First a brief summary compiled here as there has been several inquires
into this:

REGARDING PRIVACY RIGHTS: (Taken directly from the TOS of change.org)
* "Your personal information will never be given to anyone without your
knowledge Your personal information is just that - yours. We will never
give your personal information to any organization without your
explicit consent."

* "Change.org will never sell or trade our contact lists."

REGARDING EMAILS:
* "Only receive Email messages you want"

* "We know that you are busy and receiving email notifications from a
social site can be distracting. We also know that some people like to
receive up-to-the-minute updates on the activities they are interested
in. For that reason we allow our users full control over the type of
email notifications they receive."

"To edit your email settings, click on the "Account Settings" button
on the right of your profile page and select the "Email Notifications"
link on the subsequent page. Also, any update email that we send will
include an unsubscribe link that you can immediately click on to opt
out of future mailings."

Again, please do not hesitate to address questions directly to myself
as I am the owner and maintainer of the FURO petitions ( FB user,
FUROalert ) should you have any questions regarding the petitions or
need any help finding your way around change.org.

The potential impact of these petitions can NOT be understated. The
victories brought about by action through change.org petitions range
not simply across a spectrum of categories, but across international
lines: there are political victories like the CA Dream Act being
signed into law, environmental victories like California Shark Fin
Ban Becoming Law, even international victories like Chinese Dissident
Ai Weiwei being Freed After Landmark Change.org Campaign

We sign and share, and share again. And again.

We do not stop until those with the power to end this daily horror for
so many thousands of lives understand that we will NOT be silenced, we
will NOT be ignored, we will NOT be waited out.

So, as we say at the end of each and every post, Please S&S! ;)
