What personal data we collect and why we collect it


Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Who we share your data with

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

CURRENT ISSUES AND EVENTS

The next general meeting will be on Zoom in February.  Check your email for details.

COVID 19 REGISTRATION UPDATE

Since last March, the Oregon State Police have allowed registration by telephone.  This system is still in effect but check for potential changes before you register.  Details on OSP website.

REGISTRATION RELIEF HEARING UPDATE

Hearings continue to be by phone or video.  Our last numbers indicate that about 80% of those applying were granted relief, many without using attorneys and doing the rigorous information gathering on their own.  Since then, two registrants in OV were granted relief, one with  an attorney, one without.  OV hopes to develop materials to help people in this process.  Unscored registrants who believe they are eligible for relief should contact the BPPPS for instructions.

PROPOSED SORNA AMENDMENTS

The US Attorney General’s office issued proposed modifications to SORNA(Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act).  These would affect all state registries.  OV and affiliated organizations submitted comments objecting to the proposed changes.  We will wait for the AG’s response before taking further action.  Information on any Oregon legislative responses this session to federal requests will be on our email.

COVID IN OUR PRISONS

As of December 30, the Marshall Project reports 276,235 cases nationwide with at least 1738 deaths of AIC’s.  This includes federal and states.  The Oregon DOC reports 2320 overall confirmed cases with 21 deaths to date.  Both of these represent almost double the number of active cases since October 31.
