IEA Website Privacy Policy:

IEA respects the privacy of its members and visitors to the IEA Web site. IEAdoes not  collect any information through the Web site without the knowledge of the member or visitor. IEA's Web server automatically recognizes only the visitor's domain name, not the specific user name of the visitor. IEA does not collect any information via cookies or other tracking means of a personal nature from visitors. All personal information collected through the Web site is provided on a voluntary basis by IEA Web site visitors through a visible means of data entry or collection.

One of the main objectives of IEA's Web site, however, is to encourage networking and participation in interactive events by IEA members and site visitors. To support this networking and interaction, IEA may require that visitors provide information to access certain areas of its Web site. This information may include name, email and postal addresses, and other demographic information. Areas of our Web site requiring this information generally include any interactive area, such as forum and chat discussions, surveys, on-site registrations and applications, and email notification services. Visitors provide this information on a voluntary basis to gain access to these areas. IEA may also collect aggregate information on which pages visitors access as they use our site as well as the email addresses with visitors who correspond with us directly from the Web site.

Information about members collected through the Membership Application will be stored in the general IEA membership database. IEA may use email or postal addresses for notifying members and customers about upcoming online events, new additions to the IEA Web site, or other non-commercial reasons that pertain to enhanced communication between our Members. Member contact information is also made available through the IEA Membership Directory, a searchable database of members on IEA Web site made available only to other members of IEA. If you are a member of IEA and do not wish to be included in the database, please send an email to members@aweduserve.org indicating that you do not want to be in the Membership Directory.

IEA does not provide any of the email addresses, postal addresses, phone numbers, or other personally identifiable information that it collects on its Web site to any other individual or organization for any purpose, including commercial. IEA uses the information we collect to improve the content of our Web site; to enhance existing services, and member benefits; and to plan for new services, and member benefits.

In our forums and threaded discussions, we do collect all logins and dialogue. Dialogue in forum posts may be archived for later retrieval by any IEA member. IEA does not edit any dialogue provided through the forum's threaded discussion participation.

IEA, however, cannot control the acts of its members  who use the forum features. If personal information, such as name, email addresses, mailing addresses, and phone numbers, are provided voluntarily by forum users, they may be used by other parties outside of IEA for unsolicited e-mail or other contact. (It is recommended that such personal information is not posted to forum threaded discussions.)

If you feel that IEA has violated this Privacy Statement in any way, please contact us at privacy@aweduserve.org so that we may address the issue.
