At all times surefish aims to be transparent
and honest about the ISP services offered and the information provided
on the website. As far as contractual obligations and commercial
sensitivity allows, all plans and decisions regarding the service
will be made public via the website and email.
The surefish mission
Surefish is owned and run by Christian Aid Ltd, the trading arm
of the charity Christian Aid. All profits from surefish go to Christian
Aid's campaigning and development work toward the elimination
of poverty and injustice worldwide.
surefish ethical
policy
surefish aims to offer ethical choices and seeks to operate in the
most ethical way possible.
All commercial partners are vetted to ensure
as far as possible that neither they nor their owners are involved
in:
the arms trade
practices that are environmentally damaging
exploiting unfair labour practices
supporting regimes with poor human rights records
supporting unfair trade practices
holding unacceptable levels of third world debt
infringement of pharmaceutical marketing practices with essential
drugs policies
tobacco marketing in the third world
pornography
Wherever possible partners will be chosen that
deliver both a quality service and make a positive ethical impact
on the world. Not everything on offer is 100% ethical, but where
there are issues we let you know what they are and show how you
can find out more or take action.
For instance for some 'essential' services, such
as air travel, there is no positively ethical partner available.
Such services will still be provided in order to raise revenue for
Christian Aid. The best available partner will be chosen and their
status will be made clear. A full list of commercial partners is
below.
Gambling and alcohol
surefish will not offer any services that promote gambling. Surefish
does not currently promote the sale of alcohol through any of its
commercial partners, although this policy is being reviewed.
Your privacy
Surefish will not sell or otherwise distribute without your express
permission any personal information, except as legally required
to by law enforcement authorities.
Advertising
Surefish.co.uk is an advertising-free site. The only services or
products promoted on the site are those from ethically-vetted commercial
partners.
