Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 30, 2020

The McHenry County Wireless Association (“us”, “we”, or “our”) operates the MCWA website (the “Service”).

This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information when you use our Service.

We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

We use your Personal Information for providing and improving the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, accessible at https://mcwa.org

Information Collection And Use

We collect two general types of information, “Non-Personally Identifiable Information” and “Personally Identifiable Information.” We collect this information to improve the Service and Your experience. We do not sell, trade, rent, or transfer this information to third parties.

1. Non-Personally Identifiable Information

Like most website operators, the Service collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.  MCWA’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how our visitors use the Service and to detect problems.

2. Personally Identifiable Information

While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. Personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) may include, but is not limited to:

      • Name
      • Call sign
      • Mailing address
      • Email address

The Personal Information is collected to facilitate transmitting an application for association membership or to order MCWA items (e.g., badges, etc.) If payment is required, the collection of said payment will be made using a third party service (e.g., PayPal).  Our Service will not collect financial or payment information. Personal Information is retained only for the period of time it takes to complete the transaction (e.g., transmit a membership application to the association’s Treasurer, place an order, etc.).

Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us. If we discover that a child under 18 has provided us with Personal Information, we will delete such information from our servers immediately.

Cookies

Cookies are files with small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your computer’s hard drive.

We use “cookies” to collect information and to store Your website preferences. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.

Service Providers

We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service, to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used. 

These third parties may have access to your Personal Information to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Security

The Service employs data encryption between our browser and our server. The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Links To Other Sites

Our Service contains links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

Compliance With Laws

We will disclose your Personal Information where required to do so by law or subpoena.

Changes To This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
