WHAT INFORMATION DOES THIS SITE GATHER?

Please be assured that we do not collect personal information from you unless you provide it to us. This means that you can visit our website without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself (such as your e-mail address, software you are using, or any information about yourself).

As you browse the site, our web servers collect information about your visit, but not about you personally. Via web server logs, we monitor statistics such as:

  • How many people visit our site

  • Which pages people visit on our site

  • From which domains our visitors come (e.g., aol.com)

  • Which browsers people use to visit our site

None of this information is associated with you as an individual. We use these statistics to improve our website, to monitor its performance, and to make the website easier for you and other visitors to use. If you become a registered user, we may use information about your visits to serve you better, as discussed below.


WHAT ABOUT PAGES THAT ASK FOR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

When visitors supply information about themselves for a specific purpose, we use the information for that purpose (such as to provide the membership service or information the visitor has requested). For example, you may be asked to give us individual information to join or donate to CPOC, manage online registration, or apply for a position. The information may range from your zip code, to your phone number, e-mail address, organization URL, or mailing address.

Should any changes be made in the way we use personally identifiable information, CPOC will contact you via e-mail notifying you of this change and to give you the opportunity to choose to opt-out of such use.


WHAT HAPPENS TO INFORMATION WHEN I FILL OUT REGISTRATION FORMS?

We encourage all visitors to become members of CPOC, although membership registration is only required for certain transaction-related areas of CPOC. The registration forms request accurate contact information (like name and e-mail address) that help us better serve you. Your name and e-mail address are used to send members information about our organization, CPOC PAC’s candidate recommendations, service updates, special offers, and newsletters. We strive to ensure that the information we obtain online and use about members is accurate.

To improve the services we can offer you, we may decide to expand the site’s capabilities for obtaining information about users in the future. We will update this privacy statement continually to ensure that you are aware of developments in this area.


DOES THIS SITE SEND E-MAIL TO SITE VISITORS?

At times, online surveys are conducted in which you can choose to participate. In addition, we may use e-mail to communicate with our members, to respond to visitors’ e-mail, to confirm informational requests placed online, and to send information that a visitor has requested. If you receive an unwanted e-mail from us, you can use the Reply feature on your browser and simply ask us to remove you from our list.
