Linking Policy

For purposes of this policy, an “external link” is a hyperlink from the NORC's website to a website maintained by another party. Neither the NORC website nor the external links list on such website constitute a forum for expressive activity by members of the public. Rather, the purpose of the Northeast Ohio Reentry Coalition's website and the external links is to provide information about NORC services, officials as well as resources to other locally pertinent information. The NORC is not responsible for, does not endorse, and cannot assure the accuracy of information on these outside web sites. (See Disclaimer of Endorsement below.)

Every request by a person or entity to have the NORC provide a link from its website to the requesting party’s website must undergo review to determine its relevance and appropriateness to the NORC website’s mission. The Webmaster will review the merits of the requested link, keeping in mind the criteria and examples listed below, to determine whether the link serves the overall purpose of the NORC's website. The request with a recommendation from the Webmaster will be presented to the Executive Director for final approval. A request will not be denied because of a viewpoint espoused by the person or entity. Furthermore, the following criteria will be used in considering requests for links from the Northeast Ohio Reentry Coalition's website.

At its discretion the NORC may provide links to external sites that fall into one of the following categories:

Linkage to Commercial Sites with Advertising

Certain private commercial sites contain information which provide a public or community service which is not generally available through a governmental agency due to the cost of compiling, maintaining and/or displaying such information. To support the cost of compilation and maintenance of this information, these private commercial sites may include advertising or promotional material in the information display. Although the NORC neither supports nor endorses entities advertised or promoted on such sites, it recognizes that a public benefit is served by providing the underlying information to assist Northeast Ohio residents. Accordingly, links to such sites which contain this information, but also display commercial advertising or promotional material, may be included within the NORC website when the Director of Operations or her designee has made a good faith determination that:

• The NORC's independent replication of the information targeted for linkage is infeasible due to financial or other considerations; and
• No non-commercial site provides the information targeted for linkage; and
• The information targeted for linkage greatly enhances the usefulness of the NORC website and services it provides

The NORC reserves the right to determine how and where external links will appear on its web site; i.e. what page the link appears on and where the link is placed on the page.
