This website (the “Web Site”) is operated by naomiklein.org (“we”, “us” and/or “our”) and has been created to accomplish our mission of informing readers and the public about her writing, her biography, her public engagements and related projects and interests, with the help of Web Site visitors (“you”, “your”).
This Privacy Policy sets forth our policy with respect to information that is collected from you. We’ve updated our Privacy Policy & Terms of Use as of 8/8/2019 to support GDPR. Digital and development teams at naomiklein.org understand GDPR regulations, and we have assigned a data protection manager who can be reached at any time at jackie@theleap.org.
General Policy
naomiklein.org has a firm commitment to internet privacy.
You can visit most portions of naomiklein.org without telling us who you are and without revealing any personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”). The only information we collect from a normal Web Site visit is information that cannot be used to specifically identify you (“Non-Personal Information”), which usually includes the name of your internet service provider, the browser and type of machine you are using, the website that referred you to us, the pages you request and the date and time you request them.
Personal Information
Naomiklein.org will carefully consider what data we’re collecting and create clear internal guidelines on data collection that match the standards in which we treat our own data.
We will make certain that each supporter (not only in the EU) gives valid, freely given, specific, informed and active consent for all our online actions and engagement to achieve the highest standards of privacy for naomiklein.org readers.
The only time we collect Personal Information is when you voluntarily provide such information, such as when you contact us with inquiries, respond to one of our surveys, or register to participate in certain projects or campaigns. Wherever we collect Personal Information we make an effort to provide a link to this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to voluntarily share Personal Information with us because we want you to stay informed of Naomi Klein’s projects that you may be interested in. By voluntarily providing us with Personal Information, you are consenting to our use of it in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Every time we ask you to take action with us, you not only have the ability to unsubscribe at any time but has the power to permanently and completely delete your supporter profile if we’ve gathered it to optimize our engagement with you by contacting jackie@theleap.org or replying to any email we send you.
How We Use the Information
When you opt-in to receiving communications from us, you are consenting to:
- Receiving email updates from Naomi Klein including important online and offline calls to action, announcements, fundraising appeals, and other breaking news and analysis.
- Granting naomiklein.org the ability to collect and use your behavioural and demographic data to better understand what supporters like you need to stay active with us in the struggle to fight climate change and transform our economy into one based on caring for the earth and one another.
Non-Personal Information
We use the Non-Personal Information collected to generate statistics and measure Web Site activity in order to improve our impact in this work, and make our Web Site a stronger tool for our visitors.
Personal Information
We use the Personal Information you provide in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Information for a certain reason, we may use the Personal Information in connection with the reason for which it was provided. For example, if you sign up to get information about upcoming events about Naomi Klein, we will use your Personal Information to send you updates and other information about what is happening in your region – in some cases we may share your information with trusted local leaders who are organizing around Naomi’s work if you have indicated interest in staying informed on your local issues. If we intend on using any Personal Information in any manner that is not consistent with this Privacy Policy, we will inform you of the anticipated use before the Personal Information is collected.
