Democracy Club reserves the right to withdraw access if the data is used in such a way that:

We aim to be clear and consistent in our application of these terms. In the event of problems brought to our attention, we’ll aim to follow the following steps:

  1. Democracy Club will raise the issue with the user, remind them of the terms and suggest steps to ameliorate the issue.
  2. If steps are not taken, or there is no response from a user, the issue will be reviewed by three board members and access may be removed. The executive director(s) has (have) the option to immediately suspend use before the review if they believe significant harm is occurring.
  3. A final review can be undertaken by the full board if the user requests it.
