Privacy Policy
Last updated 9/4/2025
The National Right to Work Committee (“NRTWC”), the non-profit owner of nrtwc.org, values and respects the privacy of those who use nrtwc.org and any other web site owned or maintained by NRTWC (“website”). When you visit our website, you may provide some information to us or NRTWC may collect some information from you. This privacy policy addresses how we gather, use, and protect that information. By using the website, you consent to the processing of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy, now and as amended by us.
THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA GOVERN THIS WEBSITE AND POLICY. BY USING THIS WEBSITE, YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA OR THE CITY OF ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THIS WEBSITE OR THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
Donor and Member Policy
NRTWC believes the privacy of contributors and members is paramount. NRTWC will not share, sell, or exchange donor or member information for any purpose other than for NRTWC to process donations or to communicate with donors or members. NRTWC strives to protect its members’ and supporters’ First Amendment right to associate with NRTWC in private to promote its cause. That means opposing unconstitutional or unlawful demands for donor or member information from union officials, government officials, or others.
Information We Collect About You
Information You Provide. In using the website, you may voluntarily provide your personally identifiable information (“PII”) such as your name and contact information (including mail address, zip code, email address, telephone number) when you request or submit information, subscribe to NRTWC news updates, respond to surveys, petitions, or polls, or join NRTWC and your credit card information as well as your PII when you choose to donate to NRTWC. This information is needed to fulfill your requests.
Information Automatically Collected From You. We also may collect anonymous aggregate data about your use of our website through various tools (i.e. cookies, third-party services) that automatically obtain information from your computer or mobile or electronic device about website performance and visitor engagement. This information may include your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, which NRTWC does not link to any PII (meaning your session is anonymous to NRTWC) unless you choose to provide the site with PII, the time of visit, your general geographic location, your browser type, your operating system, the pages you view on the website, the pages you view immediately before and after you access the website, and the search terms you enter on the website as well as how many users have viewed a specific webpage. NRTWC collects IP addresses for administration purposes, one of which is to prevent certain countries’ IP addresses from accessing our site. This information allows us to recognize you and personalize your experience if you return to the website and to improve the website and the services we provide.
NRTWC also may use third-party service providers, such as Google Analytics, that may use cookies or similar technology to collect information about your online activities across this and other sites over time for non-advertising purposes. To learn more about how Google Analytics collects and processes data from sites or apps that use it and what options you have regarding control of this data collection, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.
How We Use Cookies
A “cookie” is a small text file that NRTWC’s web server saves on your computer or mobile or electronic device using your browser that is then accessed when you return to the website. Cookies can neither read any other files on your computer or mobile or electronic device nor damage your computer or mobile or electronic device.
NRTWC may use two different types of cookies—session-based and persistent cookies. Session-based cookies expire at the end of a browser session and terminate once you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your computer or mobile or electronic device until you remove them and are used to provide website analytics. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. You can also manually delete all cookies, including persistent ones, within your browser’s privacy setting menu. You can learn more about cookies here https://allaboutcookies.org/ and here https://www.godaddy.com/resources/skills/what-are-website-cookies.
If you reject or block cookies from the website, the website may not function as intended.

Nor will NRTWC disclose your PII to a third party unless NRTWC is required to do so to fulfill the purposes for which you provided your PII or by a court order, or for its own marketing purposes, to enhance its ability to contact you, for any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the PII, or with your consent.

Information Security
NRTWC has put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent the unauthorized access to, maintain the data security of, and correctly use the information you provide and that we collect online. NRTWC employees understand the need for user privacy and access to user data is strictly limited and can only be accessed by specific individuals who have the necessary username and password combination. While NRTWC takes precautions, please note that no data security protections are ever guaranteed to be 100% secure.
Children and Privacy
NRTWC’s website is a noncommercial website intended for a general audience and does not have any section directed specifically to children. We do not knowingly collect PII from children under 13, and will delete such information if we discover that it has been collected or received without parental or guardian consent.
