Personal Information Privacy
This policy describes how the Nassau County Police Activity
League ("NCPAL") treats information about you
that we may receive from you directly or automatically
through your computer. This policy does not apply to the
practices of persons or entities that NCPAL does not control,
manage or employ.
NCPAL knows that you care how information about you
is used. Please read the following to learn more about
our privacy policy.
You
can browse our website without telling us who you are
or giving us any personal information. When you interact
with us through your computer, our website does record
certain non-identifying site usage data, such as the number
of hits and visits to our website.
NCPAL does collect personal information when you register
with us to be a sponsor or make a donation. We ask for
information such as your name, address, phone number,
fax number, email address, and credit card information.
Additionally, our website employs "cookies",
which are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer
to your computer's hard drive through your web browser.
We employ "cookies" to perform three functions:
to let us know how long you are logged on to our website
and to automatically log you out if you are inactive
for over thirty minutes; to store your user ID and password
so that when you return to our website you won't have
to re-enter some or all of that information; and to
provide us with statistics regarding what pages of our
website you visited, and how long you spent there.
You may configure your browser to accept all "cookies",
reject all "cookies", or notify you when a
"cookie" is sent. However, when accessing
an area that requires a password for entry, "cookies"
are not optional and continued paths through the password
area will not continue.
NCPAL
does not sell, share or disclose personal information
with persons or entities not affiliated with or employed
by NCPAL except with your consent or when we reasonably
determine it necessary to do so in order to comply with
law or protect the safety, property or legal rights of
NCPAL or others.
CPAL
does employ persons or entities to perform functions
on our behalf, such as sending postal and email and
processing credit card payments. Such persons or entities
have access to personal information needed to perform
their functions, but may not use such information for
any other purposes.
NCPAL has contractual arrangements with certain partners
to provide information and services through our website.
Each of these partners may set and access "cookies"
on your computer through our website. The use of such
"cookies" by each of these partners is subject
to their own privacy policy, not the privacy policy
of NCPAL. We believe these partners share a similar
commitment to privacy and urge you to review their privacy
policies when visiting their sites. However, we cannot
be responsible for their privacy policies.
NCPAL works to protect the security of your information
during transmissions by using industry standard practices,
including "firewalls" and Secure Sockets Layer
software, which encrypts information you input. We reveal
only the last five digits of your credit card numbers
during donation confirmation, although the entire credit
card number is transmitted to the appropriate credit card
company during processing. While we use several different
techniques and policies to ensure the security of your
personal information from unauthorized access and use,
you should be aware that absolute security does not exist
as to information on the Internet. In this regard, it
is important for you to protect against unauthorized access
to your password and to your computer.
