Friends of Mason Neck State Park Privacy Policy

The Friends of Mason Neck State Park (FMNSP) places a high priority on protecting your privacy. This privacy policy was created in order to demonstrate the FMNSP’s firm commitment to the privacy of our members and website users. This policy explains what types of information is collected on the FMNSP website (http://www.masonneckstateparkfriends.org) and how this information is used.

What Personally Identifiable Information is Collected

FMNSP members who register as members and individuals who sign up to receive FMNSP e-communications voluntarily provide us with contact information (such as name, mailing address and e-mail address). We may use this information for specific, limited purposes. You may always "opt out," either now or at any time in the future, if you do not wish to receive our messages.

Control over your personal information

You are able to opt out of receiving our electronic communications.  You are also able to edit your information to correct it or to make any changes.

IP addresses

The FMNSP site administrator uses your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer the FMNSP website, and for statistical metrics used to track website visitor traffic.

Cookies

The FMNSP website uses "cookie" messages to automatically help provide better services. They remind us who you are and your preferences for our website based on what you've done and told us before. The "cookie" is placed in your computer and is read when you come back to our website. Cookies let us take you to the information and features you're particularly interested in. They also let us track your usage of the FMNSP website so we know which parts of our sites are most popular. You can reject cookies or cancel them by instructing your Web browser accordingly.

How Your Information May Be Used

We use your personal information to provide you with personalized service; to send e-mail alerts to you; to answer your requests; to process your membership application; etc. You may choose to opt out at any time, which will cease all communications from us. We may also use your information to track visitors of our website. This lets us see which of our features are the most popular so we can better serve our users' needs. It also lets us provide aggregate data about our traffic (not identifying you personally, but showing how many visitors used which features, for example) to outside parties.

Who has access to your information

FMNSP committees, such as Membership and Outreach, will access your information in order to communicate with you regarding MNSP events, volunteer opportunities, and for renewals.

The FMNSP does not provide, sell, or rent email addresses to anyone outside the organization.

How we protect your information

We protect the information that we collect from you by use of up-to-date computer anti-viral software and software firewalls.
