Cookies and analytics. We are running open-source Matomo analytics, via its JavaScript method, in cookieless mode on this site to help us understand how well we are reaching people. Analytics data are anonymized and there is no way to determine personally identifiable information.
Personal information. Our website does not collect any personal information, but we do provide tools to help you e-mail your own letters to decision makers. Our address, letters@saveharvardyiddish.org, is included in the recipient list by default so that we can better understand our reach and tell you of updates and future actions. Leaving it will help us succeed, but if you do not consent, please remove letters@saveharvardyiddish.org from the recipient list before sending. Our purpose is to save Yiddish and other endangered programs at Harvard and support its faculty, students, and union. We will use your contact information only to communicate with you for this purpose. We use ActionNetwork to do so, but our third-party e-mail provider may change. We will not share your information with anyone besides our e-mail providers. If we want to communicate for any other reason, we will ask for your opt-in first.
If you wish to withdraw your consent for future communications from us, please send an e-mail to opt-out@saveharvardyiddish.org with "OPT-OUT" at the start of the subject line. Note that we cannot control how Harvard administrators use your information because they are completely independent of us.
Why not use an advocacy platform? Our testing indicates that using a platform like ActionNetwork to e-mail Harvard administration results in messages catching in a spam filter or the "promotions" tab in Harvard employees' mailboxes. We believe sending letters directly through your own e-mail will ensure better deliverability.
