Our Commitment to Privacy New Jersey Builders Association (“NJBA”) considers your privacy to be of great importance. Therefore, to better protect your privacy we provide this privacy statement notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and on the various registration and other pages where personally identifiable information may be requested. Please note that this web site may contain links to other organizations' web sites that you may browse to from our site. NJBA does not control the practices of such organizations and thus you should understand that NJBA cannot be responsible for the privacy policy or practices or the content of such web sites. By visiting this web site you accept the policies and practices described in this Privacy Statement. NJBA reserves the right to make changes to this notice by posting such changes on this web site. Changes are effective immediately upon posting unless a different effective date is stated. This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the NJBA website. The Information We Collect and How We Use It Required information. There are pages on this site where we may request specific information about you, for example in order to register you for membership, provide on-line registration for convention attendance, register you for e-mail updates, fulfill your requests for information, and communicate with you about our organization and services. The types of personal information that may be collected include:
On some pages, we may request that you submit information about other people, such as when you wish to invite a colleague to a convention event. In this circumstance, the types of personal information collected may include:
Whenever we require information from you, it is our policy to collect and save such information so that we do not need to ask you for it repeatedly. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of some of the features of this web site. Registration. You may register for membership on our website (by following links to one of the 5 affiliated local association websites) to gain access to the services of our full time professional staff or receive information such as that contained in our Dimensions or Weekender newsletters. You may also separately register online for special events such as the Atlantic Builders Convention. Optional Information supplied voluntarily. From time to time, we may invite you to participate in voluntary surveys or otherwise supply additional optional information. Responding to these requests is completely voluntary and is your choice. We collect and analyze information voluntarily supplied via surveys or otherwise in order to track and improve service to our members and potential members, and for any additional purposes indicated in the request for information. We may use non-identifying and aggregate information for purposes such as better designing our website and planning convention events. We may disclose this aggregate data to third parties, however, we will not disclose anything that could be used to identify particular individuals. Automatic collection of information. Like many web sites, our site may periodically utilize a technology called "cookies" to improve your experience in using the site, as well as our efficiency in serving you. A cookie is a small data file that a web server can deliver to your browser, which is then stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies are designed to permit us to provide better or more personalized service when you are visiting our site, and can also identify web sites visited between visits to our site. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, providing you with as much control as you wish as to the decision to accept/reject the cookie, and deletion of the cookie upon leaving our web site. Please refer to your browser's Help information for details on setting cookie notification services. We may also track the Internet domains from which people contact us, and from time-to-time may gather information concerning the "referring" domain that a person visited prior to our site, and the "destination" domain a person visits after leaving our site. Information automatically collected is used to identify and analyze the trends and statistics of visits to our web site and to make our web site more responsive to the needs and interests of our members. Disclosure of Information Information about our members is important to us, and we are not in the business of releasing it to others. There may be times when we will need to disclose your information to our service providers or contractors for the purpose of processing registrations or other transactions and related information. Before doing so, we will require the organizations receiving such information to commit to the same level of protection for your information as is provided in this Privacy Statement. We will not knowingly distribute your name, address or other information you provide outside of the NJBA, National Association of Home Builders (“NAHB”), or local associations; or publicize the fact that you submitted information to us, unless we have your permission or notify you beforehand, or we are required to do so by law or government order. For purposes of convention marketing, we may disclose contact information to and among exhibitors to the extent that you have assented to this disclosure either online or at the conventions (e.g., by providing your event badge or contact information at an exhibitor booth). Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to those described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. Choice and Consent By providing personal and business information on our registration form and by accepting any cookies provided by NJBA, you consent to our collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Statement. If you do not agree to the provisions of this Privacy Statement, you can refuse to register, refuse to accept cookies, or refuse to volunteer optional information. Our Commitment to Data Security It is not possible for web sites to achieve perfect security. We do, however, take commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial precautions using widely accepted methods to safeguard the security of your information against inadvertent disclosure to unauthorized persons. All data collected through our site is maintained under control of NJBA or its contractors within secure databases and servers. Security controls during data collection may also include data encryption techniques to protect the security of credit card or financial information transmitted directly through this website. As is generally the case, this protection does not extend to Internet e-mail messages sent outside this web site directly to and from individual e-mail addresses. Access to Your Information You can access all your personally identifiable information that we collect online and maintain by contacting NJBA via telephone, e-mail or postal mail. As directed, we will correct, amend or delete any inaccurate entries to better maintain and safeguard your information.
