Privacy Policy & Terms

Skip to Terms & Conditions

This Privacy Policy sets forth the practices in effect at the Southern Poverty Law Center to protect the privacy of its website visitors and financial supporters, as well as recipients of its print publications. This Policy also outlines how you can update your information or receive additional information.

Protecting your information
The SPLC uses electronic security systems to protect any records containing personal identifying information and limits the number of people who have access to such information. Business partners with whom the SPLC may share personal information during the course of usual business must abide by confidentiality agreements, which forbid the disclosure of any personal identifying information to additional parties.

Online Giving
The SPLC's online donation process occurs in a secure portion of the SPLCenter.org website. Submissions are encrypted and secure from outside users via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, the industry standard for secure online transactions. All personal information - including credit card number, name, and address - is encrypted so it cannot be read as it travels over the Internet.

The SPLC wants you to have positive experiences at its websites - SPLCenter.org and LearningForJustice.org - and to understand your privacy rights while on its websites. If you do not agree with the terms outlined below, do not access the SPLC's websites.

Non-Personal Identifying Information
The SPLC collects and uses non-personal identifying information, including IP addresses and web server log files. It also uses "cookies," small pieces of information used to identify individual computers accessing a website.

The SPLC uses this information only in the aggregate. It does not combine non-personal identifying information with personal identifying information, commonly known as "online profiling." At no time is personal information stored in a cookie.

The SPLC collects non-personal identifying information from websites in the aggregate. It uses this information to assess aggregate visitor volume and interest, i.e. which site pages are being visited most frequently.

The SPLC shares aggregated, non-identifying, demographic information about the websites' usage with its sponsors and partners. For example, the SPLC might disclose to its donors that 1,000,000 people visited SPLCenter.org in a given year.

Personal Identifying Information
If you voluntarily provide personal identifying information (such as a first and last name, physical address including a street name, e-mail address, etc.) through online forms, the SPLC will collect and retain this information.

The personal identifying information will be used to establish the identity of account holders in order to respond to inquiries or to deliver requested information or services. For example, if you subscribe to one of the SPLC's e-newsletters, the SPLC will store your name and e-mail address and send the requested e-newsletters to the e-mail address.

The SPLC does not make personal identifying information gathered on its websites available to other organizations, but may share information with business partners, in the usual course of business. For example, the SPLC may use a third-party vendor to electronically distribute its e-newsletters. In order to send the e-newsletters, the SPLC must share the e-mail address of subscribers with the vendor. Vendors that provide such services are obligated only to use this information for the purposes for which the SPLC directs them to use it; namely, providing services directly for the SPLC.

Protecting Children's Privacy
On web pages that are directed toward children under the age of 13, the SPLC limits its collection of information to non-personal identifying information, such as first name, grade, hometown and state, in an effort to comply voluntarily with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.

The SPLC does not knowingly collect and retain personal identifying information from persons under the age of 13 and has safeguards in place to attempt to ensure it does not inadvertently collect and retain such information.

The SPLC strongly urges children to check with their parents before entering information on its websites, and it urges parents to discuss with their children restrictions concerning the online release of personal identifying information to anyone they do not know.

Links

This policy applies only to the SPLCenter.org and LearningForJustice.org domains. The SPLC does not control the privacy policies of other websites to which the SPLC might link.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is committed to maintaining the confidence and trust of its financial supporters.

The SPLC collects the personal information that supporters provide. After someone donates to the SPLC, his or her information is added to the SPLC's membership list. The SPLC uses this information to keep donors informed about the progress of its programs through print and online mailings and to encourage donors' continued financial support of its work.

The SPLC shares donor information with business partners as required in the usual course of business. For example, the SPLC may use a vendor to assist in the generation and distribution of written communications to donors.

