Your privacy is very important to us. Prevent Child Abuse New York does not automatically collect personal information. If you choose to give us your name, address, phone number, or issues of interest, we may store this information to keep you posted on relevant activities.

Our site uses AWSTATS to analyze number of visitors, page views, downloads, objects viewed (hits), top domains visiting (countries, higher education, non-profits, military, etc). It also analyses the 100 host computers that visited the site (these are often not even personal computers, and the true total number of individual hosts is in the thousands.)

We do not track individual usage of visitors to preventchildabuseny.org. We do not use data from AWSTATS to develop profiles of individual visitors to our Web site. There is no personal information collected in our automated log files.

When you contact us for information
We maintain some records of individuals who contact us for information in case we need contact them later or provide further information. However, we do not provide this information to anyone else unless you give us your permission or unless disclosure is compelled by law. Individual information about website visitors, including e-mail addresses, is never shared with third parties.

If you provide an email address or other information in order to receive updates or news about Prevent Child Abuse New York's activities, we use this information to notify you about issues and opportunities. We keep the information that you give us to sign up for these notices confidential.

In the event you wish to update or delete an email address that you have provided to us, please contact info@preventchildabuseny.org to make those changes.

When you make purchases
If you provide information to purchase a publication, product, event registration or other item, we use the information that we collect to process payments and shipping. This information is not made available to any third parties except as necessary to process payments or ship products. Your shipping and contact information is kept on file in case you choose to make additional purchases but will not be used in any other way.

When you contribute money online
If you choose to donate to Prevent Child Abuse New York, renew membership to the Prevention Network, or become a member of the Prevention Network, which we deeply appreciate, we use the information collected from you to process payments. Personal information may be shared with third party service providers (e.g. merchant banks) during this process.

When you take action using our Legislative Action Center
If you choose to take action on one or more of our many issues (i.e. send a fax or email to an elected official using our legislative action center), we use the information collected from you to personalize the letter and may contact you in the future on similar issues. We do not disclose it as part of a list to third parties.

If our information practices change at some time in the future we will post the policy changes to our Web site to notify everyone of these changes and provide you with the ability to opt out of any new uses. While we do not anticipate any changes to this privacy policy, you should check back at our Web site periodically.
