Protecting your privacy is extremely important to us.

We collect personally-identifable information about members and Web site visitors in three ways: voluntary submission, cookie technology, and traffic data.

We use personally-identifiable information to communicate with members, and to maintain the Web site and make it more responsive to users' needs.

We will use our best efforts to keep such information secure by electronic, contractual, and other procedures designed to prevent unauthorized use.

We will not share personally-identifiable information about a member or Web site user with any other person or organization, including Democracy for America, without your explicit consent, except under extraordinary circumstances:

We will release personally-identifiable information about a member or Web site user in order to comply with any valid legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order.

We will also release specific information in special situations, such as an attempt to breach the Web site's security, or an imminent physical threat to any person.

We may release certain aggregate information about members, the Web site, or its users for promotional, technical, or other purposes. For example, we may release the total number of registered members, the average number of users who visit the site each week, or the percentage of pages viewed by different kinds of Web browsers.

If DFNH ever changes any provision of this Privacy Policy to make it less strict, we will not apply the more lenient Policy retroactively to any personally-identifiable information collected under the stricter Policy.

If DFNH ever merges with another organization, we will require that the new organization continue to maintain personally-identifiable information collected under this Privacy Policy using a policy at least as strict as this one.

Privacy of children

We understand that children require special safeguards and privacy protection because they may not fully understand our Privacy Policy, or be able to make thoughtful decisions about the choices that are available to adult users of the Web site. We urge parents to participate in their children's exploration of the Internet, and to teach their children about protecting their personal information while online.

Users under 13 may not register with the Web site on their own. A user under 13 may be registered only by a parent or guardian.

A user under 13 may not submit information to the Web site without the consent of his or her parent or guardian.

No personally-identifiable information concerning users under 13 will be used or made available by DfNH for any marketing or promotional purposes.

To the extent that it is technically feasible to do so, we will remove from our records personally-identifiable information concerning a user under 13 if asked to do so by his or her parent or guardian.

By using the Web site, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not accept this Policy, please do not use the Site. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes to this Policy will signify your acceptance of such changes.
