| Your Information and Privacy Thank you for visiting Neighborhoodprotector.com©. Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy, we provide this statement explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used at this site. At Neighborhoodprotector.com©, we allow usage of some site features without registration and providing us any personal identification information. Registration allows you to use all site features and we only require you to provide us a valid email address, a screen name and an approximate physical home address. The email address serves as your user ID and allows us to provide email alerts to you as you select in your registration. The home address allows us to direct the appropriate site content regarding your community to you. We have no interest in your exact home address as the mapping functions only provide approximate location. The screen name provides some identification on message board and other logs. Neighborhoodprotector.com© is a personally and socially responsible website and as such we will not sell, rent or otherwise release any personal information entrusted to us for any reason except noted below. We may disclose personally identifiable information in response to legal process, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena. We also may disclose such information in response to a law enforcement agency`s request, or where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our terms of use, abuse or harassment or to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing our Web Site and applicable laws or as otherwise required or permitted by law or consistent with legal requirements. In addition, we may transfer personally identifiable information about you if we are acquired by, sold to, or merged with another company. Agents and contractors who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Statement by, for example, not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for us. Information provided to us regarding crime, suspicious activity or TIPS related to either will be provided to law enforcement as appropriate in keeping with our mission of crime prevention and community safety. Anonimity of submitters will be protected except as stated above. Although we take appropriate measures to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information that we collect is completely safe from unauthorized or illegal access from outside parties (hacking). That is one reason why we request only minimal information to register you as a site user. If you choose to submit text content for publication on bulletin, event or message boards the information you choose to submit will be posted, we will only post your screen name and your approximate map coordinates (for mapping features) from your registration information. Non-personal Information We sometimes use the non-personally identifiable information that we collect to improve the design and content of our site and to enable us to personalize your Internet experience. We also may use this information in the aggregate to analyze site usage, as or consistent with legal requirements.
