Catalyst Chicago is committed to protecting your privacy. Our web site, www.catalyst-chicago.org is a general audience web site, intended for users of all ages. Personal information of all users is collected, used and disclosed as described in this Statement of Privacy.

The information we gather from users
The only personally identifiable information we collect is what you supply us through online registration or order forms. This includes your name, e-mail address, street address, telephone number and some demographic information, such as affiliation, special interests, location, gender and income. Our web server, however, automatically collects certain information regarding your visit, including IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring web site addresses. We use this general information only for traffic statistics and similar internal purposes. E-mail addresses are not collected by our web server.

How we use the information gathered
We may use your information for marketing of our own products to you or for sending messages on behalf of our affiliates, including the Community Renewal Society, Catalyst Cleveland, and The Chicago Reporter. We may also occasionally do so for outside organizations, but we never share personal information with other organizations for commercial or any other purpose.

We may contract outside companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings, providing customer support, processing transactions, or performing statistical analysis of our services. We will provide those companies only the personal information they need to deliver the service. They are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here.
