PRIVACY POLICY

Cookies and other tracking technologies

We do not use cookies and similar tracking technologies, including pixel tags or web beacons (collectively “cookies”), to collect information on our Site.  If you wish to restrict or block cookies on websites, you can do this through your computer or device’s browser settings.  However, this may limit your ability to take advantage of some features on websites.

Opt-Out Signals

We do not currently respond to web browser opt-out preference signals (e.g. “Do Not Track”) that provide a method for Site users to opt out of the collection of online activity information over time and across third-party websites. 

Your choice

You may be able to make the following choices regarding your Personal Information:

Emails. You may choose to provide us with your email address for the purpose of allowing us to send free newsletters and bulletins, event information, surveys, and other news and information materials to you.  You can stop receiving emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in emails that you receive. If you decide not to receive emails, we may still send you service-related communications.

Please address requests and questions about your choices to the information detailed in the “Contact Information” section of this Privacy Policy.

You may review, correct, and delete certain information about yourself through your account, such as by logging in to the Site and navigating to your page. We expect you to promptly update account information if it changes or is inaccurate. Upon your request, we will close your account and remove profile information from view as soon as reasonably possible. We may retain information from closed accounts to comply with the law, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations of an individual, enforce Terms of Use, or for any other purpose otherwise permitted by law that we deem necessary in our sole discretion. Once we have deactivated or removed your account, you agree that we will not be responsible for retaining information related to your account. 

Security

We take commercially reasonable steps to protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.  Please understand, however, that no security system is impenetrable.  We cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to and from us over the internet.  In the event of a breach that we are required by law to inform you of, we may notify you electronically, in writing, or by telephone, if permitted to do so by law.

Data retention

We retain personal data for as long as an individual or entity uses our Site, and for such longer period as may be in its legitimate interests and to comply with legal obligations. We may also retain data from which you cannot be directly identified, for example, where stored against a randomly generated identifier so we know the data relates to a single individual, but we cannot tell who that individual is. We use this kind of data for research purposes and to help it develop and improve our services, and we take appropriate measures to ensure you cannot be re-identified from this data. We also consider the minimum necessary retention period prescribed by applicable laws, recommended by industry standards, and stated in contracts and other legal obligations. 

Children’s privacy

Our Site and services are not provided to minors (i.e., persons under the age of 18). We elect to provide the Site and our services only to persons 18 years of age or older, including any use of the Site. If we discover, or if anyone informs us, that an individual under 18 has provided us with personal information, we will close the account and delete that individual’s personal information as required by law, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. We may, where permitted by law, retain certain information internally for purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Third parties and Links to other websites

Our Site may contain links to websites, content, or services owned or operated by third parties.  Please note, we have no control over the privacy practices of websites or services that we do not own.  We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party website or application for details about what information is collected and how it is used and/or disclosed.  The Program assumes no liability for how third parties may collect and/or use your Personal Information.

Membership Works third party plug-in

We use a third-party company, Membership Works, for the member portal on our Site. You are required to follows the terms and conditions of Membership Works in connection with your use of our Site. These terms and conditions may be reviewed here Membersworks Terms & Conditions

California Consumer Privacy (as amended, the “CCPA”)

In addition to the information contained in this Privacy Policy, this Section applies solely to California residents (as defined in the CCPA). It applies to “personal information” (as defined in the CCPA) that we collect on or through the Site and through other means. It does not apply to business information that does not constitute personal information we collect from you. This Section also does not apply to current or former employees of us or independent contractors. 

The CCPA requires us to disclose information regarding the categories of personal information and sensitive personal information that it has collected about California Consumers, the categories of sources from which we collect personal information, the business or commercial purposes (as each of those terms is defined by the CCPA) for which we collect personal information, and the categories of parties to whom it discloses personal information. Some of the categories of personal information described herein are also “sensitive personal information” as defined by the CCPA. The sensitive information collected in the preceding twelve months are: (1) account log-in and password or other credentials allowing access to your accounts; (2) certain user-to-user communications made through the Site; (3) precise geolocation; (4) social security number; and (5) driver’s license number. The CCPA provides individuals with the right to limit certain uses and disclosures of their sensitive personal information. 

If you are a California resident (as defined by the CCPA), you may have the right to request that we: (1) provide you with the categories of personal information we have collected or disclosed about you, the categories of sources of such information, the business or commercial purpose for collecting, “sharing” or “selling” your personal information, the categories of third parties to whom we disclose or “sell” or with whom we “share” personal information; and the categories of personal information we “sell” or “share”; (2) provide access to and/or a copy of certain personal information we have about you; (3) delete certain personal information we have about you; and (4) correct inaccurate personal information we have about you. 

As a California resident, you may ask for a list of third parties that have received your information for direct marketing purposes during the previous calendar year. If we have disclosed your information, this list will contain the types of information disclosed, and we will provide the list at no cost. 

Other Certain U.S. States

Residents of other certain states, such as Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah, among others, may have certain rights regarding their “personal data,” as defined in these states’ laws that we process.  Please review your specific state’s privacy and data policies to determine whether this Section is applicable. Certain information may be exempt from your request under applicable law. Your state law may permit you to request that we: (1) confirm whether or not we are processing your personal information and provide you with access to such personal information; (2) correct inaccuracies in your personal information, taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes of the processing of the personal information; (3) delete your personal information; (4) provide you with a copy of personal information you previously provided to us in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format that allows you to transmit the data to another business; (5) opt out of processing of personal information for purposes of profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you; and (5) opt out of the processing of the “sale” of your personal information and the processing of your personal information for purposes of “targeted advertising,” as defined in applicable law. 

Changes to this privacy policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices, technology, legal requirements, and other factors. When changes are made to this Privacy Policy, they will become effective immediately upon posting. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for the latest information on our information processing practices. To the extent that our Privacy Policy changes in a material way, the Privacy Policy that was in place at the time that you submitted Personal Information to us will generally govern that information.
