Privacy Statement

WEBSITE

You don't want your personal information to fall into the wrong hands. Neither does NSA Houston. When you visit the NSA Houston web site, we may collect and store information about your visit on an anonymous, aggregate basis. This information may include the time and length of your visit, the pages you look at on our site, and the site you visited just before coming to ours. We may also record the name of your Internet service provider. We use this information only to measure site activity and to develop ideas for improving our site.

 

There are also several opportunities on our web site for you to provide us with information about you and your interests, such as your name, mailing address and e-mail address. If you choose to share any personal information with us, we may store it and use it for marketing research and other marketing purposes, which may include sharing it* with other companies in the NSA Houston family, our business partners or vendors. We will never sell your information to any other company.

CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The information collected and stored in our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system is used exclusively for conducting chapter business and facilitating communications. Access to this information is restricted to the NSA National Board, NSA Houston Board of Directors and Committee members, who will use it to fulfill their roles in managing chapter activities, events, and member communications. We are committed to ensuring that your personal information is handled with the utmost care and used solely for purposes directly related to the operation and governance of the chapter.

Some of our web site may make use of "cookie" technology to measure site activity and to customize information to your personal tastes. A cookie is an element of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then store the cookie on your hard drive. So, when you come back to visit us again, we can tailor information to suit your individual preferences. The goal is to save you time and provide you with a more meaningful visit.

Your participation in the event signifies your consent to the use of these images for such purposes. If you have any concerns or wish to opt out, please notify NSA Houston prior to the event.
