Purposes for processing the personal data of the signatories

We ask for consent from the signatories on the signature form for the following purposes:

To publicly display the signatory's name, city, country, and comment online on the signatures page.

To hand over the information provided by the signatory to the decision-makers.

Please provide the decision-makers in the fields below, or simply leave the fields empty if you don’t wish to specify them. We recommend entering only their positions, such as Secretary-General of the United Nations. This ensures that your consent to hand over the signatures remains valid even if the person in that role changes. If you include names, please also mention their positions, as not everyone will know their roles based on names alone.

Note: If you leave the fields empty, our system will automatically ask for consent from signatories with the following broad question: I authorize [[[Petition author]]] to hand over the information I provide on this form to the decision makers..
