DC Appleseed is committed to protecting the personal information that you provide to us when using the DC Appleseed Site. This privacy policy describes how we treat all user data collected during your visit to www.dcappleseed.org, both anonymous data and personally-identifying data.
User Data We Collect
We collect two types of user data: (1) anonymous data that is automatically collected from all visitors to the DC Appleseed Site; and (2) personally-identifiable data that you voluntarily submit to us (described below under "Personal Data").
Anonymous Data. We automatically collect Internet Protocol addresses and domain names through our server. We also track the number and frequency of hits per page on an aggregate basis.
Personal Data. We may collect Personal Data that you voluntarily provide, such as your name and postal address, phone number, e-mail address, and similar information, when you participate in certain activities on the DC Appleseed Site, including (but not limited to) when you: sign up for email updates and/or make a donation to support DC Appleseed.
How We Use the Data We Collect
We use anonymous data to identify the source of user traffic (for example, georgetown.edu, or aol.com), but we are not able to use this data to identify individual users. We use data on which sections of the DC Appleseed Site are most visited, so that we can evaluate the popularity of our different Web pages and continue to improve the DC Appleseed Site. We do not link any anonymous data with the Personal Data you provide to us.
We use your Personal Data for various purposes, including: to fulfill the request for which you specifically provided the data; to send you e-mail newsletters or action alerts, if you have not opted out of receiving that information; and/or to confirm your contribution to DC Appleseed.
