Privacy Statement
The Ohio Environmental Council, "the OEC", recognizes
the importance of protecting the privacy of all information provided by users
of www.theOEC.org. We created the following policy guidelines with a fundamental
respect for our users’ right to privacy.
Information Collected by the OEC
The OEC collects information about users during their registration for some of our
services; their participation in certain activities on our websites; and through
the use of cookies. When users request pages from our server, our Web server
automatically collects some information about the users, including their IP
addresses. These addresses are used by computers on the network to send the
requested pages to users.
Use of Information
The OEC will not reveal any personal information that users
provide to us to any third party without their permission. The OEC uses users' IP
addresses to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website.
We also use it to gather broad demographic information about our users in general.
This information does not contain anything that can identify users personally.
We may combine demographic information supplied by a subscriber at registration
with site usage data to provide profiles, in aggregate form, about our users
and their preferences in the content of the site.
The OEC periodically sends out e-mail newsletters and informational
e-mail to our users about our programs and events. Users can indicate
that they do not wish to receive e-mail information from the OEC. Third parties
will not contact our users through the use of our e-mail lists.
Our site uses cookies to deliver content specific to users'
interests and to honor their preferences. This information is used to assist
us in creating a site that will serve the needs of our users.
Upon request, the OEC will remove users (and their information)
from our database or permit them to "opt-out" of any further e-mail
newsletters or contact. The OEC makes every effort possible to send our periodic
updates and notices only to those who have requested to receive them.
Although the OEC does not specifically seek to obtain any information
from children, children may visit our website. We urge children only to give
us any information after they have discussed it with their parents.
General
The OEC is not responsible for the content or the privacy
policies of websites to which it may provide links. We make no representation
about these sites, nor do our links suggest any endorsement of the information
contained in them.
The OEC uses reasonable precautions to keep the personal information
disclosed to us secure and to disclose such information only to responsible
third parties after permission from the user.
If you have any questions about this privacy statement, the
practices of this site or your dealings with the www.theOEC.org, please contact us. Or call (614) 487-7506.
The Ohio Environmental Council reserves the right to
change, modify, or update this statement at any time without notice.
