Privacy Policy
Your privacy is one of our primary concerns. The Foundation for Justice and Democracy, “the Foundation,” makes every effort to provide you with a safe and private environment. This Privacy Policy tells you what information we gather and how we use it. It applies to the Foundation’s website fdjca.org, but not to those affiliate websites that have published their own privacy policies. This Privacy Policy also does not apply to the websites of our partners or to any third parties affiliates, even if their websites are linked to the Foundation’s website. We recommend you review the privacy policies of the other parties with whom you interact.
Information We Collect
We may ask you to provide personal information when you:
- Request services, support or information;
- Participate in surveys, sweepstakes or other promotional activities;
- Share the Foundation content through social media, or;
- Contact us.
Information we may request includes your email address, name, title, address, telephone number, social media public profile or business/company information (“Demographic Information”). If you make a donation, we may ask for your credit card number and billing information. Forms that you may fill in will indicate whether information requested is required or optional.
We may collect information about your visits to the Foundation’s website; including the pages you view, the links and ads you click, search terms you enter, and other actions you take in connection with The Foundation’s website and services. We may also collect certain information from the browser you used to access to a The Foundation Site, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and language, access times, the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the website that referred you to the Foundation’s website and to which website you browse away from a the Foundation’s website.
In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions with the Foundation’s website, information collected through one source may be combined with information obtained through other Foundation resources. We may also supplement the information we collect with information obtained from other parties.
Information Usage
The Foundation uses your personal information to:
- Send communications to you, such as your donation status;
- Customize, analyze and improve our technologies, communications and relationship with you;
- Protect the security or integrity of the Foundation’s website; or
- Otherwise, as disclosed to you at the point of collection.
Disclosing Personal Information
The Foundation may share your personal information with third parties to carry out the donations you make. In addition, we may disclose your personal information when legally required or to protect our rights.
Collection and Use of Children’s Information
The Foundation’s website is not directed toward children. We do not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13 through the Foundation’s website. If you are under 18 years of age, please do not submit any personal information through the Foundation’s website without the express consent and participation of a parent or guardian.
“Do Not Track” Signals
Please note that while you may have the ability to opt-out of targeted advertising through thehttp://www.networkadvertising.org/choices link above and you may be able to control the use of cookies through your web browser as described in the “Cookies and Tracking” section above, some web browsers may give you the ability to enable a “do not track” setting that sends a special signal to the websites you encounter while web browsing. This is different from disabling certain forms of tracking by declining cookies in your browser settings, as browsers with the “do not track” setting enabled still have the ability to accept cookies. The Foundation does not respond to web browser “do not track signals” at this time. If we do so in the future, we will describe how we do so in this Privacy Policy.
Notification of Privacy Changes
The Foundation reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. When changes are made they will be posted to The Foundation Sites immediately with a revised Effective Date. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy.
Third Party Sites
Please be aware that other websites that may be accessed through the Foundation Sites may collect personal information about you. The information practices of those third-party web sites are not covered by this Privacy Policy. The Foundation DOES NOT HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PRACTICES OF ENTITIES, WEBSITES AND/OR OTHER SITES NOT OWNED BY THE FOUNDATION FOR DEMOCRACY AND JUSTICE.
Credit Card Data
Recognizing your concerns about web commerce and transactions using bank and credit card information, the Foundation utilizes a third-party vendor approved by the PCI Security Standards Council for processing bank and credit card transactions. A secured SSL encryption is used for all bank and credit card transactions.
