Privacy Policy

North Carolina Center for Women’s Justice (“NCCWJ,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects the privacy of visitors to our website and is committed to handling personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy describes the types of information that may be collected through our website, how that information may be used and shared, and the choices available to website visitors.

Information We Collect

NCCWJ may collect information that you voluntarily provide when you interact with our website. Depending on the nature of your interaction, this information may include your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, information submitted through forms, event or program information, donation-related information, and other information you choose to provide.

Our website and third-party services used to operate or support it may also collect certain technical or usage information automatically. This may include information such as your IP address, browser or device information, referring website, pages visited, approximate location derived from technical information, and information about how visitors interact with the website.

How We Use Information

NCCWJ may use information collected through the website to:

• Respond to inquiries and requests;
• Process and administer donations;
• Communicate about NCCWJ’s programs, activities, events, and organizational work;
• Administer event registrations, programs, and other services;
• Maintain and improve the functionality, accessibility, and usability of our website;
• Understand general website usage and engagement;
• Maintain the security and integrity of our website and organizational systems;
• Maintain appropriate organizational and financial records; and
• Carry out other legitimate organizational purposes consistent with the reason the information was provided.

Donations and Payment Processing

Online donations to NCCWJ are processed through PayPal. When you choose to make an online contribution, payment information is provided to and processed by PayPal in accordance with PayPal’s applicable terms and privacy practices.

NCCWJ does not directly process or store donors’ complete payment-card information through this website. PayPal may provide NCCWJ with information associated with a transaction, such as donor contact information, donation amount, transaction information, and other information necessary to administer and acknowledge contributions.

Visitors should review PayPal’s privacy practices for additional information regarding how PayPal collects, uses, and protects information.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

NCCWJ’s website and third-party services used in connection with the website may use cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small data files that may be stored on a visitor’s device or browser. They may be used to support website functionality, remember preferences, understand 

website usage, maintain security, or provide and improve online services.

Visitors may be able to control or disable certain cookies through their browser settings or through cookie controls made available on the website. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some website features.

Email Communications

Email communications may not provide a secure method for transmitting sensitive or confidential information. Visitors should not send highly sensitive personal, financial, medical, legal, or other confidential information to NCCWJ through ordinary email unless specifically instructed to do so through an appropriate secure method.

NCCWJ may use contact information provided by email to respond to inquiries, provide requested information, and conduct legitimate organizational communications.

Third-Party Service Providers

NCCWJ may use third-party service providers to support functions such as website hosting, payment processing, communications, forms, analytics, security, and other organizational operations.

These providers may process information as necessary to provide services to NCCWJ and may maintain their own privacy policies, terms, and data practices. NCCWJ encourages visitors to review the privacy policies of third-party services when interacting directly with those services.

Information Sharing

NCCWJ does not sell personal information.

NCCWJ may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Provide a service or fulfill a request;
• Work with service providers performing functions on NCCWJ’s behalf;
• Process or administer donations and transactions;
• Maintain organizational records and operations;
• Protect the rights, property, security, or integrity of NCCWJ, our website, or others;
• Comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or lawful governmental request; or
• Carry out another purpose with the individual’s consent or at the individual’s direction.

NCCWJ seeks to limit disclosures to information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

Data Security

NCCWJ takes reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information under our control against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or information-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. NCCWJ therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through or maintained in connection with the website.

External Links

NCCWJ’s website may contain links to websites, platforms, or services operated by third parties.

NCCWJ does not control and is not responsible for the content, security, accessibility, or privacy practices of third-party websites or services. Visitors should review the applicable policies of those organizations before providing personal information.

Children’s Privacy

NCCWJ’s website is not designed for the purpose of collecting personal information directly from children. We do not knowingly use the website to solicit personal information from children without appropriate authorization.

If NCCWJ becomes aware that personal information from a child has been submitted through the website in circumstances requiring parental or guardian authorization, we may take appropriate steps to address the information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

NCCWJ may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our website, organizational practices, technology, or applicable requirements.

When material changes are made, the updated policy will be posted on this website with a revised “Last Updated” date.
