Who we are
The No Corruption Alliance: We are a directory network that supports independent MP candidates to get elected that have signed a pledge designed to help prevent corruption. We also provide materials and a directory network to promote better organization of local independent campaigning branches. These materials include advice and education on researching the MP candidates they support potential conflicts of interest. Our website address is: https://www.nocorruptionalliance.com and the original developer is Daryl Brown.
Our Privacy Promise
The No Corruption Alliance will never store, share or use any data stored by us for anything that is beyond the functioning of our goals to help you network and get independent MP candidates elected. This may include sharing site and user data with people who could resurrect the directory in the event that something happens to the founder preventing the founder from operating it. We will never sell your data to anyone. I will always endeavour to utilize any third party scripts, plugins or externally based tools that we do not have control over what happens to the data as least as possible. Whenever my skill sets and time availability allow I will aim to remove-and-replace any reliance on third party scripts, plugins and externally based tools to help make this website and directory run. If you are able to assist me in this by building these replacement tools in-house then please contact me to help.

Third Party Plugins
Shariff Wrapper (Social Media Share Buttons Plugin):
Social Media Plugin “Shariff Wrapper”
On our website we offer you the possibility to use so called “Social Media Buttons”. To protect your data, we use a solution called “Shariff”. Hereby the share buttons are implemented as static images, which contain a link to the corresponding social network site. If you click on such a button, you will be redirected to the respective social network site in the same way, as normal links would do as well. Only in that moment of time the provider of the social network site will get information about you, for example your IP address. If you do not click on such a share button, no data will be transmitted. Information about the collection and usage of your date on the social network sites can be found in the corresponding terms of use of the respective provider. More information about the plugin and the Shariff solution can be found here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/shariff/
