Complete Privacy Policy

We work hard to protect your privacy. We’re members too, and we treat your privacy as we do our own.

We wrote this privacy policy to let you know how we treat your personal information – and to show you all the ways we work to keep it safe and private.

The Site is directed to users in the United States only.

We do not share the information you’ve given us with unaffiliated groups without your explicit permission.

We may share some of your personal information with the following affiliated groups:

• Grassroots Campaigns, Inc., the organization that provides staff for some of our campaigns.
• Affiliated Third Parties – for example, our database administrators – for the sole purpose of helping us do our work. These groups do not share your personal information or use it for any purpose other than as instructed by us.
• Third Party Administrators, such as organizations we engage to facilitate large distribution of messages. The content of these emails will be from MomsRising.org and these third parties do not have direct access to your personally identifiable information.

In addition, with your explicit permission, we pass along certain of your information to the following groups (as is standard practice):

• The President, legislators and news publications and other targets when you choose to use our email tool to send them messages.
• With the President, legislators, news publications, and the general public when you sign petitions or complete surveys.

Please review this privacy policy periodically because we modify it from time to time.

This privacy policy was last revised on 2006.

Each time you visit this Site or provide us with information through the Site, by doing so you are accepting practices described in the privacy policy in effect at that time.

You are also accepting our specific rules or terms of use which may be posted on specific sections of the Site, including areas for making donations, signing petitions or sending emails, and taking part in our photo campaigns.

This privacy policy applies to transactions and activities in which you engage and data gathered only on the Site. This privacy policy does not apply to any other website or any offline contact between MomsRising.org and any other entity or offline contact between you and MomsRising.org.

Petitions and Surveys
For petitions and surveys you've signed or completed, we treat your name, city, state, and comments as public information—for example, we may provide compilations of petitions, with your comments, to the President and legislators, other targets, or to the press.

We will not make your street address publicly available, but we may transmit it to members of Congress and to the President as part of a petition.
This is a standard industry practice in such situations.

In no such case will we disclose your email address or phone number, without your permission. We may also make your comments, along with your first name, city and state available to the press and public online.

Sending Emails Via MomsRising.org
In certain cases or in the future, we may enable you to send individual e-mails to the President, legislators, and other targets as well as Letters-to-the-Editor to various news publications, 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 using our email tool.

You are solely responsible for the specific message(s) you send using our email tool.

Financial Donations
If you choose to make a donation to MomsRising.org, your credit card information will be used only for this transaction through our secure online payment system. MomsRising.org does not retain credit card information or transmit credit card information to candidate committees.

However, federal law requires us to report to the Federal Election Commission the name, address, occupation, and employer for each MomsRising.org contributor who gives more than $200 during each calendar year.

Children
MomsRising.org does not solicit personally identifying information from children. Visitors who are under 13 years of age should ask their parent or legal guardian for assistance when using the Site and should not submit any personally identifying information to the Site.

For example, visitors under 13 years of age should not make donations or use the MomsRising.org email tool.

Cookies
Some parts of the Site are password-protected. We use cookies (cookies reside on your computer and are under the control of your browser) to enable you to return to password-protected areas of the website without having to re-enter your password.

If you wish to disable these cookies, the help portion of the tool bar on most browsers will tell you how do that. If you set your browser to disable cookies, however, you may not be able to access certain parts of this Site.

Data Tracking
In order to better serve our members, we use cookies and periodically analyze web logs. We may also use third-party services such as Google Analytics. This helps us understand traffic patterns and know if there are problems with our website. We may also use embedded images in emails to track open rates for our mailings, so that we can tell which mailings appeal most to MomsRising.org members.

URLs contained in emails may contain an ID that enables us to correctly identify the person who takes an action using a web page. We use these URLs to simplify the process of signing petitions and filling out surveys.

We may occasionally present a shortened URL that references a longer URL which contains an id—we do this to simplify the display, to prevent links from becoming broken when copied, and to ensure compatibility with email programs which do not handle long URLs. When a shortened URL is displayed in an email, you will see the full URL in the browser's address bar when you access the page.

Links to Other Websites
MomsRising.org may provide links to third party web sites, and other web sites may provide links to the Site. Third party web sites operate according to their own terms of use and privacy policies.

MomsRising.org has no control over such third party web sites, and by using this Site, you acknowledge and agree that MomsRising.org is not responsible for the availability of such third party sites, and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products or other materials on or available from such sites.

You further acknowledge and agree that MomsRising.org will not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with use of or reliance on any content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such sites.

Changes to the Privacy Policy
MomsRising.org may revise or amend this policy at any time at our sole discretion. If we make any substantive changes in the way we collect or use personally identifying information provided by users, we will post a prominent announcement on our web site home page and post the changes on this page.

We will never change our policies and practices to make them less protective of user information collected prior to the effective date of any changes without the consent of affected users. We encourage users to visit this page periodically to review our current policy.
