The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to outline how we deal with any personal data you provide to us while visiting our Site.

Any external links to other websites are clearly identifiable as such, and we are not responsible for the content, security or the privacy policies of these other sites.

Types of Information Collected

1. "Personal Data": This is data that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you and may include your name, postal address, email address, telephone number and birth date. Such information is only collected from you if you voluntarily submit it to us, for example, by completing a membership form or registering for a conference or other event.

2. "Non-Personal Data": Like most websites, we may from time to time gather statistical and other analytical information collected on an aggregate basis of all visitors to our site. This Non-Personal Data comprises information that cannot be used to identify or contact you, such as demographic information regarding, for example, user IP addresses, browser types and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our Site.

Purposes for which we hold your Information.

Non-Personal Data:

1. We may use the Non-Personal Data gathered from visitors to our website in an aggregate form to get a better understanding of where our visitors come from and to help us better design and organize our website.

3. To set up or update your membership or to register you for an event

4. To contact you if required in connection with your membership, event registration or in response to communications you might send to us

Any communications submitted online or by e-mail will be subject to the same terms and conditions as those completed by hand in paper form. If any online application forms are included in the Site, you will be notified of any additional specific data protection provisions at the time you complete the relevant application form.

Disclosure of Information to Third Parties

We may provide Non-Personal Data to third parties, where such information is combined with similar information of other users of our Site. For example, we might inform our web designers, developers and hosting contractors regarding the number of unique users who visit our web site or the activities that visitors engage in while on our web site.

We will not disclose your Personal Data to third parties outside of OPSOA unless you have consented to this disclosure or unless the disclosure is required in order to process an application or other communication from you or to perform the services you have applied for. We will however disclose your Personal Data if we believe in good faith that we are required to disclose it in order to comply with any applicable law, a summons, a search warrant, a court or regulatory order, or other valid legal process.

Security

Your Personal Data is held on secure servers hosted by our Internet Service Provider. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we will take all reasonable steps to protect your Personal Data, the nature of the Internet is such that we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us via the Internet.

We do not currently seek your bank account or credit card details via email and you should not send us such data by email unless expressly agreed in person with an authorized individual at OPSOA.

Event registration and membership fees may be paid online via the web site and services of PayPal Inc. OPSOA is not responsible for the content, security or the privacy policies of PayPal Inc. Please see www.paypal.com for details on their security and other policies.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

Any changes to this Privacy Policy will be posted on the Site so you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any time we decide to use Personal Data in a manner significantly different from that stated in this Privacy Policy, or otherwise disclosed to you at the time it was collected, we will notify you by email, and you will have a choice as to whether or not we use your information in the new manner.
