COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information
Certain non-personal information about Website visits may be recorded by the standard operation of the Internet servers on which the Website is hosted and/or the servers of various third-party Service Providers. The non-personal information that we collect may include IP addresses, the type of operating system in use (e.g., Macintosh or Windows), the type of browser being used by the visitor (e.g., Netscape or Internet Explorer), the number and frequency of visitors to the Website, and the site the visitor was on immediately before visiting the Website.
When you view the Website or use website features, we may collect certain non-personal information from you by using small text files known as cookies. We use cookies for several purposes, such as to recognize visitors to our Website, to determine the number of unique visitors to our Website, to ascertain which Website pages they visit, and to conduct internal reviews of the Website. We may associate information we collect via cookies with the personal information we collect online (we explain the personal information we collect online in the “Collection of Personal Information” section of this Privacy Policy below). We may use the combined information to personalize your experience on the Website, to personalize communications we may send to you, and in general, to further ACANI’s mission. You are always free to decline cookies, but in doing so you may not be able to use certain features on the Website. The “help” segment of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to configure your browser to not accept new cookies, how to have the browser inform you when you receive a new cookie, and how to erase cookies from your hard drive.
We may also use web beacons to count page visits by our users, to access our cookies, and otherwise to improve your experience on the Website. Data generated by web beacons is non-personal information, but we may associate such data with the personal information we collect online. If you have registered to receive emails from us, we may also use web beacons in our emails to let us know which emails you have opened and acted upon, allowing us to gauge the effectiveness of our communications and marketing campaigns. If you would like to opt-out of these emails, please follow the instructions in the email.
Our website uses Google Analytics and its display advertising features, a service which transmits website traffic data to Google servers in the United States. Google Analytics does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. We use reports provided by Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and webpage usage. If you would like to opt-out of Google Analytics for display advertising you may do so by using the Ads Preferences Manager.
Collection of Personal Information
We collect personal information (such as first and last name, gender, home or other physical address, e-mail address, phone number) when you voluntarily submit it to us, such as when you sign a petition, open an account, make a donation, or register for an event. We also collect personal information about others if you provide it to us through our Website; for example, by participating in our counter-extremism programs. Personal information is stored on the servers of various third-party Service Providers.
Use of Personal Information
ACANI or Service Providers acting on its behalf may use information collected from Website visitors to generally fulfill the counter-extremism mission of our organization and manage your online interaction with ACANI. For example, we will use information collected from the Website: (1) to send communications to our visitors; (2) to allow us to notify visitors of upcoming events or activities on the Website; (3) to conduct internal reviews of the Website (e.g., to determine the number of visitors to the Website); (4) to help us better understand visitors’ use of the Website; (5) to respond to specific requests from our visitors; (6) to provide any necessary notices to our visitors; (7) administer the Website; (8) to protect the security or integrity of our site; and (9) to make the disclosures described below. To opt out of emails, please follow the instructions in the email message.
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
ACANI may transfer or otherwise disclose the information it collects from Website visitors to employees and Service Providers of ACANI, its subsidiaries and affiliates if the disclosure will enable that party to perform a business, professional, or technical support function for ACANI, will further our counter-extremism mission, or if required to do so by law. We may also transfer or otherwise disclose personal information in response to judicial process, to comply with legal requirements, and, as permitted under applicable law, to provide information to government agencies or in connection with an investigation on a matter related to public safety. We may also use your information as permitted by law to protect our rights or property, the Website, or its users. And, we may disclose your personal information to the purchaser, transferee or assignee (or prospective purchaser, transferee or assignee) of any business or asset which ACANI is (or is contemplating) selling or transferring.
Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, ACANI will not sell, rent or otherwise disclose your personal information to any third party for the purpose of direct marketing.
SECURITY OF INFORMATION
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your personal information, and will take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information. Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet. Further, information that we collect may be stored and processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which we operate in order to enable us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Information you provide may be transferred to countries which do not have data protection laws equivalent to those in force in the United States. Nevertheless, you expressly agree to such transfers of personal information.
