General Statement of Privacy Policy

This privacy policy covers this website and our use of personal information.

We’re currently gathering personal information via forms to perform requested services. At some point soon we’ll be sending emails to our supporters.

Our use of your personal information is

Private: You can unsubscribe from lists at any time. We retain enough information to make sure you remain unsubscribed. We’ll remove all trace of your information if you ask us to do that.

Comments

We’re not permitting comments on the website at this time.

If and when visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

We’re not using comments on the website at this time. We’re not providing website accounts to the public at this time.

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you’ve visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

Additional information

How we protect your data

We protect your data in a number of ways. We only allow a small number of trusted staffers to access supporter data. We enforce high-quality login, password and physical security. In the rare case where we would print or write out any supporter data, we dispose if it when we’re done using it with a secure shredder. Our website uses the current industry standard SSL encryption, that’s the “https://” you see when you visit our site. This protects all data leaving or entering the website.

What data breach procedures we have in place

The website and our campaign’s local computers use a full suite of anti-virus, anti-malware and anti-intrusion software. Our server is protected by similar software and hardware. When and if we detect a data breach, we would immediately lock down the website, allowing no data except the pages themselves to flow in or out. We’d inform any website users about the breach and what we’re doing about it. We have a consultant on call who would help us recover from any breach.

What third parties we receive data from

None.

What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data

None.

Industry regulatory disclosure requirements

None.
