  • What Information We Collect and How We Collect It

Categories of personal information we collect. The types of personal information we obtain about you depend on how you interact with us. When we use the term “personal information”, we are referring to information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your household. In the past twelve (12) months, we have collected the following categories of personal information:

  • Identifiers and information about you, including contact information, such as your name, alias, address, email address, telephone number, mailing address, online identifiers, IP address, social media handle, username, job title, business name, jurisdiction, and other similar identifiers;
  • Commercial information, such as records of donations, contributions, transactions, billing information, payment records, event registrations, and records of services or programs you have engaged with;
  • Professional or employment-related information, such as employer, job title, resume information, educational background, qualifications, references, and other information submitted in connection with employment, volunteer, internship, fellowship, contractor, or similar opportunities; 
  • Internet or other electronic network activity information, such as browser type and version, type of device you use, operating system version, device identifiers, referring URLs, pages viewed, links clicked, dates and times of access, metadata and user behavioral metrics about your use of our Services and emails, advertising interactions, and information regarding how you interact with our Services, communications, advertisements, and digital content; 
  • Communications, such as email communications, text messages, webform submissions, chat communications, customer support inquiries, petition submissions, advocacy campaign participation, volunteer communications, job applications submitted by email, survey responses, and other communications with us; 
  • Geolocation data, such as general location information derived from IP address or device information; 
  • Inferences drawn from personal information, such as information regarding your interests, likely preferences, engagement patterns, outreach preferences, and interactions with our Services, campaigns, communications, and content; 
  • Sensitive personal information, as defined under applicable law and to the extent voluntarily provided by you, such as account login credentials, precise geolocation information, or information relating to advocacy, campaign, civic engagement, or political activities in connection with your interactions with our Services.

How we collect personal information. We may collect or receive this personal information about you in the following ways:

  • Information you provide to us. We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you use or interact with our Services, including when you complete forms, make donations, sign petitions or advocacy actions, register for events or volunteer opportunities, subscribe to communications, submit applications, communicate with us, or otherwise provide information to us. You may elect not to provide certain information, but doing so may limit your ability to use certain features of the Services or otherwise interact with us.
  • Information we collect automatically. As you use or interact with our Services, we and our third-party service providers, analytics providers, advertising partners, and social media platforms may automatically collect certain information about you through cookies, pixels, web beacons, SDKs, tags, and similar tracking technologies. These technologies may be used for purposes including analytics, audience measurement, personalization, advertising, campaign effectiveness, fraud prevention, security, and improving our Services. These technologies may also permit us and our partners to recognize users across devices, websites, services, and browsing sessions. For more information, please see our “Cookies and Other Technologies” section below.
  • Information we collect from other sources. We may receive personal information about you from third parties that help us operate our Services and activities, such as our service providers and marketing and paid acquisition partners, as well as from publicly available sources. This may include fundraising and payment processors, analytics and advertising providers, advocacy and communications platforms, recruiting and applicant-management providers, social media platforms, affiliated organizations, and publicly available sources. We may also receive personal information when you interact with us through third-party platforms or services. Any information we obtain from third parties will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
  • How We Use Information

We may use your personal information:

  • To respond to any request you have made, including for information, advocacy actions, event participation, volunteer opportunities, donations, communications, or other interactions with us;
  • To communicate with you about our programs, events, organizational updates, campaigns, advocacy initiatives, fundraising efforts, petitions, volunteer opportunities, including to send  communications, updates, fundraising requests, donation appeals, and other informational or promotional materials (from which you can opt out by following the processes described in those communications or by contacting us at any time), and to provide information you request;
  • To personalize your experience with our Services, analyze engagement with our communications and campaigns, measure the effectiveness of our outreach, advertisements, advocacy efforts, and fundraising activities, and improve our Services and organizational activities;
  • To comply with our legal obligations or requests from law enforcement and government agencies, and to protect or exercise our legal rights and defend against legal claims;
  • To provide support and resolve issues, enhance and maintain our Services, and ensure their security and integrity; 
  • To monitor compliance with and enforce this Privacy Policy and any other applicable agreements and policies; and
  • For any other purpose disclosed at the time the information is collected or otherwise with your consent, where required by applicable law.
  • How We Share Personal Information

