Privacy Notice
Whenever you interact with a Web site on the World Wide Web or another person on the Internet, you make
available some information about yourself and your computer. Indeed, part of what makes the Web so useful
is its ability to allow users to access a wide variety of information yet, at
the same time, tailor their activities
to the type of information that interests
them the most. In order
to do that, users are
frequently asked about
the categories of information that interest them, and
Web sites collect data regarding the types of information
that visitors are seeking. However, as Web
use has increased, users have
expressed increasing concerns
about privacy and the collection of user information.
Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, DC (PPMW) has a firm commitment to privacy. We take
your privacy concerns seriously and want to make every effort to address them. That is why we have adopted
the following policy, which explains our position on information gathering and how we intend to use any
user data we may collect from our users.
Your Personal Information
From time to time, we ask for information that personally
identifies you, as in our donations Web page. We
will not disclose any personal
information without your advance permission except when we believe the law
requires us to do so or the disclosure is necessary to protect the rights or
property of PPMW.
In order to improve the design of our Web site or analyze
the services we offer, we gather user information in
an
aggregate form that
does not identify individual users. For
example, we may find that most of our users
come to us through search engines
rather than from their IP
domain. This may help us make decisions about
marketing our Web site. Occasionally,
we may disclose personal
information in other
circumstances, but we
will only do this if we have explained at the time we collect
the information the,
purpose for which it will be
disclosed.
Email Privacy
PPMW does not rent, sell, barter or give away its users' e-mail addresses for use by outside parties for any
purpose.
Donor Privacy
While we strive to protect your personal information and privacy, we cannot ensure that all of your private
communications and other information you disclose online will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise
described in this policy. We intend to cooperate with all law enforcement inquiries and with other third parties
as we believe necessary in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property rights infringement
or any other activity that is illegal or may expose PPMW to legal liability.
Data or information supplied on our Web site also may be
subject to eavesdropping, sniffing, spoofing,
forgery, spamming, tampering, "impostering", breaking passwords,
harassment, fraud, electronic
trespassing, hacking, and other limitations of the security and/or authentication
features of our system. You
also acknowledge that
PPMW's Web site potentially may include viruses and/or other material that could
permit unauthorized access
or cause potential damage to the data and information on your computer.
This Privacy Policy discloses PPMW's privacy practices for its Web site. We reserve the right to change and
update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
Links to Other Internet Web Sites
Other Internet Web sites or services that may be accessible through 4TeenzOnly.com have separate data and
privacy practices that are independent of us, and we disclaim any responsibility or liability for their policies or
actions. Please contact those Web sites directly if you have questions about their privacy policies.
