We respect the privacy of our users and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”), which describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you use our openjusticeforall.co.uk website (“Website”) or our services (collectively, “Services”), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information. This Privacy Policy applies to the data collected by us, or those working on our behalf, through information you enter or from the imported data from authorized and approved sources. It does not apply to data collected through offline means or from other sites, products, or services not approved by us.

What does this privacy policy cover? This privacy policy applies to information we collect:

This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information. This is information that may be connected to you specifically as the individual to whom the information relates. Such information may include name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, or any other information defined as personally identifiable information (or a similar term) by applicable laws (collectively, “Personal Information”). Personal Information does not include your personally identifiable information that has been de-identified, pseudonymized, anonymized, aggregated, and/or otherwise processed so as to be unidentifiable (i) in such a way that the data can no longer be attributed to a specific individual or (ii) in such a way that the data can no longer be attributed to a specific individual (by reasonable means) without the use of additional information, and where such additional information is kept separate and under adequate security to prevent unauthorized re-identification of a specific individual such that one could not, using reasonable efforts, link such information back to a specific individual (the foregoing being referred to as “De-Identified Personal Information”).

Cookies (or browser cookies)
A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device. It may contain certain data, including, but not limited to: the name of the server that has placed it there, an identifier in the form of a unique number, and an expiration date (some cookies only). Cookies are managed by the web browser on your computer (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or Google Chrome). Different types of cookies which have different purposes are used on our Website.

Essential cookies
These cookies are essential to allow you to browse our Website and use its functions.

These cookies collect information on the use of our Website, such as which pages are consulted most often. This information enables us to optimize our Website and simplify browsing. Performance cookies also enable our affiliates and partners to find out whether you have accessed one of our websites from their site and whether your visit has led to the use or purchase of a product or service from our Website, including the references for the product or service purchased. These cookies do not collect any information which could be used to identify you. All the information collected is aggregated, and therefore anonymous.

Functionality cookies
These cookies enable our Website to remember the choices you have made when browsing. For example, we can store your geographical location in a cookie so that the Website corresponding to your area is shown. We can also remember your preferences, such as the text size, font, and other customizable aspects of the Website. Functionality cookies may also be able to keep track of the products or videos consulted to avoid repetition. The information collected by these cookies cannot be used to identify you and cannot monitor your browsing activity on sites that do not belong to us.

It is possible that you will come across third-party cookies on some pages of sites that are not under our control.

You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting in your browser. However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of our Website. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Website.

We also use cookies to implement tracking technology on our Website. This allows us to display advertising that is tailored to you on our Website, showing which parts of our content interest you the most and which service categories you request. This tracking uses De-Identified Personal Information data (i.e., data that cannot be identified as being specifically associated with you) and does not use your Personal Information. We will not combine this data with your other Personal Information without your express permission. At any time, you can prevent the use of cookies like this in the future. To do so, contact us and we can provide an opt-out cookie that you have to accept once. We also list our partners that are allowed to place cookies on our Website. These also provide you with the option of preventing the use of cookies in the future. For more information, contact the relevant third-party provider.

Flash cookies
Certain features of our Website may use local stored objects (or Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on our Website. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies.

Web Beacons:
Pages on our Website and in our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs). These files allow us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and gather other related website statistics (such as recording the popularity of specific website content and verifying system and server integrity).

Pixel Tracking:
In addition to using Cookies, the Website may utilize "pixel tracking," a common process associated with advertisements on other sites. Pixel tracking involves the use of pixel tags that are not visible to the user and consist of a few lines of computer code. Pixel tracking measures the effectiveness of advertisements and compiles aggregate and specific usage statistics. A "pixel tag" is an invisible tag placed on certain pages of websites used to track an individual user’s activity. We may access these pixel tags to identify activity and interests, allowing us to better align our goods, services, and other offers with your interests and needs. For instance, if you visit our Website from an advertisement on another website, the pixel tag will enable the advertiser to track that its advertisement brought you to the Website. If you visit our Website, and we link you to another website, we may also determine that you were sent to and/or transacted with a third-party website. This data is collected for use in our marketing and research.

GIF:
We may use tiny images known as clear GIFs to track the behavior of users, including statistics on who opens our emails.

IP Address:
Our servers automatically record certain log file information reported from your browser when you access the Services. These server logs may include information such as which pages of the Service you visited, your internet protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, and other information on how you interact with the Services. These log files are generally deleted after one week.

Third-Party Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies:

Some content or applications, including advertisements, on the Website are served by third parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers, and application providers. These third parties may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our website. The information they collect may be associated with your Personal Information or they may collect information, including Personal Information, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content.

We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider.

We use Google Analytics to help us understand the use of our Website. This service collects the information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, including cookies and your IP address, and their use of it is governed by their privacy policy.

By providing us your email address (including by “following,” “liking,” linking your account to our Website, etc., on a third-party website or network), you consent to our using the email address to send you Website-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail.

If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may opt out by clicking unsubscribe at the bottom of any message you receive from us.

Following termination or deactivation of your account with us, we may retain your profile information and user content for a reasonable time for archival purposes. Furthermore, we may retain and continue to use indefinitely all information (including user content) contained in your communications to other users or posted to public or semi-public areas of our Website after termination or deactivation of your account.

