Privacy Policy

We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site.

We collect information that you voluntarily give us via the submission forms, surveys, email, or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone. We will use your information to respond to you regarding the reason you contacted us, to operate the site, and for the research, program development, and advocacy purposes described at the point of collection.

We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization other than as necessary to fulfill your request, to operate this website, or as described in the consent disclosure you accepted at the time of submission.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you in the future to tell you about programs, news, or changes to this privacy policy.

TheDream.US’s primary website uses Google Analytics to help analyze how visitors use the site. Google Analytics uses “cookies” — text files placed on your computer — to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information in an anonymous form. The anonymous information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) is transmitted to Google, used to evaluate visitors’ use of the website, and compiled into statistical reports for TheDream.US only.

We will never use Google Analytics to track or to collect any personally identifiable information. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Neither we nor Google will link, or seek to link, an IP address with the identity of a computer user. We will not associate any data gathered from this site with any personally identifiable information from any source, unless you explicitly submit that information via a fill-in form on our website.

This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.

From time to time our site requests information via surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and you may choose whether or not to participate, and therefore whether to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and email address) and demographic information (such as zip code, year of arrival, or DACA status). Survey information will be used — in aggregated and de-identified form — for purposes of documenting the impact of DACA processing delays, informing program development, and supporting advocacy efforts.

You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. You can do any of the following at any time by contacting us:

• See what data we have about you, if any.
• Change or correct any data we have about you.
• Have us delete any data we have about you.
• Express any concern you have about our use of your data.

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees and operators who need the information to perform a specific job — for example, moderation or customer service — are granted access to personally identifiable information. The servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

While reasonable measures are taken to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute confidentiality or security.

The information provided through this site — including any educational materials, summaries, or responses to your submission — is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Submission of information through this site does not create an attorney-client relationship. Individuals are encouraged to consult with a qualified immigration attorney to receive legal guidance specific to their case.

If you feel that we are not abiding by this privacy policy, or if you would like to exercise any of the rights described above, please contact us through TheDream.US’s contact form.
