PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personally identifiable information’ (PII) is being used online. PII, as used in U.S. privacy law and information security, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in accordance with EU regulation, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.

WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT AND WHY WE COLLECT IT
When registering on our site, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your name, company name, email address, phone number, or other details to help you with your experience. We collect information from you when you complete a form to receive information through our site, purchase an item from the UEA Store, or register for a UEA event. We adopt appropriate data collection, storage and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of your personal information and data stored on our site.
CONTACT FORMS
You may choose to fill out a contact form on our site. We collect information from you when you complete a form to receive information through our site. This information is used to contact you about the products/services on our website in which you have expressed interest.
COOKIES
UEA’s website may place “cookies” on the browser of your computer. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies may enhance the convenience and use of the website. For example, the information provided through cookies may be used to recognize you as a previous user of the website (so you do not have to enter your personal information every time), offer personalized information for your use, and otherwise facilitate your experience using the website. You may choose to decline cookies if your browser permits but doing so may affect your ability to access or use certain features of the website.
UEA’s website may also utilize web beacons. A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag or clear GIF, links web pages to web servers and their cookies and may be used to transmit information collected through cookies back to a web server. The information collected through these automated means may include information that we gather and store about your visit to, and use of, the websites, such as your IP address, type of browser and operating system used, date and time you access the websites, pages you visit, and, if you linked to the websites from another website, the address of that website. This data does not include Personal Information and is not treated as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy, but it may include the IP address of your device. We may link an IP address to information that is personally identifiable.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can disable this function so that your browser will not accept cookies. Please be aware that disabling this function may impact your use and enjoyment of this website.
DO NOT TRACK
Currently, various browsers — including Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari — offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that relies on a technology known as a DNT header, which sends a signal to websites’ visited by the user about the user’s browser DNT preference setting. We do not currently commit to responding to browsers’ DNT signals, in part, because no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted by industry groups, technology companies or regulators, including no consistent standard of interpreting user intent. We take privacy and meaningful choice seriously and will make efforts to continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.
WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide you with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety.
HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR DATA
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
WHAT RIGHTS YOU HAVE OVER YOUR DATA
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE TERMS
By using this site, you signify your acceptance of this policy and terms of service. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our site. Your continued use of the site following the posting of changes to this policy will be deemed your acceptance of those changes.
HOW WE PROTECT YOUR DATA
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the UEA website, your information is protected both online and offline. We use appropriate security measures to protect the security of your data both online and offline. These measures vary based on the sensitivity of the information that we collect, process, store, and the current state of technology. Please note, though, that no website or internet transmission is completely secure, so while we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, hacking, data loss or a data breach will never occur.
WHAT DATA BREACH PROCEDURES WE HAVE IN PLACE
We will notify the users via email within 7 business days should a data breach occur. We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or a government agency to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
United Employers Association has the discretion to update this privacy policy at any time, and any changes made will be in accordance with the U.S. Fair Information Practices and the GDPR. We encourage users to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this privacy policy periodically and become aware of modifications.
INFORMATION & DISCLOSURES OF PERSONAL DATA UNDER GDPR
GDPR requires that personal data from the EEA is subject to special protection. GDPR also provides EU-based individuals with certain individual rights with respect to their personal information. We will make all reasonable efforts to abide by GDPR and provide at least the same level of data protection for personal data received and processed from the EU as the privacy protections set forth in our privacy policy. We will also make reasonable attempts to accommodate requests by Data Subjects to exercise GDPR rights. Where necessary and appropriate, we have implemented organizational and technical measures that include internal data protection policies and maintaining documentation on our processing activities.
