Information Collection and Use

The Indy Rainbow Chamber is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. Any information submitted or collected by this website is solely for the use of the Indy Rainbow Chamber for the purpose of benefit to its memebers and/or non-commercial community service. We will not sell, share or rent this information to others for any reason whatsoever.

This website contains links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. Please read the privacy statements of each website that collects identifiable information.

eList

gayIndy's eList (listserv) is considered confidential; however, this is by request to its members only. While no posts remain on a web server for public or search engine access, it is a public listserv, and all previous posts can be retrieved via email by any subscriber with fairly well-known commands. Thus, technically all posts to the gayIndy listserv are public record, and consideration should be given to this fact prior to posting.

Subscription to the gayIndy eList is automated and unrestricted; however, we reserve the right to deny subscription, or remove a subscriber form the list, at the sole discretion of the site administrator.

Email "Spoofing"

Robot programs operated by unscrupulous spammers are constantly trolling the web harvesting email addresses from websites. To protect members and site users from this practice, gayIndy uses a proprietary email "spoofing" system in which emails must be sent by a popup window from the site, and no email addresses appear on the page or the source code at any time.

Security & Passwords

This website takes every precaution to protect users' information. We do not collect sensitive information such as credit card numbers or social security numbers, thus no SSL encryption is provided for information submitted. All passwords are one-way encrypted on the database; they can not be retrieved as sumbitted. Regardless, it is strongly advised that passwords used on gayIndy be unique to this site and not used elsewhere.

PayPal payments are handled third party by PayPal and are subject to their privacy and security policies.

Questions or concerns about privacy should be directed to the site webmaster.
