Privacy policy

Her Justice, Inc. (“Her Justice”) places a premium on the protection of personally identifiable information (“PII”) that you provide to us. Her Justice has created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to any PII you supply to Her Justice through the www.herjustice.org web site (the “Site”).

1. The type of PII we collect
Her Justice may collect your name, e-mail address and other PII if you voluntarily submit such information by filling out a web form or sending us an email through our Site. We may also collect PII when you choose to join Her Justice’s Online Community.

2. How we use your information
If you have requested that we contact you, the PII you provide to Her Justice through the Site may be used to contact you with information in response to your request, including information regarding (i) training and service opportunities for volunteers; (ii) basic information regarding resources, referrals and eligibility information for those requiring assistance; (iii) ways contributors can assist Her Justice with financial resources; or (iv) other information responsive to your request. Her Justice will not use your PII to contact you unless you have requested that we do so.

We do not collect PII about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such information to us. Providing such information is strictly voluntary. This policy is your guide to how we will handle information we learn about you from your visit to our Site.

• Online profile updates and donations
  If you complete the Profile Update Form and share your PII, this information will be used only to provide you with more targeted content. We may use your contact information to send further information about our organization or to contact you when necessary. You may always opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the "Opt Out" section below.

• Sending us an email
  You also may decide to send us PII, for example, in an electronic mail message containing a question or comment, or by filling out a web form that provides us this information. We use PII from email primarily to respond to your requests. We may forward your email to other Her Justice employees who are best qualified to answer your questions. We may also use your email to contact you in the future about our programs that may be of interest.
  
  We want to be very clear: we will not obtain PII about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such information to us. Providing such information is strictly voluntary. Except as might be required by law, we do not share any information we receive with any outside parties. If you sign up for one of our email lists, we will only send you the kinds of information you request.

• Opt-out or change your contact information
  Our site provides Members who join our Online Community the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from us through a special online form. Online Community Members may choose to receive only specific communications or none at all. Members may also update their contact information previously provided to us through another online form. As an Online Community Member, you can not remove yourself from our database, but you can prevent unwanted communications from our organization.

• User statistics
  Her Justice may aggregate user statistics (for example, "90% of our users are female") and disclose such aggregated user statistics to prospective donors, volunteers and other third parties in order to describe the services provided by Her Justice, and for other lawful purposes. Your identity will not be disclosed by these aggregated user statistics.

We will not use, disclose, share, sell, rent or lease your PII to any third party, unless approved by you, or in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violation of the Site’s Terms of Use or as otherwise required by law. The law requires that we may have to share your PII and other information pursuant to judicial or governmental subpoenas, warrants or orders. If we are required to do so, we will, of course, obey the law. If Her Justice should merge with another entity, we may share your PII with such party. We will not use or disclose your PII other than for the purposes described herein without first obtaining your consent for such use or disclosure.

3. Third party web sites
This Site contains links to other web sites. Links to third party web sites on this Site are provided solely as a convenience to you. When you enter these external web sites using links from this Site, you are entering a web site for which Her Justice has no responsibility and to which this Privacy Policy does not apply. We do not control these other external web sites and cannot guarantee their practices regarding data privacy and security. We do not endorse or make any representations about these other web sites, or any information, software or other products or materials found there, or any results that may be obtained from using them. If you decide to access any of the third party web sites linked to the Site, we recommend that you read the privacy policies of those web sites, which may differ from the Privacy Policy of this Site.

4. Our commitment to data security
In an effort to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of PII, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. Access to your PII is restricted: only authorized employees and volunteers of Her Justice who need the information to perform a specific job or task, and, where necessary, authorized third parties that maintain physical, electronic and administrative controls to safeguard PII, are granted access. Our employees and volunteers are aware of the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of your PII. In addition, the servers on which we store your PII are kept in a reasonably secure environment. Please note that, although we strive to protect your PII from unauthorized disclosure, Her Justice cannot guarantee or warrant that your PII will never be disclosed in a manner inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

5. Your access
You have a right to request, at any time, a copy of the PII we have regarding you and to have any inaccuracies corrected. You can request this PII by any of the means listed in the “How to contact us” section below.

6. Enforcement of this policy
If you have a complaint regarding Her Justice’s handling of your PII, you may communicate your complaint to Her Justice by any of the means listed in the “How to contact us” section below. Her Justice will attempt to resolve the complaint to your satisfaction and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
