Lady
Liberty currently has a limited privacy policy
that applies to her visitors. It is not that she is not
in favor of privacy; in fact, the truth is quite the contrary. She does
not have a complete privacy policy at this time for the simple reason
that she collects no data whatsoever from her website visitors (a small
cookie, which expires with the end of the visit, is collected by her
third-party hit counters solely for the purposes of incrementation;
there are also a couple of links that collect cookies upon page load,
but all can be refused without any effect on your ability to view her
pages).
Submissions
to Lady Liberty's Constitution Clearing House
will be handled in the following manner:
"Your
View" Essays
- writer's online identity and e-mail address only will be
publicly posted; should Lady Liberty ever learn a writer's offline
identity, such information will be kept entirely to herself.
E-Mail
to Lady Liberty
- though no online transmission is truly secure, Lady Liberty does
not post (at this time) the complete or partial content of any e-mails
to her; she plans to add a "Visitor Comments" page at some
time in the future for select e-mail comments, but will not post such
comments without permission from the writer. The
exceptions are e-mails sent specifically in response to an "Our
View" or "Your View" essay (writer may be identified)
or those which convey an award (writer will not be identified other
than as a representative of said award).
Lady
Liberty does accept and maintain limited personal data
consisting of names (a pseudonym may be used) and e-mail
addresses of visitors who wish to join a mailing
list. She assures participants that those addresses will be used
solely for the purposes of the mailing list, and that even that limited
information will not be provided to any third party (outside the mailing
program provider, which stores the information on a secure server)
under any circumstance within her control. In the event Lady Liberty
exercises her option to conduct onsite opinion polls, the only
information that will be collected and/or archived will be the results
of the poll.
This
privacy policy will be updated and posted
at such time as mailing lists, opinion polls, or any
similar features are added to Lady Liberty's Constitution Clearing House.
Notice of any revisions to the privacy policy will be prominently displayed
on the Lady Liberty's Constitution Clearing House home page. |
