Privacy Policy

Your Privacy Matters

At Social Justice and Small Persons’ Rights, we believe privacy is part of dignity. This Privacy Policy explains what
personal data we collect, how we use it to support our nonprofit advocacy work, and the steps we take to protect it. We aim to be
transparent, accessible, and respectful—especially for people personally affected by discrimination or accessibility barriers, and for
allies seeking reliable information and meaningful ways to take action.

This policy applies to our website, newsletters, donation and advocacy tools, and related online services (collectively, the “Site”).
By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

We collect only the information we need to publish content, build community, and run effective social justice campaigns. The types of
information may include:

Information you provide directly

  • Contact details (such as name, email address, phone number, mailing address) when you sign up for email newsletters,
    events, updates, or volunteer opportunities.
  • Donation information (such as donation amount, date, and confirmation details). Payment processing is typically handled
    by trusted third-party providers; we do not intentionally store full payment card numbers on our servers.
  • Advocacy and campaign actions (such as petition signatures, letter-to-a-decision-maker submissions, RSVP details, and
    issue interests) when you take action on the Site.
  • Messages and support requests you send to us (for example, through contact forms or email), which may include information
    you choose to share about your experience or needs.
  • Optional profile information if you create an account (where available), such as preferred name or communication preferences.

Information collected automatically

  • Device and usage data such as IP address, browser type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, and approximate
    location derived from IP address.
  • Cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, improve performance, and measure engagement with our content and
    campaigns. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

Sensitive information

Because our work focuses on discrimination, accessibility, and civil rights, some visitors may choose to share sensitive personal information
(for example, details about disability, discrimination experiences, or accessibility barriers). Please share only what you are comfortable
providing. Where practical, we minimize collection and use of sensitive information and apply additional safeguards.

How We Use Your Information

We use personal data to operate our nonprofit, improve our educational resources, and advance our advocacy mission. Common uses include:

  • Sending email newsletters, campaign alerts, and updates you opt in to receive.
  • Processing donations, issuing receipts, and maintaining required financial records.
  • Facilitating petitions, public comments, and outreach to policymakers when you request it.
  • Responding to questions, requests, and accessibility-related feedback.
  • Improving website performance, content quality, and user experience through analytics.
  • Protecting the Site, preventing fraud, and maintaining security and integrity.
  • Complying with legal obligations and enforcing our terms and policies.

We do not sell your personal information.

Depending on your location, we process personal data based on one or more of the following:

  • Consent (for example, when you subscribe to email updates).
  • Legitimate interests (such as improving our services, measuring engagement, and supporting our advocacy work).
  • Contractual necessity (such as processing a donation or event registration you request).
  • Legal obligation (such as financial recordkeeping or responding to lawful requests).

How We Share Information

We share information only as needed to run the Site, deliver services you request, and support our campaigns. We may share personal data with:

  • Service providers who help us operate (such as email newsletter platforms, website hosting, analytics tools, donation
    processors, and event registration services). These providers are expected to handle data securely and only for our instructions.
  • Advocacy partners when you choose to participate in a coalition campaign, petition, or coordinated outreach—where the
    action clearly indicates your intent. When feasible, we describe what will be shared at the point of action.
  • Legal and safety disclosures if required to comply with law, protect rights and safety, investigate misuse, or defend
    against legal claims.

If we ever consider a major change in how information is shared (for example, a new vendor category with broader access), we will update this
policy and, when appropriate, provide notice through the Site or email.

Cookies, Analytics & Interest Data

We may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the Site reliable and accessible, understand which educational resources are most helpful,
and improve our advocacy content for organic search and social sharing.

  • Essential cookies support core site functions (such as security and basic preferences).
  • Analytics cookies help us understand traffic and page performance so we can improve content and navigation.
  • Preference cookies remember settings (for example, language or accessibility preferences where available).

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how well the Site functions.

Email Newsletters & Communication Preferences

If you subscribe to our email list, we may send newsletters, campaign updates, donation appeals, event announcements, and educational content
related to social justice, accessibility, anti-discrimination efforts, and small persons’ rights.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in our emails. You may also contact us to update your preferences, correct your information,
or request removal from specific lists.

How We Protect Your Data

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or
alteration. These safeguards may include access controls, encryption in transit where supported, secure vendor selection, and limited internal
access on a need-to-know basis.

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us promptly so we can
investigate and respond.

Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including maintaining nonprofit operational records,
fulfilling your requests, complying with legal obligations, and resolving disputes. Retention periods vary based on the type of data and how it
is used.

Your Privacy Rights & Choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
  • Request deletion of your personal data (subject to legal and operational limitations).
  • Object to or restrict certain processing.
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
  • Request a copy of your data in a portable format where required.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below. We may need to verify your identity before
completing certain requests.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from
children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us so we can address it.

Our Site may link to third-party websites or tools (including social media platforms such as Facebook, X, and LinkedIn) to help share campaigns
and educational resources. Your interactions with those services are governed by their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review those
policies before providing personal data on third-party sites.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect improvements to our services, legal requirements, or operational changes. When
we update it, we will revise the “Last updated” date below and post the updated version on this page.
