NEA HIN Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting NEAHIN.org, the Web site of the National Education Association Health Information Network (“NEA HIN”). This Privacy Statement covers information collected at the following Web sites: www.neahin.org . For simplicity, we will refer to this as "our site."

When you visit our site you may provide us with two types of information: (1) non-personal information that is collected on an aggregate basis from all users, and (2) personal information you voluntarily choose to disclose through registering, filling out a profile form, or joining an e-mail list.

Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information
If you do nothing during your visit but browse, read pages, or download information, our sites' operating system will automatically record the following information about your visit without reference to your personal identity.
The Internet domain for your Internet service, such as "xcompany.com" or "xcompany.net" if you use a private Internet access account, or "yourcollege.edu" if you connect from a college or university domain.

  • The type of browser that you use (e.g., "American Online version 7" or "Microsoft Internet Explorer 5").
  • The type of operating system that you use (e.g., Windows or Macintosh).
  • The date and time you visit our sites, and the Web pages that you visit on our sites.
  • The address of the previous Web site you visited, if you linked to us from another Web site.
  • The address of the next Web site you visit, if you linked to it from our sites.

This information is used to help us diagnose technical problems. We also use this information to track user interests so that we can provide content and special offers of interest to our sites' users. We gather this information in the aggregate -- as a total, not linked to individual users -- and we may share it with NEA, other NEA affiliates, NEA Member Benefits Corporation, , NEA Foundation for the Improvement of Education, and certain other reputable entities which share our interests.

Collection and Use of Personal Information
NEA HIN collects and uses personal information that you voluntarily provide for the purposes described below. By "personal information," we mean information that on its own can specifically identify you. This includes, among other things, your name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, credit card number, etc.
All personal data is kept secure and confidential and is protected against unauthorized access. 

Web Surveys 
NEA HIN values your opinions and comments, so we periodically conduct online surveys. The surveys are entirely optional for all members. The information collected is aggregated and used to help improve NEA HIN products and services and to develop appealing Web Site content and features.

External Links
NEAHIN.org may link to Web sites provided by third-party vendors. Please refer to the privacy statements of third-party vendors regarding personal information collected when making purchases from their sites (e.g., online professional development opportunities within the “Marketplace” section of NEA.org).

Email Lists
If you choose to sign-up for one of our e-mail newsletter lists, we ask for your e-mail address and may ask for other personal information. We use this information to administer the e-mail lists and to track user interests.
Although we may share our e-mail lists with NEA, other NEA affiliates, NEA Member Benefits Corporation, and NEA Foundation for the Improvement of Education, we do not sell, lease, or rent these lists to any other entities.

Feedback and Other Contact Forms
While we do not ordinarily share personal information that you provide to us on feedback and other contact forms with third parties, depending on the reason(s) for your contact, it may be necessary to share personal information with third parties to comply with your request.

Miscellaneous
You may choose to participate in other activities at our sites (online or offline) that may require you to disclose personal information. These activities may include polls, questionnaires, surveys, raffles, and contests, etc. Because of the nature of these activities, it may be unavoidable to share some or all of the volunteered personal information of all participants with third parties when necessary to conduct the activity. Participants will be made aware if volunteered information is shared with 3rd parties.

These linked-sites will have their own policies and practices that may be different from ours. We therefore encourage you to familiarize yourself with the policies and practices of the linked-sites, especially if you provide personal information to them.
