PRIVACY
POLICY
This privacy policy applies to information
collected on this For People of Color, Inc. website
(www.forpeopleofcolor.org). This policy does not apply to information
we may collect in other forums, including through emails or off line.
For
People of Color, Inc. (“FPOC”) will not sell the
information you provide to any third parties. FPOC, however, may use
this information to conduct empirical analysis and studies, which may
be published and made available to third parties or the public.
However, FPOC will not share, or publish studies which rely on, this
information in a manner that identifies the user (full or partial name)
to the data points they provide (e.g. race, gender, LGBT status,
occupation). In other words, FPOC may use the information provided, but
will disassociate the particular user’s identity from the
other information they provide. You agree to provide this personal
information as valuable consideration for receiving our publications,
videos, and other information at no charge.
Certain
features on our site may request personally identifiable data from you
("Personal Information"), which may include your name, e-mail address,
company name, or other personal information such as your address,
telephone number, gender, race, and educational background. In
addition, our web server automatically stores your IP address and your
domain (where possible) when you log onto our site; the e-mail
addresses of those who sign up to access our guides; the e-mail
addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail; and aggregate
information about what pages on our site you visit or access.
We
use the information you submit as described on our site, to respond to
your request, or to otherwise help us in processing your request. For
example, in the "guide to the law school application process for people
of color" page, we use your email address to allow to send you links to
download our guides. We also use the information you submit for other
business purposes, including, from time to time, using your email
address to send you information about developments or events or
scholarship information in which we believe you may be interested, or
to let you know when information which may interest you has been posted
to the site. Personal Information is used by FPOC to assist in serving
you more effectively, to improve the content of our Web site, and to
maintain e-mailing lists of communicating with subscribers.
FPOC
is not in the business of sharing your Personal Information with third
parties. In certain circumstances, however, we may share your
information with third parties, including if we believe we are legally
obligated to disclose information to the government or third parties,
where we are working with a vendor or business associate who is
performing functions on our behalf, or if we are jointly providing
services with a business partner. In the unlikely event that FPOC needs
to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, FPOC may
disclose any information about you to government officials as permitted
by applicable law.
FPOC
uses standard security measures, provided and developed by our web
hosting service, to protect information submitted on this site. We
cannot guarantee, however, that our standard measures will not prevent
a third party from circumventing our or our web hosting
service’s security measures and unlawfully intercept or
access transmissions or private communications, or where an error may
occur in the administration of the FPOC site.
At
any time you may request to correct your Personal Information or
request that FPOC delete your Personal Information and no longer
contact you either by e-mail, telephone, regular mail, or by any other
means. To make any request described above, send an email to
info@forpeopleofcolor.org. When contacting us, please be sure to
provide us with your exact e-mail address, name, address and/or
telephone number(s) in order to be sure we handle your request
correctly.
While
the FPOC site does provide a hyper links to third parties’
sites, FPOC is not responsible for the privacy practices of these
sites, and encourages you to read the site's privacy policy before
submitting any personally identifiable information.
By
using this site, you are agreeing to the terms set forth in
FPOC’s Privacy Policy. FPOC reserves the right, at its
discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this policy
at any time. If FPOC changes its privacy policy it will post the
updated version of that policy here. Please check this page
periodically for changes. Your continued use of this site following the
posting of changes to this policy will mean that you accept those
changes.
