Privacy policy
Information Systems Security Association Middle Tennessee (ISSA Mid TN) takes privacy seriously. As part of this effort we wish to inform you of our Privacy Policy.
The ISSA Mid TN Privacy Policy articulates the privacy and data protection principles followed by ISSA Mid TN with regards to the personal information of its members, volunteers, partners, and current or former members of the Board of Directors (“covered individuals”). We follow privacy policies and data protection practices to comply with the law and to earn trust and confidence in ISSA Mid TN and its practices. ISSA Mid TN privacy policies and data protection practices extend by contract to our supplier and partner relationships. ISSA Mid TN volunteers, and those working on behalf of ISSA Mid TN are informed about these policies and practices and are expected to follow them.
Scope
This ISSA Mid TN Privacy Policy applies to the collection, storage, processing, transfer, and use of personal information concerning covered individuals except where the contract with a covered individual defines different requirements. Personal information includes any data by which a person can be identified or located, as well as any data to which ISSA Mid TN has access in member management systems.
Personal information may be collected from covered individuals through a variety of means, including, as examples, websites, other ordering channels, and service processes.
This policy governs members and volunteer data protection policies; implementation standards; rulebooks; business processes; applications; web, product, and service developments; and technology roadmaps.
All ISSA Mid TN representatives and contracted parties working on behalf of ISSA Mid TN must comply with these policies, even if local law is less restrictive. Specific practices are tailored to meet the legal, regulatory, and cultural requirements of the countries and regions where ISSA Mid TN operates.
Collection of Information
We collect non-personally identifiable information about you in a number of ways, including tracking your activities through your IP address or most-recently-visited URL. We may also collect personally identifiable information about you through a voluntarily contact information form, such as name, phone, email address, and mailing address. We may also collect personal information from you at other points on our site that state that personal information is being collected.
Data Ownership
ISSA Mid TN and its affiliated companies are the sole owner of the information collected on issamidtn.org and infosecnashville.com. We do not sell or rent your personally identifiable information to any third parties.
Use of Information
We use personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information for internal marketing purposes, for trend analysis, for pattern detection, and for site administration. However, we do not use personally identifiable information collected from the website to send unsolicited mailings to you. Of course, if applicable, we do use personally identifiable information to perform the services for which such data was collected (i.e., if you sign up for an email newsletter, we will send the email newsletter to the address you provide us).
We provide you the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes, when we ask for this information.
If you no longer wish to receive promotional communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by emailing us at communications@issamidtn.org.
Review and Removal of Your Personally Identifiable Data
If you provide us with personally identifiable information to have us perform ongoing services to you, we will provide you with a way to review the information we have on file and either change or remove such data. To do so, please notify us at communications@issamidtn.org and we will provide you with your contact information for review.
To make changes, send us the changes and we will respond to your request for access within thirty (30) days of the request. Unfortunately, to the extent that such information is also stored in other databases, we cannot always ensure that such corrections or deletions will reach the other databases. If you wish to have information you provided to us online removed from our records, please provide us with the information as you submitted it to us at the address above. We will use all reasonable efforts to ensure that your information is removed from our records.
Cookies and Other Tracking Methods
When you view our website, we might store some information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a “cookie” or similar file. Cookies are small pieces of information stored on your hard drive, not on our site. Cookies, which are tied to personal information, do not spy on you or otherwise invade your privacy, and they cannot invade your hard drive and steal information. Rather, they help you navigate a website as easily as possible. Cookies can help us provide information that is targeted to your interests and they allow us to better understand how users use our site, which in turn helps us focus our resources on features that are most popular with our users. You are always free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but some parts of our site, including our registered member account web sites may not work properly in that case.
Legal Disclosure
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our website.
The information provided on issamidtn.org does not constitute legal, tax, accounting, or financial advice and is offered as an information service only. Those seeking specific advice should contact a professional advisor. No liability whatsoever is assumed in connection with the use of this website.
Security
We use industry-standard methods to protect your personally identifiable information from unauthorized access. Among other techniques, we usually store such information on a computer behind our “firewall” in a secure location, and we often restrict the number of employees internally who can access such data. Of course, there is no such thing as “perfect security” on the Internet.
Onward Transfer
ISSA Mid TN does not transfer personal information provided by covered individuals to third parties unless those third parties promise to give the data the equivalent level of protection that ISSA Mid TN provides.
As an association operating strictly within the United States, ISSA Mid TN will only use Delivery Centers located inside the continental United States.
Third Party Sites
This policy only addresses our activities from our servers. Other sites (including those that we link to within an advertisement, article or otherwise, and third party sites or services with which we offer or co-brand) may have their own policies, which we do not control, and thus are not addressed by this policy.
Amendments
Amendments to this policy will be posted at this URL and will be effective when posted.
Changes in this Privacy Statement
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the home page, and other places we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
ISSA Mid TN reserves the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please review it frequently. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a notice on our home page.
