The privacy and security of all members of Gunpowder Elementary PTA and The Papereless PTO is extremely important.

This privacy statement discloses what information we do and do not collect and how we use it. Any questions or concerns regarding this statement may be directed to your board members.
Should the privacy policy change, all registered members will be notified via email and an announcement will appear on the home page of this website. Website Format This website is divided into two separate sections. First, is an open and unsecure section that the general internet public has access to. Second, is a secured and restricted area that is unique to each registered member. This secured area requires username and password verification and applies a variety of industry standard security measures to maintain the safety of each member's personal information. Further details on these measures are described below, under security. Site Registration To interact with the website, each user will be required to create an account through the registration process.

Cookies "Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive.

We use cookies to establish and maintain the user's session when they log into the secure side of the website. Information that is stored includes the user name as well as data used to keep track of your shopping cart. Once a member logs out of their session, all cookies are deleted. Should a user leave their member session logged in, cookies will expire after 60 minutes. The user will then need to login again to re-establish their session. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that. Not accepting cookies, however, may make certain features of the website unavailable to you. IP Addresses & Browsers The website does collect information about the IP address and browser that each member uses. This information is used in a layer of security as well as to help diagnose any technical issues that may arise. Security Gunpowder Elementary PTA and The Paperless PTO have established and maintain reasonable security procedures to protect the confidentiality, security and integrity of your personally identifiable information. We use a variety of industry-standard security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Personal information that is collected is stored in a secure operating environment that is not available to the general public, nor to the internet public. All activities conducted on the website, including registration, credit card and bank information supplied by users is transmitted via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. This means that information you provide is encrypted so that it can't be read or intercepted by other people. The website contains a valid SSL certificate which is a statement verifying the security of the website. This certificate shows that the security applied to the website is authentic. It also ensures that no other site can assume the identity of this website. Unfortunately, complete security does not exist on the internet. However, Gunpowder Elementary PTA and The Paperless PTO have employed and will continue to employ the most up to date features in internet security to protect all of our members.
