Information Collected via Our Registration & Interest Forms
When you interact with our association through our website forms (including, but not limited to, newsletter sign up forms and volunteer interest forms), we collect personal information that you voluntarily provide. This includes:
- Identity Data: First name, last name, and professional titles.

How Your Information is Used and Shared
We use this data to categorize our membership, personalize our communications, and manage association activities. To facilitate this:
- Third-Party Service Providers: We utilize Mailchimp (a marketing automation platform) to store our contact database and send newsletters. By submitting a form, you acknowledge that the information you provide will be transferred to Mailchimp for processing in accordance with their Privacy Policy and Terms.
- Automated Segmentation: We use the information provided to automatically assign you to specific “Groups” or “Tags” within our email system to ensure you only receive communications relevant to your professional role or expressed interests.
- No Third-Party Sale: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to outside marketers.
Form submissions may also be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How long we retain your data
