Website Traffic
Through Google Analytics, Community Solutions gathers website usage information such as the number and frequency of visitors to this website, page views and what features of the website are most popular to our visitors. We use this data to adjust the content we offer on our website so it is optimally appealing and helpful to our visitors. We use such data only in the aggregate and for internal purposes only.
Personally Identifiable Information
Community Solutions does not require you to register or provide information to us in order to view our site. We collect personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, phone number, email address, organization, and debit or credit card information, when you provide it.
We collect this information to process donations, to respond to inquiries about our consulting services, and to send updates to people who sign up to receive them. If you opt in to communications from Community Solutions, we may use your information to contact you and send you material such as email updates.
Unless you specify that a gift be “anonymous” or that your name not be listed, we may list the names of donors who give $1,000 or more in our annual report, so as to recognize their generosity publicly.
We do not sell, rent, or trade our donor lists or our subscriber lists to anyone. We may use outside service providers to facilitate our operations and perform functions on our behalf, including form hosting, email delivery, postal mail, website analytics, and payment processing. These providers may have access to your personal information as needed to perform those functions, and they may not use it for any other purpose.

We use this information to send you the updates you requested and to understand where interest in our work is coming from. ZIP code and role information help us tailor what we send and report on the geographic reach of a campaign in aggregate.
We do not use phone numbers collected through sign-up forms to send text messages. You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link at the bottom of any message we send, or by writing to info@cmtysolutions.org.
