GENERAL POLICY

Standing Stronger Together, (“SST”), recognizes the importance of protecting information we may collect from visitors to our site. We maintain appropriate security measures to keep the information we acquire from visitors to our sites private. Your browser, however, does automatically tell us the type of computer and operating system you are using. Users can visit the site without revealing any information about themselves. If one chooses to give us personal information via the Internet for the purposes of correspondence, then it is our intent to let you know how we will use such information. We do keep track of the domains from which people visit us. We analyze this data for trends and statistics. We do not share information web users provide with third parties for commercial purposes.

SST takes precautions to keep the user information disclosed to us secure. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect.

Use of Cookies

Certain sections of the SST website use “cookies” to store user information. A cookie is a small string of text that a website can send to your browser. Cookies help us understand which parts of our web sites are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how long they spend there. We use cookies to analyze traffic patterns so we can improve the

site. Cookies were originally designed to help a web site distinguish a user’s browser as a previous visitor and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing the site. If you are just browsing www.standingstrongertogether.org, a cookie identifies only your browser, but you do not have to accept the cookie to continue browsing the site. It is possible to set your browser to inform you when a cookie is being placed – then you have the opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act

We do not knowingly collect any information from anyone under 13 years of age. Our site, products and services are all directed to people who are at least 13 years old or older.
