Privacy Page (Work in Progress!)
One of our main goals while developing this website
was to protect each person's identity and privacy as much as is
reasonably possible and yet still make available the information folks might
legitimately want to view here. So, we want to clarify on this page exactly
what is going to be done with the information collected, how
long it will be kept, etc. We also want to discuss any "privacy rules" we have established with your
privacy in mind for this website.
Cookies: This website does not use "cookies".
(We do not create them even "temporarily".)
Databases: There are no
online databases (unless you consider the lists on the Attendees Page
and the Food / Volunteers Page to be databases). Steve G (a.k.a. "the 60 Party coordinator") will
maintain registration forms and an attendee information summary spreadsheet as needed in order to organize and coordinate everyone's efforts but these will be disposed of as
discussed below.
Email-IDs are part of your
"online identity". We take this seriously and we hope you do as well. So, we have established these policies:
We will not publish your email-ID. Also, we ask that
you do not enter anyone's email-ID on FB.
We will not share anyone's
email-ID without their prior permission. However, if you would like us to provide someone's email-ID, we will request permission to do so. Please use the Contact Us page's link for the 60-Party coordinator to make
these requests. If you do so, we will assume you are authorizing us to send at least your email-ID to that person, yet we might only send a message to the other person and ask if we may provide their email-ID to you. If this takes longer than you might expect, or doesn't work out, please don't take it personally. People are busy, check email at different rates and have different levels of risk aversion. Hopefully, you will be able to meet up on August 16th and trade all sorts of information.
Other Personal Info:
Your name: We will not publish your full
Last Name. However, we will
(unless you request otherwise) publish a "Last Name Hint" (up to 4 characters of a
Last Name may appear) so that people who know you might be able to
"guess it".
If you do not want your Last
Name
Hint (or even your first name) to be
published: Let us know ASAP and you will be listed ASAP as “ANON 99” (where “99” is some numerical value).
Addresses, phone numbers, etc.
will not appear on this website.
What we do with the information you provide:
Before the party: The
information you provide to us (usually via the Registration Form
and email) will be used to organize the party.
We do not ask for any information that we do not think might be
important for this party to be a great success.
After the party: The 60 Party coordinator will retain a list of people's names, email-IDs, and how
they volunteered to help. All the other personal information will be destroyed.
We will not be saving home addresses, telephone numbers, or any other
data other than what was stated above.
If you do not want the 60 Party coordinator or Webmaster to save
any information: Feel free to request that we not retain
even your email address. You can make this request directly
on the Registration Form, or via the Contact Us Page, "snail-mail", etc.
P.S. To be honest, the confession must be made that we (SG) failed to use "blind copying" procedures at the time of the June 1 email batches. No excuses; (we) apologize and will make sure it will never happens again.
