PRIVACY POLICY

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect information you provide directly, including your name and email address when you sign up for updates, join the League, take action, or contact us. We may also collect your zip code or city to connect you with local organizing and advocacy opportunities.

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect technical information such as your browser type, IP address, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This helps us understand how people use our site and improve the experience.

We do not collect financial information directly — any contributions are processed through secure third-party payment processors who have their own privacy policies.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use your information to send you updates, action alerts, and organizing opportunities you have signed up for. We use it to process actions you take on the site, including petitions, advocacy campaigns, and event registrations.

We use aggregate technical data to improve our website and measure the impact of our campaigns. We may use your location to show you relevant local events, campaigns, or elected officials.

We will never use your information to send you unrelated commercial marketing.

HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.

We may share your information with trusted service providers who help us operate the website and send communications — such as email platforms and event tools — under confidentiality agreements.

If you take a specific action on our site (such as contacting an elected official), your name and contact information may be transmitted to that official's office as part of the advocacy action.

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our organization or others.

COOKIES AND TRACKING

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your experience and understand how the site is used. Cookies are small files stored in your browser.

We use session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain for a set period) for site functionality and analytics.

You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the site.

We may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to understand aggregate site usage. These tools collect information in a form that does not personally identify you.

DATA RETENTION

We retain your information for as long as needed to provide the services you have requested and to comply with legal obligations. If you unsubscribe from communications, we remove you from active mailing lists, though we may retain a suppression record to honor your preference.

You may request deletion of your personal information at any time by contacting us.

YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. You may opt out of email communications at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email we send.

California residents have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we have collected and the right to request deletion.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@advocacyleague.org.

DATA SECURITY

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Our services are not directed to children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.
