Mailchimp information
When you subscribe to one of our newsletters, a contact profile is created in Mailchimp. This provides detail on your interactions with our newsletters, for example, what newsletters you have been sent, which editions you have and have not opened, and how frequently you click on links contained in the newsletters you read.
We can also see data that shows us more general statistics around your interaction with the newsletters, for example, how many total opens a newsletter received, and which links were clicked the most.
We use this data to understand more about our subscribers’ needs from our newsletters, so that we can tailor our content to be the most relevant and useful it can be. We also use this data to create sub-sets of the overall subscriber list, for example, a group of those who have not opened a newsletter in a year or more, so we can remove them from the system.
