Welcome to our new home!

Thank you for joining us on our new site. We are happy to announce that we have revamped how our Civic Engagement Toolkit functions. This change will allow us to grow and add new lessons for years to come!

Unfortunately it was too big a work load for us to bring over our existing users. As a previous user of our toolkit, you can participate by making one of the following two choices:

OPTION 1

Start from scratch and try out our fantastic new interface. You’ll revisit our “Getting to Know You” and “Civic Engagement 101” courses, where you’ll find your advocate style, pick an issue, and learn about five ways to get civically engaged, and create a new action plan.

OPTION 2

Use the registration form below to be enrolled into our short course to bypass our first two lessons which correspond to the toolkit you’ve already experienced. You’ll self select your advocacy type, your issue of choice, and you’ll make a new action plan.

*BE AWARE* Because we are skipping a bunch of steps, you will be receiving two courses worth of emails in one action. It’s a small price to pay for skipping forward though, right?

a. Information we collect

When you sign up for or use the Toolkit, you voluntarily share certain information including your name, email address, demographic information, and any other information you give us.

When you use a website, application, or other internet service, certain internet and electronic network activity information gets created and logged automatically. This is also true when you use this Toolkit. We use “cookies” or similar technologies to gather information (“log data”), including information that your browser automatically sends whenever you visit a website. This log data includes your Internet Protocol address (which we use to infer your approximate location), browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, how you used the Toolkit, and device data.

We use your information to provide and improve your experience on the Toolkit, including identifying you when you use the Toolkit, personalizing different features of the Toolkit, and responding to your questions and feedback.

We also have a legitimate interest in improving the Toolkit and may additionally use your information to conduct analytics and research on who is using the Toolkit and what they are doing.

c. How and when we share information

Under the terms of grant agreements that made this Toolkit possible, we will share certain demographic information with government agencies or other organizations, without your personal identifying information.

We will share your information with other services, at your discretion, when you publish your information to them. For example, if you choose to publish the results of any quizzes or surveys to Facebook or Twitter, then information about that content will be shared with Facebook or Twitter.

We will share your information with third-party companies that we or they use to audit or improve the delivery and performance of ads or content on this Toolkit (for example, through Google Analytics).

We may share your information with our affiliates, including Alliance for a Better Utah.

d. Changes to our privacy policy

We may change this policy from time to time and if we do, we’ll post any changes here. If you continue to use the Toolkit after those changes are in effect, you agree to the new policy.

3. Security

We care about the security of our users. While we work to protect the security of your account and personal information, Better Utah Institute can’t guarantee that unauthorized third parties won’t be able to defeat our security measures.
