When you register, contribute, or take any other action
on our site, we may ask you to give us contact information, including your name,
address, telephone number and/or e-mail address. We may obtain information about
you from outside sources and add it to or combine it with the information we
collect through this site. We use this information to operate this site, send
you news and information to you about DRAGA design’s work, solicit your
participation in programs, events and activities, and obtain and confirm RSVP’s
to events and programs. We use your e-mail address to send such information by
e-mail and may use your telephone number to call you for these purposes.
We will never provide your e-mail address or any of
your personal information to any other person or organization, for any purpose
except for DRAGA design. Submitting
your personal information including e-mail address on this page will sign you
up to receive e-mails from DRAGA design.
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.
In no such case will we disclose your email address or phone number without your
specific permission. We may also make your comments, along with your first name,
city, and state available to the press and public online.
We will also use your first name to indicate the latest actions taken on this
site.
Children
DRAGA design does not solicit personally identifying information from children.
Any visitors who is under 13 years of age should ask a parent or legal guardian
for assistance when using this website and should not submit any personally identifying
information to the site. For example, visitors under 13 years of age should not
make donations or take any actions on or through this site.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information
about the user. Some parts of this site may be password-protected. We may use
a cookie (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.
Advertising
We may place online advertising with third-party vendors, including Google, which
will be shown on other sites on the internet. In some cases, those third-party
vendors may decide which ads to show you based on your prior visits to the site.
At no time will you be personally identified to those third-party vendors, nor
will any of the information you share with us be shared with those third-party
vendors. If you prefer to opt out of the use of these third-party cookies on
the site, you can do so by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt out
page.
Data Tracking
In order to better serve our supporters, 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 DRAGA design
supporters.
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.
