Earthjustice’s Privacy Values
At Earthjustice, we believe that privacy is a fundamental expression of respect and dignity.
As a public interest law organization committed to serving our community and planet, we recognize that the trust placed in us is sacred — and protecting your personal information is a responsibility we uphold with the highest standards.
Transparency
We are open and honest about how we collect and use personal data. We clearly communicate our privacy practices and provide accessible avenues for questions or concerns.
Purpose Limitation
We collect personal information only when it is necessary to fulfill our mission, support our programs, or meet legal obligations — never for commercial exploitation or unrelated purposes.
Consent and Control
We respect individual autonomy. Whenever possible, we seek clear consent and provide choices over how data is used, stored, and shared.
Data Security
We take strong technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
Minimalism
We collect only what we need — no more, no less. We avoid asking for or retaining sensitive data unless there’s a compelling, responsible reason to do so.
Equity and Inclusion
Privacy should not be a privilege reserved for some. We work to ensure our privacy practices are inclusive and accessible for everyone, regardless of background or circumstance.
Stewardship
We consider ourselves stewards — not owners — of the data entrusted to us. Your information is not a commodity; it’s a commitment.
