Privacy Policy

Our Commitment To Privacy

This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the Friends of Eric Olson website.

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.

The Way We Use Information

We will never share, sell, or rent individual personal information with anyone without your advance permission or unless ordered by a court of law. Information submitted to us is only available to staff managing this information for purposes of contacting you or sending you emails based on your request for information and to contracted service providers for purposes of providing services relating to our interactions with you.

The Information We Collect

For the purposes of this privacy policy, we collect two distinct types of information:

The first type of data we collect is information that you provide to us when requesting some type of service, transaction or information. For instance, on some pages, you can donate, volunteer, make requests, and register to receive additional materials. The types of personal information collected at these pages are:

Name
Address
Email address
Phone number
Credit/Debit Card Information (donations only)
Date of request/transaction

We use the information you provide about yourself when requesting some type of service, transaction or information only to complete that request. We do not share this information with outside parties except when required by law, as is the case with campaign finance disclosures.

The second type of data we collect is generic usage data, such as the web server usage logs that we use to help figure out what pages people are interested in, and how we can serve our visitors better. The types of information are never tied to the personal information referenced previously, and are only used as aggregate data. The types of anonymus user information collected by our server are:

Page visited
Browser used
Operating system used
Date of request
IP Address
Any error code that is generated

We use this non-identifying and aggregate information for internal purposes only, such as to better design our website. This usage data is never tied to the specific personal information.

Email Privacy Policy

If you received a mailing from us, (a) your email address is either listed with us as someone who has expressly shared this address for the purpose of receiving information in the future ("opt-in"), or (b) you have registered or donated or otherwise have an existing relationship with us. We respect your time and attention by controlling the frequency of our mailings.

Stop Receiving Email from Us

Each email sent contains an easy, automated way for you to cease receiving email from us, or to change your expressed interests. If you wish to do this, simply follow the instructions at the end of any email. If you have received unwanted, unsolicited email sent via this system or purporting to be sent via this system, please forward a copy of that email with your comments to abuse@constantcontact.com for review.

Our Commitment To Data Security

To protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of data used by our system as well as to prevent unauthorized access and maintain data accuracy, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

Our Commitment To Children's Privacy

Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.

How To Contact Us

Should you have other questions or concerns about these privacy policies, or the accuracy of the data described above, please contact us according to the information specified on our contact us page.
