Privacy Policy

The LCV family of organizations includes the League of Conservation Voters, LCV Action Fund, LCV Accountability Project, and LCV Education Fund.  Each of these affiliated organizations plays its own important role in mobilizing citizens to protect the environment.  The LCV family of organizations strongly believes that if electronic advocacy, education and other online activities are to flourish, Internet users must be assured that information provided online is used responsibly and appropriately.  To protect online privacy, we have implemented the following policy, which applies to all websites maintained by the LCV family of organizations.

Personally Identifiable Information: 
We will not collect any personally identifiable information about you, such as your name, email address, credit card or other information, unless we explicitly request the information and you choose to provide it.  We use your personal information to send you email alerts, respond to questions or requests and process online donations.  If such information is collected, it may be shared within our family of organizations and other closely aligned groups for the purposes of responding to any comments or questions you submit and to provide any follow-up information about our organizations and our issues. It also may be shared with an outside company to fulfill any request you have made to us, such as charging your membership dues to your credit card.  You can always "opt-out" of LCV's online communications to keep from receiving unwanted emails.

With respect to cookies:
We use cookies to store visitors preferences, record session information, alert visitors to new areas that we think might be of interest to them when they return to our site, and record past activity at a site in order to provide better service when visitors return to our site.  Be aware that our online partners who provide certain features related to our websites, including Capitol Advantage which supports the "Take Action" page on the main LCV site, may utilize cookies in other ways.  Please review Capitol Advantage's privacy policy for more information.
