Don’t Kill Your Brother
In effect 20 September 2026 · version 1.3
Some of the people who sign this manifesto live in places where signing it is dangerous. The store behind this page was built on that assumption. The count is public. The names are not, and never will be.
One · Who holds the record
The signature record is held by Manas Heritage Press LLC, a Florida limited liability company (document no. L26000407407), publishing this manifesto under the imprint Human Family Press. Manas Heritage Press LLC is the data controller.
Write to privacy@dontkillyourbrother.com about anything on this page, including a request to see or remove your entry.
Two · What is collected
Only what the form asks for:
Nothing else about you. No account, no password, no tracking pixel, no advertising identifier, no cookies, and nothing stored in your browser. There is one exception, and it is set out at Six A below: the film on the front page is held by YouTube, and pressing play hands your request to Google.
One thing is counted, and it is worth describing exactly, because most sites that say “we only count” do rather more than that. This site keeps a running total per day of a handful of events — the page was opened, the poster was downloaded, the film was played, a shop link was followed, and which campaign card a visitor arrived from. What is stored is a number and a date, nothing more: poster downloaded, 14 September, 31 times. No address, no device, no session, no identifier, no record of any individual visit. The database cannot tell one visitor from another, cannot link a visit to a signature, and cannot reconstruct what any one person did. There is deliberately no measurement of how long anyone stayed, how far they scrolled, or what they did before signing — that would require following a person through the page, and this site does not do that.
Three · What it is used for
To keep the record of who has affirmed the twelve articles, and to publish one number: how many have. That number is the only thing this site displays.
An email address, if you give one, is stored with your entry and is used to find your record if you write to us about it. It is used for one further thing, and only if you ask: the campaign letter, below.
Three A · The campaign letter
Beside the form there is a second box, unticked unless you tick it. If you tick it and give an email, we may write to you about the campaign — about once a month, never more. Every letter carries a one‑click unsubscribe, and a reply saying “stop” does the same. If you leave the box unticked, or give no email, you will never hear from us.
Signing and subscribing are separate acts. Unsubscribing removes you from the letter and leaves your signature standing; asking for your record to be erased removes both.
Your data is never sold, rented, licensed, traded, or shared with any political party, candidate, campaign, government or advertiser.
Four · The lawful basis
Your consent, given by ticking the box on the form — Article 6(1)(a) of the UK and EU General Data Protection Regulation.
Signing a peace manifesto can be read as an expression of a political opinion, which the GDPR treats as a special category of personal data. The basis for holding it is therefore your explicit consent under Article 9(2)(a). This is why the box is unticked when the page loads, why it must be ticked deliberately, and why the wording beside it says plainly what is being agreed to.
Consent to the campaign letter is separate, given only by that second box and withdrawn by unsubscribing — your signature is untouched by it.
You may withdraw your consent at any time, and withdrawing it is as easy as giving it: one email to the address above. Withdrawal does not undo the processing that already happened, but it removes your entry going forward.
Five · Who can see the names
No visitor to this site can read the signature list. This is enforced at the database, not by a promise:
Access to the underlying record is limited to the author. It is not published, not posted, not printed, and not exported to any third party.
Six · Where it is held, and by whom
The record is stored in a PostgreSQL database operated by Supabase in the United States (US East). This site is served by Netlify. Both act as processors on the controller’s instructions, and both may log ordinary technical request data such as IP addresses for security and abuse prevention, under their own terms.
If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, your data is transferred to the United States. Those transfers rely on the standard contractual clauses incorporated in the processors’ data processing terms.
Six A · The film, and YouTube
The front page carries a film of the manifesto read aloud. It is hosted by YouTube, which is Google. The page does not load YouTube when it opens. What you see before pressing play is a still picture served from this site, and no request of any kind reaches Google until you choose to press play.
If you press play, that changes. Your browser then connects to YouTube directly; Google receives your IP address and the fact of the view, and may store data in your browser under its own terms — exactly as if you had opened the video on YouTube itself. The player used is YouTube’s privacy‑enhanced one, at youtube‑nocookie.com, which limits this but does not abolish it. Nothing about your signature, your email, or anything you typed on this page is sent to Google, and none of it can be.
Not pressing play is a complete way of avoiding all of the above. The film changes nothing else on this page, and the twelve articles are printed below it in full.
Seven · How long it is kept
A signature is a standing statement, so entries are kept indefinitely as a permanent record — that permanence is the point of signing. Your right to have it erased is undiminished by that, and one email removes it.
Eight · Your rights
If UK or EU data protection law applies to you, you have the right to: obtain a copy of your data; have it corrected; have it erased; restrict or object to its processing; receive it in a portable form; and withdraw consent. Exercising any of them costs nothing and requires no reason.
Requests go to privacy@dontkillyourbrother.com and are answered within one month. Because the record holds no verified identity, a request to erase a name will be acted on for entries matching the details you give; say which name and, if you left one, which email.
You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority — in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office; in the EEA, the authority in your country.
Nine · Children
This form is not directed at children and should not be used by anyone under 16. An entry identified as a child’s will be removed.
Ten · Changes
Version 1.3 (20 September 2026) added the film on the front page and Six A, which describes what pressing play hands to YouTube, and added the film to the list of daily event totals. Version 1.2 (13 September 2026) added the optional campaign letter and the record of whether it was asked for. Version 1.1 added the optional “how did you hear of this” question and described the daily event totals above; version 1.0 said only that there were no analytics, which was no longer the whole truth.
If this policy changes, the version and date at the top change with it. A change that materially alters what is done with signatures already given will be made by asking again, not by amending this page.
The manifesto itself is free to read and free to reprint. Nothing on this page limits that; it concerns only the names.
