Privacy Policy
Planned Parenthood
Of Northwest Ohio, Inc. Online Privacy Policy
We at Planned Parenthood Of Northwest Ohio want this site to be a safe
and private place for users. PPNWO 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 we deem necessary, so
be sure to re-read it from time to time. By submitting information to
us, you agree that PPNWO may use the information in accordance with this
Privacy Policy.
Personal
Information You Choose to Provide
To register with our site, you will have to provide some personal information,
such as your name, mailing address, and e-mail address. In addition to
the required information, your subscription page will give you the option
to provide additional information. If you do submit personal information
to us, we will use that information for the purposes for which it was
submitted. We may also use your information to contact you about other
Planned Parenthood activities and/or fundraising campaigns and we may
share your information with other Planned Parenthood entities for similar
purposes.
a. If you provide your name, address, and e-mail address by registering with our site or making an online donation, we will have a record of your information.
b. If you choose to register with, or donate to PPNWO, your information will be added to our list and database.
c. If you register with our site or make a donation, your information will also be shared with the Planned Parenthood Action Network and you will receive informational updates and action alerts on reproductive rights issues. The Action Network is an electronic network and therefore we need an e-mail address to contact you. We also need your full postal address in order for our systems to match you to the correct state and federal districts, thereby ensuring that you are primarily sending messages to your designated elected officials.
d. We will receive and retain a record of any other information you choose to provide, such as optional information you submit.
e. We use third-party vendors to provide services on this site and in our offline business operations. The information that you submit on this site may be provided to those vendors on a confidential basis so that those vendors can provide services (such as maintaining our database, sending e-mail messages to registrants, conducting fundraising campaigns, or processing credit card transactions) on our behalf.
f. Other
than as described in this privacy policy, as may be necessary to protect
the rights, property, and safety of our organization, our clients, or
others, or as may be necessary to comply with applicable law, PPNWO will
not give or sell the personal information you provide online to any non-Planned
Parenthood organizations or entities.
Information Automatically Collected and Stored
Any Web site you enter, including www.ppnwo.org, automatically collects
and stores some information about your computer and your visit: your computer's
Internet Protocol (IP) address (this is not your e-mail 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.
Use of Cookies
If you choose to provide information by registering with, or donating
to PPNWO, we may place a small text file, known as a "cookie,"
on your hard drive so that you will be recognized as you move around the
Web pages. Unless you choose to use a "persistent cookie," the
information is captured only for the duration of your browser session
through the use of a "session cookie." For example, if you make
a donation and then navigate through different pages of the Web site,
the cookie will maintain the information you entered when you filled out
the donation pages. As you move through the site, any fields requiring
information about you that has already been captured will automatically
appear. However, once you close your browser window, the session cookie
times out. If you open a new browser window and return to our Web site,
your personal information fields will not be filled automatically.
In certain
circumstances, you may be given the option to turn on a "persistent"
or "permanent cookie" on your computer (e.g., "Would you
like us to remember your password?" messages). A persistent cookie
will remember your user name and password and will not time out at the
end of your browser session.
Security
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse,
and alteration of the information under our control. The security measures
used on this site include, but are not limited to, industry-standard Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) technology, Versign certificates, firewalls, and internal
policies to maintain the security of stored data.
Remember, many breaches of security occur when users are not vigilant
in protecting their own information. The next section of our privacy policy
suggests some actions you can take to help control the security of your
personal information.
Your Help Is Needed
Although we do our best to protect your privacy on www.ppnwo.org, we need
your help.
a. You have control over your own privacy. Think carefully before providing any personal or financial information.
b. Although this site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control, no e-mail 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 there.
d. You should be aware that we use personalization measures designed to make your site experience more enjoyable (i.e., personalized links in e-mail that allow data fields to be automatically populated with certain personal information). We need your help to protect the information embedded in these links. You should always keep your e-mail account information secure and not allow others to access your e-mail account.
e. In addition, you should only forward our e-mail messages to others through the "Tell A Friend" buttons or links provided within the e-mail. When you use your e-mail system's forwarding capabilities (i.e., not "Tell a Friend"), others may be able to take actions in your name and/or access your personal information.
f. You may
be given the option to turn on a persistent cookie on your computer (see
"Use of Cookies" above). Remember that once you have set a persistent
cookie, anyone can access your personal information by using your computer.
