Telework Exchange Privacy Policy for all correspondence
Effective April 05, 2005
The Telework Exchange understands the importance of protecting the privacy of information of our registrants. Accordingly, we strive for compliance with all Federal and state privacy laws and follow industry best practices in order to best serve our community. Please see the following guidelines below to demonstrate our commitment to privacy.

How We Use Collected Information
The information we collect is gathered from the registration page. For each visitor to our Web site, our web server automatically recognizes only the visitor’s host name and IP address, but not the e-mail address. In addition, we collect aggregate information on what web pages visitors access or visit, and registration information. For registrants, we collect names, e-mail addresses, agency affiliations, General Schedule Pay Grade/Step salary, and commuting information. However, there is no salary information attached to the registrants’ records. All salary information is used for general statistic purposes and is not associated to personal registration.
How We Use Collected Information
The information we collect is used to improve the content of our Web pages, customize the content and layout of our pages for each individual visitor, and/or notify visitors about updates to our Web site. As part of the registration agreement, registrants will be contacted by us through e-mail to communicate with them about future offerings from the Telework Exchange. We may share non-personal, aggregate statistics about commuting agency affiliation and average General Schedule Pay Grade/Step salary information; however, none of the information we disclose in this form can be used to personally identify site members. Certain information — such as the registrant’s password — is never disclosed in any form to outside parties.
E-mail Communications
Registrants that have supplied e-mail addresses, will receive e-mails pertaining to teleworking and updates to the Telework Exchange. Registrants can “opt-out” from receiving these types of e-mails by using the opt-out mechanism located in the received e-mail message.
In addition, registrants can utilize an alternative non-government e-mail address, but must provide a “.gov”, “.mil”, “.us”, or “.edu” e-mail address for registration.
All E-mails
If registrants wish to opt-out of the e-mail messages, please let us know by contacting info@teleworkexchange.com. It will take up to 10 business days to process the opt out request.
Correcting/Updating Information
The Telework Exchange offers registrants the ability to have inaccuracies corrected within their contact information. This information can be corrected by logging onto the Telework Exchange Web site.
Cookies
We use cookies to store visitors’ preferences, as well as record session information, and user-specific information such as what pages users access or visit. Our goal is to ensure that visitors are not repeatedly served the same banner advertisements, customize Web page content based on a visitor’s browser type or other information that the visitor sends.
Ad Servers
To try and bring site members offers that are of interest, we may have relationships with other companies to place advertisements on our Web pages. As a result of a visit to our site, ad server companies may collect information such as visitor domain type, IP address, and clickstream information.
Security
The Telework Exchange takes industry standard precautions to protect member information from unauthorized use including the use of firewalls. When registrants submit information via our Web site, the information is protected both online and offline.
The Telework Exchange Web site may include links to other Web sites. We do not control the privacy policies of the destination sites. Once visitors leave our servers (Visitors can check where they are by checking the URL in the location bar on their browser), use of any information visitors provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site visited. That policy may differ from ours. If visitors cannot find the privacy policy of any of these sites via a link from the site’s homepage, please contact the manager of that site for more information. The Telework Exchange is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of Web sites other than the Telework Exchange Web site.
Policy Updates
From time to time, we may use provided information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy policy. If our information practices change at some time in the future, we will immediately post the policy changes to this Web site to notify visitors and members of these changes. If site visitors and members are concerned about how their information is used, bookmark this page and check back periodically.
Enforcement
If site visitors and members feel that this site is not following its stated information policy, please contact us through the above postal address, e-mail link, or phone number.
