Privacy Policy
SEIU strongly believes in the importance of your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how the Service Employees International Union (“SEIU”) collects, uses and discloses information with respect to your use of the website located at https://www.seiu.org , as well as other websites and applications that are owned and/or operated by the Service Employees International Union or its related entities or affiliates (collectively “SEIU”) that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”). By using or accessing the Services, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Before you use or submit any information in connection with the Services, carefully review this Privacy Policy. By using the Services, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as outlined below. The terms “you” or “user” refer to all individuals and entities accessing the Services for any reason. The terms “us” or “we” refer to SEIU.
How, When, and Why We Collect and Share Information
The information we collect from you and about you depends on how you use the Services and the information you provide to SEIU. We collect information in three main ways: (1) information you choose to provide to us; (2) information we collect automatically through technology when you use the Services; and (3) information we collect from others.
Information You Provide To Us
We collect information about our users when users choose to provide that information to us. For example, we collect information from users when they sign up to receive updates from us via autodialer, email or text, when they order SEIU merchandise online, or when they donate to the Committee on Political Education (“COPE”).
We may also collect username and passwords when users create accounts to use some of our Services. The kinds of information we collect may include your name, your email address, number, your date of birth, and the state where you work. We collect information when users register and/or apply to become an associate member of SEIU or to permit SEIU to collect money on their behalf. Your membership, association and any payment terms are covered by the specific terms applicable to those organizations and which have been provided to you by those organizations or payment systems. If you decide to register, we use a persistent cookie that stores certain information to make it easier for you to login when you come back to the Services. Certain information such as a user specific authentication token with a set expiration date may be stored in that cookie.
We may also collect your social media handles, your preferred language, and any other information you provide to us in connection with your use of the Services. Sometimes you may provide the information to a trusted third party on our behalf instead of directly to us. In such circumstances, the third party’s privacy policy and terms apply as to how it collects and processes the information you provide.
From time to time, we may conduct polls, surveys or seek to collect information via Every Action (or similar successor entities we may contract with), such as stories or quotes or other responses. Information collected through our polls, surveys, Every Action and/or questionnaires is generally used in the aggregate and we usually request permission to use your individual responses for a particular purpose. However, if you choose to submit information or documents to us, we reserve the right to use it on internal and external publications without or without your permission.
Information that Is Passively and Automatically Collected
You can view content on the Services without registering or providing any personal information. When you visitthe Services, we may automatically receive and record information from your device. This information allows us to understand how people are navigating and using our Services and how we can improve your experience based on the in formation we collect. The types of information we may collect include, by way of example only, your IP address, browser type, browser language, operating system, state or country from which you accessed the Services, software and hardware attributes (including device IDs), referring and exit pages and URLs, platform type, the number of clicks, files you download, pages viewed, the amount of time spent on particular pages, whether you subscribed to the RSS feed, the date and time you used the Services, error logs and other similar information. From your IP address, we may be able to infer your general location (e.g., city and state or postal code).
We may use third-party analytics providers and technologies, such as cookies, web beacons, or scripts, to help us collect the data described above. We may use pixel tags and/or trackable links in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened and/or clicked on by recipients. We use the term “cookie” in the broad sense to include all similar techniques and technologies. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your device when you visit a website that stores certain information about your website usage. For example, cookies enable us to recognize your device; store your preferences and settings; enhance your user experience by delivering content specific to your interests; perform searches and analytics; and assist with security administrative functions.
You can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether. If you disable cookies, some functionality of the Services may be impaired.
Information We Collect from Others
We may receive additional information about you from third parties and other sources, such as from public records, marketers, researchers, analysts, social media networks, data aggregators, and other organizations. We may combine this information with information we collect directly from you to derive your possible interests and to provide a more relevant experience for you and to improve the Services.
Furthermore, if you choose to provide us with access to certain personal information stored by third parties such as social media sites (e.g., Facebook or Tiktok), then you must know that the information we receive varies by site and is controlled by that site. By associating an account managed by a third party with usage of the Services you are authorizing SEIU to have access to this information, and you agree that SEIU may collect, store and use this information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
When We Disclose Your Information
We may disclose your information to or with third parties under the following circumstances:
-
With Consent. We may disclose your information with your consent.
-
Affiliated Entities. We may disclose information to divisions and projects within SEIU, its related family of entities, as well as State and Local Affiliates.
-
To Service Providers. We may provide access to or disclose your information to select third parties that perform services for us to help us run SEIU. These may include, for example, entities that provide payment processing, marketing, help desk software and email services, advertising, security, research and analytics, and legal services.
-
With Collaborators and Other Select Entities. We may disclose your information to other entities with whom we may collaborate, such as the AFL-CIO or other organizations.
-
Protection of SEIU and Others. SEIU may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that disclosure is permitted by this Privacy Policy or reasonably necessary or appropriate for any of the following reasons:
-
to comply with legal process;
-
to enforce our legal terms, including this Policy, as well as investigation of potential violations thereof;
-
to respond to your requests for assistance;
-
to respond to claims that our content violates the rights of third parties; and/or
-
to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of SEIU, its agents and affiliates, users, and the public. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection, spam/malware prevention, and similar purposes.
-
-
Organizational Transfers. If we participate in a merger, trusteeship, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other transfer or reorganization of assets (including in contemplation thereof, e.g., due diligence), we may disclose your information because user information collected through the Services may be among the transferred assets.
