Privacy Policy

Like most websites, we may automatically receive and record information in our server logs from your browser when you visit economicprogressri.org. The information that we collect with these automated methods may include your IP address, cookie information, browser type, system type, and the referring URL.

We use this type of information to measure and improve the performance of our site. On occasion we also access this type of information to investigate or maintain the stability and security of our site.

Certain pages on the Economic Progress Institute Page site may invite you to share personally identifying information, such as your name, address, email address, or telephone number. Sharing that information will allow you to make a donation, join our email list, or participate in other similar online activities.

We may use that voluntarily submitted data to:

• Fulfill your orders or transactions.
• Contact you about other EPI activities or news, or about opportunities to support EPI.
• Deliver content to you on platforms such as social media, other websites, search results pages and mobile apps.

If you sign up for our email list, we may collect data by using an embedded image to track whether you open our email and by using a URL that enables us to identify that you have taken an action, such as clicking a link in an email or signing an online petition.

This allows us to build a more effective advocacy program, to inform you about the EPI issues you care about most, and to make it simpler for you to sign petitions and fill out surveys.

We work with a variety of vendors who help us process data, facilitate the operation of the EPI site and deliver messages to you on other platforms. For example, outside vendors may help us analyze traffic on our site, process credit card transactions, or facilitate activities such as the collection and delivery of petition signatures. To the extent that any vendor has access to personally identifiable data about you, by virtue of the fact that it participates in the operation of the EPI site, we require that vendor to promise that it will keep that data confidential and use it only for the purpose of carrying out the functions we have engaged it to perform. That is true both as to passively collected data and as to voluntarily submitted data, and also as to data from any cookie or other tracking device.

There are exceptions to this rule. We do allow some vendors to use certain aggregated data for other purposes. In some instances, we may agree to allow a vendor to take aggregated and anonymized data about activity on the EPI site, and use that data for other purposes such as improvement of the vendor’s products or benchmarking for the vendor’s other clients. But we won’t agree to that unless we believe, in each instance, that the data won’t be recombined with other information to create any record about you as an identifiable individual.
