Placeholder — This notice describes how the website is designed to handle information. It should be reviewed by qualified counsel before public launch.
What we collect
- Experience submissions: the details you choose to share, optional name and email, location, and any documents you upload.
- Professional applications: profile information, private contact details, and supporting documents.
- Applications and inquiries: information you provide through participation and contact forms.
- Usage information: anonymous counts of directory searches and research downloads, used to improve the site.
How it is stored and who can see it
Information is stored in a secured database with access controls. Experience submissions, uploaded documents, private contact details, and applications are never publicly accessible. Only authorized staff with an assigned review role can access them, and sensitive administrative actions are recorded in an audit log.
How it is reviewed and used
- Every submission and application is reviewed by authorized staff before any information is used publicly.
- Experience submissions are used only according to the consent choices you select: internal research, follow-up contact, and anonymized publication are separate choices.
- Anonymized publication removes identifying details and happens only with your consent.
- Personal experiences and allegations are treated as personal accounts, not verified findings.
- Approved directory profiles are public, excluding private contact details.
Retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described. You may request that we delete a submission or profile by contacting us.
Placeholder — Specific retention periods and a privacy contact will be added once Society For Legal Change confirms its data retention policy.
No attorney-client relationship
Submitting information to Society For Legal Change does not establish an attorney-client relationship and does not guarantee legal assistance or representation.
