ELAW General Privacy Statement

Effective September 19, 2011

This privacy statement discloses the privacy practices for public, unauthenticated access to www.elaw.org.

Notification of Changes

We will periodically update this privacy statement.  The most current version of our privacy statement will always be posted on our website (www.elaw.org). 

Information Collection and Use

The Environmental Law Alliance Worldwide (ELAW) is the sole owner of the information collected on this website.  We do not sell, share, or rent this information to others.

This website contains links to other websites.  Please be aware that ELAW is not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites.  We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information.  This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this website.

Subscription to ELAW Email and Print Publications

In order to subscribe to ELAW email and print publications through this website, a user must provide contact information (like name, email address and/or mailing address).  This information is used to fill users' subscription requests.  If we have trouble processing a request, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user.

All new users subscribing to our email and print publications via this website are prompted to complete a survey about their interests.  Participation in this survey is completely voluntary and users may choose whether to participate and therefore disclose this information.  In no way does participation affect a user’s ability to receive email or print publications.

Correction/Updating Personal Information

If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as the user’s zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to correct, update or remove that user's personal data.  Corrections should be sent to ELAW as described in the "Contact Information" section of this policy.

Choice and Opt-out

Users may opt-out of our electronic newsletter or bulletins by following the SafeUnsubscribe™ or Update Profile links at the end of any email.

Users who no longer wish to receive other ELAW email or print communications may also opt-out by contacting ELAW as described in the "Contact Information" section of this policy.

Cookies This site does not use persistent cookies.  This site uses session cookies to track certain aspects of visitors' preferences for things such as site language.  This site does not use cookies to collect personally identifying information about unauthenticated visitors.

Sharing

We do not share contact information or aggregated demographic information with our partners or sponsors.

Log Files

We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement on our site, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.  IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect our users' information.  All of our users' information is restricted in our offices.  Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information.  All employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.

Any time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our users' information is protected.
