2. How we will use the information about you
We gather this information to allow us to process your registration, add your name to the petition, provide information by email, and correspond with you when requested.

This data is processed with your consent, based on your choices when signing the petition, or on the basis of our legitimate interests (to communicate important information or respond to correspondence from you).

If published, this data will include your name and any information included in the ‘comment’ section of the petition form.
