NETA Privacy Statement
NETA - National Educational Telecommunications Association is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Statement applies to NETA websites and explains how NETA collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information. NETA websites use only functional cookies as described below.
Collection of Your Personal Information
NETA may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, registration details, and other information submitted through forms or services on our websites.
NETA may automatically collect limited technical information needed to operate, secure, and maintain its websites. This information may include your IP address, browser type, domain name, access times, referring website address, and device information. NETA does not use website analytics tools to track or analyze visitor activity.
If you disclose personal information through a public area of a NETA website, that information may be collected and used by others. NETA does not read private online communications unless authorized or required for security, support, or legal purposes.
NETA websites may contain links to websites operated by other organizations. NETA encourages you to review their privacy statements. NETA is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites.
Use and Disclosure of Your Personal Information
NETA uses personal information to operate its websites, provide requested services, communicate with you, process registrations or transactions, provide customer support, conduct surveys, improve services, and fulfill other purposes described when information is collected.
NETA does not sell personal information for monetary consideration. NETA also does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. In connection with NETA conferences and events, NETA may provide limited registrant information, such as a registrant’s name, organization, job title, mailing address, or email address, to selected sponsors, exhibitors, service providers, or other conference-related parties. NETA provides this information only for purposes related to the event, such as event administration, attendee communications, professional networking, exhibitor engagement, or fulfillment of conference-related services.
NETA may share personal information with trusted service providers that perform services on its behalf, such as statistical analysis, communications, customer support, payment processing, or delivery services. These providers may use the information only as necessary to provide contracted services and are expected to protect its confidentiality.
NETA may disclose personal information when required by law or when NETA believes in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with legal process, protect NETA rights or property, respond to security concerns, or protect the safety of website users or the public.
Use of Cookies
