Your Privacy
AIDS Fund respects your privacy. Our goal is to be a valuable source of
information related to and support for organizations in the Philadelphia Region
that provide AIDS and HIV-related services, education and prevention services.
We want you to make the most of our services and feel confident while doing so
online. We have a clear privacy policy: we collect no private, personal
information unless you voluntarily supply it. This privacy statement explains
under what circumstances we gather your individually identifiable information,
how we use it, and who may access that information. It also provides you the
means to "opt-out" of providing personal information that you do not wish to
provide and to access, change, or remove any identifying information already
collected.
We believe that your privacy is of the utmost importance, which is why this
statement regarding privacy of personally identifiable information provided
online conforms to the Federal Trade Commission's fair information practices of
notice, choice, access, and security. We hope that you will provide comments on
how we can improve our privacy policy so that we may better accommodate your
needs. Please provide any comments by clicking

Please note that this privacy policy applies only to AIDS Fund's web site, and
specifically does not apply to other companies' or organizations' web sites to
which we link. We have attempted to mark each of our web pages with AIDS Fund
trademark so you will always know where this policy applies.
Personal Information We Collect Online
When you visit the AIDS Fund website, we do not collect any personally
identifiable information without your consent. In order to register for the
AIDS Walk, however, we require that you provide us with your first and last
name, state, postal code, country, and email address, along with the other
information regarding team captains and past AIDS Walk activities.
How We Protect Your Information
AIDS Fund is dedicated to the security of your personal information, and we
take every commercially reasonable precaution to maintain that protection. To
prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and
facilitate the appropriate use of information, we use physical, electronic, and
managerial procedures to attempt to protect the personal information we collect
online. Encryption tools are used when collecting or transferring sensitive
information. Additional database content is protected either by means of a two
key encryption algorithm or behind a firewall using security software.

Do We Employ "Cookies?"
"Cookies" are small data files stored on your own computer's hard drive by
certain websites. AIDS Fund does not utilize "cookies".
Our Use of Your Personal Information
Our primary use of the personal information you volunteer is to contact you
regarding information and support for organizations in the Philadelphia Region
that provide AIDS and HIV-related services, ·ducation and prevention service.
We also may store and use your personal information for our own internal
purposes including list management and demographic matching with other internal
database information.
Although we, at times, share your personal information with other companies or
organizations that have a product or service we believe may be of interest to
you, you always have the right to direct us not to share such information with
third parties (see "Choice" below).
Our Retention of Your Personally Identifiable Data
Once you have registered with AIDS Fund, we will store and maintain the
personally identifiable information you have volunteered for so long as you
remain a registrant of AIDS Fund and have not directed us otherwise, or for so
long as we are required by law. Our retention of your data allows us to
continue providing you with highly personalized services without interruption.
Choice
AIDS Fund believes that choice is one of the most important privacy principles.
You have the choice not to submit any personally identifiable information to us
(although under such circumstances you would be unable to register for the AIDS
Walk online). Finally, you may choose to limit the use of or access to your
personally identifiable information by requesting that we refrain from sharing
all such information with any third parties. You may "opt out" in this way at
any time simply by contacting us by clicking
here
.
Likewise, should you prefer not to receive email communications from us, we
provide a mechanism for opting out of this service by un-clicking the box that
states "Yes, I'm willing to receive email updates pertaining to special
promotions and upcoming events." Additionally, each email message we send you
will clearly state how you may remove your name from the email list.
Please note that you will not be able to opt out with regard to the collection
and disclosure of aggregate information. Such information does not include
anything personally identifiable, however, and simply reflects statistical
analysis of various aspects of site usage.
Access and Accuracy
AIDS Fund aims to keep your personally identifiable information as accurate as
possible. As an online user, you will have the opportunity to access and change
your information at any time by contacting us by clicking
here. By doing
so, you may add, delete, or change individual fields of data in your personal
profile. Should you at any time desire to remove your name from our list, you
may contact us by clicking

from our records as soon as commercially reasonable.
