Your privacy is important to us. This privacy policy provides information about the different types of personal information that we collect and the ways in which we use it. This privacy policy applies to all those who interact with us online (particularly through the website justiceroundtable.org and any other website we own or operate) or whose personal information we otherwise collect.

  1. When you give it to us directly. For example, if you provide us with your email address to sign up to receive our news updates.
  2. When we obtain it indirectly. Your personal information may be shared with us by third parties such as recruitment agencies when we are recruiting staff and vetting agencies when we gather information on grant applicants. To the extent that we have not done so already and that we are required to, we will notify you when we receive personal information about you from them, and tell you how and why we intend to use that personal information.

  3. What personal information do we use?

  We may collect, store, and otherwise process the following kinds of personal information:

  • your full name and contact details, including email address, postal address, and telephone number;
  • profile information and user name if you register on our website;
  • information you provide when you are considered as a contractor which may include education and work experience, employment information, images of your signature, and information about the services you may provide;

  • information about your professional status and role4. What information do we collect automatically online?
• We will also collect certain information automatically every time you interact with our website. We do this through server log files, cookies, and pixel tags.For instance, we identify and log the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the device you use to access our website automatically in our server log files whenever you visit our website, along with the time of your visit and pages you visit. While the intention of such a practice is to calculate website usage levels and to help us diagnose problems with the website’s servers, we recognize that an IP address is also an online identifier which can be used to create profiles of individuals behind devices. Thus, if we combine non-personal information with personal information, we will treat the combined information as personal information as long as it is combined.
