It does not apply to information collected by:

Normal Website Usage

You can visit most portions of JusticeMatters’ website without telling us who you are and without revealing any personal information. The only information we may collect from a normal website visit is the name of your Internet service provider, the browser and type of machine you are using, the website that referred you to us, the pages you request, and the date and time of those requests.

We use this information to generate statistics and measure site activity to improve the usefulness of the site to our visitors. During a normal website visit, we do not collect or store personally identifiable information such as name, mailing address, email address, phone number, or social security number of the visitor.

We collect the IP addresses of visitors, time of access, browser type, and web pages visited. We collect this information on an aggregate basis only. For example, we may track which pages are most popular among visitors as a whole. This information is used for internal review only and not shared with third parties. We do not track which pages an individual visitor might look at during a visit to our site. We do not collect any other information without the visitor’s knowledge and permission.

Collection of Personally Identifiable Information

There are instances when JusticeMatters requests personally identifiable information to provide you with services or correspondence (such as donations, intake, or general information requests). This information, such as name, mailing address, email address, type of request, and possibly additional information, is collected and stored by JusticeMatters in a manner appropriate to the nature of the data and is used to fulfill your request. Personally identifiable information that you enter into the website, fill out on any form on our website, or provide to us via phone will not be given to any external party or organization without your consent, unless the disclosure is permitted by the NC Rules of Professional Conduct. JusticeMatters makes every effort to ensure the secure collection and transmission of sensitive user information using industry accepted data collection and encryption methodologies such as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). The information you provide is used by JusticeMatters to improve the quality of our services.

JusticeMatters does not sell, rent, or exchange email addresses or any financial information you may enter into the site to partners.

Some of the functions of our site require registration or personal information (such as name and email address). We use this information to track the usage of these features. Users may opt out of receiving future mailings. Financial information collected on the website is used only for its intended purpose, specifically for charitable donations to JusticeMatters.

JusticeMatters will not post personal contact information, including email address, street address and phone numbers, without that individual’s consent.
