 Information Collection, Use and Disclosure Activities

Registration Information: The Web Site may permit Users to provide certain information, including name, company, title, email address, phone number, and mailing address. This information will only be used internally by the Association to operate the Web Site and to communicate with Users. User specific information will be made available to other Users only to the extent specifically consented to by a User.

The Association reserves the right to disclose any information if such action is necessary (a) to conform to the requirements of law or to comply with legal process or subpoena served on the Association, (b) to protect and defend the legal rights or property of the Association, the Web Site or its Users, or (c) in an emergency, to protect the health and safety of its Users or the general public. The Association further reserves the right to release any information concerning any User if that User participates (or is reasonably suspected of participating) in any illegal activity, even without a subpoena, warrant, or other court order. Finally, the Association reserves the right to cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who may be using our servers or services for illegal activities, and to report any suspected illegal activity to law enforcement agencies for investigation or prosecution.

Security The Association does not release commercial information related to a specific transaction, User, or company to anyone without prior written consent by all parties involved. Although we take all reasonable precautions to protect our Users’ information, due to the open nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that any information stored on our servers, or transmitted to or from you will be free from unauthorized access.
