Our Commitment to Privacy 
We respect the privacy of your information. We provide this explanation about our online information practices as a show of our commitment to protect your privacy.

If you are a resident of California, please also refer to the “California Consumer Privacy Notice” for information about the categories of personal information we collect and your rights under California privacy laws.  

We do not sell or rent personally-identifying information collected during your use of our Website without your permission. The Information We Collect At the time you register on our site, or you send us a communication, we collect and store such information as you may provide, which (depending on the circumstances) can include your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address and other personally-identifying information. We need this information to communicate with Federal legislators and other policy-makers. 

The Way We Use Information
We use your personally identifying information to act on and improve our outreach and educational efforts. We may use your information to deliver information to you [DLA2.1] that, in some cases, reflects your interests, such as e-mail alerts and news updates. You can opt out of receiving this information by so indicating in your registration/preferences file. We may ask you to provide us voluntarily with additional information regarding your personal or business interests, experience or requests which we may use to customize our service for you. We use your e-mail address, your mailing address, and phone number to contact you regarding administrative notices and communications relevant to your use of the site. We will not send you promotions or announcements unless you give us permission to do so. You can opt out of receiving such contact by so indicating in your registration/preferences file. We may also use or disclose information to resolve disputes, investigate problems, or enforce our Terms of Use. At times, we may review status or activity of multiple users to do so. We may disclose or access information whenever we believe in good faith that the law so requires or if we otherwise consider it necessary to do so to maintain service and improve our products and services. We use your IP address as necessary to help diagnose problems with our server, and to provide our Website services.

Security
We employ reasonable and current security methods to prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure correct use of information. This may require the use of certain cookies including necessary cookies (see Cookies and Other Trackers below). Whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online, for example on message boards, through e-mail or in chat areas that information can be collected and used by others. No data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure. As a result, while we try to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. 

How You Can Update, Correct or Delete Your Information
You can access the information that we collect online and maintain through normal updating methods. To update, correct or delete this information, you can contact us through e-mail. Your account can be deleted or deactivated, but doing so will result in your not being able to access member services.

Cookies and Other Trackers
We use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the operation of the Website. These cookies support core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility, and generally cannot be disabled in our systems.

We do not use cookies or similar technologies for analytics, advertising, or cross site tracking purposes and intend to limit our use of such technologies to those necessary for the operation of the Website.

You may be able to configure your browser settings to limit cookies; however, because the cookies we use are necessary for the operation of the Website, doing so may affect the availability or functionality of certain features.

Children Under 13
We have no way of distinguishing the age of individuals who access our Website, and so we carry out the same Privacy Policy for individuals of all ages. Our services are not specifically directed to children. If a child has provided us with personally-identifying information without parental or guardian consent, the parent or guardian should contact us to remove the information and opt out of promotional opportunities.

Third-Party Practices
Third-party services or links on our Website may have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies where applicable.
