PRIVACY POLICY

Jobs with Justice is firmly committed to Internet privacy. We have created this privacy policy to explain what kinds of information we collect through our website and how we use the information that we collect. Jobs with Justice may modify this policy from time to time by posting an updated policy on the site, so we encourage you to check this page when revisiting this website.

The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website. The type and amount of information we receive depends on how you use the site.

Website Usage/Information Collection When you visit the Jobs with Justice website, we automatically obtain information from you about the name of your Internet service provider, the browser and type of computer you are using, the website that referred you to us, the pages you request and the date and time of those requests. We use this information on an aggregate basis to generate statistics and measure site activity to improve the usefulness of the site to our visitors. For example, we use this information to track which pages are most popular among visitors as a whole. We do not track the pages you or any individual visitor may look at during a visit to our site and we do not collect any other information from you or about you, unless you provide that information to us.

Cookies A cookie is a piece of data stored on a user's hard drive containing information about the user. The Jobs with Justice website may use cookies for measuring aggregate web statistics, including number of monthly visitors, number of repeat visitors, most popular webpages and other information. Jobs with Justice will also use cookies to facilitate your online visit by maintaining data that you provide for online activism activities so that you will not need to resubmit certain information. Jobs with Justice does not use cookies to track what specific pages an individual site visitor views.

Collection of Personally Identifiable Information Jobs with Justice provides web forms so you may engage in Jobs with Justice activities such as online activism (i.e., contact a CEO or elected official), to sign a JwJ pledge card, to place orders for products or services, to sign up to participate in a day of action, to correspond with Jobs with Justice, to donate to the Jobs with Justice Education Fund, and/or to submit a testimonial (i.e., share your story). The information we collect through these web forms, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, type of request you are making, is collected and stored by Jobs with Justice, or in the case of online donations, the information is collected by Convio, a third-party vendor that processes our online donations, and then shared with us. We do not, however, store your credit card information. The information that we store is used to fulfill your request, to track aggregate information about usage of these features, and to send you direct mailings, for which you may opt out. Jobs with Justice makes every effort to ensure the secure collection and transmission of your sensitive information using industry accepted data collection and encryption methodologies.

Financial Information and Payments Online donations are processed through Convio, a third-party vendor, using a secure server. Convio’s privacy policy is located at www.convio.com/convio/policies/. Although Convio shares with us the personally identifiable information that you submit when making an online donation, we do not receive your credit card number. If you send us a hard copy donation form, we shred your financial information after we process your donation. We retain your name and contact information, but not your financial information.

Jobs with Justice's Sharing of Personally Identifiable Information Jobs with Justice may exchange limited personally identifiable information (such as your name and contact information, but not your credit card information) with other progressive organizations, unless you notify us not to share your information. jwjnational@jwj.org Jobs with Justice will never post your personally identifiable information on our website without your prior consent.

SPECIAL NOTICE FOR PARENTS We want to help you guard your children's privacy. We encourage you to talk to your children about safe and responsible use of their personal information while using the Internet. Jobs with Justice does not knowingly collect, use or distribute to any third parties children's personally identifiable information. If you have any questions or concerns about your child's access to this site or the information that we may collect from your child’s use of the site, please contact us at jwjnational@jwj.org.

You may opt out of receiving future information via e-mail by using the unsubscribe procedure specified on the e-mail message or by sending an e-mail message specifying what you wish to unsubscribe to along with the name of the list you are a member of, if applicable, to: jwjnational@jwj.org .

Outside Links This site contains hypertext links to other sites. Jobs with Justice is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site, and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that they visit. This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by this website.

Security This site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to protect the transmission of information you submit to us when you use our secure online forms. You are on a secure page when the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer become locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just "surfing." All the information you provide us through these forms is stored securely off-line.

We use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, and we also protect user information off-line. All user information is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. All employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that store sensitive information are kept in a secure environment. Please recognize, however, that while we endeavor to maintain the security of sensitive information, we do not guarantee and cannot warrant that there will be no breaches in security.

If you send us an e-mail, you should know that e-mail is not necessarily secure against interception. So, if your communication includes sensitive information like your bank account, credit card number, or Social Security number, and you prefer not to use one of our secure online compliant forms, contact us by mail or by telephone rather than by e-mail.

Updating/Removing Personal Information If your personal information changes (such as your mailing address or email address), or if you wish to have your information removed from our database, contact us and we will correct, update or remove that information in our records.

Contact Us If you experience technical problems with the operation of this website or have any questions about the site or our privacy policy, contact us by e-mailing: jwjnational@jwj.org , or by sending a letter to the address specified below, or calling the telephone number specified below. If you contact us by mail or telephone, we may use the information you provide to us in the ways described in this privacy policy.
