Website Privacy Policy

We are committed to protecting your privacy. To make your experience at our website more convenient, we gather information from you. We maintain the privacy of your information using security technologies and adhere to policies that prevent unauthorized use of your personal information.

What personal information do we collect, and how is it used?

We collect information on which portions of our website visitors access or visit. We also collect information volunteered by visitors, such as survey information and/or event registrations. Any personal information we collect is confidential and is either discarded or used by us to contact users for purposes such as those described below.

When we do collect personally identifiable information, it is always voluntarily submitted by you (e.g., when you fill out a survey, send us feedback, or sign up for an email list). If you would like to be removed from our email list, you can unsubscribe by clicking the link contained at the bottom of the email or by contacting us at development@callen-lorde.org.

We may also monitor and track information such as user patterns of our website. We compile this information into a statistical aggregate which we use for internal business and administrative purposes including improving our website, our operations, and our services.

Protecting your privacy

As part of our commitment to ensuring the privacy of our users, we do not sell or exchange names or any other personally identifiable information collected through our website. We keep confidential any personal information entered, though we may share aggregate information about website usage and traffic patterns, stripped of any personally identifiable information, to third parties to comply with various reporting obligations and for business or marketing purposes. We may also share limited personally identifiable information with third parties on a confidential basis to enable a third party to perform certain tasks, such as maintain an email list or send email alerts and/or newsletters, on our behalf.  Callen-Lorde also maintains reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal data from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.
