SHARE is committed to protecting participants’ privacy in all activities and services. SHARE will use the contact information provided by members and participants only in the conduct of SHARE business.

1) Information categories
The information collected during the normal course of business generally falls into the following two categories: Contact Information and Aggregate Information.

a) Contact Information: during the normal course of business SHARE collects information such as names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, employers, credit card numbers, expiration dates, shipping addresses, ID numbers, login names, and demographics such as age and gender, job title, and specific areas of interest. SHARE requests this Contact Information when members or participants order a product or service, participate in activities, fill out surveys, and correspond with the organization.

b) Aggregate Information: SHARE may collect information that will be used only in aggregate to evaluate SHARE’s effectiveness, and to better provide the members and prospective customers with improved products and services.

2) Protecting personal information
a) SHARE will not sell, rent, or provide the Contact Information to others. A third party will never be given direct access to the Contact Information.

b) SHARE does use the Contact Information to market upcoming SHARE events. This includes sending email and land mail announcing events.

c) From time to time, SHARE will forward third party information about a company’s products or services that may be of interest to members or prospects through email or through a bonded mailing house. Any email will be clearly identified as from SHARE.

d) If a member or prospect no longer wishes to receive these communications, the member or prospect can opt out at any time.

3) Communications with Volunteers and Members
a) SHARE uses the Contact Information to communicate with its volunteer management team.

b) SHARE uses the Contact Information to solicit information such as Strategic Concerns Surveys from its Members.

c) SHARE does not offer the option to opt out of these communications. SHARE considers these to be business communications required to fulfill our mission as a user group.

4) Accessing and changing personal information

At any time, members and prospects can change all of their personally identifiable information that SHARE collects and maintains. To protect members’ and prospects’ privacy and security, SHARE may take reasonable steps to verify the individual’s identity before making changes.
