Privacy Policy
The Get My Payment Illinois Coalition and the organizations that comprise the coalition, New America, Bank On Chicago, and Economic Awareness Council, are committed to protecting your online privacy. The following explains what information we collect about you, how we use it, and which choices you have regarding this information. This policy applies to all information collected from or submitted to getmypaymentillinois.org.
What We Know About You
In general, you can browse this site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. As with many websites, this site automatically recognizes your domain name, IP address, browser version, operating system, and the referring site you passed through to reach our site. These do not specifically identify you. This information is used for website traffic analysis and is treated confidentially.
Any additional information you provide us—such as your name, organization, address, telephone number, email address, and interests—is collected only upon your consent. We may ask you to share this information with us if you sign up for an event or complete a survey.
How We Use What We Learn
Information we collect is used to improve the content of our sites and to provide you with any information or support you’ve requested.
How We Use “Cookies” and Why
Our site uses cookies to improve your navigation through the site and to help us make the site more useful to you. A “cookie” is a small text file on your computer’s hard drive that our site uses to collect information about how you use our site. The cookie transmits this information back to our site each time you visit a page on our site, thus allowing us to identify our most popular pages, features, and data. We use this information to improve our site to more effectively meet your needs.
Our site uses cookies to communicate with Google Analytics for web traffic analysis. These third-party cookies are collected and managed anonymously and do not contain any personally identifying information. To best serve you, our Google Analytics data retention does not automatically expire.
You can control or delete cookies as you wish. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer, and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed.
Choices You Have
If you wish to opt out of receiving communications from us at any time, please let us know by emailing, calling, or writing us (see contact information below). You can also contact dpo@newamerica.org to request to see your personal data, to request that we correct or delete your personal data, or to raise a complaint about how we have handled your personal data. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority in your home country.
How We Will Protect Your Personal Information
We take appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial measures to ensure that we keep your information secure, accurate, and up-to-date. We will keep your data only as long as is reasonable and necessary or until you ask us to delete it.
We will keep your information confidential except where disclosure is required or permitted by law (for example, to government bodies and law enforcement agencies).
We may use third parties to process your information on our behalf. Visitors should consult the privacy policies of those third parties, includingGoogle Analytics and Qualtrics.

Overall Privacy and Security
The privacy and security of your personal information is very important to us. We will not sell, share, or trade your name or personal information with any other entity, nor send mailings to our donors on behalf of other organizations. This policy applies to all information received by the Get My Payment Coalition, Economic Awareness Council, Bank On Chicago and New America, both online and offline, as well as through any electronic, written, or oral communications.
