General Statement
We recognizes the importance of protecting the
privacy of all information provided by users of this website. We
created the following policy guidelines with a fundamental respect
for our users' right to privacy and because we value our
relationships with our users.
How Information is Collected
We collect information about users by
voluntary submission, IP addresses and cookies.
Voluntary Submission
When users elect to subscribe to newsletters or
magazines, enter contests or to access special sections, users are
required to supply certain personal information during the
registration process. Information collected through these forms may
be used by WISH Charter to gather broad demographic information
about our users in general, for audits and to perform statistical
analysis of user behavior in order to measure interest in the
various areas of our website.
WISH Charter will not disclose (share, sell or divulge) any
personal information, such as address, e-mail, telephone and fax
numbers, to third parties unless we have informed you, been
authorized by you or are required to do so by
law. We maintain this information in accordance with our
strict security and confidentiality standards.
Agents
We employ an agency and a web developer to perform
functions on our behalf. Examples include sending emails, removing
repetitive information, form email lists, analyzing data, and
providing support assistance. They have access to personal
information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it
for other purposes.
IP Addresses
An IP address is a number that is automatically
assigned to your computer when you surf the Internet. When you
request pages from the WISH Charter web server, the server
automatically logs your IP address, but not the e-mail
address. WISH Charter may use the log for various
purposes, including systems
administration.
Cookies
A cookie is a message sent to your browser from a
Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. The use of
cookies is an industry standard (i.e., most Internet sites use
cookies).
Opting Out
WISH Charter may periodically send out e-mails
to our users about new information and upcoming
events using e-mail addresses provided at registration or
otherwise. Upon request, WISH Charter will remove users
(and their information) from our database or permit them to
"opt-out" of any further e-mail newsletter lists. If you receive
any such e-mail messages that you do not wish to receive again in
the future, simply send an e-mail to jennie@wishcharter.org. Please place the
word "remove" in the subject field.
Links
This website contains links to other websites. WISH
Charter is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content
of such websites. Inclusion of links is merely a service to our
users.
Security
WISH Charter uses reasonable precautions to
keep the personal information disclosed to us secure. To prevent
unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure the correct
use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical,
electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the
information we collect online. Nonetheless, WISH
Charter does not guarantee the security, accuracy or
completeness of any such information or
procedures.
