Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the website for the Lead Exposure Action Fund, which is offered by Open Philanthropy (referred to here as “we” or “us”): https://leadexposureactionfund.org (the “Site”). The purpose of the Privacy Policy is to explain to you, as a user of the Site (“User”), what information we collect from you through the Site and how we may use, share, and store that information.

Below we describe how we may collect information from you when you use the Site, and how we may use and share that information. By using the Site, you are accepting the terms of this Privacy Policy, so please read this entire Privacy Policy before using the Site.

How we collect and use information

We collect information from Site Users in two main ways: from our web server logs and through the use of cookies.

Analytics information

We use third-party analytics tools and services such as Google Analytics, to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Site. When you visit the Site, these tools collect information sent by your browser or mobile device, including the pages you visit and other information related to your time spent on the Site. We collect and use analytics information such that it cannot reasonably be manipulated to identify any particular individual user.

Web Server Log Information

We may collect information from our web server logs. Such information could include:

  • Your Internet protocol address
  • The kind of browser or computer you use
  • The number of links you click within the Site
  • The state or country from which you accessed the site
  • The date and time of your visit
  • The name of your Internet service provider
  • The web page through which you linked to our site
  • The pages of our site that you viewed

We use this information to help improve your experience on the Site and to understand User preferences generally.

Cookies Information

Additionally, we may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a website, a cookie helps the website to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality.

A session cookie is temporary and disappears after you close your browser. You can reset your web browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Open Philanthropy reserves the right to share the Site’s aggregated analytics data with partner organizations, but we do not allow other organizations to place cookies on our website. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings, this may disable some of the functionality on the Site.

Security

You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. Consequently, we cannot ensure the security of any information that you transmit to us. In particular, information sent via e-mail may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you choose to send to us via e-mail.

Third-Party Sites

Throughout our website(s), we offer links to third-party sites. Since we do not control those websites, we do not control what information they collect, or what they do with such information. As such, we encourage you to review their privacy policies as well.

Changes to this Policy

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will revise the “updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. Your continued use of the Site constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any updates.
