| Privacy notice for the NALC website (www.nalc.org) |
|
|
NALC is committed to protecting your privacy. We maintain the privacy of your information using security technologies and adhere to policies that prevent unauthorized use of your personal information. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this website. The type and amount of information gathered depends on how you use the site. Because the NALC may modify this policy from time to time, we encourage you to check this page when revisiting this website.

| Website usage/information collection |
|
|
When you visit the NALC website, we automatically obtain the following information: name of your Internet service provider, browser and type of computer you are using, website, if any, that referred you to us, pages you request within NALC's website and the date and time of those requests. We use this information only on an aggregate basis to generate statistics and track which pages are most popular. We do not try to identify specific visitors or track the pages any individual visitor may look at during a visit to our site. We do not collect any other information without your knowledge and permission. We do not collect or store personally identifiable information, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address or phone number, unless you provide that information. By accessing this website, you are expressly consenting to the collection of this information.

| Collection of personally identifiable information |
|
|
However, we do collect personal information from individuals when they voluntarily register to join the NALC e-Activist Network. NALC provides web forms so you may provide contact information to facilitate your involvement in activities such as online political activism (i.e., contact Congress), to enable communication between you and the NALC, to send messages from you to decision makers which you have authorized, and to understand what issues members are interested in based on their response rate to the messages. Any information we collect, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, is collected and stored by NALC and by a third party vendor that we have contracted with to maintain and support a master e-Activist membership database. The information is only used to identify certain segments of the database so that relevant, customized messages can be sent to specific groups (e.g. all NALC e-Activist members in a particular state) who have voluntarily signed up to receive such messages or to track aggregate information about usage of NALC e-activist activities.

| Protecting your privacy |
|
|
As part of our commitment to ensuring the privacy of our visitors, NALC does not sell or exchange names or any other personally identifiable information about our online visitors and members with any business or organization for commercial purposes. We provide voluntarily submitted personal information to third parties on a completely confidential basis only to enable a third party to perform certain tasks, such as maintain an NALC e-Activist membership database or send E-mail alerts and/or newsletters, on our behalf. These third party providers are committed to protecting the privacy of our members, and will not utilize your information for any other purpose but to provide the services which we contract for and in which you have voluntarily agreed to participate. The NALC website will not post online any of your personal contact information, including e-mail address, street address and phone numbers.

| Links to other sites |
|

This wesite contains hypertext links to a number of other third party websites. While we make efforts to choose our links carefully, the NALC does not take any responsibility for the content of linked websites, or the privacy policies of other web sites.

| Security |
|
|
This site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information submitted to us and under our control. However, if you send an e-mail to the NALC, you should know that e-mail is not necessarily secure against interception. Because it is insecure, please do not send sensitive information like your social security number, health care information or descriptions of personal grievance situations by email. Instead, contact us by U. S. mail or by telephone – not by e-mail – using the contact information below.
Unauthorized attempts to defeat or circumvent security features, to use the system for other than intended purposes, to deny service toauthorized users, to access, obtain, alter, damage, or destroy information, or otherwise to interfere with the system or its operation are prohibited. Evidence of such acts may be disclosed to law enforcement authorities and result in criminal prosecution under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 (Pub. L. 99-474) and the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-294), (18U.S.C. 1030), or other applicable criminal laws. |
