Our privacy policy is straightforward, short and easy to understand. It is founded on the belief that we should each have the right to control our personal information.

We undertake never to disclose your personal details to any third party organisations, companies or individuals in any circumstances unless you give us permission to.

All personal information sent in connection with the UpStarts Awards will be treated in the strictest confidence.

Judges, New Statesman and The Co-Operative Bank employees come under the same strict responsibility.

The only exception to the above will be to do with the online publishing of nomination details.

Contact details will be published for nominations only if the Nominator and Nominee both agree. The Nominator will also have the option to choose which form of contact they prefer and to remove their details at any time, without question.

Contact us if you have any questions, suggestions or complaints about this privacy policy.
