We are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of our community, staff, volunteers, subcontractors, vendors and audience.
Harassment Prevention Policy
Pregnancy After Loss Support (PALS) is committed to a volunteer and work environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity. Each individual has the right to serve and work in a professional atmosphere that promotes equal opportunities and prohibits discriminatory practices, including harassment. Therefore, PALS expects that all relationships among persons volunteering and working with PALS will be business-like and free of bias, prejudice, discrimination, and harassment.
In order to keep this commitment, PALS maintains a strict policy of prohibiting unlawful harassment of any kind, including sexual harassment and harassment based on race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, sex, age, physical or mental disability or any other characteristic protected by state, federal or local employment discrimination laws. This policy applies to all volunteers, board members, employer agents and employees, including supervisors and non-supervisory employees, and to nonemployees who engage in unlawful harassment in the workplace. This policy applies not only to conduct during the normal course of PALS work, but also to all related PALS events and functions.
Unlawful harassment is unwelcome verbal, written or physical conduct or other acts which are based on an individual’s protected class status and which either is made a condition of employment, interferes with a person’s work or can reasonably be seen to create a hostile, intimidating, or offensive environment. Harassment can include:
- Physical, verbal, or psychological abuse based on an individual’s protected characteristics such as stereotyping, name calling, assaulting, sabotaging, segregating or purposeful excluding or ignoring, or threatening any individual in the workplace.
- Mimicry, epithets, slurs, bullying.
- Offensive jokes or email messages.
- Vulgar, obscene or derogatory language.
- Offensive gestures or pranks.
- Display of offensive or graphic pictures, cartoons, jokes, photos, posters, calendars, graffiti, or other offensive graphic displays.
- Unwelcome physical touching or invading of personal space including rubbing, groping, brushing up against another, slapping, etc.
Sexual harassment is one type of harassment and includes unwelcome sexual advances or visual, verbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature or based on an individual’s gender. Sexual harassment includes many forms of offensive behavior and can include behavior toward someone of the same or different gender as the harasser. The following is a partial list of sexual harassment examples:
- Unwelcome sexual advances, verbal, written, physical, or otherwise.
- Unwelcome requests or demands for sexual favors. This includes subtle or blatant expectations to engage in sexual relations, pressure for dates, etc.
- Offering employment benefits in exchange for sexual favors.
- Threatening or suggesting employment detriment for failing to comply with sexual demands.
- Unwelcome physical conduct such as patting, pinching, brushing up against, hugging, cornering, kissing, fondling, touching, assaulting, impeding or blocking movements, or any other similar conduct.
- Making a submission to or rejection of harassment the basis of any employment decision.
- Leering, making sexual gestures.
- Displaying of sexually suggestive objects or pictures, cartoons or posters.
- Verbal conduct or kidding that includes making derogatory or sexual comments, such as telling dirty jokes and comments about body parts, appearance or clothing, where such comments go beyond mere courtesy.
- Suggestive, sexual, or obscene letters, notes, emails or invitations.
Harassment (both sexual and other harassment based on protected class status) can include social media transmissions that are composed, transmitted, or received. Such communications must not contain content that could be considered discriminatory, obscene, threatening, harassing, or intimidating to PALS volunteers, employees, donors, or other individuals.
Volunteers and employees who violate this policy are subject to discipline up to and including the possibility of immediate discharge.
Any volunteer, employee or other person who believes he or she has been harassed by a coworker, supervisor, fellow volunteer or agent of PALS or by a nonemployee should promptly report the facts of the incident or incidents and the names of the individual(s) involved to the Executive Director, Operations Director or to a member of the Board of Directors. Upon receipt of a complaint, PALS will undertake a prompt, thorough, objective and good faith investigation of the harassment allegations. Reports will be treated as confidentially as possible in light of the need to fully investigate the matter and take appropriate corrective action. Care will be taken to preserve the dignity and privacy of the complaining party, witnesses and others involved in the matter.
If the organization determines that harassment has occurred, effective remedial action will be taken in accordance with the circumstances involved. Any volunteer or employee determined by the PALS to be responsible for harassment will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Volunteers and employees will not be retaliated against for filing a complaint and/or assisting in a complaint or investigation process. Further, we will not tolerate or permit retaliation by supervisors or co-workers against any complainant or anyone assisting in a harassment investigation. If anyone believes he or she is being retaliated against for reporting or assisting in an investigation of harassment, they should report that immediately to the Executive Director, Operations Director, or to a member of the Board of Directors.

THIRD-PARTY DISCLOSURE
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personal information unless we provide users with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release information when its release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property or safety.
However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
SECURITY
The security of your personal information is important to us.
Our App and website are scanned on a regular basis for security holes and known vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to our App as safe as possible.
We use regular Malware Scanning. (remove if not applicable but install Malware ASAP)
Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.
In addition, all sensitive/credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
We implement a variety of security measures when a user places an order enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information.
All transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.
Unfortunately, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
