Effective Date: 4 October 2026
The New Independence Party (“the Party”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects the privacy of individuals who visit our website, communicate with us, request information, submit contributions, or express an interest in supporting or joining the Party.
This Privacy Policy explains how personal information provided through our website or through our electronic communications is collected, used, stored, disclosed and protected.
The Party will process personal information responsibly, transparently and only for legitimate purposes connected with its activities and objectives.
The information we collect will depend on the nature of an individual’s interaction with the Party.
It may include a person’s name, email address, telephone number, country or place of residence, professional or occupational information, areas of expertise or interest, and any other information voluntarily provided to us.
Where an individual applies for membership, registers as a supporter, participates in consultations or communicates political views to the Party, the information provided may reveal political opinions or affiliations. The Party recognises the sensitive nature of such information and will provide it with an appropriate level of protection.
Where an individual submits an article, research paper, policy proposal, comment or other contribution, we may collect the information contained in the submission together with any accompanying documents and contact information.
The website may also collect limited technical information necessary for its operation, security and administration, including IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and website usage information.
The Party will use personal information only for legitimate purposes connected with its activities and objectives.
These purposes may include processing membership and supporter applications, responding to enquiries, communicating with members and supporters, administering Party activities, organising consultations and discussions, considering policy proposals and other contributions, coordinating the participation of volunteers and experts, providing information about Party activities and publications, maintaining and improving the website, protecting the security and integrity of our systems, and complying with applicable legal obligations.
Personal information will not be used for a materially different purpose without an appropriate legal basis or consent where consent is required.
The Party recognises that participation in the activities of a political movement may reveal information concerning an individual’s political opinions, affiliations or interests.
Such information will be treated as sensitive and confidential. Access will be restricted to authorised persons who require the information for legitimate Party purposes.
The Party will not sell or commercially trade personal information relating to members, supporters, contributors or other persons who communicate with us.
Where applicable law requires consent, including explicit consent, for the processing of sensitive personal information, the Party will obtain the required consent.
Information provided in connection with membership or support will be used to administer the individual’s relationship with the Party and for activities legitimately connected with the Party’s objectives.
Membership and supporter records will be treated as confidential and access will be restricted to authorised persons.
Registering as a supporter, submitting an enquiry, participating in a consultation or contributing to a discussion does not, by itself, constitute membership of the Party.
Where material is submitted for possible publication, the Party may use the information accompanying the submission to evaluate the material, communicate with its author and, where accepted, edit, translate, format and publish the contribution.
An author’s name may be published with a contribution unless anonymity has been agreed in advance.
Material submitted for publication will also be governed by the Party’s Publication Policy.
The Party will not sell or commercially trade personal information.
Personal information may be made available to authorised persons working for or on behalf of the Party where access is reasonably necessary for legitimate Party activities.
The Party may use external providers for services such as website hosting, information technology, email communications and data storage. Where such providers have access to personal information, their access will be limited to what is necessary for the provision of the relevant service and appropriate safeguards will be applied.
Personal information may also be disclosed where required by applicable law, a lawful court order or a competent authority.
The Party engages with citizens, communities, experts and supporters within the country and throughout the diaspora. Personal information may therefore, where necessary, be accessed, processed or stored in different countries.
Personal information will be protected by appropriate technical and organisational measures against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, loss or destruction.
Where personal information is transferred or accessed internationally, the Party will apply appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable data-protection requirements.
Personal information will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, legitimate Party administration, record keeping, dispute resolution or compliance with applicable legal requirements.
When personal information is no longer reasonably required, it will be securely deleted or anonymised, subject to any applicable legal or legitimate record-retention requirements.
The website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for its proper operation, security and administration.
The Party may also use website analytics to understand how visitors use the website and to assist in improving its content, accessibility and performance.
Information collected through analytics or similar technologies will be handled and protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection requirements.
Where consent is required by applicable law for the use of non-essential cookies, analytics or tracking technologies, those technologies will not be activated until the required consent has been obtained.
The Party will not use website analytics to identify or profile individual visitors for unrelated commercial purposes.
The Party will maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, loss or destruction.
Access to sensitive membership, supporter and political information will be restricted to persons authorised to access such information for legitimate Party purposes.
While no method of electronic transmission or storage can provide an absolute guarantee of security, the Party will take reasonable and proportionate measures to protect the personal information entrusted to it.
Depending on the law applicable to an individual, that person may have rights in relation to personal information held by the Party. These may include rights to request access to personal information, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion where appropriate, withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, or object to certain forms of processing.
Requests concerning personal information may be submitted to:
info@sudannewindependenceparty.org
The Party may take reasonable steps to verify the identity of a person making a request before providing access to, correcting or deleting personal information.
The website is primarily intended for adults participating in political and public discussion.
The Party will not knowingly collect sensitive political information from children through membership or supporter registration processes intended for adults.
If such information is inadvertently received, it will be appropriately handled and deleted where its continued retention is unnecessary or inappropriate.
The website may contain links to websites, social-media platforms or services operated by third parties.
The Party is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of those external services. Individuals are encouraged to review the privacy policies applicable to third-party websites before providing personal information to them.
The Party may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in its activities, the operation of the website, technology or applicable legal requirements.
Any revised Privacy Policy will be published on this website together with its effective date.