-
Aggregated Data. We may disclose aggregated and de-identified information.
-
If Legally Required. We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. If we receive a subpoena requesting information about you and if you have provided us with your email address, we will attempt to notify you of the subpoena at the email address that you have provided, if it is lawful for SEIU to do so.
Access of Services via Mobile Device
SEIU may offer the ability for users to connect with the Services using a mobile device, either through a mobile application or via a mobile optimized website. The provisions of this Privacy Policy apply to all such mobile access and use of mobile devices. When you download or use our mobile applications, or access one of our mobile optimized sites, we may receive information about your location and your mobile device, including a unique identifier for your device. We may use this information to provide you with location-based services, such as advertising, search results, and other personalized content. Most mobile devices allow you to control or disable location services in the device's settings menu. If you have questions about how to disable your device's location services, we recommend you contact your mobile service carrier or the manufacturer of your particular device.
Information Security and Data Integrity
How we Protect Your Information
We are committed to protecting your information and SEIU has administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to systems where we store personal data. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect and store. However, we cannot and do not guarantee that these measures will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose your information because, despite our efforts, no Internet and/or other electronic transmissions can be completely secure.
Retention of Your Information
We retain information for different lengths of time, depending on the purposes for which we collect and use the information. We may delete or de-identify information when it is no longer needed to fulfill these purposes, unless a longer retention period is required to comply with applicable laws. If there are technical or other reasons why we are unable to fully delete or de-identify your information, we will take reasonable measures to prevent further processing of your information.
Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data
The laws in some jurisdictions require that website operators tell you about the legal grounds they rely on to use or disclose your information. To the extent those laws apply, our legal grounds for processing your information are as follows:
-
Where use of your information is necessary to perform our obligations to you;
-
Where use of your information is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of others (for example, to provide security for our Services; to provide the services we provide through our Services; to defend our legal rights; to analyze the use of our Services; to improve our services);
-
Where we have a reason to process the information in accordance with applicable law;
-
Where we have your consent to engage in a particular type of processing activity.
Online Analytics
We may use third-party web analytics services (such as those of Google Analytics) in connection with the Services to collect and analyze the information discussed above, and to engage in auditing, research, or reporting. The information (including your IP address) collected by various analytics technologies described in the “Information that Is Passively and Automatically Collected” section will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Services, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive, analyzing usage trends, assisting with fraud prevention, and providing certain features to you. Information about how Google uses information collected from sites that use its services is located at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
If you are interested in more information about these online advertising activities, and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your device to deliver tailored advertising, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link at https://optout.networkadvertising.org or the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link at https://optout.aboutads.info, to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs. We do not control these opt-out links or whether any particular company chooses to participate in these opt-out programs. We are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms. Please note that if you use these mechanisms, you may still see advertising on our Services or across the Internet, but it will not be tailored to you based on your online behavior over time.
Privacy Rights
Individuals in some jurisdictions have certain legal rights with respect to their information. They can request, among other potential rights, that we (i) provide access to and/or a copy of certain information that we hold about them, (ii) update information that is incorrect, (iii) delete certain information that we hold about them, (iv) restrict the way we process and disclose certain information, and (v) revoke consent for the processing of their information.
The quickest way to stop receiving emails is to click the unsubscribe button on any emails that you receive from SEIU. The quickest way to unsubscribe from text messages is to text “stop” or “s” in response to any text messages you may receive from SEIU. You can also unsubscribe from emails and text messages by filling out this form.
To exercise these rights, please email us at privacy@seiu.org with the nature of your request. We will consider all requests and will provide a response within the time period set by applicable law. Please be aware that certain information may be exempt from such requests. In addition, we may ask that you provide us with information necessary for us to confirm your identity before responding to your request. While SEIU will endeavor to comply with all such requests, we do not control any third party that may have supplied or received information from SEIU and you will need to contact those third parties regarding your information.
Once we receive your request, we will delete, modify or correct your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us to: Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities, debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality, or to comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.) or other legal obligation.
Information Sales/Processing for Online Targeted Advertising
Under the laws in certain U.S. states, you may also have the right to opt out of our processing or disclosure of your information for online targeted advertising purposes. Note that certain state laws also allow you to opt out of the “sale” of your information to third parties in exchange for valuable consideration. We may use analytics and online advertising tools that result in the disclosure of your information to third parties and that are subject to this opt out right. You may opt-out from these activities as explained above in the sections above entitled “Online Analytics” and “Online Advertising.”
Children’s Privacy
The Services are intended for general audiences and are not directed at children. If we become aware that we have collected information without legally valid parental consent from children under an age where such consent is required under applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it as soon as possible.
Third Party Sites
Our Website may also permit you to access non-SEIU sites. It is important to remember that, if you link to a non-SEIU site from our Website, that party's privacy policy and its user agreement apply to you, not this Privacy Policy. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. Therefore, we encourage our users to be aware when they leave our Services and to learn about each third party's privacy policy before giving personal information to them.
Revisions to Privacy Policy
We will continue to review this Privacy Policy and we may make changes to the Policy from time to time. The date at the bottom of this page indicates the last time changes were made. You should check this page periodically for updates. If we make material changes to this Policy, we will provide you with notice as required by law. Your continued use of the Services will signify that you have read, understood, and accepted the terms of the updated Privacy Policy.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, the Services, or your account, please feel free to contact us at info@seiu.org.
