Green Football’s Great Save (GFGS) is an initiative of Count Us In (CUI), a charity that brings together people and organisations taking high impact steps to address climate change. We have partnered with Pledgeball, Sky Zero, TNT Sports, exceptionalTM and the Football Supporters Association for the Green Football’s Great Save campaign. You can pledge to take green actions through Pledgeball’s website.

Privacy notice

This notice sets out how CUI collects and uses your personal information in relation to Green Football’s Great Save. This includes the greenfootball.org website and other information relating to
the campaign from the Pledgeball website.

Pledgeball has its own privacy notices on their websites setting out its data collection and use. CUI accepts no responsibility for any third party website.

The Green Football’s Great Save website

When you contact us by email using the ‘Get in touch’ link on greenfootball.com we will collect your Name, Organisation (if relevant), email address and your message or action details. We will use the contact details you provide only to manage your interest in joining the GFGS campaign, which will involve responding to your message. We will keep your messages and our responses for no longer than six months unless you choose to give us further consent.

Your pledges on the Pledgeball website

We are working in partnership with Pledgeball to understand how successful the Green Football’s Great Save campaign has been, we will share your information with them. They will collect information from you, and have asked us to carry out the analysis, which involves sending you surveys and analysing all the results.

We will receive from them and will share with them the following information that you provide on these websites.

• Your name
• Email address
• Your organisation (if relevant)
• The action you plan to take
• What football club you support
• Survey answers which will be anonymised.

We will use this information for two purposes.

1. For anonymous analysis and statistics: we collate the information on the actions taken, the clubs people support and if people play for a team to create reports to report back to the partnership how the campaign performed.
2. To contact individuals for surveys and research: we will email you in the future to ask you questions relating to your attitudes towards climate change, football, and climate action. We will analyse the results and create anonymous reports for the partnership and to publish, showing how the campaign performed. We will keep your information for this purpose for no longer than six months.
3. If you have entered a competition and win a prize, we will use the data collected when you entered the competition to contact you and , if the prize requires it, we will share your contact details with the third-party prize provider. We accept no responsibility for third party use of your data.

A survey will typically ask you for your name, email address, gender and age, and may ask you to rate how clear the campaign was, its potential impact on climate action or driving solutions in football. We may also ask you what motivated you to take part in the campaign, and how you found the experience. Your name and email address will only be used by us to check that you have not completed the survey more than once.
