“Brand Partner” means a third-party company that sponsors a Campaign. If a Campaign is sponsored, the Impact Unit you engage with through a Media Partner’s site will set forth the entity that is sponsoring the Campaign.
“Campaign” means the coordination by Public Good of Media Partners, Charity Partners, and/or Brand Partners in order to connect people with actions they can take to impact a particular cause.

The term “personal data” refers to all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. It includes, for instance, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address, and user behavior. Information that does not allow us to establish a connection to you as a person (or would only allow such a connection with an unreasonable amount of effort), for instance anonymized information, is not classed as personal data. Processing personal data (for instance collecting, querying, using, storing, and transferring personal data) always requires a legal basis or your consent. Processed personal data is deleted as soon as the purpose for which it was collected is fulfilled and applicable statutory retention periods no longer apply.
Insofar as we process your personal data in order to provide specific services to you, the following serves to inform you of the concrete processes, the scope and the purpose of data processing, the legislation on which it is based, and the duration of storage in each case.