The SPLC makes its membership list available to reputable charities and businesses whose information we believe may be of interest to our members. Our ability to share your name with other entities will help build our supporter base. Sharing our list with others is the most cost-efficient way to find new supporters. We hope you agree. The option is yours. If you do not want your name used in this fashion, please let us know. You may contact us via this website by using our contact form. Please include your full name and address with your request.

As part of its public service, the SPLC publishes and distributes magazines, handbooks and multimedia kits to help equip teachers, human rights workers, law enforcement and others with tools and resources to promote tolerance in their communities. This portion of the Privacy Policy outlines the SPLC's privacy practices that relate to people who receive those products.

In order to receive SPLC products, an individual must provide personal identifying information (such as a first and last name, physical address including a street name, e-mail address, etc.) The SPLC will collect and retain this information.

The SPLC does not make the personal identifying information of people who order its products available to other organizations.

The personal identifying information is used to establish the identity of recipients, deliver requested products to recipients and make recipients aware of additional or new SPLC products that might interest them. In order to evaluate the usefulness of its materials, the SPLC may also contact, by phone, e-mail or regular mail, persons who have ordered its products.

The SPLC may share information with business partners in the usual course of business. For example, the Center may use a vendor to help distribute products.

The SPLC does not disclose individual order histories, but may disclose aggregated order histories for its products. For example, the SPLC would not disclose that "John Doe ordered a copy of this magazine", but could disclose that 300,000 copies of that magazine were ordered.

Copyright Policy

Reporting Claims of Copyright Infringement

We take claims of copyright infringement seriously. The copyright policy applicable to User-Generated Content is available through SPLC’s vendor, Disqus, at http://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/466260-terms-of-service.  As stated in Disqus’s policies, if you believe any User-Generated Content on the Websites infringe your copyright, you may request removal of those materials (or access thereto) from the Websites by submitting written notification to Disqus in accordance with the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) ("DMCA").  The procedures for submitting a notice to Disqus under the DMCA are outlined in Disqus’s Terms of Service available at http://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/466260-terms-of-service.

SPLC assumes no liability for User-Generated Content

The SPLC has a right, but not a duty, to monitor, edit, and delete User-Generated Content.  SPLC takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User-Generated Content that you or any other User or third party posts or sends over the Websites. You shall be solely responsible for your User-Generated Content and the consequences of posting or publishing it, and you agree that we are only acting as a passive conduit for your online distribution and publication of your User-Generated Content. You understand and agree that you may be exposed to User-Generated Content that is inaccurate, objectionable, inappropriate for children, or otherwise unsuited to your purpose, and you agree that SPLC shall not be liable for any damages you allege to incur as a result of content on the Websites, including any User-Generated Content.

Monitoring 

We may monitor activity on the Websites to foster compliance with the User Agreement. You hereby specifically agree to such monitoring. Nevertheless, we do not make any representations, warranties or guarantees that: (1) the Websites, or any portion thereof, will be monitored for accuracy or unacceptable use, (2) apparent statements of fact will be authenticated, or (3) we will take any specific action (or any action at all) in the event of a challenge or dispute regarding compliance or non-compliance with the Agreement. We generally do not pre-screen User-Generated Content before it is posted, uploaded, transmitted, sent or otherwise made available on or through the Websites by Users, so you may be exposed to User-Generated Content that is offensive, and/or inappropriate, including User-Generated Content that violates the User Agreement.

Editing, Additions and Deletions

We reserve the right, but undertake no duty, in our sole discretion, with or without notice, to review, edit, move, add, delete, or otherwise change any features, functionality, and/or User-Generated Content available on or through, or downloadable from, the Websites.  Even after User-Generated Content is removed from the Websites, whether such removal or deletion is by you or by us, copies of that User-Generated Content may be retained and/or remain viewable by us, our licensors, vendors, service providers and/or other third parties, including other users.

