Website Visitors

Like most website operators, EYEJ collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. EYEJ’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how EYEJ’s visitors use its website. From time to time, EYEJ may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

EYEJ also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users. For certain programs information related to a user’s contact information including e-mail address, mailing address, phone number and related information. In the case of minors, EYEJ collects it only after the consent of the minor’s legal guardian. The legal guardian of all youth members of EYEJ is required to consent to the collection of their child/ward’s information in writing prior to their enrollment. At any point the legal guardian may review or have deleted the child/ward’s personal information and refuse to permit its further collection or use. If this is the case please contact hello@eyej.org and put “Privacy Policy Issue” in the subject line, or write us at: 2529 Detroit Ave. Cleveland OH 44113 or call us at: 216-200-7042.

EYEJ only discloses potentially non-personally-identifying information under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to EYEJ’s websites choose to interact with EYEJ in ways that require EYEJ to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that EYEJ gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for membership at EYEJ.org to provide a username and email address.

Those who engage in transactions with EYEJ — by making a donation, for example — are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. Such transactions are done utilizing third-parties. EYEJ cannot control the privacy policies of third parties but has attempted to vet our third parties as it relates to privacy and the disclosure or use of such information to conform to industry norms. EYEJ collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with EYEJ. EYEJ does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

For instance, EYEJ may monitor the most popular pages and articles on the EYEJ.org site or use spam screening service to help identify spammers.
