Registration exists solely to protect the privacy and security of individualized settings required for these services, and includes the solicitation of certain information from you. The following items elaborate on this information and how we use it.

2. Your self-chosen password is stored on a secure server and will under no circumstances be divulged except to the e-mail address associated with it in the subscription account.
3. You may inform us at any time if you would like to cancel your account and/or have your contact information deleted from our records.

Information Collected By Web Servers
Join Together Online web servers automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information, such as which pages each user visits and the domain name (e.g., aol.com) of visitors. This information is used to measure traffic and usage patterns. The servers also log IP addresses, or the location of your computer on the Internet, for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes, as well as for aggregate site usage statistics. We do not use IP address logs to track your session or your behavior on our site. We do not release this information to other organizations or individuals, nor do we link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable.
Use of Cookies
Join Together employs anonymous browser "cookies" to track site usage from all visitors. As noted above, we also use cookies as part of the account sign up and maintenance processes. Join Together does not employ third party cookies from any outside organization. Users who do not accept cookies from the domain "jointogether.org" may access any web content, but they will not be able to sign up for or manage an online account.
E-mail this Article and Tell a Friend features

The e-mail addresses that you supply to use these services will only be used to transmit the e-mail, let your recipient(s) know who sent the message, and notify you of any transmission errors.
