PRIVACY STATEMENT

​

At FightEDS, we are committed to protecting your privacy. We firmly believe that electronic security and privacy are necessary for the continued success of the Internet. In support of this, we only use the personal information that you provide to create a more personalized and enjoyable experience for you, monitor the effectiveness of our site, and respond to your questions and requests.

When you visit our website, our server automatically records domain name and standard anonymous information about the operating system and Web browser you are using, as provided by your Web browser. This automatically collected information is used for statistical purposes to help us manage our site and better serve the community, but it does not identify you in any way.

Those of you who volunteer information about yourself online by filling out an interactive form on our website (e.g., the order or donation form) or offline may be interested to know FightEDS’s Information Sharing Policy, which is as follows:

​

• All your information provided during registration is only used to provide personalized content and services. Any account information you supply will be used only to process requested commerce transactions or to contact you regarding a specific transaction. FightEDS may also use this information in order to generate aggregate reports that help us determine how to improve our users’ experience.

• FightEDS will not disclose your user information to any outside organization without your consent, and does not rent or sell your information. FightEDS may disclose user information to the government and/or third parties when we have reason to believe that disclosure of such information is necessary to identify or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms and Conditions or otherwise causing harm to FightEDS or anyone who could be victimized by such activities, and where otherwise required by law or by legal process.

• Unless you choose to opt out in accordance with the choice/opt-out procedures below, we may add your name and email address to the FightEDS mailing list. The mailing list may be shared with any future FightEDS chapters, established Support Groups and local Community Groups. Such local groups may use the mailing list to (i) inform you of official local meetings, (ii) solicit membership in the approved local group, (iii) encourage support of, or participation in, FightEDS activities (e.g., the Annual Conference), The FightEDS legislative work or The FightEDS campaigns, or (iv) solicit dues for the local chapter.

• We may also use your contact information to e-mail you newsletters that inform you of upcoming events within the FightEDS organization

 

The security of your personal information is very important to us and we are committed to protecting the information we collect. https://www.fighteds.org uses firewalls and has security measures in place at its physical facilities to protect against loss, misuse, or alteration of information that we have collected from you at our website. This includes use of Secure Sockets Layers (SSL) for processing contributions and library orders securely. SSL is the proven standard for secure Web messaging transactions.

​

FightEDS reserves the right to change this policy at any time. Our privacy policy will be kept up to date and clearly posted on our website.
