We use the term “Personal Information” to refer to any information by which you can be personally identified. Personal Information may include contact details such as your full name, email address and postal code and unique identifiers such as your IP address, as well as other personally identifying information that you submit to us voluntarily.

 

We obtain Personal Information from you when you submit it to us or provide it on this Website in order to allow you to subscribe for periodic news updates related to the information provided on this Website (the “Content”). You may also email us with a question or for more information and we will use your contact information (which includes Personal Information such as an email address) to help us respond to your inquiries. If you provide or submit your Personal Information to this Website, we will give you the right to correct your provided information or to request that it be deleted, as well as the right to opt-out of any communications from us.

 

OUR POLICY ON COOKIES

 

When you access or visit this Website, we and our operational service providers use technology that can recognize, collect and/or transmit information that is associated with you, but which do not personally identify you. This includes the use of cookies, which are unique identifiers that we transfer to your device to allow you to more efficiently navigate our Website. For more information on cookies in general, including how to manage and delete them, visit https://aboutcookies.org/ or www.allaboutcookies.org/.

 

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

 

We only use the information that we collect or obtain when you use this Website, to enable us to respond to email inquiries, to send out periodic notifications related to our Content, to aid in efficient navigation of the Website, to assist in our internal research purposes and to ensure compliance with our Terms of Use.

 

OUR POLICY ON THIRD PARTY CONTENT

 

This Website may contain or display content from our affiliates, sponsors or operational service providers (each, a “Third Party”) that links or redirects your browser to other websites, materials or organizations. Third Parties often also employ cookies to measure advertising effectiveness. You should be aware that even if you encounter an advertisement, link or reference to a Third Party website on this Website and even if we have a relationship with them, we do not control them, their websites or their policies and practices regarding the use of their websites or any rules they have regarding the use of cookies or collection, use or disclosure of your information (including Personal Information). These are within their control and not ours, and the terms and conditions, as well as the privacy policies that apply to these Third Parties and their websites, are their responsibility, not ours.

 

OUR POLICY ON DISCLOSURE TO THIRD PARTIES

 

We do not disclose your Personal Information to unaffiliated entities unless required by law or regulation or as otherwise described herein. Note that certain identifying information may be indirectly shared with third-party content providers through the use of cookies.

 

We may disclose your Personal Information to our affiliates, our lawyers and certain service providers we engage for the purpose of administering, operating, configuring site design, maintaining and providing internal support for this Website and Content on this Website. We request that these Third Parties protect your privacy and not disclose your Personal Information to third parties, nor are they permitted to use your Personal Information for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

 

We also reserve the right to make your Personal Information available:

 

If we believe you are, or have been, in violation of any law, regulation or our Terms of Use; If we believe you are or may be a threat to safety, property, interests or rights of us or others;

 

In order to investigate, respond to or resolve problems or inquiries or defend our interests.

 

You should also be aware that we are a public service organization and simply because a website or web page includes our logo, name or otherwise refers to us, does not mean the website or web page is ours or under our control. We work with sponsors and government agencies to bring you public service advertising, and if you enter, provide or submit Personal Information on or to a co-branded website or web page you may be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Third Party sponsor, government agency or co-branding organization.

 

YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING PERSONAL INFORMATION

 

You have the right to request that: (i) we correct or update your Personal Information; or (ii) we remove or delete your Personal Information. All such inquiries should be sent to Info@FuturesWithoutViolence.org.

 

OUR SECURITY POLICY

 

We maintain reasonable standards of security and confidentiality. We aim to limit information access to individuals who need to have such access to perform their responsibilities associated with this Website and the Content on this Website. We request that our operational service providers follow the same policy. However, communications over the Internet cannot be guaranteed to be secure, and it is possible that others may unlawfully intercept or access information, transmissions or communications to, from or within this Website.

 

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

 

If you are a resident of the State of California, California law provides you with additional rights regarding our use of your personal information, including the right to request information on how to exercise your disclosure choice options from companies conducting business in California. For more information, visit https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa.

 

We do not track our visitors over time and across third-party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals from website browsers. However, some third-party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you.

 

Our contact information can be found below under “Our Contact Information”. We will not accept requests via the telephone or by facsimile, and we are not responsible for requests that are not labeled, are not sent properly, or that do not have complete information.

 

OUR POLICY TOWARDS EUROPEAN UNION RESIDENTS

 

We do not offer or intend to offer any services in the European Union or to European Union residents at this time, and this website is intended only for visitors from outside of the European Union.

 

OUR POLICY TOWARDS CHILDREN

 

This Website is intended for a general and adult audience and we do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Information from children, including anyone under the age of 13, without parental consent. We ask that you not provide personally identifiable information to us if you are under the age of 13. We urge parents and guardians to supervise their children’s website browsing. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from an individual under the age of 13, we will delete that information.

 

CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY

 

We can change this Privacy Policy at any time. As with our Terms of Use, we encourage you to come back and review this Privacy Policy often to be sure you are aware of the terms, conditions, rights and obligations that apply to you.
