The Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice respects your privacy and has instituted policies intended to ensure that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner. We may use this information to deliver information to you about our Foundation as well as for trend analysis, pattern detection, and website administration. Your information may also be used to contact you. Non-personal demographic and profile data is used to tailor your experience at our website, showing you content we think you might be interested in. Occasionally, the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice may contact visitors who have voluntarily provided their personally identifiable information through the website to conduct surveys seeking feedback about their experience on the website. These surveys are used for quality assurance purposes to improve our level of customer service. The data collected may be shared with third parties on an aggregated basis.
We will only disclose personally identifiable information to third parties when: (i) the person submitting the information authorizes us to do so; (ii) sharing the information is a necessary operation of the website (i.e. to process credit card information); and (iii) we are required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice or the website, (b) protect and defend the rights or property of the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice, the website or the visitors to the website, and/or (c) prevent or mitigate harm or potential harm or damage of any type to visitors to the website or the public.

Astraea maintains data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures to help protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of your personal information.

We only store basic contact information which we retain indefinitely.
When you register on our website, we might store some information on your computer in the form of a “cookie” (i.e. a small piece of text that stores information on your browser in your computer’s hard drive) or similar file. We do this to collect information about your activities on the website, make it possible for you to keep track of items you wish to purchase on our website, deliver to you content that is specific to your interests, and/or to prevent you from re-entering all your registration data at each connection. We also use conversion tracking cookies as part of our ad campaigns in order to analyze trends, gather broad demographic information, and monitor site traffic patterns that can help us further develop and improve the design and functionality of our site. The cookies shall only be used to obtain non-personal information to improve your online experience. No other information is stored in these cookies. You can set your browser to block or notify you when you receive a cookie and delete any cookies you receive. Blocking cookies may interfere with the proper functioning of some parts of the website.
Our website has industry standard high encryption security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. The Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice makes every effort to protect your online order information by using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. SSL encrypts your order information to avoid the decoding of that information by anyone other than the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice. We do not store your credit card information.
Protecting the privacy of minors is important to Astraea. For that reason Astraea does not collect information from those Astraea knows are under 16 and no part of the Website is intended to specifically attract anyone under 16. If Astraea becomes aware of having information about anyone under 16, Astraea will promptly delete the information.
