RFA | Privacy Policy

At Restore Fair Access (http://restorefairaccess.org), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This simple policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.

Information We Collect

We collect very little personal information from our website visitors. The main types of information we might collect are:

  • Information you voluntarily provide: This includes any information you submit through contact forms, sign-up forms for newsletters, or when you otherwise communicate with us directly (e.g., your name, email address).

  • Non-personally identifiable information: Like most websites, we gather some basic, anonymous information about your visit. This might include:

    • Your IP address (a numerical label assigned to your device on a computer network)

    • The type of browser you're using (e.g., Chrome, Firefox)

    • The pages you visit on our site

    • The time and date of your visit

    • The website you came from (if applicable)

    This information helps us understand how people use our website and improve it. It does not identify you personally.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To respond to your inquiries: If you contact us, we'll use your information to answer your questions or requests.

  • To send you updates (if you opt-in): If you sign up for a newsletter or email updates, we will use your email address to send you that information. You can unsubscribe at any time.

  • To improve our website: The non-personally identifiable information helps us analyze website traffic and make our site more user-friendly and effective.

  • For our advocacy work: Any information collected through our site that is relevant to our mission (e.g., petition signatures, survey responses) will be used to further the goals of Restore Fair Access, which is dedicated to empowering individuals and communities by championing policies that ensure equitable opportunities and access to essential resources for all.

How We Share Your Information

We will never sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties.

We may share your information only in very limited circumstances:

  • With service providers: We might use trusted third-party services (e.g., for website hosting, email delivery) that assist us in operating our website and conducting our work. These providers are obligated to keep your information confidential.

  • If required by law: We may disclose your information if we are legally required to do so, for example, in response to a court order or subpoena.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet transmission is ever completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
