Privacy
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
If you want to be removed from our Action Network list and do not want to receive
any email from us in the future, please visit the Profile Editor page.
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.
