Privacy and Legal Information
Overview
You have chosen to access the Web site of The Georgia 9-12 Project (hereafter: "GA912"). Our mission is to educate Georgians in the principles of the United States Constitution, so that we may act in the defense of liberty, capitalism, and inalienable human rights.
We welcome people of every political stripe. We know that many may disagree on various policy positions. We don't care. All that is required is a certain sense or concern that our country is on the wrong track and the desire to work to return it to the Constitutional roots of the Founding. When we have stemmed the damage that has been done to us by our out of control Federal government, we may find that we are not so different after all. At that time, we may find that we will be able to discuss particular issues without screaming at each other. Such solidarity will be a welcome side-effect, but it is not our principal purpose.
Conduct
Members are expected to conduct themselves in a civil manner in any online or face-to-face forum (like periodic group meetings or demonstrations). Anyone who engages in inappropriate behavior toward other members or the public at large will be warned or asked to leave at the sole discretion of the group's leadership.
Our ideal is for us to be the ambassadors of that which is "right, proper and good" about limited Constitutional government, an enlightened and involved citizenry in Georgia and America. We believe that other citizens will be looking to us and our group to set the standard.
We are the thought and action leaders in our communities; in our circles of influence. It is up to us. Vigilance will be difficult and, at times, inconvenient. We must rise above the base partisanship and strident arguments that beset our present political arena. We must be better than our opposition - unfairly or not, the bar has been set high. We must rise to the occasion.
General information gathering
At this time, we do not employ cookies (that is, in computing, is a small string of text stored on a user's computer by a web browser. They contain bits of information such as user preferences, shopping cart contents, the identifier for a server-based session, or other data used by Web sites. Definition from: Wikipedia.org, edited). We reserve the right to change that policy in the future, as we add more features (that would require cookies to be used). At such a time, we will endeavor to employ "session cookies," which expire after the user leaves GA912's Web site.
We do not know the site(s) you came from before visiting GA912. We do not know the site(s) you visit after you leave GA912. We are able to log your ISP (Internet Service Provider), your system and your browser type and version, but not your individual identity. These pieces of information are reported to us in the aggregate (as a group), not individually. This is to know what kind of users visit us (in the technical sense), so that we may, at our option, modify the GA912 Web site to better serve you.
Specific information gathering
GA912 will gather specific information about you if you give it to us. Examples of this would include signing up as a member ("Join Us") or communicating with us ("Contact Us"). Certain information is mandatory at such times (like your name and email address). Some information is optional at such times (like your phone number or physical address). We need some pieces of information at such times so we can communicate with you.
Email and other communications may be kept by the leadership (or officers fulfilling "communicative" duties for GA912).
GA912 will hold your information in the strictest confidence, using industry standard data security. We will not give away or sell any personal information. We will give personal information to appropriate law enforcement agencies (after appropriate subpoenas and other due processes) in the event of a bonafide criminal matter. We will retain personal information and communication for law enforcement agencies in the case of threats.
Purpose of this site
GA912 is the official informational and public-facing entity of The Georgia 9-12 Project. Its purpose is the dissemination of information, education and organization for its membership and the interested public at large, in Georgia and in other states. Officers of the various chapters may periodically post event information or publications for the membership and/or the interested public at large. GA912 will not be used for individual communication or the dissemination of personal opinions. Such personal communications (like Web logs - "blogs") are beyond GA912's scope and ability to accommodate such information. There are plenty of online vehicles for such purposes. At the time of this writing, Glenn Beck's 912 Project is one such vehicle. We have no official connection with Glenn Beck, The 9-12 Project, Mercury Radio Arts or any other allied business entity.
GA912 may link to other sites that are not our own. We do not control any information on or policies for outside sites.
