The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests is committed to protecting your privacy, and this Privacy Policy is intended to explain our information collection and sharing practices.
1) Collection of Personal Information
Our web server automatically records the domain name and Internet Protocol (IP) address of each visitor to our site. We collect and analyze this information to help us improve the site and its resources for our visitors. This information helps us determine which pages you visit, how long you stay and the site you visited immediately beforehand. The Forest Society uses Google Analytics, AddThis and MailChimp to measure visitor interaction with the website.
Google Analytics’ Privacy Policy
Beyond the above information, the Forest Society only collects personal information (e.g., name, email, mailing address and phone number) that you voluntarily submit to us. Our website allows you to fill out and submit a variety of documents through web forms. When you use these forms, we store a record of your entry to analyze and determine usage statistics.
Registration is not required to view our website; however, access to some information available on our website may require creating an account on the site.
2) Use of Personal Data Collected
The Forest Society will not sell or rent to third parties any individually identifying information, such as names, postal and email addresses, telephone numbers, and other personal information which you voluntarily provide to us, except (a) to provide the services you have requested; (b) to the extent necessary to comply with applicable laws or valid legal processes; (c) to protect the Forest Society's intellectual property and other legal rights; or (d) limited exchange of names and postal addresses with other like-minded organizations using a process that does not permit the other organization to review or retain a copy of the membership list. These periodic exchanges allows the Forest Society to expand its membership base by obtaining the names and addresses of other likely donors. (Any user may choose to opt out of these exchanges by contacting us at the address below). Information submitted to us is only available to employees managing this information for the purposes of contacting you or sending you permission-based emails following your request for information, and to contracted service providers for the purposes of providing services relating to our communications with you.
The Forest Society works with MailChimp to provide users with its email update and newsletter services. While Mailchimp has access to your personally identifiable information in order to provide email services, they are required to maintain the privacy of all information in their control and can only use the information on our behalf for the stated purpose and are not authorized to use your information for any other purpose. You may opt out of any Forest Society e-newsletter by clicking “unsubscribe” at the bottom of each newsletter and following the subsequent instructions.
3) User’s Rights
You may obtain a summary of your personally identifiable information retained by us, or modify, correct, change or update such information by contacting the Forest Society via the postal address, email address, or telephone number listed below.
You may also request that Forest Society remove from its database any personally identifiable information you have previously provided by contacting us via the postal address, email address, or telephone number listed below. Complete removal may not be immediate, and in some instances, all archival copies may be impossible to delete. Also, if you would like to opt out of receiving any communications, please contact the Forest Society at info@forestsociety.org.
4) Links
The website may contain links to other Internet websites. However, the Forest Society does not endorse, and is not responsible for, the privacy practices or the content of these websites. You should review these policies in connection with your use of such third-party sites.
5) Security Measures
The Forest Society has established reasonable precautions to protect collected personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. Although the Forest Society takes reasonable precautions to assess the reliability of such technology, it relies on the statements of the vendors of those products and services as part of its security evaluation. Please note that while the Forest Society has endeavored to create a secure and reliable website for our users, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to/from the Forest Society via the website or email cannot be guaranteed.
