ICAAT: Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us and we want you to feel as comfortable as possible visiting our web site and using its services. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it. By using the OpiateAddictionRx.org site or any of the family of sites (mmtp.org, NarcoticAddictionRx.org, Drugaddiction.com) you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Information OpiateAddictionRx.Org Gathers and Tracks

We gather two types of information about users:

Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate in our message boards or forums, to email a friend, and from participation in surveys.
Information we gather through aggregated tracking information compiled predominantly by looking at the number of page views and unique visitors to various sections of the site. This information allows us to better tailor our content to readers' needs and to help our content providers better understand the demographics of our audience.

Optional, voluntary submission of personal information

1. Electronic Newsletters (Dispatches)

We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. OpiateAddiction.Org gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. The e-mails are stored and utilized for their intended purpose until the user remove themselves from the mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points users to the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at the time of registration.

2. Cookies

We may collect anonymous, non-Personal Information about your use of our Site through the use of "cookies". Cookies are small computer files that we transfer to your computer's hard drive that allow us to know how often someone visits our Site and the activities they conduct while on our site (such as the chat rooms visited, etc.). Every computer is assigned a different cookie by OpiateAddictionRx.org. The information collected by cookies can help us dynamically generate content specifically designed for you and also allows us to statistically monitor how many people are using our site and for what purpose. Cookies also help us authenticate our users. Most browsers offer instructions on how to reset the browser to reject cookies.

3. Public Forums/Message Boards

This Privacy Policy does not protect you when you use any OpiateAddictionRx.org discussion groups. As a service we may feature bulletin boards or online discussions. Any information shared in a bulletin board or online discussion is public information and may be seen or collected by third parties that do not adhere to our Privacy Policy. You should have no expectation of privacy when participating in a bulletin board or online discussion group.

4. Surveys

OpiateAddictionRx.org may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic information in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and partners. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party.

Aggregated Tracking Information

Usage tracking – OpiateAddictionRx.org tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. We do break down overall usage statistics according to a domain name (ibm.com, bethisraelny.org), browser type (Explorer, Netscape), and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (informational code contained in every user's browser). Sometimes we track and catalog the search terms that users enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual users. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.
Use and Sharing the Information – OpiateAddictionRx.org uses the above-described information to tailor our content to suit your needs and help better understand our audience's demographics. We will not share information about individual users with any third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process.
