Overview
The Western Los
Angeles County Council, B.S.A. is committed
to respecting and protecting the personal privacy of its members
and those who visit its website. It is our policy to acquire
personal information from users only by overt and voluntary means,
only
when it is in the interest of the user to provide it, and to
utilize this information only for the purpose it was provided.
WLACC does not share personally identifiable
information about its web site visitors with anyone outside the
WLACC.
What information does this site collect?
How is it collected?
This site collects anonymous data that is not
indicative of and cannot be traced to an individual without the
cooperation of their Internet Service Provider. This data includes
information about the user's remote IP address, referral data (which
page "linked" to the present request), and the browser
software's user-agent string. This information is accepted passively
from the HTTP headers that are sent from the user when requesting
any file from the server. Other anonymous data entered by the user
may be collected in a common repository, including terms entered
into the search engine, ZIP codes entered into the council locator,
etc.
Personally identifiable data is collected only
by means of form interfaces on the site, into which the user must
voluntarily enter the information requested. This information is
requested only when
it is necessary to accomplish the overt purpose indicated by the
interface containing the form that requests it.
No attempt is made to covertly or "quietly" collect
personally identifiable information, nor are cookies or any other
tracking technology used for the purpose of coordinating information
that a user may opt to enter in various interfaces on the site.
In most cases, personally identifiable information is not maintained.
Once it has been used for its intended purpose, it is deleted.
Because of the brevity of this interval, no mechanism is provided
to enable users to alter or delete information they have submitted.
Currently, the only place on the website that
collects personally identifiable information is our "Contact
Us" Form, which you can use to contact us via E-Mail. The
information collected on that form will only be used for that particular
E-Mail correspondence, and will not be used for any other purposes.
In the future, we may add mailing-list subscription/notification
options. In that case, we would require your email address and/or
other personally identifying information. We will not use this
information
for any other purpose.
How is this information used?
Reports, statistics, and other analyses of aggregate
anonymous information may be shared within the organization or
provided to
third parties at the sole discretion of the Boy Scouts of America.
This information does not include any personally
identifiable information.
Currently, the only place on the website that
collects personally identifiable information is our "Contact
Us" Form, which you can use to contact us via E-Mail. The
information collected on that form will only be used for that particular
E-Mail correspondence, and will not be used for any other purposes.
We never use or share the personally identifiable
information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones
described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out
or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
We will not share your personally-identifying
information with anyone outside our organization, unless required
to do so
by
law. Exception: The WLACC reserves
the right to use all information at its disposal and to share
this information with
ISPs and other third parties as necessary to investigate any incident
of misuse or abuse of its site, server, or information systems.

This privacy policy is subject to change,
and those changes will be posted here.
