This Privacy Policy is offered by Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund, Inc. (including its volunteer grassroots networks of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and Students Demand Action) and its related organizations (including Everytown for Gun Safety Victory Fund and Everytown for Gun Safety Support Fund, Inc.) (collectively “Everytown” “we,” “us,” or “our”) to describe the information collection, use, and disclosure practices of our websites (“Sites”) and our mobile applications (“Apps”) that link to this Privacy Policy (together, the “Service”) as well as for the personal information that we receive through other channels including by postal mail or in person.

Information Collection

When you use the Service or otherwise interact with us, we may collect certain personal information you choose to disclose to us, such as your name, email address, postal address, telephone number, student status, and payment card information. You may provide this information, for example, when you send a donation, register with the Service, RSVP for an event, respond to a feedback form, post content, filter search results, make a purchase or contribution, or send a message on the Service. If you register with the Service, you may be asked to create a user name and password. We may combine the information you provide through the Service with any information you provide to us through other channels. We may also receive information about you from third parties and combine it with the information that you provide.

When you interact with us, such as when you make a donation, RSVP for an event, or provide your information through the Service, your personal information, including your email, will automatically be added to our mailing list. Email addresses of recipients of tell-a-friend emails will not be collected by us. Additionally, our Apps may request access to your calendar to facilitate your RSVPs and event participation.

If you apply for a job or volunteer position with us, we will collect any information that you provide during the application process, including your contact information, educational and work history, and demographic and other information that you submit about yourself.

We (or third parties as described below) may also collect technical information about your visit to our Service, such as your domain name, IP address, browser type, device identifier, activities on the Service, and date and time of your visit. We may use your IP address to derive your device’s general location. Our Apps may collect information about the precise location of your mobile device if you enable location services and grant permission.

Information Use

We may use the information we collect for any lawful purpose, such as to:

  • respond to your requests and send you notifications;
  • send information to you about Everytown or other organizations;
  • generate directions to events;
  • operate and improve the Service, and customize your experience across the Service;
  • comply with applicable law;
  • identify or remedy potential threats to the Services’ security;
  • conduct research about your use of the Service and our services; and
  • for any other purpose stated at the time of collection.

Cookies

Portions of the Service are cookie-enabled to give you a more customized user experience. A cookie is a small piece of information that a website can store on a computer and later use to recognize a user. A purpose of cookies is to enhance your ability to receive the information you want. We use two types of cookies to enhance the experience of users: session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie expires when a user closes the browser in which this website was viewed. A persistent cookie expires on a pre-determined date. You may be able to personalize your browser settings to reject cookies, although certain features of the Service may not function as intended. See below for more information and choices regarding analytics and interest-based advertising by third parties on the Service.

Information Sharing

We may share personal information with our affiliates, such as parent, subsidiary and any other Everytown organizations.

We may share personal information to provide services that you request. For example, we may share personal information with organizations hosting events when you RSVP on our Apps. Additionally, we may share your address with web-based mapping frameworks, like Google Maps or MapQuest, to generate directions to events for you. When we share information with such other entities, it will be governed by their privacy policies.

From time to time, we may send you information from or share your personal information with other non-affiliated organizations we think you might find interesting. When we share information with such organizations, it will be governed by their privacy policies. Please see “Your Choices” below for information on opting out of such sharing.

We may share personal information with third parties who support our work, such as service providers, affiliates, and subsidiaries. This may include sharing information about your donations and purchases with third parties that provide marketing analytics services to us and to other entities based on the information that we provide. As a result of this sharing, such other entities will be able to send you more relevant offers if you already have a relationship with them. Please see “Your Choices” below for more information on opting out of such sharing.

If we or some or all of our assets are acquired by another organization, such as through a merger, acquisition, or bankruptcy, that organization will possess the information collected by us, and it will assume the rights and obligations regarding your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

We may disclose personal information or other data to comply with law or legal requirements, enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements, or protect our rights, property, or safety of our users or others.

We may share information that has been de-identified or aggregated, or any other technical information, without limitation.

Some parts of the Service allow you to interact with other visitors, to take certain actions (like contacting a legislator), or to participate in public forums. When you participate in these features, such as by posting, commenting, or saving or taking actions, the information that you provide, such as your name, email address, or username, will be available to other Service visitors and/or the general public.

For your convenience, the Service may contain certain hyperlinks to other websites or apps offered by third parties. We make no promises or guarantees regarding data collection on the hyperlinked websites and apps that are not operated by Everytown.

The Service may also include tools offered by third parties, such as our donations page; and social media tools or “plug-ins” from third parties, such as social networking and video streaming tools. If you create accounts with these third parties, use their tools on our Service, or otherwise interact with these third parties on the Service, the third parties may collect, use, and share such information in accordance with your account settings, including by sharing such information with the general public. These third-party partners may also provide your information to us for our own use.

Your interactions with third-party entities and your use of their features, websites, and apps are governed by the privacy notices of those third-party entities. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy notices of any accounts and tools that you use.

Analytics and Interest-Based Advertising

We may work with third parties to serve more relevant online ads to you based on information we collect about you and information those third parties collect about your activities on our Service and across other websites and apps over time, including on different devices. We adhere to the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) Self-Regulatory Principles in connection with this activity. You may visit www.aboutads.info to learn more about such Interest-Based Advertising (“IBA”) and how to opt-out of this type of advertising by companies participating in the DAA self-regulatory program.

We may also work with third parties that collect data about your use of the Service and other websites or apps over time for non-advertising purposes.
