Cookies
The Association’s Websites use “cookies” for routine and proper operation, including collecting statistical data about Website usage, verifying details, tailoring the Website to your preferences, and ensuring data security.
Modern browsers allow you to avoid accepting cookies, and you can change your browser settings accordingly. If you are unsure how to do so, check your browser’s help file.
Third-Party Advertisements
From time to time, like many other websites, the Association allows companies and organizations to manage advertisement systems on the Websites. The advertisements you view during your visit to the Association’s Websites may originate from the servers of these companies and organizations. To manage their advertisements, these entities may place cookies on your computer. These cookies allow them to collect information about the websites you visited, advertisements you viewed, and ads you clicked on. The use of cookies by these entities is subject to their privacy policies, not the Association’s.
Data Security
The Association implements updated systems and procedures for data security on its Websites. While these systems and procedures reduce the risks of unauthorized access, they do not provide absolute security. Therefore, the Association cannot guarantee that its services are completely immune to unauthorized access to the information stored in them.
Right to Review Information
Under the Protection of Privacy Law, 1981, any individual has the right to review the information held about them in a database. An individual who reviews the information and finds it incorrect, incomplete, unclear, or outdated may request that the database owner correct or delete the information.
