Hudson Newcomers is a social
organization based in Hudson, Ohio, USA. This web site is
primarily for Hudson Newcomers members, potential members, and those
seeking information about Hudson Newcomers. This privacy
statement covers http://www.HudonNewcomers.org including bulletin
boards. It does not include information gathered for club purposes
outside of this site (information as needed for club functions and
socials). That information will be treated privately in
accordance with each specific function or social.
We will always strive to offer services throughout this site requiring
as little personal information as possible. Where personal information
is collected, HudsonNewcomers.org agrees to keep that information
confidential and will not sell or distribute it to a third party.
::Types of information collected and maintained::
Registration
In order to use the bulletin boards at HudsonNewcomers.org, a user must
first complete the registration form. During registration a user is
required to give contact information such as name and email address. We
use this information to contact the user about services on our site for
which s/he has expressed interest.
Submission of Articles and/or Resources
In order to submit an article or resource to HudsonNewcomers.org, you
will be required to offer your name and email address. This information
is used to verify the source of information, obtain follow-up
information, and to credit authors when applicable.
Profile
We store information that we collect through cookies and log files, to
maintain a profile of our users for the bulletin board. Your profile is
shared via the bulletin boards and can contain as much or as little
viewable information as you like.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to
information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to
any personally identifiable information while on our site. We use both
session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie,
once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A
persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user's hard drive
for an extended period of time.
By setting a cookie on our site, users do not have to log in a password
more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If users reject
the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is
that the user will be limited in some areas of our site such as the
bulletin boards.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes
internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service
provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp,
and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track
user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to
personally identifiable information.
::Sharing::
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to
disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a
good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a
current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on
our Web site.
Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that
HudsonNewcomers.org is not responsible for the privacy practices of
such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave
our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site
that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy
statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site may request information from users via
surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is
completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not
to disclose this information. The requested information typically
includes contact information (such as name and shipping address), and
demographic information (such as zip code). Contact information will be
shared with the contest or survey sponsors to notify the winners and
award prizes. Anonymous Survey information may be used for purposes of
monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Users'
personally identifiable information is not shared with third parties
unless we give prior notice and choice. Though we may use an
intermediary to conduct these surveys or contests, they may not use
users' personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Message Boards, and Public Forums
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal
information online - for example on message boards, through e-mail, or
in chat areas - that information can be collected and used by others.
In short, by posting personal information online that is publicly
accessible, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in
return.
