Cookies 
We use "cookies" on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor's hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site.

Links 
This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.

Sharing 

We use an outside credit card processing company for joining, workshops, and goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond filling your order.

Surveys 
From time-to-time our site requests information via surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and you may choose whether or not to participate and therefore disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and address), and demographic information (such as zip code). Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site or guild activities.

Security 
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.  Wherever, we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the Web page.  While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. A limited number of QU Board members and admins who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, membership chair, workshop chair, or Treasurer) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Membership Administrators Only

Contact the QU Treasurer for the Wild Apricot privacy policy and use of your email. 

If you feel that we are not abiding by this privacy policy, you should contact us immediately via email.
