PRIVACY

STOP AIDS Privacy Statement

STOP AIDS respects your right to privacy and wants this site to be safe and private for our visitors. Please read this entire policy. There are steps you can take to help secure your privacy. Please re-read this policy frequently as we will update it as necessary. By submitting information to us, you agree that AVOC may use the information as defined by this privacy policy.

Personal Information You Choose to Share with Us

There is currently no way to transmit information to us via our website. This policy applies to any information you pass along to STOP AIDS at any point in time. We will not share your information with any other organizations for fundraising purposes. However, you should be aware that we use third-party vendors to provide services on this site and in our offline business operations. The information that you submit on this site may be provided to those vendors on a confidential basis so that those vendors can provide services (such as sending e-mail messages, facilitating our fundraising activities and campaigns, or processing credit card transactions) on our behalf. Other than as described in this privacy policy, or as may be necessary to protect the rights, property, and safety of our organization, our clients, or others, or as may be necessary to comply with applicable law, STOP AIDS will not give or sell the personal information you provide online.

Information Automatically Collected and Stored

As is true of most Web sites you enter, we automatically collect and store some information about your computer and your visit and store it in log files. This information includes information such as your computer's (or your ISP's) Internet Protocol (IP) address (this is not your e-mail address); the domain from which you access the Internet (e.g., "msn.com" or "Xavier.edu"); the name, version, and specifications of your computer and your computer's operating system; the Internet address of the Web site, if any, from which you came to our site; the date and time you arrived at our site and how long you spent on the site; and which pages you visited. We use this information to formulate statistics (possibly with the help of outside experts) that show the number of visitors to the different sections of our site and to help us make our site more useful to visitors. For example, we use the browser information to help us design our Web site so that as many people as possible will be able to view the pages correctly. These statistics do not reveal personal information.

Persistent Cookies: We use persistent cookies to provide greater accuracy in our analysis of the information that is automatically collected about your visit to our site.

Security

This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. The security measures used on this site include, but are not limited to, industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, Verisign certificates, firewalls, and internal policies to maintain the security of stored data. While we follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100 percent secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Remember, many breaches of security occur when users are not vigilant in protecting their own information.

How You Can Help Protect Your Privacy

Although STOP AIDS does its best to protect your privacy on our site, your help is essential. You have control over your own privacy. Think carefully before providing any personal information. Although this site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control, no email or Web transmission is completely secure against interception. If you are concerned because your communication is very sensitive, do not send it via e-mail. In addition to the records left on your computer by cookies, your browser and operating system contain other records of your Web browsing and other actions (e.g., browser history). As with cookies, you can find information about how to clear the history trails in your browser's "Help" section or through other Web sites that provide detailed information for each browser and operating system.
