For the Good of Illinois’ Privacy Policy
Your privacy on the Internet is important to us. As part of the operation and customization feature of For the Good of Illinois’ web site (“forthegoodofillinois.org”), we gather certain types of information from users, and we would like to explain the types of information we gather, what we do with them, and how to correct or change the information.

Information Collected by forthegoodofillinois.org
forthegoodofillinois.org collects two types of information from users: 1) personal data such as name, zip code, and email address – this type of information is submitted voluntarily through sign up forms on the site; and 2) aggregated data such as information about traffic patterns on forthegoodofillinois.org (for example, how many users log on to forthegoodofillinois.org on a daily basis) – this type of information is collected using tools such as Google Analytics.

Use of Cookies
forthegoodofillinois.org uses cookies to automate the process of logging on to certain areas of the site. The forthegoodofillinois.org cookie is a small data file stored on your computer that contains a single, randomly assigned user ID number. By recognizing this ID number, forthegoodofillinois.org can automatically provide you with the personalized content for which you requested. Cookies can neither read any other files on your computer, nor damage your computer. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you’d prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent.

Use of Information Collected by forthegoodofillinois.org
forthegoodofillinois.org uses both the personal and aggregated information we collect for multiple purposes. The information is used to improve the content of the site, to customize the content and/or layout of the site for each individual user, and if requested, to provide information services by email to the user. After registration, users will receive a single email message confirming registration. For the Good of Illinois will never disclose your personally identifiable information to a third party unless required to do so by court order, law or governmental agency.

Information Security at forthegoodofillinois.org
For the Good of Illinois understands the need for user privacy and forthegoodofillinois.org contracted with a team of developers to monitor privacy practices. Access to user data is strictly limited and can only be accessed by specific individuals who have the necessary username and password combination. A log is maintained to record who has accessed the data. This log is checked frequently for possible security breaches.

Children and Privacy
forthegoodofillinois.org will not contain content that is reasonably considered unsuitable for children.

Links to Other Sites
It is important to note that forthegoodofillinois.org contains links to sites other than forthegoodofillinois.org, and that those sites may not follow the same privacy policies. For instance, a link in the “Candidate News” section of forthegoodofillinois.org will take you away from forthegoodofillinois.org to an entirely different site.
