for campaign updates by email
- the date and time you signed
Signing a petition run by a political candidate can show your political opinions. The law treats this as a special category of personal data, and we take extra care with it.
The “What animal are you?” quiz runs in your browser. We don’t receive or store your answers or your result.
How we use it
- to record your support for the petition and count the people who have signed
- to understand where support comes from, using the first part of your postcode
- to email you about the campaign, but only if you ticked the box asking for updates
- to spot spam and duplicate signatures
We’ll only use your details for this campaign. We won’t sell them, and we won’t give them to other organisations to use for their own purposes.
Our legal basis
We rely on your consent. Signing is your choice, and because your signature can show your political opinions, submitting the form gives us your explicit consent to hold it. Campaign emails are sent only if you ticked the box asking for them.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing us. We’ll then delete your signature or stop sending you emails, whichever you ask for.
Who looks after your details
Only the people running the campaign can see your details. We use these services to run the petition, and they handle your details only on our instructions:
- Vercel, which hosts this website and counts visits to it
- Neon, which provides the database where signatures are stored
- a spreadsheet service the campaign team uses to work with a copy of the signatures
Your signature is stored in a database in London, and the website code that receives it also runs in London. Some of these services are run by companies based in the United States and may handle your details there. Where your details are handled outside the UK, the transfer is covered by safeguards recognised under UK law, such as the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.
How long we keep it
We keep the details you give us until 2 October 2027, and then delete them. If you unsubscribe from campaign emails or ask us to delete your details before then, we’ll do that sooner.
Cookies and visiting the site
This site doesn’t use cookies, and nothing is stored on your device.
We use Vercel Web Analytics to count visits, so we can see how many people come to the site and how they find it. It records the pages viewed, the site you came from, your country and your type of browser, operating system and device. It doesn’t store your IP address or follow you across other sites, and it can’t identify you. To tell visits apart without cookies, it uses a scrambled code made from details of your request, which is discarded within 24 hours. We do this because we have a legitimate interest in knowing how the campaign is reaching people.
Our hosting provider also keeps short-term technical logs, including IP addresses, to run the site and protect it from abuse.
The links to Facebook and Instagram take you to those sites, and their own privacy policies apply there.
Your rights
You have the right to:
- ask for a copy of the details we hold about you
- ask us to correct them
- ask us to delete them
- ask us to stop or limit how we use them
- withdraw your consent at any time
Email hello@danprice4mayor.co.uk to use any of these rights. We’ll reply within one month.
If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your details, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we’ll update this page and the date at the top.
