The National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) values the privacy of our Internet visitors. NLPC does not sell, trade or share a donor’s personal information with anyone else, nor do we send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations. NLPC will only share personal information once the donor has given us specific permission to do so.

When you visit nlpc.org, we do not obtain your email address unless you manually send it to us by, for example, using the contact form or making an online donation. Because some software collects it automatically, we do obtain some IP addresses. They are not shared with any third party.

The IP address of website visitors is not apparent to other visitors and can only be accessed with the use of a password, which is solely available to the to NLPC staff. Software programs also in some cases collect the name of the ISP visitors are using (for examples, AOL or Earthlink). This data is also kept under secure password.

NLPC uses cookies to automate the process of logging on to certain areas of the site. A cookie is a small data file stored on your computer that contains a single, randomly assigned user ID number. Cookies cannot read any other files on your computer. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you’d prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent.

We ask for your name, street address, email address, telephone number and payment information when you make a contribution on our website.

The nlpc.org website contains links to sites other than nlpc.org, and that those sites may not follow the same privacy policies. Many links in our postings will take you away from nlpc.org to an entirely different site.

NLPC encourages parents to spend time with their children online and to be fully familiar with the sites visited. In general, nlpc.org does not contain content that is reasonably considered unsuitable for children.

NLPC reserves the right to change the policy on use of information collected. Any changes in policy will be noted in a revised privacy policy statement and will be posted at least 30 days prior to implementation.
