Legal Notices & Privacy Policy
Overview
Welcome to WA-ACTE.org, the website owned and produced by
the Washington Association for Career and Technical Education
(WA-ACTE). WA-ACTE is the leading state professional
membership association for career and technical educators
and administrators. Our website is available to all
visitors, although some content and features may be restricted
to WA-ACTE members.
Legal Notices
Material from this site may be downloaded for user’s
personal, non-commercial use only.
WA-ACTE is providing information and services on this website
as a benefit and service to members and potential members.
The information and other contents of this website are provided
“as is” and WA-ACTE makes no representations or
warranties about the suitability, reliability, or accuracy
of the same for any use or purpose.
Privacy Policy
Throughout WA-ACTE.org, there are forms for visitors and members
to register for conferences, join the association, and request
information and services. These forms may ask for contact
information (personal and professional), such as your name,
home and work addresses, home and work phone numbers, email
addresses, or demographic information such as your location
or career discipline (affiliated section). Contact information
from these forms is used to provide services requested.
Personally identifiable information consists of home address,
home phone number, and home email address. You may opt-out
of sharing of personally identifiable information with other
than national ACTE and WA-ACTE’s affiliated sections
by checking the appropriate box on the forms.
All products and services on WA-ACTE.org are made available
subject to this privacy statement. By using the products
and services, you agree, without limitation or qualification,
to be bound by this privacy statement.
WA-ACTE will update this policy from time to time, so please
check back periodically. If at any point WA-ACTE decides
to use personally identifiable information in a manner different
from that stated at the time it was collected, we would post
such changes prior to implementation.
· Information Collected:
WA-ACTE does not gather anonymous user information such as:
IP address, browser, and platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser
on a Windows platform).
WA-ACTE collects personally identifiable information from
three categories:
* Members of the Association
* Individuals registering for conferences/workshops
* Individuals purchasing materials
WA-ACTE collects information in the following ways:
* WA-ACTE Membership Application: when you join or renew your
WA-ACTE membership, you are sharing personally identifiable
information.
* Conference/Workshop Registrations: you may be asked for
personally identifiable information when registering for specific
services, to receive an email newsletter, to receive informational
emails, to participate in a listserv, or to subscribe to a
publication.
The number and variety of useful services that may require
collection of personally identifiable information will continue
to grow in the future.
· Does WA-ACTE use “cookies”?
WA-ACTE does not use “cookies,” a small test file
containing a unique identification number that is transferred
from a website to the hard drive of your computer. This
unique number identifies your web browser, but not you.
· Use of the collected information
WA-ACTE collects information to provide you with the services
you request. We use the personally identifiable information
collected to send you publications, including email, information
about member benefits, and conference/workshop information
and registration forms.
Personally identifiable information will be shared with WA-ACTE
board of directors, affiliated sections, WA-ACTE membership
team, and national ACTE. You may opt out of sharing
personally identifiable information to any others than those
listed above by checking the appropriate box on membership
and registration forms. In that event only work address,
work phone number, and work email will be shared.
*Check if you do not wish to have your personally identifiable
information shared with other than National ACTE or WA-ACTE
affiliated sections.
WA-ACTE may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities
to provide information on individuals to the appropriate government
authorities. In matters involving a danger to personal
or public safety, WA-ACTE may voluntarily provide information
to the appropriate authorities.
WA-ACTE reserves the right to send electronic mail to you
for the purpose of informing you of important information.
WA-ACTE does not sell membership lists. Conference exhibitors
have access to conference participant’s non-personal
information.
· Protect Yourself!
The opportunity to network in an online community (chat room,
message board, etc.) is one of the good things about the Internet,
but you should always be careful about disclosing personal
information such as name, address, phone, email address, etc.
This information may be collected and used by others within
the online community to send unsolicited email messages.
Educate yourself. Search the Web for as much information
as you can about how to protect your privacy. Look for
a privacy policy on the websites you visit.
