J Street and JStreetPAC Privacy Policy

We at J Street and JStreetPAC are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your visits to this website. Outlined below is our online privacy policy. If you have questions about this policy, please let us know at info@jstreet.org.

Collection and disclosure of information:
We are continually trying to expand online activism and give interested, eligible individuals the political information they need in a timely manner. For this reason, we collect some information that can be directly associated with a specific person. We call this “Personal Information,” and it includes, by way of illustration, names, addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses.

We collect Personal Information from eligible individuals who affirmatively request to receive e-mail or other services from us. We collect this Personal Information in order to provide these eligible individuals with timely information via e-mail regarding political events, resources and issues. We also collect Personal Information from those who make online contributions to the campaign, in order to process the contributions.

It is our general policy not to make Personal Information available to anyone other than our employees, staff, and agents. We may occasionally make personal information available to organizations with similar political viewpoints and objectives, in furtherance of our own objectives.

Opting out and modifying information:
Subscribers to our e-mail list may terminate their subscriptions at any time by emailing info@jstreet.org with the email subject "unsubscribe" or using the link at the bottom of any email we send out.

Browser information collected on the web site:
We log IP addresses, which are the locations of computers or networks on the Internet, and analyze them in order to improve the value of our site. We also collect aggregate numbers of page hits in order to track the popularity of certain pages and improve the value of our site. We do not gather, request, record, require, collect or track any Internet users’ Personal Information through these processes.

Privacy of our email lists:
As noted above, we maintain e-mail lists to keep interested, eligible individuals informed about important topics, and individuals must affirmatively request to join them. We configure our list server software to refuse to divulge the email addresses of our list subscribers to anyone other than those whom we authorize. However, we are not the author of this software, and are not responsible for any failures in the software to preserve subscriber anonymity.

Sharing of Information Between J Street and JStreetPAC

J Street is a 501(c)(4) organization that primarily focuses on nonpartisan education and advocacy on important national issues. JStreetPAC is a federal political committee that primarily helps members elect candidates who reflect our values through a variety of activities aimed at influencing the outcome of the next election. J Street and JStreetPAC are legally independent organizations. However, they’re both interested in promoting a new direction for American policy in the Middle East. As such, when you provide your personal information to J Street, we may rent your information to JStreetPAC, and vice versa, with the exception of credit card information with which you may provide us in order to make a donation.

Security:
We maintain a variety of physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information. For example, we use commercially reasonable tools and techniques to protect against unauthorized access to our systems. Also, we restrict access to personal information to those who need such access in the course of their duties for us.

Your own efforts to protect against unauthorized access play an important role in protecting the security of your personal information. You should be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer, and always log out of any site when viewing personal information.

We may have links to other, outside web sites that we do not control. We are not responsible for the content or privacy policies of these sites, and users should check those policies on such sites.

For example, visitors under 13 years of age should not make donations or use the J Street or JStreetPAC email tools.

Changes to this policy:
We will revise or update this policy if our practices change, or as we develop better ways to keep you informed about them. You should refer back to this page often for the latest information and the effective date of any changes. If we decide to change this policy, we will post a new policy on our site and change the date at the top. Changes to the policy shall not apply retroactively.
