The National Alliance for Hispanic Health (Alliance) has created
this privacy policy because we value our members and recognize their
right to keep personal information private. This statement discloses
our information gathering and dissemination practices for HispanicHealth.org.
The Alliance feels very strongly that private information should
remain private. We will never willfully disclose personally identifiable
information about our users to any third party without first receiving
that user's permission. We would like to hear your feedback about
this statement. If you have comments or questions, please use the
contact form. This policy will be revised
as needed, so your feedback is important.
The National Alliance for Hispanic Health’s Web servers and
forms on the Web gather your IP address to help diagnose problems
with our service, to administer our site, and to gather broad demographic
information. Demographic information is only gathered in aggregate
and cannot be traced to an individual user.
The Alliance Web site sets cookies to deliver content specific to
your interests, to customize our Web site for you, and to save your
password and member name so that you do not have to enter it each
time you visit. A cookie is a small line of data that is stored
on your hard drive. Some cookies are only stored for the duration
of a single browser session; others persist across sessions. We
only save your password and member name if you tell us to do so;
your password is stored on your computer and transferred over the
Internet in an encrypted format. Keep in mind that anyone using
your Web browser can access HispanicHealth.org as you if you choose
to store your member name and password. The Alliance’s Web
servers also set a session ID cookie that is used to allow our servers
to deliver information you request (e.g., search results). Session
IDs are not traceable to an individual person or member name, and
analyzed only in aggregate. Members who do not want to receive cookies
can instruct their Web browsers to refuse them; be aware, however,
that doing so may prevent certain parts of the Alliance’s site
from working (e.g., Community Discussions). Unless you have saved
your member name, cookies are not useable for identifying individuals
(your computer will be assigned a random number); The National Alliance
for Hispanic Health will not know who you are.
Membership on the Alliance's Web site, HispanicHealth.org, is optional.
HispanicHealth.org’s registration form requires users to give
contact information (for example, an e-mail address) and demographic
information (e.g., zip code, age). On our registration form, required
fields are marked with an asterisk. We use this information to send
members information about the National Alliance for Hispanic Health
(e.g., an electronic newsletter); members may opt out of receiving
this information. This information will allow a HispanicHealth.org
member to tailor their experience by delivering content specific
to his or her interests. The National Alliance for Hispanic Health
will not rent names or e-mail addresses to any organization or individual.
Aggregate demographic information collected is HispanicHealth.org's
use only. This aggregate information is not traceable to an individual
user.
When purchasing products or services on HispanicHealth.org, credit
card, billing, and shipping information may be required. This information
is used to bill customers for goods and services purchased and to
ship merchandise. Only billing vendors have access to financial
information and only for billing customers. At times the National
Alliance for Hispanic Health may refer customers to other Web sites
to purchase products. Please refer to the individual privacy policies
of those Web sites.
At times, the National Alliance for Hispanic Health may run online
surveys asking for specific contact or demographic information.
These surveys are always optional. At times, the National Alliance
for Hispanic Health may share both the results of, and individual
entries in, surveys with funding agencies or sponsors of the survey.
Partners may receive results of surveys on an aggregate basis.
The National Alliance for Hispanic Health provides many venues for
member interaction and community as part of the National Hispanic
Digital Community, including Digital Community rooms and other tools.
In some cases, use of such tools (e.g., digital community rooms)
may reveal a user's member name or e-mail address. The National
Alliance for Hispanic Health may share the results of polls on the
HispanicHealth.org Web site. Specific policies govern the use of
HispanicHealth.org’s Digital Community rooms, and other community
tools. Please refer to the Alliance’s Digital Community Guidelines
and the HispanicHealth.org Membership Agreement for those policies.
Users may have the ability to publish certain personal information
(e.g., digital community profiles) as part of the HispanicHealth.org’s
service. In all cases, users create this information by opting in.
Users who do not want this information to be publicly available
should not use these optional features on HispanicHealth.org.
The National Alliance for Hispanic Health stores feedback members
send to us. This feedback allows the Alliance to administer and
refine the HispanicHealth.org’s service. Funding agencies
may receive HispanicHealth.org feedback in either aggregate form
or with specific identifying characteristics (e.g., e-mail address,
name) removed.
Our site provides users the opportunity to opt out of receiving
communications from us at the point where we request information

confidential. Only through a valid legal mechanism such as a search
warrant, subpoena, or court order, to protect the organization's
rights and property, or during emergencies when we believe physical
safety is at risk will the National Alliance for Hispanic Health
disclose private communications. Please remember that what you write
