Before we ask you for information, we will explain how this information will be used. Our site requires registration to access the community area when you want to submit a comment to the blog or expert Q & A and when requesting more information from a member of the Alliance via the Alliance area, although typically all that is requested is your name, title, an e-mail address, and phone number and some basic information about you such when is the best time to reach you. There are occasions where we will ask for additional information. We do this to be able to better understand your needs, and provide you with services that we believe may be valuable to you. Some examples of additional information our website collects are name, address and phone number. We give you the opportunity to elect not to receive information from us regarding upcoming events and other news.

Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. Some of the items we may capture in the log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and the number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

We protect the personal information you share with us. Access to your personal information is limited to people who need it to do their job. We will not disclose your personal information to any third party without receiving your permission.

We also use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure once we receive it. For example, we store the personal information you provide on limited access computer systems that are located in secured facilities. The Alliance’s employees are trained and kept up-to-date on our security procedures.
