45Care2's website processes identifiers (biographical and contact information) such as your name, email address, date of birth, street address, zip code and sometimes phone number. This personal information is used to set up your Care2 account, to respond to your requests and questions, and to allow you to use Care2 member services. Care2 may also ask for demographic information, including professional or employment related information and nonpublic education information, such as your education level, occupation and industry. Care2 does not knowingly collect information from children under 13; if Care2 later learns that a child under 13 is registered, steps will be taken to remove the child's information from the database. We also reserve the right to collect publicly available data about you, either obtained directly by us or through a 3rd party. Care2 collects IP addresses for security and analytics purposes, but does not collect or use device-based geolocation data.

For example, we may provide compilations of petitions, with your comments, to the President and legislators, other targets, or to the press. Unless you have requested to be included as "anonymous," this information will also be visible on the website. We will not make your street address publicly available, but we may transmit it to members of Congress, to other public officials, or to other targets as part of a petition to validate your signature. We may also make your comments, along with your first name, city, state and country, available to the press and public online.</span></p> 49<p class="p3"><span class="s1">For some petitions we provide an advocacy service allowing individuals to send individual e-mails to public officials, legislators, and other targets as well as public comments to government agencies, through our website. These messages are sent in your name, with your e-mail address as the return address and your full name and contact information is provided as part of the submission. These messages will only be sent out under your name as you approve them on an individual basis by signing an action. You are solely responsible for the specific message(s) you send using our email tool. Optional comments will be included in the body of the email message delivered to the petition target.</span></p> 50<p class="p3"><span class="s1">During the signing process, you may opt to receive certain newsletters and memberships, in which case Care2 will send your contact information, including email address, street address, and sometimes phone, to those third-party providers.

Note that for many campaigns, the default settings assume that you want to receive communications from the petition sponsor. If you do not wish to receive such communications, please uncheck the box next to the signup offer.

Care2 may also disclose your personal information, including name and contact information in some limited circumstances such as when you specifically opt to receive a 3rd party newsletter.

We do link this automatically collected data to other information collected about site visitors.</span></li> <li class="li3"><span class="s1">Care2 and its partners use cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends, administer the website, track users' movements around the website, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level, but if you choose to disable cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functions on our website or service.</span></li> </ul> 89<p class="p3"><span class="s1">For more information on our use of cookies, please see <a href="https://www.care2.com/cookie-policy">Care2 Cookie Policy</a>.</span></p> 90<p class="p7"><span class="s1"><i><a name="sell"></a>Does Care2 sell e-mail addresses to advertisers?</i></span></p> 91<p class="p3"><span class="s1">We would only provide user email addresses to nonprofit or advertising partners with the user's direct permission. We respect your privacy and despise spam.</span></p> 92<p class="p3"><span class="s1">As mentioned above, in some cases you may opt to receive nonprofit partner newsletters or other commercial offers. When you opt to receive such an offer via Care2, we will send your email address and other necessary contact information to the newsletter publisher. Depending on the newsletter, this may result in a fee paid to Care2. Care2 will never offer newsletter subscriptions from, or reveal your address information to, organizations known to be spammers, casinos, or adult-content providers. We despise spam, and we do not associate ourselves with spammers.</span></p> 93<p class="p3"><span class="s1">With regards to e-mail communication with us, we read every message sent to us and do our best to respond quickly. We do save messages that might be needed if the sender contacts us again, but we absolutely do not sell, rent, give, or share e-mail addresses to other companies, unless you have specifically opted to receive such communications.</span></p> 94<p class="p7"><span class="s1"><i><a name="compliance"></a>How does Care2 maintain security regulation compliance?</i></span></p> 95<p class="p3"><span class="s1">Care2 is committed to keeping your personal information safe and secure and we have appropriate and proportionate security policies and organisational and technical measures in place to help protect your information.</span></p> 96<p class="p3"><span class="s1">This includes corporate policies and staff training regarding how your personal information should be handled, as well as physical security, encryption, and network security for IT infrastru
96cture. Your personal information is only accessible by appropriately trained staff.</span></p> 97<p class="p3"><span class="s1">Care2 relies on the 2021 Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as the primary legal mechanism for international data transfers in compliance with the GDPR and other applicable laws.</span></p> 98<p class="p7"><span class="s1"><i><a name="storage"></a>How does Care2 secure your information and its data storage?</i></span></p> 99<p class="p3"><span class="s1">We follow generally accepted standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. Care2's servers are located at world-class co-location facilities in California and Virginia, USA. The facility has some of the most powerful physical security systems in the business, from advanced smoke detection and fire suppression systems to 24/7 secured access with motion sensors, video camera surveillance, and security breach alarms. Only qualified Care2 data operation engineers are given access to the building.</span></p> 100<p class="p3"><span class="s1">Access to the database is restricted. All servers are protected by a firewall and secure data lines. Server access is restricted to qualified Care2 employees and authorized contractors, on an as-needed basis to maintain the operation of the website.</span></p> 101<p class="p3"><span class="s1">Although we maintain strict policies and procedures to safeguard our servers and our customers' data, it is not possible to guarantee security due to the inherent risks of transmitting data over the Internet.</span></p> 102<p class="p7"><span class="s1"><i><a name="retention"></a>What is Care2's data retention policy?</i></span></p> 103<p class="p8"><span class="s1">We may retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.</span></p> 104<p class="p7"><span class="s1"><i><a name="usresidents"></a>What other privacy rights do I have as a U.S. resident?</i></span></p> 105<p class="p3"><span class="s1">In addition to rights under California law, residents of certain U.S. states (such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Montana, and Oregon) may have privacy rights including: 106<br> - The right to access, correct, or delete personal information we maintain about you. 107<br> - The right to opt-out of targeted advertising, the sale or sharing of personal information, or certain types of profiling. 108<br> - The right to appeal if we deny a privacy rights request.</span></p> 109<p class="p3"><span class="s1">You may exercise these rights by contacting Care2 using the <a href="https://www.thepetitionsite.com/help/support"><span class="s7">Help Request Form</span></a>. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.</span></p> 110<p class="p7"><span class="s1"><i><a name="privacy"></a>What else should I know about my privacy?</i></span></p> 111<p class="p3"><span class="s1">Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online that information can be collected and used by others. In short, by posting personal information online that is publicly accessible, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Furthermore, while we strive to protect your personal information, Care2 cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us over the Internet, and you do so at your own risk. You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.</span></p> 112<p class="p7"><span class="s1"><i><a name="changes"></a>What happens if changes are made to the privacy policy?</i></span></p> 113<p class="p8"><span class="s1">Care2 reserves the right to change the privacy policy, but will notify users of such changes through email and/or by posting a notice on the site. In the event of any material change, this notification will be prior to that change becoming effective. If the change involves the use of a user's personally identifiable information then the notice to users will contain directions on how users can opt-out of the change.</span></p> 114<p class="p7"><span class="s1" style="font-size: 12pt;"><b><a name="more"></a>For more information:</b></span></p> 115<p class="p3"><span class="s1"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.eff.org/">Electronic Frontier Foundation</a> - a civil liberties organization working to protect your rights on-line.</span></p> 116<p class="p3"><span class="s1"><a target="_blank" href="https://epic.org/">Electronic Privacy Information Center</a> - established to focus public attention on emerging civil liberties issues relating to the National Information Infrastru
