ERASE Racism has established this privacy policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this Website: www.eraseracismny.org.

This Privacy Policy sets forth the practices in effect at ERASE Racism to protect the privacy of its website visitors and financial supporters, as well as recipients of its print publications. This Policy also outlines how you can update your information or receive additional information.

This site contains links to other sites. ERASE Racism is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such 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.

General Information Collection and Use
ERASE Racism is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. We collect information from our users at several different points on our Website.

Log Files

Shopping Cart

ERASE Racism’s secure transaction environment uses cookies to keep track of shopping cart contents, such as quantity, and product ID.

Online Giving
ERASE Racism’s online donation process occurs in a secure portion of the eraseracismny.org website. Submissions are encrypted and secure from outside users via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, the industry standard for secure online transactions. All personal information — including credit card number, name, and address — is encrypted so it cannot be read as it travels over the Internet.

ERASE Racism processes its donations through a third party service. This relationship is 100% confidential and secure. After a completed donation is accepted by the third party’s server and authorized, credit card information is destroyed and a finalized report is sent through to ERASE Racism. No information other than to diagnose problems with the transaction server is retained by the third party. They do not resell, retransmit, or retain any information about transactions or personal contact information for donors it processes on behalf of ERASE Racism.

Supporters
ERASE Racism is committed to maintaining the confidence and trust of its financial supporters.

ERASE Racism collects the personal information that supporters provide.  After someone donates to ERASE Racism, his or her information is added to ERASE Racism’s mailing list.  ERASE Racism uses this information to keep donors informed about the progress of its projects through print and online mailings and to encourage donors’ continued financial support.

ERASE Racism shares donor information, in terms of addresses, with business partners as required in the usual course of business.  For example, ERASE Racism may use a vendor, such as a mailing house, to assist in the generation and distribution of written communications to donors.

ERASE Racism lists the names of donors on its website at eraseracismny.org.  If you do not wish to have your name listed as a donor on the website please inform us through the process outlined in the Choice/Opt-Out section below.
