You are advised to consult the “Privacy” link on the Site each time you visit the Site. Your continued use of the Site constitutes your agreement to the Policy, as it may be amended from time to time.
1. Information We Collect
Our website automatically collects some information via Google Analytics. This information includes browser and device information, approximate geolocation, and session statistics. Specifics regarding the information that Google Analytics collects can be found at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/11593727?hl=en.
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. Some parts of this Site may be password-protected. We may use a cookie to compile aggregate data about visitors to the Site and their interaction with the Site for the purposes of improving the operation of the Site and/or offering better Site experiences and tools in the future. You may at any time delete any cookies by using the relevant option of your Internet or mobile browser or by deleting the cookies on your hard drive or mobile device.
Donations and Gifts: Secure Transactions: In order to make a donation or other gift, you will be required to provide personal information about yourself. When you donate via the Site, your donation is processed via Classy, an online fundraising platform, and the Center does not have access to your credit card data. The privacy policy for Classy can be found at: https://www.classy.org/terms/privacy/. Other donation information (i.e., your name, address, donation amount) is transmitted to the Center via a secure connection.
Communications between you and the Center: As described in this Policy, you may contact the Center or subscribe to newsletters and other mailings, and the Center may respond to your inquiries or request for mailings. Additionally, when you provide us with your email address and mailing address, we may contact you to ask you to support the Center. You can choose not to receive such requests by emailing info@innovatingjustice.org. If you have opted to receive any of our publications by email, you are able at any time to unsubscribe from that publication by clicking the “unsubscribe” link that appears in the email publication itself.
2. How We Use Your Information
The Center may disclose certain personal information to third parties, (i) to manage our website and database with the help of service providers (who are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of any provided personal information), (ii) as part of our normal business operations, (iii) to send you communications about your interactions with us or about features of the Site, or (iv) as required by law or requested by governmental or law enforcement authorities, subpoena, court order or discovery request, or when we otherwise believe in good faith that such disclosure is appropriate in connection with any activity that may violate the law or the rights of others, threaten the safety or security of any person or property (including the Site) or expose us to liability.
3. How We Protect Your Information
We have implemented administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and/or alteration of your information. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect and store. However, we cannot and do not guarantee that these measures will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose your information because, despite our efforts, no Internet and/or other electronic transmissions can be completely secure.