In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have disclosed various categories of personal information for business, operational, advocacy, fundraising, communications, analytics, advertising, security, and administrative purposes. Specifically, we disclose information that individuals voluntarily provide to us when registering for or participating in events, campaigns, petitions, advocacy initiatives, volunteer opportunities, fundraising activities, or otherwise communicating with us, and have made those disclosures to service providers that support event administration, communications delivery, fundraising and payment processing, analytics, advertising, advocacy and communications activities, recruiting and applicant-management activities, data hosting, social media engagement, and technical operations, for the purpose of administering events, communicating with participants, responding to inquiries, and providing our Services and related activities. We may also disclose personal information between Demand Justice and Demand Justice PAC to support their respective advocacy, fundraising, organizing, political, communications, and related activities, consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Demand Justice also manages registration, data, and communications for participants in various campaigns, as may be disclosed from time to time at the point of collection. When Demand Justice does this, we will share data collected from your form submissions made in connection with the campaign (which may include your name, contact information, payment card information in the event of donations, internet or other electronic network activity information obtained in connection with your interactions with the campaign, and other categories of personal information as are identified above) with these partner organizations, as we deem necessary and appropriate to support the relevant campaign, subject to such data-sharing agreements as Demand Justice may enter with these partner organizations. You may receive communications, including via e-mail or text/SMS message, from Demand Justice or the other partner organizations we share your information with when you sign one up for a campaign.

We also disclose online activity information collected through cookies and similar technologies to analytics providers, advertising partners, social media platforms, and other third parties to help us understand how our website is used and to improve its performance, functionality, campaign effectiveness, advertising efforts, and security. We also use cookies and similar tracking technologies to support targeted advertising, audience measurement, campaign effectiveness, and related outreach activities. We have established a presence on various social networking services, through which we provide information about Demand Justice’s services and operations, and through which you may interact with us directly (such as through commenting on our posts or interacting with our profile) or indirectly (such as by mentioning us or interacting with posts from other users that mention us). Accordingly, if you choose to access or make use of third-party social networking services, we may receive information about you that you have made available to those third-party services, and we may also share information about you (such as your interactions with us on the social networking services) with those services through our use of those services. We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. We may disclose certain personal information and online activity information to analytics providers, advertising partners, and social media platforms in a manner that may constitute “sharing” for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising under certain U.S. state privacy laws.

If we sell all or part of Demand Justice, or are otherwise involved in a merger, acquisition, business transfer, or bankruptcy, we may transfer your information, including personal information, to one or more third parties as part of that transaction. We may further disclose personal information as required to comply with applicable law or respond to lawful requests from public authorities, if we determine that it is required by an applicable law or regulation, or if we determine that it is necessary to share such information with others to protect our Services, operations, or our legal rights.

In addition to the disclosures described above, we may disclose personal information for other purposes disclosed at the time of collection or with your consent, where required by applicable law.

  • Your Choices About Our Collection, Use, and Disclosure

To exercise your rights described above, please submit a request to Demand Justice by:

We may not be able to fulfill your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. We may request additional information from you when appropriate and, in certain circumstances to verify your identity, we may request up to three pieces of personal information about you. We reserve the right to take additional steps as necessary to verify your identity if we have reason to believe a request is fraudulent. If you do not agree with how we responded to your request, you may ask us to review our decision by contacting us through the above noted methods.

Opt-out signals. We recognize and process opt-out preference signals sent through the Global Privacy Control (GPC) where required by applicable law. At this time, we do not respond to other automated browser- or device-based opt-out preference signals (including “Do Not Track” signals).

