This Policy governs https://aagla.org/ and https://members.aagla.org/, their subdomains, and any other online services or portals that link to this Policy (“Site”); and also applies when you provide Personal Information or interact with us online or in-person.

1. Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and other tools (“Tracking Technologies”) to recognize your browser or device, to understand how people use our Site, to make it work correctly, and to improve your experience. These Tracking Technologies store and collect Usage Information. Some Tracking Technologies may involve the collection of identifiers and internet or other electronic network activity information. Where required by law, we obtain your consent before placing non-essential Tracking Technologies.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small files that your browser stores on your Device. They help the website remember things like your preferences or whether you’ve logged in. Some cookies are placed by us (“first-party cookies”) and some are placed by our partners (“third-party cookies”) such as companies that provide analytics, video, or advertising.  Third-party cookies and similar technologies used on our Sites may include tools and services provided by Google (including Analytics, Tag Manager, AdSense, DoubleClick, YouTube, and Google Maps), Meta, Microsoft/LinkedIn, Hotjar, PostHog Analytics, Vimeo, and other providers.

Do Cookies Contain Personal Information?

Cookies and similar technologies do not always directly identify you, but many laws treat them as “Personal Information” or “Personal Data” when the information collected, alone or combined with other data, can be linked to you or your Device. For example, if you log in to an account, we may associate cookie data with your account.

Other Technologies We Use

In addition to cookies, we may use other Tracking Technologies, including:

• HTML5 local or session storage: browser-based storage used to remember certain settings or behaviors;
• Pixel tags, clear GIFs and web beacons: small images or snippets of code that load when you visit a page or open an email, telling us or partners that you have engaged with content;
• Tags, scripts and containers (e.g., tag managers): snippets of code provided by analytics or marketing vendors to measure behavior or deliver functionality, or tools used to deploy and manage other tags (like Google Tag Manager);
• Software Development Kits (SDKs): tools or code that may be used in websites or other digital services to enable certain features, such as analytics, advertising, login functionality, or similar features.
• Embedded Scripts: snippets of code that are designed to collect information about your interactions with the Site, such as the links you click on;
• UTM parameters: short tags added to the end of a URL that help track where website traffic comes from—such as which email, ad, or social media post a visitor clicked before landing on a page.
• Device Identifiers and probabilistic identifiers: Identifiers unique to your Device (e.g., mobile advertising IDs), or technology that creates an identifier by analyzing characteristics of your Device or browser.
• Other data technologies may be used that collect comparable information for security and fraud detection purposes.

We may also engage third parties, such as Google, Meta, Microsoft/LinkedIn, Hotjar, PostHog, and similar providers, to support analytics, advertising, measurement, and related services. These parties may place cookies and similar technologies on our Sites, collect identifiers and internet or other electronic network activity information, and combine that information with other information they collect over time and across services. We use the information collected to administer and improve the quality of our Sites and Services, measure engagement, understand user activity, and support advertising and analytics functions. Some of these disclosures may be considered “sharing” under California law.

We classify our cookies into the following categories:

• Essential/Strictly Necessary Cookies. These cookies are needed for the Site to work (for example, keeping you logged in or letting the Site load properly).  You cannot disable this type of cookie on our Site.
• Functionality Cookies. Also known as “preference cookies,” these cookies allow the Sites to remember choices you have made in the past, like what language you prefer, or what your username and password are so you can automatically log in. Disabling these cookies can cause some parts of the Site to not work properly, so we discourage you from disabling these cookies.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies. These cookies collect information about how you use a website, like which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. Their purpose is to improve website functions. In some jurisdictions, you may be able to turn these cookies off.
• Targeting and Advertising Cookies. These are used by us or our partners to deliver more relevant advertising, measure our marketing, or prevent you from seeing the same ad too many times. These cookies can share that information with other organizations or advertisers. In some jurisdictions, you may be able to turn these cookies off.

Depending on your browser settings or your location, you may be able to:

• Adjust your cookie preference through our cookie banner;
• Block or delete cookies in your browser;
• Opt-out of certain analytics or advertising tools; or
• Change your Device settings to limit tracking.

If you block some cookies, certain features on our Site may not work as intended.

