NORTHEAST GEORGIA COUNCIL BSA PRIVACY POLICY
We respect
your privacy and are committed to protect the information that you
share with us. Generally, you can browse through our website without
giving us any information about yourself. When we do need your personal
information to provide services that you request or when you choose
to provide us with your personal information, this policy describes
how we collect and use your personal information.
Information Collection
Personal information means any information that may be used to identify an individual,
including, but not limited to, a first and last name, email address,
a home, postal or other physical address, other contact information,
title, birth date, gender, occupation, industry, personal interests,
other information when needed to provide a service you requested.
We only collect personal information when you update your database (volunteers
only) when you request information via email, when you ask to be
included in an email or other mailing list, or you submit information
for any
other reason. We only use such information if it has been collected
in
accordance with acceptable privacy practices consistent with this
Policy and applicable laws.
How We Use Information Collected
We use information for several general purposes: to keep you up to date on the
latest announcements or other information we think you'd like to
hear about either from us, and to better understand your needs and provide
you with better services.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Your personal information is never shared without your permission. Data is stored
in controlled servers with limited access.
Data Security
We safeguard the security of the data you send us with physical, electronic,
and managerial procedures.
While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the
security of the information you transmit to us, and so we urge you to
take every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on the
Internet.
If you wish to communicate with an employee or volunteer via email,
your email could be read by a third party. Therefore, do not send sensitive
information via email.
Third Party Sites
Our website may contains links to other sites. We do not share your personal
information with those websites and are not responsible for their privacy
practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of
those
companies and organizations.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We will amend this policy from time to time. If we make any substantial changes
in the way we use your personal information we will make that information
available by posting a notice on this site.
Questions or Suggestions
If you have questions or concerns about our collection, use, or disclosure of
your personal information, please call the Northeast Georgia Council
of the Boy Scouts of America at 1-800-699-8806.
