Web site Privacy Policy
Do I Have to Submit Any Personal Information
When I Visit the Adoptinfo / REACH Web site?
No. You don't need to give us any identifying information
about yourself in order to access most of the Adoptinfo /
REACH Web site. You can visit our pages and learn about our
programs and services without sharing any personal information.
Does Adoptinfo / REACH Collect Any Non-Personal
Information from Its Web site Visitors?
Yes. Whenever you access the Adoptinfo / REACH Web site to
read or download information, Adoptinfo / REACH collects
certain non-identifying information from you. This information
includes the number assigned to your computer whenever you
access the internet (your "IP address"), the name
of the domain from which you access the Internet (i.e. AOL.com),
the time and date you access our site, the web pages you
accessed, and the Internet address of the Web site from which
you linked to the Adoptinfo / REACH Web site.
None of this non-personal information allows us to identify
or contact you. We use this information to help us evaluate
how our Web site is being used. By gathering this information,
we can learn, among other things, how many people visit www.adoptinfo.org,
which Adoptinfo / REACH pages are most and least popular,
and which other Web sites are the most frequent referral sources
for the Adoptinfo / REACH Web site. We use this information
to make our web pages more useful to our visitors. We may
also use the information to direct general marketing strategies,
but will not market to you individually.
When Does Adoptinfo / REACH Collect Personal
Information from Its Visitors?
If you decide to take advantage of some of our online services,
we may collect from you certain identifying information.
For example if you want to make a donation to Adoptinfo /
REACH you will be asked for your name, address, email address
and perhaps other personal information. Please remember that
you can always choose not to participate in services requiring
the submission of such information.
How Might Adoptinfo / REACH Use the Personal
Information that Is Collected?
The information we collect is used to improve the content
of our web page, to send out mailings with information on
new products and services or upcoming events, and to contact
consumers for marketing purposes.
From time to time, we may use customer information for new,
unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy
notice. If our information practices change at some time
in the future we will post the policy changes to our Web site to notify you of these changes and provide you with
the ability to opt out of these new uses. If you are concerned
about how your information is used, you should check back
at our Web site periodically.
How Does Adoptinfo / REACH Protect Security
and Confidentiality?
To protect your privacy, we use technologies and processes
such as encryption, access control procedures, network firewalls,
physical security and other measures. In addition, we allow
only authorized employees access to personal information.
Although we cannot guarantee there will be no unauthorized
access to personal information, these measures increase the
security and privacy of information traveling to, from and
within www.adoptinfo.org.
Who Can I Contact with Privacy Questions?

policy, please contact us by mail, telephone, or email at
