National School Climate Center Privacy Policy.
Your privacy at schoolclimate.org, NSCC.net, and bullybust.org is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. We will not give, sell, rent, or loan any personally identifiable information to any third party, unless we are legally required to do so or you authorize us to do so.
The Information We Collect:
We collect personally identifiable information, like names, postal addresses, email addresses, etc., when voluntarily submitted by our visitors. This information is only used to fulfill your specific request, unless you give us permission to use it in another manner, for example to add you to one of our mailing lists.
The Way We Use Information:
We use the information you provide about yourself when making a donation only to complete that transaction. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that transaction.
We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties. You can register with our website if you would like to receive our newsletter.
We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to share with donors. For example, we may tell a prospective donor that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.
Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about special events, new features or services.
Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
