Healthy Democracy places a high priority on protecting your privacy. This policy explains what types of information are collected by Healthy Democracy and how this information is used.

What Personally Identifiable Information is Collected
Individuals who sign up to receive Healthy Democracy communications voluntarily provide us with Contact Information (such as name, email address, mailing address, and/or phone number). We may use this information for specific, limited purposes. You may always “opt out,” either now or at any time in the future, if you do not wish to receive our messages by contacting us at info@healthydemocracy.org.

IP Addresses
Healthy Democracy uses your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer healthydemocracy.org, and for statistical metrics used to track website visitor traffic.

Cookies
healthydemocracy.org uses “cookie” messages to automatically help provide better services. They remind us who you are and your preferences for our website based on what you’ve done and told us before. The “cookie” is placed in your computer and is read when you come back to our website. Cookies let us take you to the information and features you’re particularly interested in. They also let us track your usage of healthydemocracy.org, so we know which parts of our sites are most popular. You can reject cookies or cancel them by instructing your Web browser accordingly.

How Your Information May Be Used
We use your personal information to provide you with personalized service; to send email or SMS alerts to you; to send mail to you; to answer your requests; to process event registrations; to process donations; etc. You may choose to opt out at any time, which will cease all communications from us.

We may also use your information to track visits of our website. This lets us see which of our features are the most popular so we can better serve our users’ needs. It also lets us provide aggregate data about our traffic (not identifying you personally, but showing how many visitors used which features, for example) to outside parties.

Sharing of Contact Information
Healthy Democracy will not provide, sell, or rent your Contact Information to anyone outside the organization without express written opt-in consent for such purposes by you, or under the following specific exceptions:

Sharing of Phone Numbers with Third Party SMS Messaging Service Providers
We may share your phone number with third parties that help us provide SMS messaging services, including, but not limited to, platform providers, phone companies, and other vendors who assist us in the delivery of text messages. If you opt-in to an SMS short-code campaign, we will not share your opt-in with any third party for purposes unrelated to supporting you in connection with that campaign.
