WWW.PRIDECENTER.ORG PRIVACY
POLICY
The Pride Center has created this privacy policy because we value our members and
recognize their right to keep personal information private. This statement discloses our
information gathering and dissemination practices for this Pride Center website. We will
not willfully disclose personally identifiable information about our web users to any
third party without first receiving that web user's permission.
THE PRIDE CENTER GATHERS THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
IP Address
The Pride Center's web servers and forms on the web gather your IP address to help
diagnose problems with our service, to administer our site, and to gather broad
demographic information. Demographic information is gathered in aggregate only and cannot
be traced to an individual user.
Cookies
Our website sets cookies to keep track of advertising banner ad hits
and other similar information. The Pride Center's web servers
may also set a session ID cookie that
is used
to allow
our servers to deliver information you request (e.g., search
results).
Session IDs cannot be traced to an individual person or member name,
and are analyzed only in aggregate. Members who do not want to
receive cookies can instruct their web browsers
to refuse them; be aware, however, that doing so may prevent certain
parts of The Pride Center's site from working. Other organizations
which place advertising on The Pride
Center sometimes have the ability to assign a different cookie to
you in a process that we don't not control. Unless you've saved
your member name, cookies aren't useable for
identifying individuals (your computer will be assigned a random
number); neither The Pride Center nor advertisers will know who
you are.
E-News Mailing List
Signing up for our e-mail distribution list is completely optional.
The Pride Center's signup form requires
users
to give contact
and
demographic
information (e.g., ZIP code, age). Required fields are marked
with an asterisk. We use this information to send members information
about The Pride
Center (e.g., upcoming events, bulletins and
newsletters); members may opt-out of receiving this information via
e-mail. At times, The Pride Center may
rent names, mailing and email addresses to carefully selected
organizations. This information is rented on a
single-use-only basis. Aggregate demographic information collected
through the registration process may be shared with
advertisers and other partners. This aggregate information is not
traceable to an individual user.

When purchasing products or services on The Pride Center's site,
you're asked for credit card, billing and shipping information.
This information is used to debit a customer's credit card for
a donation of money to The Center, or for goods and services
purchased, and to ship merchandise. Only billing
vendors and Pride Center treasury staff have access to financial
information and only for the purpose of
billing customers. At times, The Pride Center may refer customers
to other websites to purchase products. Your activity on those
sites is covered by the privacy policies on
those sites.
Online Surveys
At times, The Pride Center may run online surveys asking for specific contact or
demographic information. These surveys are always optional. At times, The Pride Center may
share both the results of, and individual entries in, surveys with the sponsors of the
survey. Results of surveys may be shared with partners and advertisers on an aggregate
basis.
Contests
At times, The Pride Center may run contests on our site where we ask for contact or
demographic information. These contests are always optional. At times, The Pride Center
may share both the results of, and individual entries in, surveys with the sponsors of the

basis.
Member Feedback
The Pride Center stores feedback that members send to us. This feedback is used to
administer and refine the The Pride Center's site, and, at times, may be shared with Pride
Center affiliates either in aggregate form or with specific identifying characteristics
(e.g., email address, name) removed.

a valid legal mechanism such as a search warrant, subpoena