Advertising Tools We Use

We use Google (including AdSense, Analytics, Tag Manager, DoubleClick, YouTube, and Google Maps), Meta, Microsoft/LinkedIn, Hotjar, Posthog Analytics, Vimeo, and similar providers to help us understand how people use our website, support embedded content and functionality, and measure or personalize advertising and analytics-related activities. These tools may use cookies or other identifiers to measure engagement, understand what content is useful to visitors, or help display content or advertisements based on your activity on our Site or other sites.

When We Disclose Information

To the extent permitted by law, certain Personal Information about you may be disclosed in the following situations:

We may disclose Personal Information to our affiliates and to third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as form delivery, cloud hosting, data storage, payment processing, customer service, analytics, marketing support, communications delivery, IT services, membership management, event support, and other operational functions. We require these service providers to enter into written agreements that limit their use of the information to the services they provide to us, prohibit them from using the information for their own purposes, and require them to safeguard the information and keep it confidential. These service providers may access Personal Information only as needed to perform their services.
• Marketing and advertising. We may use and disclose or make available your information with our affiliates, service providers, and marketing and analytics partners to send you marketing communications, personalize the content you see, measure advertising performance, and offer events or services that may be of interest to you. Some of these disclosures may occur through cookies and similar technologies placed on our Sites by analytics, social media, and advertising providers. Under certain laws, including California law, some of these disclosures may be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can opt out of our marketing emails at any time by following the instructions in those messages or contacting us directly. Depending on your location, you may also have the right to opt out of certain types of data sharing used for targeted advertising.
• Advertising and analytics partners. We may disclose or make available certain identifiers, internet or other electronic network activity information, general location information, and similar information to analytics providers, advertising networks, social media platforms, and similar partners through cookies, pixels, tags, embedded content, and other Tracking Technologies.

To comply with law, legal process, or government requests, including responding to a validly issued and enforceable subpoena, court order, summons, search warrant, regulatory inquiry or other legally enforceable demand. We may also disclose information as necessary in connection with actual or threatened legal proceedings or alternative dispute resolution proceedings either initiated by or against us. When we do so, we limit the disclosure to what is reasonably necessary and take steps to seek confidential treatment or other protections to prevent the information from becoming public, unless we are legally prohibited from doing so.
• Compliance. In the course of a review of our practices under the authorization of a state or federal agency/regulatory authority or similar oversight body, or as necessary to properly respond to an inquiry or complaint from such an agency, authority, board, or organization.
• Business Transfers and Corporate Transactions. We may use or share your Personal Information in conjunction with a prospective purchase, sale, or merger of all or part of our Association or its operations. This may include sharing information with potential or actual purchasers, investors, or other transaction partners and their advisors as part of due diligence or the transaction itself. Where appropriate, we will take steps to require those parties to protect the information and use it only for the purposes of evaluating or completing the transaction. If the transaction is completed, Personal Information may be transferred to the buyer or successor or affiliate as part of the transferred assets or ongoing operations.
• Aggregated/De-identified Data. Finally, we may aggregate, de-identify, and/or anonymize information collected through the Site or Services so that it is no longer linked to your Personal Information.

Children’s Privacy

Our Sites are not intended for use by children under the age of 16. We do not request, or knowingly collect, any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 16. If you are the parent or guardian of a child under 16 who you believe has provided their  information to us, please contact us using the information in the Contact Us section below to request the deletion of that information.

Automated Decision Making

We do not use automated decision-making technologies to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about individuals. We may use automated tools for purposes such as analytics, personalization, security, fraud prevention, and improving our Services.

Retention of Personal Information

We will retain your Personal Information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Personal Information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

We utilize the following criteria to determine the length of time for which we retain Personal Information:

• How long we have had a relationship with you or provided our Services to you;
• The business purposes for which the information is used, and the length of time for which the information is required to achieve those purposes;
• Whether we are required to retain the information, or the information is otherwise necessary, in order to: comply with legal obligations or contractual commitments; defend against potential legal claims; detect or prevent potential illegal activity or actions in violation of our policies and procedures; secure our systems and online environment; or protect health and safety;
• The privacy impact on individuals of ongoing retention; and
• The manner in which information is maintained and flows through our systems, and how best to manage the lifecycle of information in light of the volume and complexity of the systems in our infrastructure.

Links

For your convenience, the Site and this Policy may contain links to other websites. AAGLA is not responsible for the privacy practices, advertising, products, services, or the content of such other websites. Links to third-party websites do not imply endorsement of, or affiliation with, those third parties.

Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to help protect and secure your Personal Information. However, no data transmission over the Internet, mobile networks, wireless transmission, or electronic storage of information can be guaranteed 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from the Site, and you provide us with your information at your own risk.

Your Choices About the Information We Collect

Updating Your Personal Information

We prefer to keep your Personal Information accurate and up to date. If you would like to change your contact information, please contact us using the information in the Contact Us section below. We will make good faith efforts to make requested changes in our then active databases as soon as reasonably practicable (but we may retain prior information as business records).

Communications Preferences

You can opt out of receiving marketing emails from us at any time. You will still receive transactional messages from us. To manage your email preferences with us, please click on the Unsubscribe link in any email you receive from us or contact us using the information in the Contact Us section below. Your choice will not affect our ability to share information in the other ways described in this Policy.

Do Not Track Disclosure

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a web browser setting that requests that a web application disable its tracking of an individual user. When you choose to turn on the DNT setting in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, analytics companies, ad networks, plug in providers, and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity. Various third parties are developing or have developed signals or other mechanisms for the expression of consumer choice regarding the collection of information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services (e.g., browser do not track signals), but there is no universally-agreed upon standard for what a company should do when it detects a DNT signal. At this time, we do not respond to Do Not Track Signals.

Opt-Out Preference Signals

Some browsers and browser extensions support opt-out preference signals such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating your choice to opt-out from certain types of data processing, including data sales. GPC is a web browser-level setting, maintained by either a browser or a browser extension, that a user or privacy-focused technology can set. Where required by applicable law, we will honor opt-out preference signals such as GPC as a valid request to opt out of sale or sharing of Personal Information or targeted advertising.

Controlling Your Cookies

In some jurisdictions, you can opt-out of cookies by enabling Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) or similar browser-based opt-out signals. You may also make individual selections on your Device or browser. On most web browsers, you will find a “help” section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive a notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. Please see the links below to learn how to modify your web browser’s settings on the most popular browsers:

• Apple Safari
• Google Chrome
• Microsoft Edge
• Mozilla Firefox

Note that if you turn cookies off, you may be unable to access certain parts or benefit from the full functionality of the Sites. To learn more about cookies and similar technologies or to opt-out of targeted advertising cookies, visit resources from the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”). We do not control these opt-out links or whether any organization chooses to participate in these opt-out programs.

Please note that even if you exercise the opt-out choices above, you may continue to receive advertisements, for example, ads based on the website you are viewing (e.g., contextually based ads), or ads that are not targeted at you and may be less relevant. Also, if your browser (like some Safari browsers) is configured to reject opt-out cookies when you opt out on the DAA website, your opt-out may not be effective.  We always do our best to honor your choices, but because some choices are set at the browser or device level, you may have to make these choices multiple times if you use different browsers or different Devices.

Your Choices for Google Tools (including AdSense, Analytics, Tag Manager, DoubleClick, YouTube, and Google Maps)

Our Google Analytics Advertising tools may include remarketing, impression reporting, demographics and interest reporting, and cross-service integrations. Google offers several ways to control how your information is used for advertising.

• Direct-Level Advertising Settings – Many mobile devices allow you to limit the use of Advertising IDs (Android Ad ID or Apple IDFA).  See your Device’s settings for more information.

With respect to these advertising features, AAGLA is the sole controller under all applicable data protection legislation.  We will not identify users or facilitate the merging of Personal Information with additional information collected through any Google advertising product or feature unless we have your affirmative opt-in consent to that identification or merger.

Your Choices for Meta (Facebook) Tools

If we use the Meta Pixel, Meta may use information about your activity on our Site to personalize ads you see on Facebook, Instagram, and other Meta services.  You can control your ad preferences directly with Meta:   

• Meta Ad Preferences – You can view or change your Facebook Ad Preferences here.

Your Choices for Microsoft (Bing Ads, UET Tag) Tools

If we use Microsoft Tracking Technologies, you can control your ad preferences directly with Microsoft:

• LinkedIn Link to Advertising Data Settings – You can view or change your Advertising Data settings within LinkedIn here.

We may use third-party analytics and advertising providers that offer their own opt-out tools. You can manage your preferences directly through those providers’ settings or through industry opt-out tools such as those provided by the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA).
