Privacy Policy

Peace in Our Cities is a joint venture among Pathfinders for Peaceful, Just, and Inclusive Societies at New York University’s Center on International Cooperation, the Kroc School’s Institute for Peace and Justice at the University of San Diego, and the Stanley Center for Peace and Security. This site is owned by The Stanley Foundation (d/b/a Stanley Center for Peace and Security) and operated by the Peace in Our Cities secretariat (the three organizations listed above). Your privacy offline and online is of the utmost importance to us.

Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we want you to fully understand our Privacy Policy (“Policy”) and the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it, all of which comply with common Web standards.

In particular, our privacy policy is in accordance with current European data law, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which took effect on May 25, 2018.

Who We Are

Peace in Our Cities is a diverse network driven by its members’ need to address severe violence. We partner with cities and organizations around the world to achieve one bold, unifying goal of halving urban violence in cities by 2030. We network to reduce and prevent urban violence—preserving lives and helping cities thrive.

Sometimes site operators collect information in our customer relationship management (CRM) software about web pages you visit on our website if you have filled out a web form with your personal information. The information gathered is never shared with any other company or organization unless we first obtain your consent for such sharing. It is used exclusively by the site operators.

Do We Share Your Personal Information With Others Outside Your Region?

For Data Subjects residing in the European Union, the people and organizations receiving your personal information from us in accordance with your consent may be processing it outside of your region.

Web Site Usage Tracking

Web Server Log Files

The site operators’ Web server, like most servers, collects information about visitors and stores them in log files. This information is gathered and stored each time the site is accessed.

Information Not Collected from Simple Web Site Use

  • Visitor’s name
  • Address
  • Phone number
  • Credit card numbers
  • Other personal or personally identifying information

Information Collected from Simple Web Site Use

  • Internet Protocol address (IP address) of machine that accessed our Web site
  • Date of visit
  • Time of visit
  • Path taken through our Web site
  • Browser used
  • Files downloaded or viewed
  • Time spent on each page (including time spent listening to audio files)
  • Errors encountered

Most Internet service providers (ISPs) use a dynamic form of assigning IP addresses. This means a visitor often has a different IP address each time he or she visits the site operators’ site. Many other ISPs (such as AOL) use proxy servers that further protect the anonymity of visitors.

Web Site—Cookies

Sometimes, the site operators’ sites use a “cookie” to more accurately track your visit. This is a small file stored on your computer that uniquely identifies your machine. No personal information is stored in a cookie. If you do not wish to accept a cookie from the site operators’ servers, you can adjust the settings in your browser accordingly. Refusing to accept a cookie does not affect how the site works.

Web site—Web Beacons

When we send you e-mails, we may include a Web beacon to allow us to determine the number of people who open our e-mails. When you click on a link in an e-mail, we may record this individual response to allow us to customize our offerings to you. Web beacons collect only limited information, such as a cookie identifier, time and date of a page being viewed, and a description of the page on which the Web beacon resides (the URL). Web beacons can be refused when delivered via e-mail. If you do not wish to receive Web beacons via e-mail, you will need to disable HTML images or refuse HTML (select “Text only”) e-mails via your e-mail software.

Web site—CRM

In some cases, if you have filled out a form with personally identifiable information on our website, we may track your visits to specific web pages in our customer relationship management (CRM) software. This happens through the use of cookies. If you do not wish to accept a cookie from the site operators’ servers, you can adjust the settings in your browser accordingly. Refusing to accept a cookie does not affect how the site works.

Third-Party Service Providers

We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but do not have permission to use it for other purposes.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We monitor regulations, policies, and procedures to ensure that we are up to date with changes in the law and market practices. As a result, we will change this privacy policy from time to time.
