Scope of this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy covers DAFMUG's treatment of personally identifiable information
collected from individuals (hereafter "users" or "you") who use
and access dafmug.org. This Policy does not apply to the practices of companies
that
DAFMUG
does not own or control, or to people that DAFMUG does not employ or manage.
Please remember that if you access a third-party site from a link on DAFMUG, any information you reveal on that site is not subject to this Privacy Policy. You should be aware when your visit takes you to another site and consult the privacy policies of each site you visit.
Information Collection
DAFMUG protects the privacy of its users and will not sell user personally identifiable information. Users who provide personally identifiable information (any information by which user may be identified, such as name, physical address, email address, and telephone number) while participating on dafmug.org may, from time to time, receive communications from DAFMUG and other aligned parties that DAFMUG partners with for special events and activities.
Use of Personally Identifiable Information
We may request personally identifiable information from you in connection with your use of, or participation in, dafmug.org. In these cases, we will collect personally identifiable information from you only if you voluntarily submit such information to us.
Examples of this personally identifiable information are:
- Name
- Postal Address
- Email Address
- Business or company name and address
- Phone Number
- Occupation
DAFMUG is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. DAFMUG will not sell this information to others, or share it in ways other than those outlined in this statement. Personal information provided by users will be used by DAFMUG to perform the user's request, improve the site, and provide a more personalized experience for the user. Information that identifies a specific individual will be disclosed to provide services that the user has requested, or as required by legal requests as noted in the section "Information Sharing and Disclosure."
Personally identifiable information is used for specific purposes, such as:
- To respond to requests for information
- To maintain Membership status
- To process registrations for events or other activities
- To provide user information on events, products and services, or other news that we think might be of interest to the user
If you do provide us with personal information for any of these activities:
- We will use it to conduct the activity.
- We will use cookie technology (discussed in detail below) to enhance your experience of these activities, including to remember your preferences, customize the content that you see or authenticate your access to your personal information.
- In the event your personally identifiable information is requested as part of other programs and site interactivity, such personally identifiable information will be added to your registration information.
- We may contact you to confirm your registration and about your account status, and regarding changes to the DAFMUG's Terms of Use Agreement and this Privacy Policy.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We also collect non-personally identifiable information through the use of "cookies"
and
IP address tracking ("Log Files").
Cookies
A "cookie" is an element of data that a Website can send to your browser,
which may then be stored on your system. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked
to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes
the browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie
from our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby
saving time while on our site. If users reject the cookie, they may still use
our site. Cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users
as they visit different sections of the site.
Most browsers are set to accept cookies. Some Web browsers permit you to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, please note that some parts of the services offered by DAFMUG, such as message boards, may not function properly.
Log Files
An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer when you are on the Internet. When you request pages from our Website, our servers log your IP address. DAFMUG employs IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movements, and gather broad information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
The DAFMUG servers automatically log certain information that DAFMUG uses for statistical analysis of website traffic. The information is stored as log files on the dafmug.org server. The log files are regularly collected and analyzed by software to produce visitor trend reports. We use such information to administer our Website and, in the aggregate, to understand which areas of our Website are favorites of our users, which areas need improvement, and what technologies are being used so that we may continually improve our Website.
The information that is collected includes:
- User's IP address
- User's city
- User's state
- Length of time user stayed on dafmug.org
- Where user came into the site
- Where user left the site
- Referring site that sent user to dafmug.org
- Site the user went to when leaving dafmug.org
- Type of browser user is using
- Search terms you used on dafmug.org
This information is used to determine:
- Traffic patterns
- Average visitor session length
- Number of visitors to certain areas of the site
- Banner ad click-through
- Tracking results of promotional campaigns
- Other user trends
Server logs do not contain personally identifiable information on individual users, such as names, addresses, email address, occupation, etc. This type of data will only be collected in forms, product sales, or event registrations on dafmug.org.
Non-personally identifiable information might include the type of computer, technical information about your means of connection to our Website, such as the operating systems and the Internet service providers utilized, and other similar information.
We may share this aggregate statistical information with our partners and other third parties, but we will not share any individual names, email addresses, personal navigational, or other personal information.
Security User Information
DAFMUG makes every precaution to protect user information. Only personnel who
require the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally
identifiable information. The servers used to store personally identifiable information
are kept in a secure environment. If you have any questions about the security
at the dafmug.org website, you may contact us at this link Privacy Info.
DAFMUG uses online forms on dafmug.org to collect specific information for membership and other data collection uses. In cases where private financial information is collected, such as credit card numbers, etc., all forms are secured through Secure Socket Layers (SSL) encryption, the most widely accepted and tested form of data encryption. Of course no transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, therefore the user provides DAFMUG with information at his or her own risk.
In addition to Secure Socket Layer encryption during transmission, DAFMUG takes these additional precautions with user information:
All web servers are protected by state-of-the-art, managed firewalls. Credit card numbers are encrypted down to the database field level.
DAFMUG cannot ensure that third-party websites linked from dafmug.org will provide equivalent security. Users should check with the privacy policies of those websites before submitting any personally identifiable information.
Security Online Transactions
DAFMUG makes reasonable effort to ensure that all of the transactions that occur
on its Website are secure. All credit card numbers submitted to our Website are
encrypted with 128-bit Secure Socket Layer ("SSL") technology, which is
the industry standard for information security. Any personal information that
you submit as part of a financial transaction is also encrypted with SSL technology.
DAFMUG reveals only the last four digits of the user's credit card number when
confirming an order. Of course, dafmug.org transmits the entire credit card number
to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. It is important
for the user to protect against unauthorized access to his or her password and
to his or her computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer,
and do not send credit card numbers or other financial or proprietary information
via email.
Your piece of mind and security is very important to us. If you do not feel comfortable submitting your personal information online, you can submit such information by calling us.
Security Credit Card Processing
DAFMUG uses an outside credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store, or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes. DAFMUG partners with other parties to provide specific services such as a secured site for financial transactions. When the user signs up for these services, DAFMUG will share names, or contact and other information, that is necessary for the third party to provide these servicesówith the permission of the user, which is implied by user's online submission of such information. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy or as specifically agreed to by you, DAFMUG will not disclose any personal information it gathers from you on dafmug.org. We may release personal information to third parties: (1) to comply with valid legal requirements such as a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order; (2) in special cases, such as a physical threat to you or others; or (3) to enforce this Agreement. In the event that we are legally compelled to disclose your personally identifiable information to a third party, we will notify you unless doing so would violate the law or court order.
DAFMUG may provide to third parties non-personal information that does not allow you to be identified or contacted and that is combined with the non-personal information of other users.
Privacy of Children
DAFMUG's Website is a general audience Website and does not knowingly market to or collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 18 years old. We understand that young people need special safeguards and privacy protection. We realize that they may not understand all the provisions of our policy or be able to make thoughtful decisions about the choices that are made available to our adult users. We strongly urge all parents to participate in their children's exploration of the Internet and any online services, and to teach their children about protecting their personal information while online.
We may, at our discretion, require users under 18 to obtain the consent of a parent or guardian to view certain content, and we may limit access to certain content to users above a specified age. You agree to abide by any such restrictions, and not to help anyone avoid these restrictions.
