Privacy Policy

PRIVACY POLICY
We at the Access Now respect your concerns about privacy and value the relationship we have with you. This Privacy Notice describes the types of personal information we collect on our website, how we may use that information, and with whom we may share it. Our Privacy Notice also describes the measures we take to protect the security of the information. In addition, we describe the choices you can make about how we use the information you provide to us. We also tell you how you can reach us to update your contact information, remove your name from our mailing lists, or answer any questions you may have about our privacy practices.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT
You may choose to provide personal information (such as your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address) on this website. Here are the ways you may provide the information and the types of information you may submit. We also tell you how we may use the information.
• E-mail Communications
When you ask us to send you e-mail such as our free e-mail newsletter, you may provide us with certain information like your e mail address so we can fulfill your request. You may choose to provide additional information as well, such as your postal address and phone number.
• Donations
When you make a donation through our website, we may ask you to submit certain personal information (such as credit card information) so we can process your donation. We use the credit card information you provide only to fulfill the transaction you requested. We maintain that information in our customer service records in the event you choose to make another donation later. We also maintain your contact information in our records so we can contact you to provide Access Now program information and information on additional giving opportunities.
• Contact Access Now
You may choose to contact us through our website. We provide online forms so you may, for example, (1) ask a question, (2) update your address or (3) request more information. We use the information you provide on these forms to fulfill your request. We use the information you provide to respond to your inquiries.

INFORMATION WE SHARE
Access Now does not sell, rent, trade or otherwise disclose personal information about our website visitors, except as described here. We share information provided by our website visitors with service providers we have retained to perform services on our behalf for example, to process donations. These service providers are not authorized by us to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. In addition, we may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law, (ii) in response to a request from law enforcement authorities or other government officials, or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES
Occasionally we provide links to other websites for your convenience and information. These sites operate independently from our site and are not under our control. These sites may have their own privacy notices in place, which we strongly suggest you review if you visit any linked websites. We are not responsible for the content of these sites, any products or services that may be offered through these sites, or any other use of these sites.

SECURITY
We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized disclosure, use, alteration or destruction of the personal information in our possession. When you provide credit card information to make a donation, we use the industry standard for Internet security—Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology —to help protect the information you provide. This Internet encryption standard scrambles data as it travels from your computer to our server. Please note, however, that perfect security does not exist on the Internet. You’ll know that you’re in a secure area of our website when a “lock” icon appears on your screen and the “http” portion of our URL address changes to “https.” The “s” stands for “secure.”

If you would like to update your contact information or prefer not to receive certain communications from us (such as e-mail), please call or write us using one of the options provided below or e-mail us at AccessNow@ramdocs.org

UPDATES TO THIS PRIVACY NOTICE
We may change or update portions of this Privacy Notice at any time and without prior notice to you. Please check back from time to time so you are aware of any changes or updates to the Notice. We will indicate below the effective date of the Notice.
