Action Network Privacy Policy

We at Planned Parenthood Affiliates of New Jersey want this site to be a safe and private place for users. PPANJ will do its part by not requiring you to register or provide any information at all to use this Web site. You can do your part by reading this policy and taking the steps outlined below. We will also update this privacy policy as necessary, so be sure to re-read it from time to time.

Personal Information You Choose to Provide

You may choose to provide information by sending us an email or personal story, signing a petition, or sending an electronic letter to the United States Congress or the New Jersey Legislature. All of these submissions are completely optional.

a. If you provide your name, address, and telephone number, and email address by signing a petition or sending an electronic letter, we will have a record of your information. Your personal information will not be given or sold to any other organizations or entities not affiliated with Planned Parenthood.

b. If you choose to join the Planned Parenthood Action Network your information will be added to our activist list and database. We have an electronic network and therefore need an email address to send you informational updates and action alerts on reproductive rights issues. We need your full postal address in order for our unique email-to-fax system to automatically match you to your members of Congress and the NJ Legislature.

c. Finally, we will receive any other information you choose to provide, such as "personal stories" you submit. By submitting the story to us, you give us permission to edit it, post it on the Web site, and use it in appropriate settings designed to illustrate the importance of reproductive health freedoms. If you want to protect your privacy, try not to include any identifying information in your "personal story."

Information Automatically Collected and Stored

Any web site you enter, including www.plannedparenthoodnj.org, automatically collects and temporarily stores some information about your computer and your visit: your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address (this is not your email address); the domain from which you access the Internet (e.g. "AOL.com" or "Princeton.edu"); the name, version, and specifications of your computer and your computer's operating system; the Internet address of the web site, if any, from which you came to our site; the date and time you arrived at our site and how long you spent on the site; and which pages you visited.

If you just browse through our site, read pages, or download information, the above information is all that we collect. We use this information to formulate statistics (possibly with the help of outside experts) that show the number of visitors to the different sections of our site and to help us make our site more useful to visitors. For example, we use the browser information to help us design our web site so that as many people as possible will be able to view the pages correctly. These statistics do not reveal personal information.

Security

This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.

How to Unsubscribe

Your Help Is Needed

Although we do our best to protect your privacy on www.plannedparenthoodnj.org, we need your help.

a. You have control over your own privacy. Think carefully before providing any personal information.

b. Although this site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control, no email is completely secure against interception. If you are worried because your communication is very sensitive, do not send it.

c. Remember that we cannot protect your privacy once you leave our site, such as by "hyperlink." So when you visit other Web sites, check each one's privacy policy yourself, and be careful about the information you offer up.
