PRIVACY
NOTICE FOR THE OECP WEBSITE
The OECP has created this
privacy notice to explain how we use information that you may provide while
visiting our website and to demonstrate our firm commitment to Internet
privacy. The OECP may modify this policy from time to time so we encourage
you to check back when revisiting this website.
The following discloses our
information gathering and dissemination practices for this website. The type
and amount of information received depends on how you use the site.
Website Usage/Information
Collection
When you visit the OECP website, we automatically obtain information from you
about the name of your Internet service provider, the browser and type of
computer you are using, the website that referred you to us, the pages you
request and the date and time of those requests. We use this information on
an aggregate basis to generate statistics and measure site activity to
improve the usefulness of the site to our visitors. For example, we use this
information to track which pages are most popular among visitors as a whole.
We do not track the pages you or any individual visitor may look at during a
visit to our site and we do not collect any other information without your
knowledge and permission. We do not collect or store personally identifiable
information, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address or phone
number, unless you provide that information.
The OECP website uses a cookie
for measuring aggregate web statistics, including number of monthly visitors,
number of repeat visitors, most popular web pages and other information. A
cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing
information about the user. OECP will also use cookies to facilitate your
online visit by maintaining data that you provide for online activism
activities so that you will not need to resubmit certain information. The OECP
does not use cookies to track what specific pages an individual site visitor
views.
OECP's Sharing of Personally
Identifiable Information
The OECP may exchange limited personally identifiable information (such as
name and e-mail address) with partner organizations when people correspond
with the OECP.
The OECP website will not post
your personal contact information, including e-mail address, street address
and phone numbers, without your consent. Without such consent, website staff
will withhold posting personal contact information for that individual.
Opting Out of E-mail Lists
People who subscribe to e-mail lists via the website will receive periodic
updates from the OECP by regular mail, fax or e-mail. You may opt out of
receiving future information via e-mail by using the unsubscribe procedure
specified on the e-mail message or by sending an e-mail message with the name
of the list you are a member of to: webmaster@OECP.org.
Outside Links
This site contains hypertext links to other sites. The OECP is not
responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such websites. We
encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site, and to read the
privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally
identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to
information collected by this website.
Security
All user information is restricted in our offices. All employees are kept
up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that
store sensitive information are kept in a secure environment.
If you send us an e-mail, you
should know that e-mail is not necessarily secure against interception. So,
if your communication includes sensitive information like your bank account,
charge card, or social security number, contact us by mail or by telephone
rather than by e-mail.
Corrections/Updating Personal

If your personal information changes (such as your ZIP code), or if you wish
to have your information removed from our database, contact us and we will
correct, update or remove that personal data provided to us.
