Your Acceptance of These Terms
Your continued use of this site signifies your assent to the Center for Health, Environment and Justice (CHEJ) Privacy Policy. This policy is periodically reviewed by Center for Health, Environment and Justice and may be subject to change. If you still have questions or concerns regarding CHEJ’s privacy policy, please contact us at info@chej.org.
1. What information does Center for Health, Environment and Justice gather and track?
We collect only that information you email to us or send to us via the various forms on the website. Some information is gathered when you donate, sign-on to the BE SAFE platform, or sign up to receive email updates. During these processes, we ask for your name, group name, address, phone, and email. Only this information is required, although other information such as your issue areas of interest and whether you are currently working on an environmental health campaign is requested in order to be able to target our messages and customize your experience.
CHEJ employs a simple “count” system that tells us how many visits the site receives in a given period, but no identities or individually-identifiable information are gathered by this process.
Cookies/IP Address
CHEJ does not utilize “cookies” (small files that may be placed temporarily on your hard disk for record-keeping purposes) in connection with our websites, and users who have their cookies disabled will experience full functionality.
Support/Information
When you fill out a form on our site requesting technical support or information, we ask you for your personal information and other information necessary to answer your question or resolve your problem.
2. How does Center for Health, Environment and Justice use my information?
The following describes some of the ways your information may be used:
- Your contact information is used to send you information about CHEJ and contact you when necessary.
- CHEJ may use the information we collect to occasionally notify you about important new CHEJ services we think you'll find valuable.
- Any information you provide to us through a form requesting technical support, information, or free services is used for that specific situation only.
3. Does Center for Health, Environment and Justice share my information?
CHEJ will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information without your permission. CHEJ will not rent, trade, sell or share its mail or email list with any other organization or entity unless the user is first notified and expressly agrees in advance.
4. How secure is my account information?
The Center for Health, Environment and Justice uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information, such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. We make every effort to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. In addition, we - and our partners - always use a secure connection when collecting personal financial information from you. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
Your CHEJ group member account is password-protected so that only you and those you designate can access it and view the member information relevant to your account. Ultimately, you are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and any account information.
5. How do I opt out of receiving messages from Center for Health, Environment and Justice?
If you do not wish to receive messages from the Center for Health, Environment and Justice, send an email asking that your contact information be eliminated from our databases to info@chej.org.
