PRIVACY POLICY
Permanent Defense is highly committed to the protection of your privacy. The following policy applies only to “www.permanentdefense.org” and “www.pdarchives.org”” (and the underlying pages that operate under those primary URLs).

SITE VISITORS
A site visitor is any person who connects to and views any section of our website outside of the Permanent Defense organization. Permanent Defense collects the following information from site visitors when they connect to our website:

• IP Address. Your IP address is recorded when you visit our Site for identification purposes. An IP address is a number that’s automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Web servers – the computers that send out Web pages – automatically identify your computer by its IP address. Permanent Defense uses IP addresses to track visitors’ surfing behavior and improve accessibility to the site. Although site visitors’ IP addresses are recorded, those visitors remain anonymous to us. We will use IP addresses to identify users only if necessary to enforce compliance with our Terms or Service or to protect our site, organization, and members.
• Cookies. Our site transfers pieces of information to site visitors’ hard drives for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make surfing the Web much easier for you because they record your preferences and surfing behaviors. Most browsers are set to automatically enable cookies. You can configure your browser to reject cookies, but this may affect your ability to use many websites. Permanent Defense does not share information collected by cookies with any other party.

Permanent Defense does not require personal or private information from site visitors to browse.

INTERACTIVE VISITORS
Permanent Defense encourages site visitors to become “interactive visitors” by contacting us with thoughts, comments, questions, or suggestions.

An interactive visitor is a site visitor that initiates communication with Permanent Defense either electronically or by mail. Interactive visitors are not required to provide their name and email address when they submit comments to Permanent Defense through its submission form. Permanent Defense maintains this form for the explicit purpose of allowing interactive visitors to remain anonymous.

Those interactive visitors who do provide their personal information to Permanent Defense and indicate they would like a response or newsletter subscription do so of their own choosing. Personal information is treated with great care and is not shared with any other third party, at any time, for any commercial or noncommercial purpose, without consent of the interactive visitor, unless (a) the information is subpoenaed or required by court order, or (b) we find that your actions on our Site violate our Terms of Service.

By pressing any “submit” button on our website, and thereby using our submission forms, you agree to: (a) refrain from “spamming” the form (purposely submitting the form repeatedly in order to clog up the submission system), (b) not submit profane, racist, or other derogatory comments, and (c) use the submission forms only to convey your comments/opinions, ask questions, or request information or a subscription.

When you make a submission to Permanent Defense, you are allowed to specify what Permanent Defense will do with that information. Your wishes are followed as best as possible. However, Permanent Defense makes no warranty or guarantee that the information will be used in the exact manner in which you specified.

SUPPORTERS
Site visitors and interactive visitors are given the opportunity volunteer and become supporters of Permanent Defense if they wish. Applicants must provide personal information about themselves, their residence, and means of contact in order to become supporters. Applicants must also agree to Permanent Defense’s mission, vision, values, and policies to participate in Permanent Defense’s work.
