• The first reason is to help us stay in touch with you and keep you better informed about activities and events related to school.

• The second reason is so we can build a stronger membership list and community to serve the needs of parents, staff and students of Nimitz.

• The last reason is that electronic communications is far less expensive than printed communications and the savings, which are now free to go toward other school expenses, can be significant. By giving us data in electronic form, it also saves staff time and money re-entering the data.

How We Will Protect The Data You Submit

• Some content you submit may become publicly accessible by others. This may include comments, questions, surveys or explicit content you submit. We will always try to let you know what will be public and what will be private. For example some surveys may contain both public and private data. We will tell you in simple words what we're going to do with data you give us before you enter any.

• The Nimitz PTA promises to never give your name, address, email or phone number to any other organization for any purpose whatsoever, without your explicit consent. This consent will always be explicitly an opt-in process where the default will be to not give your information out unless you took action to grant that permission to us.

• The Nimitz PTA promises to never sell your private data to any commercial organization for any purpose.

• The Nimitz PTA promises to require that any private data you submit will always be subject to an equally strict or more strict set of privacy rules in any organizational re-arrangements, mergers, or re-incorporations, and any inability to enforce this privacy policy upon your data will cause us to delete your data.

• The Nimitz PTA will never provide unprotected public access on-line to your data. Specifically, we will endeavour to block web and email spiders from ascertaining any data whatsoever, and we will always require a username and password to read, create, or edit any personal data.

• The NimitzPTA.ORG Portal stores most user data in cryptographically strong reversible hashes. Likewise, any browser cookies that may persist across sessions are also strongly hashed to prevent unauthorized access to that data.
