Privacy PolicyPrivacy Policy

Last updated: June 17, 2021

The Just Trust (“The Just,” “we,” “us”) is a fiscally sponsored grantmaking organization dedicated to dramatically shrinking the overall footprint of America’s criminal legal system—from the number of people incarcerated to the more invisible and harmful ways it holds individuals, families, communities and entire generations back from opportunity.

The Just is committed to being transparent with our privacy practices. This Privacy Policy explains the personal information we collect about you in connection with the Services (defined below), how we use and share it, and the choices you have regarding this information.

If you have any questions, please email us at info@TheJustTrust.org.

Do Not Track Signals
We don’t currently share personal data with third parties for their direct marketing purposes, nor do we support any Do Not Track signals since there’s currently no standard for how online services respond to those signals.
