Delaware Family Policy Council is committed to protecting the personal information that you provide and entrust to us when using our websites. This online privacy statement describes how we treat all user data collected by Delaware Family Policy Council during your visit to our sites, both technical data that is automatically collected and voluntarily submitted data.

For purposes of this Privacy Statement, the “Delaware Family Policy Council websites” are those whose domain name is www.delawarefamilies.org. Delaware Family Policy Council websites use a secure service to process contributions and to assist users with subscribing or taking action (e.g., contacting their elected officials). These sites are also covered by this Privacy Statement. At times, Delaware Family Policy Council may also operate other websites that don’t contain this domain name. This Privacy Statement does not apply to those websites (unless those websites link directly to this Privacy Statement). Additionally, this is not the privacy statement for internet sites (e.g., blogs, forums or social networking sites) where Delaware Family Policy Council has a presence that are on websites other than the Delaware Family Policy Council websites.

User Data We Collect

We collect 2 types of user data: (1) technical data that is automatically collected from all visitors to the Wyoming Family Alliance websites (“Automatically Collected Data”); and (2) data that you voluntarily submit to us (“Voluntarily Submitted Data”).

Automatically Collected Data

We automatically collect and store Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses and may know some information you have previously provided through cookies. (See the section on “Cookies” below for more information.) We also track the number and frequency of hits per page, as well as length of website visit, using IP addresses and/or session cookies. In addition, if you come to the Delaware Family Policy Council websites from a website link, we may also identify the source of that link.

Voluntarily Submitted Data

We may collect and store Voluntarily Submitted Data, including personal data, that you voluntarily provide, such as your name and postal address, phone number, e-mail address, and similar information, and transactional information, such as giving and action-taking history, when you participate in certain activities on the Delaware Family Policy Council websites, including (but not limited to) when you:

We also may collect data concerning your use of the Delaware Family Policy Council websites or interest in Delaware Family Policy Council communications such as by using an embedded image in an email in order to track whether you open our email communications and using a URL contained in an email we send to you that enables us to identify that you have taken an action using a web page.

Cookies

We collect some data through the use of cookies. Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that are transferred to your browser on your computer or device and either stored permanently for future access by the transferor (“long-term cookies”) or temporarily to facilitate the transferor’s website analysis and functionality (“short-term cookies”) or that are transferred temporarily to your computer’s Random Access Memory (“session cookies”).

We may transfer a Long-term Cookie in circumstances in which you are notified prior to the cookie being stored. For example, when you select a “remember” option on the Delaware Family Policy Council websites, a long-term cookie will be stored on your browser on your computer or device solely for the purpose of automatically filling in the information you have asked to be remembered; for example, automatically filling in your password when you log in to the Delaware Family Policy Coucil websites or your postal address when you write a letter to your representative.

We may use session cookies whenever you visit the Delaware Family Policy Council websites for our website traffic analytics application and the site’s interactive applications, such as in our online advocacy. Session cookies last only as long as your browser session. They expire when you close your browser and are not permanently stored on your computer or device. We also use session cookies in emails containing the HTML-format. If you select “text-only” format preference, emails sent to you will not contain any session cookies.

How We Use The Data We Collect

In addition to the uses described above, we use Automatically Collected Data to identify the source outside the Delaware Family Policy Council websites of user traffic (for example, yahoo.com) so that we can evaluate what content is persuading web users to become involved in the mission of Delaware Family Policy Council. We use Automatically Collected Data, including IP addresses and/or session or short-term cookies, that indicates which sections of the Delaware Family Policy Council websites are most visited so that we can perform website traffic analysis, evaluate the popularity of our different web pages and continue to improve the Delaware Family Policy Council websites.
