New Roots Institute (“New Roots Institute”, “we”, or “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our supporters and the personal information provided to or collected by us. This Privacy Policy explains the way we collect information from you, how it is used, and with whom it may be shared. It also identifies the security procedures in place to protect your information and what choices are available to you regarding the use of your data. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “personal information” shall mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
This Privacy Policy applies to the personal information collected by New Roots Institute when you interact with our websites or through other channels (for example, by communicating with us or attending one of our events); use or participate in our services or products (for example, the Leadership Program; and use any other digital media, sites, or services that link to this Privacy Policy (for example, our surveys and forms) (collectively, “engaging with us” or “engage with us”).
This privacy policy applies to each person who engages with us. Each time you engage with us, the current version of the Privacy Policy will apply. We update this Privacy Policy from time to time and we encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. We will post any Privacy Policy changes on this page. If at any point we decide to use personal information in a manner materially different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify you (provided we have an email for you). You will then have a choice as to whether or not we may use your information in this manner. We will use information in accordance with the Privacy Policy under which the information was collected.
If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you should not use our websites or other channels, services, or any other digital media, sites, or services that link to this Privacy Policy.
New Roots Institute does not share or sell your personal information.
We collect two types of information about you: personal information (such as, your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address) and non-personal, aggregate information (such as information regarding the pages you have visited and your IP address).
We collect information when you engage with us. This information may include, without limitation, your name, phone number, email address, and/or mailing address. New Roots Institute partners with HubSpot Inc., a customer relationship management platform, to collect and process much of this information. More about HubSpot Inc.’s privacy policy can be found on their website.
New Roots Institute does not see, store, or retain credit card numbers submitted online, which are processed directly through our payment processor partners (primarily Stripe and PayPal).

Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your web browser by a website you visit. A cookie file is stored in your web browser and allows the service or a third-party to recognize you and make your next visit easier and the service more useful to you. Cookies can be "persistent" or "session" cookies.
New Roots Institute uses cookies to help us monitor traffic and collect information about the use of our sites. When you engage with us, we may place a number of cookies files in your web browser.
We use cookies to enable certain functions of our sites, to provide analytics, and to store your preferences.
We use both session and persistent cookies on our sites and we use different types of cookies:
New Roots Institute also uses Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. Google Analytics uses its own cookies. It is only used to improve how our services work. You can find out more information about Google Analytics cookies here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage
You can typically remove or reject cookies via your browser settings. In order to do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually located within the “settings”, “help”, “tools”, or “edit” facility). Many browsers are set to accept cookies until you change your settings.
If you wish to opt-out of interest-based cookies for advertisements, visit the National Advertising Initiative's website here: https://optout.networkadvertising.org/.

We may also use pixel tags (which are also known as web beacons and clear GIFs) on our sites to track the actions of users on our sites. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device by a website, pixel tags are embedded invisibly on webpages. Pixel tags measure the success of our marketing campaigns and compile statistics about usage of the sites, so that we can manage our content more effectively. The information we collect using pixel tags is not linked to our users’ personal information.
The California Online Privacy Protection Act protects your right to visit our website anonymously. Some Internet browsers - like Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari - include the ability to transmit “Do Not Track” or “DNT” signals. Since uniform standards for “DNT” signals have not been adopted, our websites do not currently process or respond to “DNT” signals. New Roots Institute takes privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard. To learn more about “DNT”, please visit All About Do Not Track. If you would like to opt out of Google Analytics specifically, try this browser add-on: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
