Who We Are
Our website address is: everyfuture.org
Your privacy on the Internet is important to us. As part of the operation and customization feature of the Protecting Every Future, everyfuture.org, we gather certain types of information from users, and we would like to explain the types of information we gather, what we do with them, and how to correct or change the information.
Information Collected By Protecting Every Future
Protecting Every Future collects two types of information from users: personal data such as zip code, email address, and demographic information; and aggregated data such as information about traffic patterns on URL (for example, how many users log on to the website on a daily basis).
Aggregated Information
Aggregated information, such as which pages users visit, is collected through various means. One of these ways is through an IP address, a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Web servers, the computers that “serve up” Web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you request a page from Protecting Every Future, everyfuture.org our servers log your IP address. Protecting Every Future does not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, so although your session will be logged, your session will remain anonymous to us. Protecting Every Future collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration only.
Use of Information Collected by Protecting Every Future
Protecting Every Future, everyfuture.org uses both the personal and aggregated information we collect for multiple purposes. The information is used to improve the content of the site, to customize the content and/or layout of the site for each individual user, and if requested, to provide information services by email to the user.
User Registration
If you want to receive messages, news or regulatory updates from Protecting Every Future, everyfuture.org, or want to take action such as sending a letter to the editor through the site, you are encouraged but not required to register. When registering, we collect the following information: name, email address, zip code. After registration, users will receive a single email message confirming registration. Protecting Every Future, everyfuture.org will never disclose your personally identifiable information to a third party unless required to do so by court order, law, or governmental agency.

It is important to note that everyfuture.org contains links to sites other than everyfuture.org, and that those sites may not follow the same privacy policies as Protecting Every Future .
Security
Although we make good faith efforts to store information collected by Protecting Every Future in a secure operating environment, we cannot guarantee complete security.
Changes to the Privacy Policy
Protecting Every Future reserves the right to change its 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. You may direct any privacy policy questions to: [email protected]
What personal data we collect and why we collect it
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
