Privacy Policy

CLMA respects the privacy of its members and other visitors to its Web site. CLMA strongly believes that if electronic commerce and online activities are to flourish, consumers must be assured that information provided online is used responsibly and appropriately. To protect online privacy, CLMA has implemented the following policy.

Collection of Information

Most data CLMA collects are used only to help CLMA better serve its members. It is our general policy to collect and store only personal information that our members and visitors knowingly provide. If our privacy policies change, we will notify all users by email or a special announcement placed on the Web site.

CLMA does not collect any personal information from users browsing its Web site. Users to the public areas of CLMA’s Web site browse anonymously. Only aggregate data – such as the number of hits per page – are collected. Aggregate data are only used for internal and marketing purposes and do not provide any personally identifying information.

To gain access to Members Only resources and personalization features on the CLMA Web site, members and other users are asked to register and provide some limited information. These data are submitted voluntarily. Similar information may be submitted to CLMA through membership applications, conference and seminar registration, publication orders, subscriptions, and contest registrations. Additionally, for some emails sent in HTML format by CLMA to its members, CLMA will collect specific information regarding what the recipient does with that email. For those emails, CLMA will monitor whether a recipient subsequently clicks through to links provided in the message. Other information collected through this tracking feature includes: email address of a user, the date and time of the user's "click," a message number, name of the list from which the message was sent, tracking URL number, and destination page. CLMA only uses this information to enhance its products and distribution of those products to its members. This information is not sold or distributed in any other manner.

The Members Search feature in the Members Only section of this site is intended to be a networking tool for members. Members can search for other members by last name, country, state, job type, and chapter. Search results display limited information about members, including name, title, organization, address, phone, fax, and email. Once a member joins CLMA, this limited information is automatically displayed in the Member Search feature and is accessible by other members. If members do not want this information available to other members, they can opt-out of this service at any time by going to Members Only > My Account > Password/Preferences.

Credit Card Account Information

CLMA does not disclose credit card account information provided by its members and customers. When members and customers choose to pay using their credit cards, CLMA submits the information needed to obtain payment to the appropriate clearinghouse.

This Web site contains links to other Web sites. CLMA has no control over and is not responsible for the privacy policies or content of such sites.

Means Of Redress
