Privacy Policy
We at Planned Parenthood of Western Washington (PPWW) want this site to be a safe and private place for users. PPWW will do its part by not requiring you to register or provide any information at all to use most features of this Web site. In turn, you can do your part by reading this policy and taking the steps outlined below.
Any time you provide personal information, you should be mindful of the terms of this privacy policy, as it will govern our use of the information you have provided.
We will update this privacy policy as we deem necessary, so be sure to reread it from time to time. By submitting information to us, you agree that PPWW may use the information in accordance with this privacy policy.
Personal Information You Choose to Provide
If you do submit information to us, we will use that information for the purpose for which it was submitted.
We will receive any other information you choose to provide, such as optional information or "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. To protect your privacy, please do not include any identifying information in the body of your "personal story."
Other than as described in this privacy policy, or 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, PPWW will not give or sell the personal information you provide online.
Information Automatically Collected and Stored
As is true of most Web sites you enter, we automatically collect and store some information about your computer and your visit and store it in log files. This information includes information such as your computer's (or your ISP'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.
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. The security measures used on this site include, but are not limited to, firewalls, and internal policies to maintain the security of stored data. While we follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100 percent secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
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 PPWW does its best to protect your privacy on our site, we need your help.
You have control over your own privacy. Think carefully before providing any personal information. Although this site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control, no e-mail or Web transmission is completely secure against interception. If you are worried because your communication is very sensitive, do not send it via e-mail or submit it online. Click here [Nate - jump to bottom of page for this link] for additional ways to contact us.
Remember that we cannot protect your privacy once you leave our site, such as by "hyperlink." So when you visit other Web sites including Web pages within www.plannedparenthood.org that belong to other Planned Parenthood organizations, check each one's privacy policy yourself, and be careful about the information you offer up.
In addition, you should only forward our e-mail messages to others through the "Tell Your Story" buttons or links provided within the e-mail. When you use your e-mail system's forwarding capabilities (i.e., not "Tell Your Story"), others may be able to take actions in your name and/or access your personal information.
Your browser and operating system contain records of your Web browsing and other actions (e.g., browser history). You can find information about how to clear these history trails in your browser's "Help" section or through other Web sites that provide detailed information for each browser and operating system.
