Q I’m having trouble with Amnesty’s website.

If you are experiencing issues with our website, we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Please contact the Supporter Care Team using the details above, and explain the issue you are experiencing. We will then be able to investigate and help resolve the issue. We may ask you to provide additional information such as a screenshot of the error or the browser you are using. We thank you for your patience and your assistance in helping us resolve this.

Q Why do I have to give you my phone number/personal details?

We collect some basic personal information from our supporters for a few reasons. One is so that we can identify them properly in our database system, allowing us to collect petition signatures, store donation information, and send receipts, for example.

Sometimes we contact our supporters to update them with the progress of our campaigns. We may also ask for some help with funds when there is an urgent crisis and need for financial assistance. As we do not accept any government funding, we rely on our generous supporters to ensure the continuation of our human rights work.

We usually do not require you to submit your phone number on petitions if you access our website directly. However, sometimes, if you click on a petition via social media, it will require your phone number.

Please contact us directly or log into your online account to make changes to your communications preferences.

You can also refer to our Privacy Policy if you have any further questions about how your information is stored and used.
