IDEA understands how important privacy is to our members. We are committed to protecting your privacy and want to make sure that you understand how your membership information is used. We also want you to be aware that you have choices about how we use this information.
What Information We Collect: When you apply for membership, we ask for basic information such as your name, address, e-mail, etc. We keep track of your participation in IDEA events and member services (like liability insurance, etc.) so we can understand our members' interests and evaluate the effectiveness of our offerings. We also collect demographic information from other sources to help us learn more about member characteristics and needs. In addition, we may ask for additional information in your visits to www.ideafit.com. All of this information helps us better serve our members and improve our programs.
As a way of providing additional membership value, we ask for
your e-mail address so that you may receive the IDEA e-Newsletter
and membership e-mail communications on a regular basis. This
helps the association control our mailing expenses and communicate
with members. IDEA does not release or provide for sale ANY
member e-mail information. We do not support e-mail SPAM in
any form and provide an easy subscriber "opt-out" on every email
communication sent by the association.
Information Sharing: We share your
mailing list information (name & address) only with companies
that we believe are reputable and have beneficial products or
services that are of value to IDEA members. Some of the providers
of IDEA member services, including some of those listed on our
Member Services and Discounts area, pay a fee for access to
our mailing list. Our contracts with these companies require
them to keep the mailing list information strictly confidential;
we oversee the companies' compliance by only making our lists
available to bonded, third-party mailing firms who conduct the
mailing on behalf of these companies. No company actually has
direct access to our membership mailing list. Finally, we may
release personal member information on the rare occasions when
we are required to do so by law, or when necessary or appropriate
to comply with legal process or to protect or defend IDEA and
its members. We do not sell or rent mailing list to telemarketers
or mailing list brokers.
We respect your choices. If you do not want us to share your name and address information with providers of IDEA member services, you can contact us as specified below.
