Hi there,

This week we’re taking a break from our regular round-up of the week's corruption news to bring you some very important information about this newsletter.

You might have heard about the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that comes into effect on 25 May 2018. This new law is all about giving you greater control, security and transparency over your personal online data – principles that we could not agree with more. 

In support of the new regulation, we’ve updated our Privacy Policy to make it even more transparent.

This also means we need your explicit and voluntary consent if you would like to continue receiving content from us.

We hope you enjoy our weekly newsletter updating you on everything corruption-related happening around the world.

So, if you’d like to continue hearing from us and agree that we collect, use and process your information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, please click the YES button below. If you do not take any action, you will be automatically unsubscribed once the GDPR comes into effect.

 

If you need some time to think about it, you can always come back to this email or subscribe again in the future. Remember, you can unsubscribe at any time.

We appreciate your support of Transparency International and the fight against corruption. We could not do this without you!
