The Saguaro Alumni Association and its partners are committed to respecting your privacy. We have structured our website so that, in general, you can visit The Saguaro Alumni Association on the Web without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information. Once you choose to provide us personally identifiable information (any information by which you can be identified), you can be assured that it will only be used to support your relationship with The Saguaro Alumni Association.

On the Saguaro Alumni Association Intranet site, personal information you provide is considered publicly available over the Intranet, unless you choose otherwise in your member profile.

This statement regarding the privacy of the personally identifiable information you provide online covers five main areas: Awareness, Choice, Accuracy and Access, Security, and Oversight.

Awareness...
The Saguaro Alumni Association provides this Online Privacy Statement to make you aware of our privacy policy and practices and of the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and often from the bottom of every web page.

What We Collect...
On some of portions of the Saguaro Alumni Association web sites, you can order products or services, make requests, and register to receive materials. The types of personal information collected at these pages are normally name, contact and billing information, transaction, and credit card information. In order to tailor our subsequent communications to you and continuously improve the products and services offerred to our Alumni, we may also ask you to voluntarily provide us with information regarding your personal or professional interests, demographics, experience with products orsuppliers, and contact preferences.

How We Use It...
The Saguaro Alumni Association uses your information to better understand Alumni needs and provide them with better service.

Specifically, we use your information to help you complete a transaction, to communicate back to you, to update you on service and benefits, and to improve the web sites for you. Credit card numbers are used only for payment processing by our partners or suppliers and are not retained by the Alumni Association. From time to time, we may use your information to contact you for quality assurance or satisfaction information we think would be of help to you and other Alumni. We will also follow local requirements, such as allowing you to opt in before receiving unsolicited contact, where applicable.

On the Intranet site, information you supply and designate as public is available to any member who looks up your entry. You can choose to keep most or all of your information private.

Who We Share Your Data With...
The Saguaro Alumni Association will not sell, rent, or lease your personally identifiable information to others. Unless we have your permission, are assisting a law enforcement agency or are otherwise required by law, we will only share the personal data you provide online with other Alumni Association entities and/or business partners who are acting on our behalf for the uses described above. Such entities and/or business partners, including those in the United States and/or any other countries, are governed by our privacy policies with respect to the use of this data and are bound by the appropriate confidentiality agreements.

Choice...
The Saguaro Alumni Association will not use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without first letting you know and offering you a choice. Currently we do not participate in any direct marketing programs but in the event we ever do, we will also provide you the opportunity to let us know if you do not wish to receive such unsolicited direct marketing materials from us and we will do everything we can to honor such requests. Local country laws and policies are applied where they differ from those in the U.S.

Your permission is always secured first, should we ever share your information with third parties that are not acting on our behalf and governed by our privacy policy. For example, as part of the Alumni Association's commitment to offering you choice, we may enable you to make online purchases directly from us or through our partners. When you choose our partners, we inform you that your registration and data is being transferred to the partner you selected. This notice is important because when you choose to make online purchases through our partners, use of your registration and data by the reseller is then governed by their privacy policy. Local country laws and policies are applied where they differ from those in the United States.

Accuracy and Access...
The Saguaro Alumni Association strives to keep your personally identifiable information accurate. We will provide you with access to your information whenever possible, including making every effort to provide you with online access to your registration data so that you may view, update or correct your information at the Alumni Association site where it was submitted. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access or enabling you to make corrections. To access your individually identifiable information, return to the web site page where you originally entered it and follow the instructions on that web page. Certain areas of the Saguaro Alumni Association's websites may limit access to specific individuals through the use of a password and through providing personally identifiable information.

Links to third party web sites on the site are provided solely as a convenience to you. If you use these links, you will leave the Saguaro Alumni Association site. The Saguaro Alumni Association has not reviewed all of these third party sites, does not control and is not responsible for any of these sites, their content or their privacy policy. Thus, The Saguaro Alumni Association does not endorse or make any representations about them, or any information, software or other products or materials found there, or any results that may be obtained from using them. If you decide to access any of the third party sites linked to such a site, you do this entirely at your own risk.

Security...
The Saguaro Alumni Association is committed to ensuring the security of your information. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. We use encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive data such as credit card information.
