Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us at Planned Parenthood Pennsylvania Advocates (PPPA) and PAC (PP PA PAC). We understand that visitors to pppavotes.org need to be in control of their personal information. In order to assure you of the security of your information, we want to explain our website privacy practices.

There are two ways in which information may be collected when you visit a website. Whenever you visit or interact with a website, you make available some information about yourself and your computer. Web sites collect data about the types of information users seek and about the types of sites and links that they visit most frequently. In addition to this information, some web sites ask you to provide personal information.

We reserve the right to change and update this Privacy Notice from time to time.

The Personal Information You Provide

On some areas of our web site, we ask for information that identifies you personally. For example, if you donate money on our donations page, we will ask you to provide personal information. We may keep a record of any correspondence we receive from you. We will not disclose any personal information without your advance permission to do so unless the law requires us to do so, or the disclosure is necessary to protect PPPA and PP PA PAC’s rights or property.

PPPA or PP PA PAC will never share your personal information with any other party without notifying you of our intentions before you provide your information. PPPA nor PP PA PAC do not rent, sell or barter users' email addresses for use by outside parties for any purpose. We use security measures, such as Secure Sockets Layering (SSL) technology, to encrypt information such as your credit card number, before it travels the internet.

While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee that your personal information or communications that you disclose online will never be disclosed in ways not included in this policy. In the event of an investigation of fraud, intellectual property rights infringement or any other activity that is illegal or may expose PPWI to legal liability, we intend to cooperate with law enforcement inquiries and other third parties where we believe it is necessary.

PPPA nor PP PA PAC assumes no responsibility for, and shall not be liable for, any damages to or viruses that may infect your computer equipment or other property on account of your access to or use of the pppavotes.org website. We do not warrant that the pppavotes.org website or the service providers that make the content available are free of computer viruses or other harmful components.

Why We Collect User Information

In order to improve our website and to understand better how to serve you, we collect user information in an aggregate form that does not identify individual users. For example, we may learn that users use one link less than other links, and we may decide to clarify what information users can expect to find by clicking on that link.

We use data called cookies to track information about the pages you visit within our site. A cookie is a small amount of data stored temporarily by pppavotes.org on your computer's hard drive. This cookie makes it easier for you to navigate through our site because it remembers where you have been during a particular visit to your site. We may use cookies to deliver content to you that is specifically oriented to your areas of interest. The cookies we use are automatically deleted when you leave our website and do not remain on your computer.

Occasionally, we may collect personal information in other circumstances, but we will always explain the purpose of collecting this information at the time when we collect it.

What Information Do We Collect?

When you visit our website, our software can recognize your home server. The software can also detect certain other information about your computer, such as what web browsing software you are using and your computer's operating system. We can tell which web site you visited immediately before coming to ppwi.org, and we can tell what pages you visit on our site, as well as the first site you go to immediately after leaving our site. However, we cannot use this information to obtain your email address or your identity. We can obtain information about your email address or identity only if you provide it to us, as when you make a donation to us. We may collect information about the time and day of your visit, the amount of time you spend on our website, and any errors you may encounter. This information is kept confidential.

Other internet websites or services that may be accessible through ppoavotes.org have separate data and privacy practices that are not under our control, and we disclaim any responsibility or liability for their policies or actions. Links leading away from our site are only for your convenience. Please contact those websites directly if you have questions about their privacy policies.

If you decide to establish a link to our website, please direct your link only to the index page of our site. We also ask that your links do not state or imply any sponsorship or endorsement of your website or its contents by PPPA or PP PA PAC.
