This Privacy Policy sets forth the practices in effect at East Bay Community Law Center to protect the privacy of its website visitors, financial supporters, clients and prospective clients. This Policy also outlines how you can update your personal information or receive additional information.
HOW EBCLC PROTECTS YOUR INFORMATION
EBCLC uses electronic security systems to protect any records containing personal identifying information and limits the number of people who have access to such information. Business partners with whom EBCLC may share personal information during the course of usual business must abide by confidentiality agreements, which forbid the disclosure of any personal identifying information to additional parties.
Online Giving
EBCLC's online donation process occurs in a secure portion of our partner's website. Submissions are encrypted and secure from outside users via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, the industry standard for secure online transactions. All personal information — including credit card number, name, and address — is encrypted so it cannot be read as it travels over the Internet.
Websites
EBCLC wants you to have positive experiences at its website and to understand your privacy rights while on its site. If you do not agree with the terms outlined below, please do not access EBCLC's website.
Non-Personal Identifying Information
EBCLC collects and uses non-personal identifying information, including IP addresses and web server log files. It also uses "cookies," small pieces of information used to identify individual computers accessing a website.
EBCLC uses this information only in the aggregate. It does not combine non-personal identifying information with personal identifying information, commonly known as "online profiling." At no time is personal information stored in a cookie.
EBCLC collects non-personal identifying information from websites in the aggregate. It uses this information to assess aggregate visitor volume and interest, i.e. which site pages are being visited most frequently.
EBCLC might share aggregated, non-identifying, demographic information about the websites usage with its supporters and partners. For example, EBCLC might disclose to its donors that 100,000 people visited ebclc.org in a given year.
Personal Identifying Information
If you voluntarily provide personal identifying information (such as a first and last name, physical address including a street name, e-mail address, etc.) through online forms, EBCLC will collect and retain this information.
The personal identifying information will be used to establish the identity of account holders in order to respond to inquiries or to deliver requested information or services. For example, if you subscribe to one of EBCLC's e-newsletters, EBCLC may store your name and e-mail address and send the requested e-newsletters to the e-mail address.
EBCLC does not make personal identifying information gathered on its websites available to other organizations, but may share information with business partners, in the usual course of business. For example, EBCLC may use a third-party vendor to electronically distribute its e-newsletters. In order to send the e-newsletters, EBCLC must share the e-mail address of subscribers with the vendor. Vendors that provide such services are obligated only to use this information for the purposes for which EBCLC directs them to use it, namely, providing services directly for the Center.
Links
This policy applies only to the ebclc.org domain. EBCLC does not control the privacy policies of other websites to which this website might link.
Donors
The East Bay Community Law Center is committed to maintaining the confidence and trust of its financial supporters.
EBCLC collects the personal information that supporters provide. After someone donates to EBCLC, his or her information is added to EBCLC's donor list. EBCLC uses this information to keep donors informed about the progress of its programs through print and online mailings and to encourage donors' continued financial support of its work.
EBCLC shares donor information with business partners as required in the usual course of business. For example, EBCLC may use a vendor to assist in the generation and distribution of written communications to donors. Vendors that provide such services are obligated only to use this information for the purposes for which EBCLC directs them to use it, namely, providing services directly for the Center.
EBCLC makes its donor list available through publication of its Annual Report. If you are an EBCLC supporter and do not want your information used in this way, simply send a request that your donation be listed anonymously by emailing our Development Director, Jonathon Marley.
How To Update Your Information
EBCLC alumni and donors are invited to update their records by sending an email our Development Director, Jonathon Marley, preferably with "NEW CONTACT INFO" in the subject line.
Recipients of our e-newsletter who wish to discontinue delivery may do so by sending an email to Development Associate Michelle Shin, preferably with "UNSUBSCRIBE" in the subject line.
