LOG FILES
We use IP addresses to help us analyze trends, administer the site, track users movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We may conduct aggregate analysis and develop business intelligence that enables us to operate, protect, make informed decisions, and report on the performance of our operations.
COOKIES
Our site uses ‘cookies’. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie enables us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site, but cookies are in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site.

NEWSLETTER
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and e-mail address.
SURVEYS AND PETITIONS
Our online surveys may ask visitors for contact information (like their e-mail or mailing address). We use contact data from our surveys to send the user information about GPAHE and its activities. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section. Other data collected by online surveys is used to educate GPAHE about the interests and concerns of its supporters and general site visitors concerning GPAHE’s mission. This information is not shared with other organizations. GPAHE may operate e-mail discussions and use contact lists to reach its members who request such information. Such services may be run both by GPAHE and contracted vendors. These e-mail addresses whether housed on GPAHE servers or those of a third-party contractor are never shared with any other organization and users may opt out of participating or receiving e-mail information from GPAHE at any time. Instructions are contained within each e-mail sent as well as on the help page of our Web site.
SHARING
We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.
If we use an outside shipping company to ship future orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services, these companies will be contractually prohibited from retaining, sharing, storing or using personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes. We may partner with third parties to provide specific services. When a user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties will be contractually prohibited from using personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
​We occasionally exchange or rent our contributor mailing lists with carefully selected organizations whose information we believe may be of interest to our donors. Our ability to share your name with other charities or businesses will help us build our supporter base and expand our programs in a cost-effective way. If you prefer that we do not exchange or rent your name and postal address, please let us know by following the instructions in the opt-out procedures below
