PRIVATE POLICY
When you entrust your personal information to a web site, you expect the operators of that site to demonstrate that they have earned your trust. Maintaining your privacy and the security of your personal information is our highest priority.
The Type 1 Diabetes Association is committed to following all relevant federal and state laws and industry guidelines regarding your personal information and how it is protected. In fact, our goal is to exceed these guidelines and to be ahead of the pack in this area.
What We Collect and How We Use It
This site stores personal information about you, including your name, contact information (addresses, phone numbers, email), demographic data (date of birth, etc.), payment information such as (optionally) credit card numbers, user name and password. The Type 1 Diabetes Association uses this information for membership activities, including event registration, tracking member interests, discussion forums, committees, donations, member directory, etc.
Within this web site, only authorized administrators have access to personal information on members.
This site also collects information as you navigate around the site, using standard Internet technologies (such as IP addresses and cookies, and reading your browser version, operating system and computer type, etc.) We use this information to help us improve our products and services and for security purposes, to detect and to block security breaches and to provide you with a safe online environment.
The Type 1 Diabetes Association may provide discussion forums. Please remember that any information disclosed in these forums becomes public. You should exercise caution regarding personal information when you write messages in a public discussion forum.
The Type 1 Diabetes Association may also provide an online Member Directory. This information will also be visible to other T1DA members only
What the Type 1 Diabetes Association Will Not Do
Type 1 Diabetes Association officers will not have direct access to your password or credit card information. This data is encrypted by the system using state of the art technologies and cannot directly be accessed. If you forget your password, we can reset it at your request. You will then be required to change it when you next log in.
The Type 1 Diabetes Association will not independently contact you regarding new features or products or other service offerings unless you are listed as an official club contact, responsible for your club's relationship with us. We do not send unsolicited email (aka spam) to email addresses in our membership database.
The Type 1 Diabetes Association will not sell or otherwise share your name or any contact information with any third parties, including partners, advertisers or service providers, except as necessary to fulfill your explicit requests. For example, when you renew your membership using a credit card, we must share data with the credit card processing company to approve the transaction. When you order merchandise through the site, we must share some data with the vendor who fulfills this order. But we will never sell or share this data for marketing or revenue purposes.
The Type 1 Diabetes Association may generate and provide aggregate statistics about our members, online traffic patterns and related information to customers and partners, but this information will not contain data which is individually identifiable or which can be linked back to a specific person, family, or business organization member.
We will disclose information if required to do so by law or by order of a competent government authority (such as a court order) or to protect Type 1 Diabetes Association or a member club in the event of a threat against the company or an employee or club officer.
Other Provisions
This site is not intended for unsupervised access by children under the age of 13. We will not knowingly collect information from site visitors of this age group. We encourage parents to talk to their children about their use of the Internet and the information they disclose online.
From time-to-time, based on customer feedback as well as changing community and legislative standards, The Type 1 Diabetes Association may modify this privacy policy without notice. Updated policies will be dated at the top of the page, so you should check back periodically to see if anything has changed.