We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor the user content you post on our Website. We reserve the right to remove any such information or material for any reason or no reason, including without limitation if, in our sole opinion, such information or material violates, or may violate, any applicable law or to protect or defend our rights or property or those of any third party. We also reserve the right to remove information upon the request of any third party.

We use information that we collect about you or that you provide to us, including any Personal Information:

  • To present our Website and its contents to you.

We may use the information we have collected from you to enable us to display advertisements to our advertisers’ target audiences. Even though we do not disclose your Personal Information for these purposes without your consent, if you click on or otherwise interact with an advertisement, the advertiser may assume that you meet its target criteria.

Social Media Plugins:
We integrate social media application program interfaces or plug-ins ("Plug-ins") from social networks, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and possibly others, into the Website. To register as a user with us, you may have the option to sign in using your Facebook or other social media site ("SMS") login.

For instance, when you visit our Website or platform, the plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. This enables Facebook to receive information about your visit to our Website or platform, including your IP address. Clicking the Facebook "Like" button while logged into your Facebook account allows you to link the contents of our Website or platform to your Facebook profile. Facebook can then associate your visit with your user account. Please note that, as the provider of the Website or platform, we receive no notification about the contents of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. If you wish to prevent Facebook from associating your visit with your Facebook user account, please log out of your Facebook account.

By doing so, you authorize us to access specific SMS account information, such as your public SMS profile (consistent with your privacy settings in SMS), email address, interests, likes, gender, birthday, education history, relationship interests, current city, photos, personal description, friend list, and information about and photos of your SMS friends who might be common SMS friends with other users.

Plug-ins may transfer information about you to the respective platform without requiring action on your part. This information may include your platform user identification number, the website you are on, and more. Interaction with a Plug-in will transmit information directly to that Plug-in’s social network, and this information may be visible to others on that platform. Plug-ins are governed by the respective platform’s privacy policy, not by our Privacy Policy. You can find the privacy policy for a platform on their website.

Retention of Your Information:
After termination or deactivation of your account, we may retain your profile information and all information posted to public areas of the Services. Personal Information and other data may be retained following termination or deactivation of your account, but we will treat it as confidential according to this Privacy Policy and as required by applicable law. We reserve the right to delete all of your Personal Information and other data after the termination of your account without notice.

How We Share Your Information:
Any personal information or content you voluntarily disclose for posting to OpenJusticeforAll.com, such as user content, becomes available to the public, as controlled by any applicable privacy or website customization settings. If you remove information you posted toOpenJusticeforAll.com, copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages, or if other users have copied or saved that information.

Personal Information:
We will not rent or sell your Personal Information to others, except as noted below under "Disclosure/Assignment of Your Personal Information." We may share your Personal Information with third parties to provide or improve the Service to you. If we do so, such third parties' use of your Personal Information will be bound by obligations of confidentiality. Personal Information may be stored in locations outside our direct control. Any Personal Information or content you voluntarily disclose for posting to the Service becomes available to the public, as controlled by any applicable privacy or website customization settings. To change your privacy settings on the Service, visit your NationBuilder account settings page. If you remove information you posted to the Service, copies may remain viewable in cached and archived pages of the Service, or if other users have copied or saved that information.

From time to time, we may run contests, special offers, or other events or activities ("Events") on the Service with a third-party partner. If you provide information to such third parties, you give them permission to use it for the purpose of that Event and any other use to which you consent. We cannot control third parties' use of your information. If you do not want your information collected by or shared with a third party, you can choose not to participate in these Events.

Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose Personal Information to any third party unless required by law, court order, legal process, or subpoena, or if we believe such action is necessary to (a) conform to the law, comply with legal process served on us, investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (b) enforce our Master Terms (including for billing and collection purposes), investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations, assist government enforcement agencies, or protect the security or integrity of our site; and (c) exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of NationBuilder, our users, or others.

De-Identified Personal Information:
We may share De-Identified Personal Information (such as anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, etc.) with interested third parties to help them understand the usage patterns for certain Services.

Your Consent to Our Disclosure/Assignment of Your Personal Information:
You consent to our disclosure of your Personal Information and other information to a potential buyer or other successor for considering a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or sale or transfer of some or all of our assets, whether as a going concern or part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding.

You agree to and hereby consent to our assignment, conveyance, or transfer (whether by contract, merger, or operation of law) of rights to your Personal Information and other information, with or without notice to you and without your further consent.

Security:
We have implemented measures to secure your Personal Information from accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

All personal information you provide is stored on secure servers (or those of our service providers) behind firewalls. We may store, retrieve, access, and transmit your personal information in the UK or other countries.

The safety and security of your information also depend on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of the Website or Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. You should not share your password with anyone. You must prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. Information shared in public areas may be viewed by other users.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do try to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information transmitted to us or obtained by us. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors may compromise the security of user information at any time. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website or used with our Services.

By providing us with your email address (including by “following,” “liking,” linking your account to the Services, etc., on a third-party website or network), you consent to our use of the email address to send you Service-related notices, including any notices required by law, instead of communication by postal mail. You also agree that we may send you notifications of activity on the Service to the email address you provide, following any applicable privacy settings. We may use your email address to send you other messages or content, such as, but not limited to, newsletters, additions or changes to features of the Service, or special offers. If you prefer not to receive such email messages, you can opt out by sending your request to us. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, special features, announcements, or offers. Please note that you may not opt out of Service-related emails.

If you are under 18, please refrain from sending any Personal Information about yourself (such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address) to us.
