COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION:

PRIVACY OF OUR EMAIL LIST AND PERSONAL INFORMATION:

HOW THE ALLIANCE USES YOUR INFORMATION:

The Alliance may use your information:

INFORMATION SHARING WITH UNAFFILIATED THIRD PARTIES:

In addition to those disclosures mentioned above, the Alliance will disclose your personally identifiable information to another entity (i) for purposes of outsourcing one or more of the functions described in the previous section; and (ii) as otherwise disclosed on the Websites when you provide your personal information. We may also share your information in response to a subpoena, legal order or official request, when we believe you have acted in violation of the terms of use, or when we believe that doing so may protect your safety or the safety of others.

INFORMATION SHARING WITH AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS:

We may share your personally identifiable information with affiliated organizations, including without limitation AlGore.com, to the extent those organizations share our concerns about privacy.

SHARING AND USE OF DE-IDENTIFIED INFORMATION:

Information that is de-identified (stripped of any information that could be used to identify you) may be used by the Alliance for any reason and shared freely with affiliates, partners and other third parties.

COLLECTION AND USE OF CHILDREN'S PERSONAL INFORMATION:

The Alliance does not solicit personally identifying information from children. Visitors who are under 13 years of age should ask their parent or legal guardian for assistance when using the Alliance Websites and should not submit any personally identifying information to the Alliance Websites.

USE OF COOKIES:

We may use cookies to tailor your experience on the Alliance sites according to the preferences you have specified. When you visit the Web sites, your browser may save a tiny piece of information on your computer. This information personalizes and improves your experience online. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you chose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience all features of the Alliance web sites.

HOW WE PROTECT INFORMATION:

The Alliance attempts to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your personal information. Our servers are protected by reasonable physical and electronic security measures. How you can view or update your personal information: To ensure that you have as much control over your personally identifiable information as possible, you may update your information by contacting us at . We will use reasonable efforts to process any change you make; provided, however, that requests to delete information are subject to The Alliance’ internal reporting and retention policies and all applicable legal obligations.

IP ADDRESSES, LOG FILES AND DATA ANALYSIS:

As with any Web site operator, the Alliance analyzes our Web site logs to constantly improve the value of our Web sites. We use an external service to provide real-time reporting to us and our authorized agents of browser accesses to our sites. This includes page views, unique visitors, repeat visitors, frequency of visits, and peak-volume traffic periods.

We log IP addresses which describe the location of your computer or network on the Internet. This information is helpful for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes. We may also use third-party services such as Google Analytics. These practices help us understand traffic patterns and know if there are problems with our Web sites. We may also use embedded images and unique URLs in email messages to track open rates for our mailings and to facilitate the process of signing petitions and filling out surveys.

PETITIONS AND SURVEYS:

For petitions and surveys you’ve signed or completed, we treat your name, city, state, and comments as public information – for example, we may provide compilations of petitions, with your comments, to the President and legislators, other targets, or to the press. We will not make your street address publicly available, but we may transmit it to members of Congress and to the President as part of a petition. We may also make your comments, along with your first name, city and state available to the press and public online.

CHANGES TO THIS STATEMENT:

We may occasionally update this privacy statement especially as new features are added to this Web site. If there are material changes to this statement or in how we will use your personal information, we will prominently note such changes prior to their implementation. We encourage you to periodically review this page to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