The SPLC is not responsible for the consequences of your User-Generated Content

Please be aware that any User-Generated Content you disclose in publicly accessible portions of the Websites may be available to other users, so you should be mindful of personally identifiable information and sensitive content you may wish to post. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF CONTENT OR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION YOU POST, UPLOAD, TRANSMIT, SEND OR OTHERWISE MAKE AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITES. 

The SPLC can use User-Generated Content for any purpose

By posting, uploading, transmitting, sending or otherwise making available User-Generated Content, or engaging in any other form of communication with us (on or through the Websites or otherwise) you irrevocably grant us a royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive, unrestricted, worldwide right and license to copy, reproduce, modify, edit, crop, alter, revise, adapt, translate, enhance, reformat, remix, rearrange, resize, create derivative works of, move, remove, delete, erase, reverse-engineer, store, cache, aggregate, publish, post, display, distribute, broadcast, perform, transmit, rent, sell, share, sublicense, syndicate, or otherwise provide to others, use, or change all such User-Generated Content and communications, in any medium (now in existence or hereinafter developed) and for any purpose, including commercial purposes, and to authorize others to do so. Among other things, this means that we may use any ideas, suggestions, developments, and/or inventions that you post, upload, transmit, send or otherwise make available in any manner as we see fit without any compensation or attribution to you.

Breach of the Agreement

If you breach, violate, fail to follow, or act inconsistently with the rules, restrictions, limitations, terms and/or conditions that apply to the Websites, whether listed in this User Agreement, the Privacy Policy, posted at various points in the Websites, or otherwise communicated to users of the Websites (collectively, the "Agreement"), we may terminate, discontinue, suspend, and/or restrict your account/profile, your ability to access, visit, and/or use the Websites or any portion thereof, with or without notice, in addition to our other remedies.

You acknowledge and agree that we have the right hereunder to an injunction without posting a bond to stop or prevent a breach or violation of your obligations under the Agreement.

Disputes and Jurisdiction

The Websites are based in the United States. The websites are not designed, customized or intended for, or directed to, any other country. Those who choose to access, visit and/or use the Websites do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. We make no representation, warranty or guarantee that the Websites or content available on or through the Websites are appropriate, available, or legal in any particular geographic location.

In any dispute between us, your sole remedy is to stop using the Websites. This includes any dispute related to or arising out of: (i) rules, restrictions, limitations, terms and conditions that apply to the Websites, whether listed in this User Agreement and Privacy Policy, through Disqus’s incorporated Terms of Service, posted at various points in the Websites, or otherwise communicated to you, including our enforcement, non-enforcement, or application of any such rules; (ii) any of our policies and/or practices, including our enforcement, non-enforcement, or application of any such policies and/or practices; (iii) any content available on or through the Websites, or any edits, deletions, additions, or other changes thereto; or (iv) your ability or inability to access, visit and/or use portions of the Websites, or the Websites as a whole, or features, functionality, and/or content available on or through the Websites.

You agree that in the event of any dispute between us, you will first contact us and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation any court action. In the event of any court action, all disputes will be resolved individually, without resort to any class action. Furthermore, you agree that any cause of action must commence within one (1) year after the underlying issue first arose; otherwise, you waive any right to bring such cause of action and such cause of action is permanently barred.

Governing Law.

You agree that: (i) the Websites shall be deemed solely based in Alabama; and (ii) the Websites shall be deemed passive ones that do not give rise to personal jurisdiction over SPLC, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than Alabama. This User Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of Alabama, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state or federal court located in Montgomery County, Alabama for any claims.

ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of the Agreement, or portion thereof, to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision or portion will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of the Agreement will continue to be valid and enforceable in full force and effect.

THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SECTION APPLIES WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF SPLC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THESE TERMS GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. THE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY UNDER THESE TERMS WILL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

The Websites are controlled and operated from its facilities in the United States. SPLC makes no representations that the Websites are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Websites from other jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are entirely responsible for compliance with all applicable United States and local laws and regulations.

Assignment

These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by SPLC without restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall be null and void.
