Privacy Policies

Welcome to EAA Chapter 186! Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to safeguarding the personal information you share with us. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website or interact with us.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information: We may collect personal details such as your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address when you sign up for our newsletter, make a donation, or contact us.
Non-Personal Information: Our website automatically collects data such as IP addresses, browser types, and pages visited to improve your browsing experience.

2. How We Use Your Information

To respond to inquiries and provide support.
To send updates about our projects and events.
To improve our website and ensure it functions smoothly.

3. How We Protect Your Information

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of data transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information with trusted service providers who assist us in our operations, under strict confidentiality agreements.

5. How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Suggested text: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

7. Your Rights You have the right to:

Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
Request correction or deletion of inaccurate information.
Opt out of receiving communications from us.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

8. Cookies

Our website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help us analyze web traffic and track user preferences. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, but this may limit your access to certain features.

9. External Links

Our website may contain links and embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.) from external sites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites.

10. Updates to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. Please revisit this page periodically to stay informed.
