Privacy Policy


This page describes what information we collect when you visit our web site. The New Jersey Association of Railroad Passengers (NJ-ARP) does not collect personally-identifying information about individuals unless that individual explicitly chooses to provide such information. Personally-identifying information is only collected if the individual subscribes to our Hotline mailing list, sends us e-mail, completes our feedback form, joins NJ-ARP via the web site or postal mail, or registers on the NJ-ARP Blog. We do not sell any information that we collect to third parties.

When our web site is accessed, we collect the following information which does not identify you personally: your IP address (the network address from which you access the Internet), the date & time, which web pages of ours that you access, the web page which linked to our site, and browser & operating system information provided by your web browser. This information is used for internal statistical purposes and to help improve our web site. The online calendar and blog also use browser cookies for operational purposes, but the main portion of the NJ-ARP web site does not use cookies.

If you subscribe to our Hotline mailing list, you are providing us with your e-mail address and your name. We use this information to send you an e-mail notification when the Hotline is updated. You will receive the notification approximately once per week. We will not distribute your e-mail address to others.

If you send us e-mail or use our feedback form, you are identifying yourself to us. We use and save the information you provide to respond to your comments or questions. If you are commenting on NJ-ARP's public positions or opinions (for example, a position paper or Hotline item), we reserve the right to respond publicly and to include your name and e-mail message (but not your e-mail address) in our response. In some cases, we may forward your e-mail message, including your e-mail address, to others if they can help provide the information you need. If the content of your e-mail is confidential, please indicate that it is, and we will honor your request.

If you join NJ-ARP online or send us a membership application by postal mail, we use the information for standard membership purposes including but not limited to sending newsletters, membership renewals, and NJ-ARP election ballots by postal mail, and contacting you by telephone or e-mail with information regarding NJ-ARP activities. Additionally, if you join online, you are providing information to our authorized retailer, 2checkout.com, so they may charge the membership fee to your credit or debit card. The 2checkout.com pages which process your order may use browser cookies. NJ-ARP does not have access to your credit or debit card number.

If you register on the NJ-ARP Blog, you are required to provide your name and a valid e-mail address. The blog software uses your e-mail address to send you your initial password, but your e-mail address will not be published on the blog site. The information you provide is retained in the blog's database. Although we will not sell your e-mail address to third parties, we may contact you via e-mail regarding NJ-ARP activities, including solicitations for NJ-ARP membership.
