Privacy Policy
The National Center for State Courts (NCSC) is an independent, nonprofit court improvement organization dedicated to advancing
the rule of law by providing technical assistance and consulting services. To improve access to court-trained interpreters,
NCSC has created a National Database of State Court Interpreters(NDSCI). Interpreters wanting to be included in the NDSCI canregister in the database.
The NCSC respects your privacy. This privacy policy describes the types of personal information collected on the NDSCI, how that information is used,
and who can share it. Our policy also describes the measures we take to protect the security of the information.
Information we collect and how we use it
NCSC collects and processes data where the processing is necessary for the legitimate purposes for which NCSC was established.
For the NDSCI, the purpose is to identify, evaluate,and contact interpreters for spoken and sign languages needed in courts.
Cookies are used for authentication and to identify the interpreter when logging in to the NDSCI Registry. Specifically,
NCSC may collect and process the following data:
Personal information. You may choose to provide “personally identifiable information” (such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address),
when creating your profile on the NDSCI. The information that you elect to upload to your profile is collected. This includes name, contact information,
mode of interpreting services and time zone. We do not collect any Personally identifiable information that was not provided.
Non-personal information. Non-personally identifiable information is collected on this Registry.
Information we share
We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise disclose personal information about our registrants, except as described in this policy.
We may share information provided by our registrants for the purpose of identifying needed interpreters for state courts. Also,
we may share information with third-party service providers we have retained to perform services on our behalf such as cloud-based storage services.
These service providers are not authorized by us to use or disclose the information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to
comply with legal requirements. In addition, we may disclose information about you (i) if we are required to do so by law or pursuant to legal process,
(ii) in response to a request from law enforcement authorities or other government officials, or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate
to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.
Storage
Our operations are supported by a network of computers, cloud-based servers, and other infrastructure and information technology.
We and our third-party service providers store and process your personal information in the United States, but it is possible that this data could be
stored elsewhere in the world. We retain personally identifiable information until you advise us that you are no longer interested in serving as an
interpreter on the NDSCI. Registrants have the option of requesting that their personal accounts be deleted at any time. NCSC reserves the right to
delete or remove profiles of interpreters on the NDSCI at our own discretion at any time.
Security
We use reasonable security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or destruction of personally identifiable
information collected via the NDSCI and under our control. We maintain administrative, technical,and physical safeguards for the NDSCI to protect the
personal information you provide on the site. Notwithstanding the precautions that we take, we cannot guarantee the security of information that you
transmit to us, and thus shall not be liable for any failure to safeguard your information, whether inadvertent or otherwise.

personally identifiable information, or have your personally identifiable information removed from our systems, please contact us by email, phone or mail:
