Information Collection and Use |
| |
TeleTruth is the sole owner of the information collected on this
site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others
in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. TeleTruth
collects information from our users at several different points on
our Web site |
| |
|
| |
TeleTruth Membership |
| |
In order to use some features of this Web site, a user must first
complete the membership form. During subscription a user is required
to give their contact information (name and email address). This information
is used to contact the user about the topics on our site for which
they have expressed interest and for the user to receive their lost
password. It is optional for the user to provide demographic information
(mailing address, position, etc.). |
| |
|
| |
Web Statistics |
| |
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track
user movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate
use for reporting and sponsorship purposes. IP addresses are not linked
to personally identifiable information. |
| |
|
| |
Sharing |
| |
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners,
sponsors, and donors. This is not linked to any personal information
that can identify any individual person. We only share this information
so that we can secure funding to continue providing this site free
of charge. |
| |
|
| |
Links |
| |
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that
TeleTruth does not claim any responsibility for the privacy practices
of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they
leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every
Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy
statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site. |
| |
|
| |
Security |

This Web site takes every precaution to protect our users' information,
and we have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse,
and alteration of the information under our control. |

Newsletter - Mouthpiece |
| |
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter (Mouthpiece),
we ask for an email address only. We do not keep track of names or
other personal information, and the list is stored locally.
You can subscribe or unsubscribe from Mouthpiece online at: |
| |
|
| |
Surveys |
| |
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via Web
surveys. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose
this information. Information requested may include demographic information
(such as zip code, age level), but no information that can identify
any individual person will be collected. Survey information will be
used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction
of this site. |
| |
|
| |
Send This to a Friend |
| |
If a user elects to use our "Send this to a friend" function,
we ask them for the friend's name and email address. TeleTruth will
automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit
the site. TeleTruth stores this information temporarily for the sole
purpose of sending this one-time email. |
| |
|
| |
Updates |
| |
We may also send the user site and service announcement updates.
Members are not able to unsubscribe from service announcements which
contain important information about the service. We communicate with
the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating
to their account via email or phone. |
| |
|
| |
Correction/Updating Personal Information |
| |
If a user's personally identifiable information changes
(such as zip code or email address), or if a user no longer desires
our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update,
or remove that user's personal data provided to us. Users can email
our Help Desk help@teletruth.org
to change, correct, or remove information. |
| |
|
| |
Notification of Changes |
| |
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
on our home page so our users are always aware of what information
we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we
disclose it. If at any point we decide to use personally identifiable
information in a manner different from that stated at the time it
was collected, we will notify users by way of an email. Users will
have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this
different manner. We will use information in accordance with the privacy
policy under which the information was collected. |
