TTP does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise disclose to any business, organization, individual, or other outside entity information provided by people who visit or interact with the website, except that consultants working with us on specific projects may have temporary access to such information.
TTP will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on TTP or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of TTP; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of TTP, or the public.
We do not disclose information you enter on a sign-up page to outside entities.
If you sign a petition, your name and state may be included in an electronic file or print-out delivered to legislators or other policy makers.
The information you enter on a donation page may be shared with third-party service providers, such as those that verify credit card information. TTP complies with PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) and does not maintain credit card information on our servers
The TTP website uses cookies to save you time. When you return to the same TTP website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the TTP features that you customized and so that you don’t have to re-enter information on action or donation pages. We also use cookies to allow us to evaluate and improve the website and facilitate outreach based on user interest.
Information about your computer hardware and software may be automatically collected by TTP. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used to evaluate and improve the TTP website.

TTP makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation that the site is protected from viruses, security threats, or other vulnerabilities, or that your information will always be secure.
We respect your privacy and give you an opportunity to opt-out of receiving emails and correspondence from us.
