General Privacy Policy effective June 11, 2021: Our goal is to provide you with information, resources, and services relevant and helpful to you, while respecting your right to privacy. In order to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy, we have prepared this statement disclosing the privacy practices for this entire site.
The Public Justice Foundation and Public Justice, P.C. collects cookies through this website, but we do not automatically collect your personal information – A cookie is information stored on your computer used for record-keeping. Use of cookies helps improve and customize your web performance through various services such as saving your passwords, saving your personal preferences, and ensuring you don’t repeatedly see the same ad. Collecting cookies is widely seen as an industry standard. Our site may use cookies to enhance your experience while using our website, but we do not collect or distribute any personal information not entered by you. In other words, we do not automatically collect any personally identifiable information about you such as name, address, phone number, or email address. However, we do obtain some types of non-personally identifiable information such as the Internet Service Provider you use to connect to the Internet, your browser type, or the type of computer operating system you use (e.g., Macintosh or Windows). The information collected by us is used for the purpose of analyzing our traffic.
It is likely your browser is already set to accept cookies. If you would prefer to not receive cookies, you can alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to refuse cookies, though, it is possible some areas of our website will not function properly when you view them.

We log IP addresses – that is, the location of a site visitor’s computer or network on the Internet – only for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes. In other words, our site includes software that lets us track how many people are coming onto our site, and from which search engines or web pages. This lets us know which information is of interest to visitors, and how they found that information. But we do not automatically collect your name or other personal information.
We also use IP addresses in the aggregate to track which pages people visit in order to assess which content people read most frequently, and to improve the quality of the site.
We do not use such data to develop profiles of individual visitors to our web site. There is no personal information collected in our log files. We evaluate site usage by analyzing user information in the aggregate, but this analysis does not identify any individual user.
When you contact us: We maintain some records of individuals who contact us for information via our website in order to contact you later or provide further information in the future. For example, if you send us an email, we may file your note to us, so that we can respond to you. However, we do not provide this information to anyone else unless you give us your permission or unless disclosure is required by law.
When you make purchases: If you provide information to purchase a book, manual, legal information packet, or other materials or merchandise, we use the information that we collect to process payments and shipping. This information is not made available to any third parties except as necessary to process payments or ship products. Your shipping and contact information is kept on file in case you choose to make additional purchases but will not be used in any other way.
When you make a contribution: If you choose to become a member of the Public Justice Foundation or otherwise make a charitable contribution, we use the information collected from you to process payments. Personal information may be shared with third party service providers (e.g., merchant banks) during this process. We need to share this information in order to process credit card purchases. Public Justice collects information about all of our donors so that we can thank you appropriately and track your donations for tax purposes. If you become a member of the Public Justice Foundation, your contact information will be added to our membership list. We occasionally make our membership list available to other public interest groups and activists. Members and donors, whether contributions and membership fees are made online or through any other means, may opt out of such membership list disclosures by contacting Member Services at memberservices@publicjustice.net.
Children’s online privacy protection: We do not collect any information about users’ ages, and do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from individual users under the age of 18 without parental or guardian permission. No form should be filled out by any child without first getting permission by his or her parent or legal guardian. We encourage parents to be with their children on the Internet and to supervise their children when submitting any form of information over the Internet.
