you visit the SE PA ALF website, we automatically obtain information from you
about the name of your Internet service provider, the browser and type of
computer you are using, the website that referred you to us, the pages you
request and the date and time of those requests. We use this information on an
aggregate basis to generate statistics and measure site activity to improve the
usefulness of the site to our visitors. For example, we use this information to
track which pages are most popular among visitors as a whole. We do not track
the pages you or any individual visitor may look at during a visit to our site
and we do not collect any other information without your knowledge and
permission. We do not collect or store personally identifiable information, such
as your name, mailing address, e-mail address or phone number, unless you
provide that information.
Collection of Personally Identifiable Information
The
SE PA ALF provides Web forms so you may provide your contact information to
engage in SE PA ALF activities such as online activism (i.e., contact Congress),
to place orders for products or services, to correspond with the SE PA ALF or to
submit a testimonial (i.e., share your story). Any information we collect, such
as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, type of request you are making
and any additional information you provide, is collected and stored by the SE PA
ALF. The information is used to fulfill your request and track aggregate
information about usage of these features. The SE PA ALF makes every effort to

using industry accepted data collection and encryption methodologies, such as
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).

personally identifiable information to any third parties. If you have any
reservations, questions or concerns about your child's access to this site or
how information that your child provides is used by us, please contact us.
SE PA ALF's Sharing of Personally Identifiable Information
The
SE PA ALF may exchange limited personally identifiable information (such as name
and e-mail address) with partner organizations when people join as dues-paying
members of an affiliate union of the SE PA ALF or the Alliance for Retired
Americans and become part of that organization's regular membership list. The SE PA ALF website will not post your personal contact
information, including e-mail address, street address and phone numbers, without
your consent. Without such consent, website staff will withhold posting personal
contact information for that individual.

about the user. The SE PA ALF website uses a cookie for measuring aggregate web

site visitor views.

updates from the SE PA ALF by regular mail, fax or e-mail. You may opt out of
receiving future information via e-mail by using the unsubscribe procedure

Outside Links
This
site contains hypertext links to other sites. The SE PA ALF is not responsible
for the privacy practices or the content of such websites. We encourage our
users to be aware when they leave our site, and to read the privacy statements
of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information.

Security
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and
alteration of the information under our control.
All the information you provide us through these forms is stored securely
off-line.
We protect user information off-line. All user information is restricted in
our offices. Only employees who need information to perform a specific job
(e.g., our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted
access to personally identifiable information. All employees are kept up-to-date
on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that store sensitive
information are kept in a secure environment.
If you send us an e-mail, you should know that e-mail is not
necessarily secure against interception. So, if your communication includes
sensitive information like your bank account, charge card, or social security
number, and you prefer not to use one of our secure online complaint forms,
contact us by mail or by telephone rather than by e-mail.
Corrections/Updating Personal Information:
If your personal information changes (such as your ZIP code), or if you wish to
have your information removed from our database, contact us and we will endeavor
to provide a way to correct, update or remove that personal data provided to us.
