PRIVACY POLICY
The Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association, (“SC&RA”) takes your privacy seriously. We want you to know how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal data.

This Privacy Policy tells you:

1. OVERVIEW

Scope of this policy. This Privacy Policy applies only to personal data that we collect on the website www.scranet.org as it may be modified, relocated and/or redirected from time to time (the “Site”).

Your consent. If you do not want us to handle your personal data as described in this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Site. If you reside outside the U.S., you will not be able to submit personal data through this website unless you consent to this Privacy Policy by agreeing to the consent statement that is presented at the point where you can submit your personal data to the Site.

Personal data means information that relates to you as an individually identifiable person, such as your name, e-mail address, and mobile.

2. WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT

a) Information You Give Us
We collect personal data that you voluntarily share with us through the Site. For example, we collect information from you when you create an account or fill out a request form on the Site.

The personal data we collect from you may include:

Contact information, including name, email address, mailing address, and telephone number
Business information such as employer name, occupation, industry, job function, job title, and SC&RA member type
Information about the events that you or your spouse choose to attend
payment information, including billing address, credit card number, and expiration date

b) Information We Collect Through Technology on The Site
We collect information through technology to enhance our ability to serve you. When you access and use the Site, SC&RA and, in some cases, our third-party service providers collect information about how you interact with the Site. We describe below methods we use to collect information through technology.

IP Address
When you visit the Site, we collect your device identifier, browser information, and Internet Protocol (IP) address. An IP address is often associated with the portal you used to enter the Internet, like your Internet service provider (ISP), company, association, or university. While an IP address may reveal your ISP or geographic area, we cannot determine your identity solely based upon your IP address. We do not link your personal data to device identifier information, browser information, and IP addresses. Where, according to local law, IP addresses and the like are considered personal data, then we treat them as such.

Do We Use Cookies?
Yes. Cookies are small pieces of data that the Site or our service provider transfers through your Web browser that enables the Site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We use cookies to help us understand how users use the Site. For example, cookies gather information about how long you spend on a web page so that we can understand what web pages are of most interest to users. Our cookies do not collect your personal data, except to the extent that IP addresses might be considered personal data.

If you prefer, you can choose to have your browser warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off cookies by adjusting your browser settings. If you turn off your cookies, some of the features on the Site may not function properly.

Google Analytics
We use cookies provided by Google Analytics, a third-party service provider, to assist us in better understanding our Site visitors. These cookies collect data tied to a user’s IP address, such as the length of time a user spends on a page, the pages a user visits, and the websites a user visits before and after visiting the Site. Based on this information, Google Analytics compiles aggregate data about Site traffic and Site interactions, which we use to offer better Site experiences and tools in the future. Google Analytics does not collect any personal data (other than IP Address which may be considered personal data in some countries. You can obtain more information about Google Analytics here: http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/

Web Beacons
We may include small graphic images or other web programming code, called web beacons (also known as "pixel tags", “web bugs” or "clear GIFs"), on the Site. The web beacons are minute graphics with a unique identifier. They are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored in a user's computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence.

Your ‘Do Not Track’ Browser Setting
We support the Do Not Track (DNT) browser setting. DNT is a preference you can set in your browser’s settings to let the websites you visit know that you do not want the websites collecting your personal data.

We may track your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. For example, we might use web beacons to help us determine what links or advertisers brought you to our Site. We then track your activities on our Site. We also may use web beacons to track your visits to other websites so that third-party service providers can display SC&RA advertisements to you on those other websites based on your activities while on the Site (“remarketing”).

c) Information Third Parties Provide About You
We supplement the information we collect about you through the Site with records received from third parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you to tailor our content to you, and to offer you information that we believe may be of interest to you. For example, the service provider that processes orders submitted through the Site shares your order information, but not payment information, with us.
