Introduction
Capital Rights Lab, Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at capitalrights.org.
Information We Collect
We collect information you voluntarily provide to us, such as your email address when you subscribe to our mailing list through our website. We do not collect sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers, financial account information, or health data.
Our website may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, and pages visited. This information is collected through standard web server logs and is used solely to maintain and improve our website.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to send you updates about our research, litigation, and advocacy work if you have subscribed to our mailing list; to respond to your inquiries; and to improve our website and communications. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
Email Communications
If you subscribe to our mailing list, your email address is processed through Buttondown, our email service provider. You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in every email we send.
Third-Party Services
Our website is hosted on Netlify. Our domain is registered through GoDaddy. Our email subscriptions are managed through Buttondown. Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing its handling of data.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure.
Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information as promptly as possible. If you believe we may have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately at info@capitalrights.org.
International Visitors (GDPR Compliance)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable data protection laws. We process your personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so, including: your consent (for example, when you subscribe to our mailing list); our legitimate interests in operating and improving our website; and compliance with legal obligations.
Under the GDPR, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you; to request correction of inaccurate data; to request deletion of your data; to object to or restrict certain processing of your data; and to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@capitalrights.org. We will respond to your request within 30 days.
We do not transfer personal data outside the EEA except where appropriate safeguards are in place. Our third-party service providers (Netlify, Buttondown) maintain their own GDPR compliance measures.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). These may include the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used, the right to request deletion of your personal information, and the right to opt out of any sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@capitalrights.org.
