We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date of the latest revision will be listed at the bottom of the Policy.  We encourage you to check this page each time you visit one of our websites so that you will know if the Policy has changed since you last visited the site.  Your use of our websites indicates your acceptance to be bound by the terms of the Privacy Policy in effect as of the date of your use.  If you do not agree to be bound by the terms of the Privacy Policy, do not use our websites.

Our Collection of Personal information

We do not collect personally identifiable information about individual users unless a user voluntarily provides such information to us.  We store any information that you provide, such as your name, mailing address or email address, using secure servers.  We may share your information with third party vendors who use your information for the sole purpose of fulfilling your request (e.g., charging your donation).  Each of our vendors has agreed to keep your information confidential from disclosure to others.  We may also share your information within our family of organizations (Bolder Advocacy, Alliance for Justice and Alliance for Justice Action Campaign).  In addition, we will cooperate with law enforcement, which may include disclosing some of your personal information if necessary.  We will never sell any of your personal information to any third party.  And we will never post any of your personal information online without your consent.

Use of Cookies

“Cookies” are small text files that facilitate a user’s access to and use of a website and allow a website operator to track usage and behavior with respect to its sites.  We use cookies that automatically collect certain non-personal information about visitors to our websites, such as the browser and type of computer you are using, the website that referred you to us, the pages you view and the date and time that you view those pages.  We collect this information on an aggregate basis, which allows us to improve our websites to make them more useful to our users.  We do not use any of this information on an individual basis.

Protecting Children’s Privacy

We are concerned about the safety and privacy of children online. Therefore, we do not and will not knowingly contact or collect personal information from children under 13.  Our site is not intended to solicit information of any kind from children under 13.  It remains possible, however, that we may receive information given to us by or pertaining to children under 13.  If we are notified of this, as soon as we verify the information, we will promptly either obtain parental consent or delete the information from our servers.  If you want to notify us of our receipt of information by or about any child under 13, please email us at allianceforjustice@afj.org.

Security

You may be able to purchase items or donate money via our websites.  We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to protect the transmission of information you submit to us via our secure forms.  All online financial transactions are processed through a secure window hosted by Verisign, a leading provider of digital trust services and transactions.  We do not retain, share or use any of your financial information for any purpose other than to process your payment.  We have security measures in place to help protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information within our control.  Only employees with a need to know certain information to perform a specific task are granted access to personally identifiable information of our users.  In addition, the servers that store sensitive information are kept in a secure environment.

Emails

You may sign up to receive email communications from us.  These emails provide information that we think will be of interest to you, for example, information about new features or content on our sites, or calls for action on certain social justice issues. You can always “opt out” of receiving our online communications by following the unsubscribe directions on any of the emails, or by sending us an email at allianceforjustice@afj.org asking that we delete you from our subscriber list.

Please recognize that emails are not secure against interception.  Therefore, please do not send us sensitive or personal information via email.

Links to Other Websites

We provide links to other sites from our websites.  We are not responsible for the privacy policies or the content on such sites.  You should read the privacy policy of each website that you visit.  This Privacy Policy applies only to information that we collect through our websites.

ADDITIONAL TERMS SPECIFIC TO USE OF THE CAPACITY ASSESSMENT TOOLS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZING EVALUATION COMPENDIUM

Alliance for Justice has created the Advocacy Capacity Tool (ACT), ACT!Quick, the International Advocacy Capacity Tool (IACT), PowerCheck, and Resources for Evaluating Community Organizing (RECO) (collectively, the “Tools”) which are free capacity assessment and evaluation tools available via its Bolder Advocacy website.  The following terms and conditions apply to information collected via these Tools:

  • We do not provide, sell, or rent email addresses to anyone outside the organization.
  • We will not share or disclose organization-specific or individual-specific data with any third party or with any website user (other than the individual or organizational website user that completed the tool) in any individualized manner.  Such data, minus organizational or individual identifying information will, however, be shared with and disclosed to third parties in the aggregate.
  • Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may disclose to a particular grantor that has requested its grantees complete a specific Tool the identity of those grantees who have completed it, but not the data entered by the grantee unless they have given express permission to do so.  Otherwise, we will not share or disclose the identity of any organizations that have completed the Tool unless we first obtain permission from such organization.
  • We may contact users of the Tools to inform them of new resources available from Bolder Advocacy or to ask them about their experience with using these Tools.
