Our website collects information that helps us serve you and lets you use certain features of our services. To do this, we may use cookies, web server logs, web beacons, and JavaScript.
Our website may use web, HTML5, and Flash cookies. These allow us to identify your browser and remember your information, settings, and your visits at the site. We may also use other types of local storage, such as browser- or plugin-based local storage. Most browsers give you the option of enabling, restricting, and disabling cookies. You can control Flash cookies by visiting Adobe’s FlashPlayer Settings or Settings Manager.
Note: If you disable cookies, you will not be able to use all the features of our services. For example, cookies are required for the system to remember you for purposes of completing your DACA application forms and remember the information you provided before.
To control which servers collect information, we may place tags (web beacons) on our pages. We also may send software instructions to your device that collect details of your interactions with our website, such as the kind of general information listed above.
We may use analytic services from other companies, such as Google Analytics, to learn how visitors use our Sites. These services will know your IP address or similar identifiers for our mobile applications, and they share information with us about how you use our Sites.

We use a number of outside service providers, such as cloud storage providers who store the information we collect, software developers we hire to debug or improve our program, providers who support certain features of our services that allow us to communicate with you (such as automated SMS text message providers, e-mail service providers, and live chat providers) and payment or credit card processors. These outside service providers may have limited access to your personal information to the extent necessary to provide their services. All of these service providers may only use or disclose your personal information to provide services to us or comply with legal requirements.
We may also share personal information for research, academic studies, data analysis, and reports. Information for these purposes is always aggregated and not personally identifiable. That means none of the information is linked to you or any other particular person. For example, the data we share may be used to say how many users (not the names of) live in New York.

If you do not access your account for 180 days, your account and any information you have entered may be deleted. You may also request that we close your account by contacting us at support@immi.org using the e-mail address you used to register.
We have administrative, software, and physical safeguards to protect the personal information you provide at our site against accidental, unauthorized, or illegal access, disclosure, destruction, loss, change, and other illegal use.
To protect Social Security numbers, we limit who may access SSNs, and only allow disclosure for legally allowed purposes.
Our site lists links to other websites that are not part of our organization. We list those links to make it easier for you to get information at their sites. We do not have control over the content or privacy policies at those sites. It’s a good idea to look at the Privacy Notices of those websites before you use them.
If we change our privacy policies, we will post a notice on www.immi.org. The date of the change will appear at the top of the Privacy Notice.
