How We Use Your Information

We may use information collected through the website to maintain and update alumni contact information; provide information about the Theta Mu 60th Anniversary Celebration; communicate registration information, schedules, announcements, reminders, and event updates; respond to questions or requests; administer registrations and related activities; improve the website and our communications; prevent fraud, spam, misuse, or security incidents; comply with legal obligations; and otherwise operate and support activities associated with the website and event.

Email and Text Message Communications

If you provide your email address or telephone number and consent to receive communications, we may use that information to send announcements, event information, registration reminders, schedule updates, or other communications related to Theta Mu activities.

Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing goods or services or participating in an event unless otherwise specifically disclosed.

Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and service plan.

You may opt out of text message communications at any time by following the opt-out instructions contained in the message, such as replying STOP, when applicable. You may also contact us to request that communications stop.

How We Share Information

We may disclose personal information to service providers that assist us with operating the website or administering communications and events. These may include website hosting providers, form-processing services, email providers, text messaging providers, event registration providers, payment processors, analytics providers, security and spam-prevention services, and other vendors performing services on our behalf.

These service providers may receive information only as reasonably necessary to perform their services and are subject to their own contractual obligations and privacy practices.

We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, court order, or governmental request; when necessary to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of the website, its organizers, participants, or others; or in connection with the administration or transfer of website or event operations.

All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information won’t be shared with any third parties.

We do not provide text messaging opt-in information or consent to third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

Cookies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate properly, remember preferences, improve functionality, understand site usage, and help protect the website from abuse.

Cookies are small files stored on your device by your web browser.

If comments are enabled and you leave a comment, you may be able to choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies so you do not have to enter that information again when leaving another comment.

If account or administrative login functionality is used, temporary and persistent cookies may also be created for authentication, security, login preferences, and screen display settings.

Your browser may allow you to block, delete, or otherwise control cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of portions of the website.

Analytics and Website Usage

We may use analytics or similar technologies to better understand how visitors use the website. These technologies may collect information such as pages visited, approximate geographic area, browser or device type, referring pages, and interaction with website features.

Information collected through analytics services may be processed by third-party providers according to their own privacy policies.

Comments

If comments are enabled on the website and visitors leave comments, we may collect the information entered into the comment form as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user-agent information to assist with spam detection and website security.

An anonymized string created from an email address, sometimes called a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether the commenter uses that service. After a comment is approved, a Gravatar profile picture may be publicly visible alongside the comment.

Visitor comments may also be reviewed through automated spam-detection services.

Media

If users are permitted to upload images or other media to the website, those files may contain embedded information such as location data.

You should avoid uploading photographs that contain embedded GPS or other location information if you do not want that information to be accessible. Visitors may be able to download publicly available images and extract embedded information from them.

Embedded Content and Third-Party Websites

Pages on this website may include embedded or linked content from other websites, including videos, maps, images, social media content, registration services, payment services, or other third-party resources.

Embedded content may behave in the same manner as if you visited the third-party website directly. Those third parties may collect information about you, use cookies, employ additional tracking technologies, and monitor your interaction with their content.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

Event Registration and Payments

If online registration or payment functionality is offered through the website, certain information may be processed by third-party registration or payment service providers.

Payment card information may be collected directly by the applicable payment processor rather than being stored by this website. Information processed by those providers is subject to their respective privacy policies and security practices.

How Long We Retain Information

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, administer the event and related alumni communications, comply with legal or accounting obligations, resolve disputes, maintain appropriate records, and protect the website and its users.

Alumni contact information may be retained for future Theta Mu communications unless you request that it be corrected or deleted where applicable.

If comments are enabled, comments and associated metadata may be retained indefinitely so follow-up comments can be recognized and approved without unnecessary moderation.

Information may be retained for a longer period when required by law or when reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or legal purposes.

Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore use appropriate caution when transmitting personal information online.

Your Privacy Choices and Rights

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided through the website.

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may also have additional rights relating to your personal information, including rights to obtain information about how your data is used, receive a copy of certain information, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, or withdraw certain consent.

Some information may be retained when necessary to comply with legal, administrative, security, or recordkeeping obligations.

You may also unsubscribe from promotional email communications by using the unsubscribe mechanism included in an email, when available, and may opt out of applicable text message communications by following the opt-out instructions provided in those messages.

Children’s Privacy

This website is intended primarily for alumni, event participants, and others interested in Theta Mu activities and is not directed to children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Where Information May Be Processed

Information collected through this website may be processed or stored by website hosting providers and other service providers in the United States or other locations where those providers maintain operations.

By using the website and providing information, you acknowledge that information may be processed in locations outside your state or country of residence, subject to applicable law.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, event activities, technology, service providers, or legal requirements.

When changes are made, the revised Privacy Policy will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.

We encourage visitors to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
