Privacy Policy

ReformCIPA.com

This website or mobile application is operated by Reform CIPA. This privacy policy (“Policy”) explains how personal information is collected, used, and disclosed by Reform CIPA with respect to your use of the ReformCIPA.com website and other Reform CIPA websites that display this Policy (the “Sites”), so you can make an informed decision about using the Sites. This Policy also applies to personal information collected on other websites on our behalf by third-party vendors.

We reserve the right to change the provisions of this Policy at any time. We will alert you that changes have been made by indicating on the Policy the date it was last updated. We encourage you to review this Policy from time to time to ensure that you understand how any personal information you provide will be used.

What Is Personal Information?

As used herein, the term “personal information” means information that could be used to identify or contact an individual (such as a name, address, telephone number, mobile number, e-mail address, or credit card information) and information about that individual or his or her activities that is directly linked to personally identifiable information. Personal information does not include “aggregate” information, which is data we collect about the use of the Sites or about a group or category of services or users, from which individual identities or other personal information has been removed. This Policy in no way restricts or limits our collection and use of aggregate information.

What Personal Information Do We Collect?

Active Collection

Personal information may be collected in a number of ways when you visit our Sites. We collect certain information you voluntarily provide to us, such as when you make a donation, send us an email, sign up to receive email or text message updates, fill out a form, submit content, connect through a social feed, sign up to volunteer, host an event, or request information.

Such information may include personal information.

We may also collect demographic information you voluntarily provide from time to time, such as in response to questionnaires and surveys, including gender, ethnicity, education, and interest information. If this information is tied to personally identifiable information, it will be treated as personal information.

We may also obtain information from other sources and combine that with the information we collect on our Sites.

Passive Collection

When you use the Sites, some information may be passively collected, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system, browser type, referring website, and activity on our Sites, including but not limited to page views, button clicks, form fields, and similar activity.

If you access the Sites from a mobile device, we may also collect information about the type of mobile device you use, your device’s unique ID, the type of mobile Internet browser you use, and information about the location of your device.

For information about how to opt out of this data collection, see “What Choices Do You Have Regarding the Use of Your Information?” below.

Cookies and Web Beacons

We may automatically collect certain information through the use of cookies or web beacons. Cookies are small data files stored on your device at the request of a website. Cookies help us improve our Sites and your experience.

We treat information obtained from cookies and linked to personally identifying information as personal information. If you wish to block, erase, or receive warnings about cookies, please refer to your browser settings. Please note that if you block all cookies, this and other websites may not work properly.

Web beacons are small images that may be used on the Sites or in emails to collect information about usage and effectiveness and monitor user activity.

Sharing With Third Parties

We may use cookies, pixels, beacons, tags, or other technologies (including third-party technologies) to share information, including personal information, with third-party vendors (such as Google, Yahoo, or Meta) for the purpose of serving ads or delivering content on this or other websites based on your visits to this Site and other sites, and to provide analytics services. We encourage you to review these third parties’ privacy policies, which detail their use of cookies or other technologies and use of information shared under this Policy, which may differ from how Reform CIPA uses this technology or information.

These third parties may receive information about your visits to this and other websites, your IP address, your ISP, browser type, pages viewed, time spent, links clicked, and other website activity, as well as conversion data.

Information shared may be used by Reform CIPA or third parties to analyze and track data, solicit donations, deliver advertising or content, including to target and deliver personalized advertising, and better understand and measure website usage.

In some cases, third-party vendors may collect personal information from you on other websites and provide it to us, or Reform CIPA may collect personal information through digital advertising tools. This Policy applies to such personal information collected online and it will be treated in the same manner as information collected directly on our Sites.