Response timing and format. Where required, we endeavor to respond to requests within 30 days of receipt or within such other time as may be required by law. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. Where we are required to or opt to provide a written response, we will deliver the written response by mail or electronically, as you direct us. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot or will not comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

If you wish to appeal a decision we have made regarding your consumer request, you can submit your appeal by using the contact information provided above.

  • Cookies and Other Technologies 

As is standard practice on most websites, Demand Justice and third parties may use a variety of technologies that collect information automatically, including cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, tags, SDKs, and similar tracking technologies. Those technologies may collect, among other things, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), device identifiers, operating system information, browsing activity, referral information, interactions with our Services and communications, and approximate geolocation information. We may use this information to analyze trends and traffic patterns, to administer the Services, to track users’ movements around the Services and to gather demographic information about our user base. We may also use cookies and other technologies to (i) help us understand which parts of our Services are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how much time they spend there; (ii) to understand how visitors engage with our Services, communications, campaigns, advertisements, and fundraising efforts; and (iii) to customize your experience and provide greater convenience each time you interact with us. We and certain third parties may also use these technologies for analytics, advertising, audience measurement, campaign effectiveness, and cross-context behavioral advertising purposes. You can choose to limit or restrict the use of cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a warning before cookies are stored on your device. Please note that some parts of our website may not work properly if cookies are disabled.

Cookies. A cookie is a small text file that is sent to your browser when you access a website, including the Services. We and the third parties described below may use session cookies. A session cookie is available only during the course of the browser session; the information is not sent to or stored on a computer’s hard drive. Closing the browser or logging off will invalidate the session cookie. You also have the choice to enable a persistent cookie, which will remember your preferences and other information each time you visit the website.

 

Web Beacons. “Web beacons” or “tracking pixels” are electronic images, tags, or scripts that allow a website to access cookies, and, among other things, help track general usage patterns of visitors to a website. Web beacons can recognize certain types of information, such as cookies, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page where the web beacon is placed. We and the third parties described below may use web beacons to compile information regarding your use of the Services.

Email Tracking. In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on or through our Services. When users click one of these URLs, they pass through our web server before arriving at the destination web page. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our communications. If you prefer not to be tracked, simply avoid clicking text or graphic links in the email.

  • Data Collection from Children

Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect, use, process, or otherwise disclose information about children under the age of 18. If we learn that we have unintentionally received personal information from a child under the age of 18, we will delete that information in accordance with applicable law. If you want to notify us of our possible receipt of information by children under the age of 18, please contact us at: [email protected]; (202) 240-8993.

  • How We Protect Your Personal Information

Demand Justice takes precautions—including administrative, technical, and physical measures—designed to safeguard your personal information. Please keep in mind that the transmission of information over the internet and on mobile platforms is not always secure, which means we cannot and do not guarantee the security or confidentiality of any personal information you provide to us. It is always possible that third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications despite our efforts to prevent this. Given this reality, your use of our Services, and your decision to provide personal information to us, is at your own risk.

  • Retention of Information

Demand Justice will retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which the personal information is processed, including to provide our Services and activities, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements and policies, and protect our legal rights. We will retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies. The criteria used to determine our retention periods may include the nature of our relationship with you, the sensitivity of the information, the purposes for which the information was collected, reasonably anticipated future interactions with you, and applicable legal, regulatory, accounting, reporting, or operational requirements.

  • Third-Party Privacy Policies

Please be aware that other websites, including social networking services, may collect personally identifiable information about you, including if you access those other websites through links Demand Justice provides. The information practices of those third-party websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy, but instead by the privacy policies of the third-party websites, which will govern the use of your information by the applicable third party operator. We assume no responsibility or liability for the actions of third parties with respect to their use of your information. Accordingly, make sure you are aware of, and comfortable with, the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit, even when linked from our Services. 

  • Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect material changes in the manner in which we deal with personal information, including changes in applicable law, technology, our data practices, or our organizational or operational activities. We encourage you to review it regularly. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective upon posting the updated Privacy Policy to our Services, unless otherwise required by applicable law.
