Privacy Policy & Terms of Use

Privacy Statement

This privacy statement discloses the website privacy practices of the HFMA: Montana Chapter. It outlines the types of information gathered from site visitors and explains how each type of information is used.

Information Collection

HFMA: Montana Chapter is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in any way that differs from what is disclosed in this statement. HFMA: Montana Chapter collects both anonymous and personal information from our users at several different points on the website. The information is collected for the following uses:

  1. HFMA: Montana Chapter collects non-personal identification information through the use of “cookie” technology and/or Internet Protocol (“IP”) address tracking. Cookies are small text files a website can use to recognize repeat users and facilitate the user’s ongoing access to and use of the site. Non-personal identification information might include the browser used by the user, the type of computer, the operating systems, the Internet service providers and other similar information. The HFMA: Montana Chapter system also automatically gathers information about the areas the user visits on the site and about the links the user may select from within the site to other sites. We use cookies and/or your IP address to help identify you, track of your shopping cart and identify member login information for verification.
  2. Our site uses registration forms, order forms, and online surveys that require you to give us contact information (like your name and e-mail address), unique identifiers (like a password), and financial information (like your account or credit card numbers). We use customer contact information from registration forms to send information, purchases, purchase confirmations, and promotional material from HFMA: Montana Chapter as well as some of our partners, and the information may be provided to our partners for this purpose. Unique identifiers (such as passwords) are collected to verify your identity and to use as account numbers in our record system.
  3. The demographic information we collect is used to tailor your experience at our site by showing content that we think you might be interested in and displaying content you have expressed a preference in seeing.
  4. HFMA: Montana Chapter also may use your profile information on an aggregate basis – without personal identifiers – to provide our editors with information that is useful in developing new features and content for the site, and to provide others with aggregate information about our users and the usage patterns of the site.

Security

HFMA: Montana Chapter employs a secure socket layer (SSL) security protocol, which is a standard industry tool used to provide data encryption on pages and areas where personal data is collected. SSL is designed to protect the personal information transmitted from your computer to HFMA: Montana Chapter, allowing for safe transmission of personal and financial information over the Internet. Personal e-mail is not a part of SSL encryption.

Other Sites

Users will find advertising or other content on the site that enable linking to the sites of HFMA: Montana Chapter advertisers, sponsors and other third parties. These third party sites may have their own privacy policies or no policy at all. The HFMA: Montana Chapter Privacy Policy does not apply to such other sites. HFMA: Montana Chapter has no control over and is not responsible for the content displayed on such sites, nor over the measures, if any, that are taken by such sites to protect the privacy of user information. Users should check the privacy policy of any third party site before providing personally identifiable information to it.

HFMA: Montana Chapter cannot control the use of cookies by advertisers or third parties displaying data on the HFMA: Montana Chapter site or whose sites a user visits or links to from the HFMA: Montana Chapter site. Most browsers are set to accept cookies. You can set yours to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent.

Public Forums

HFMA: Montana Chapter may provide interactive forums, chat rooms, news groups, bulletin boards and other interactive areas (“Interactive Areas”) on the site. If you use any of the Interactive Areas, you are solely responsible for your own communications and the consequences of posting those communications. HFMA: Montana Chapter does not assume any responsibility for the truthfulness, accuracy or reliability of any material posted on any Interactive Area, or of consequences of any Interactive Area communications on or arising from use of the site. Likewise, HFMA: Montana Chapter does not assume any responsibility for messages posted on the site and forwarded to third parties. IN CASES WHERE YOU FEEL THREATENED OR BELIEVE SOMEONE ELSE IS IN DANGER, YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY IMMEDIATELY.

HFMA: Montana Chapter reserves the right, but is not obligated to record the dialogue in public chat rooms. HFMA: Montana Chapter does not screen communications in advance and is not responsible for screening or monitoring material posted by users, or any other person or entity. If notified by a user of communication(s) which are allegedly improper, HFMA: Montana Chapter may, but is not obligated to, investigate the allegation and determine in its sole discretion to remove or request the removal of the communication(s). HFMA: Montana Chapter reserves the right but is not obligated to remove or edit communications posted on the site without notice. In addition to the removal rights described above, HFMA: Montana Chapter reserves the right to terminate a user’s access to any or all Interactive Areas at any time, with or without notice, in the exercise of its sole discretion.

How can I opt out?

This site gives you the option to remove your information from our database so you will not receive future communications or receive our services. It is not possible for a user to delete his or her profile from our database completely, nor is it feasible to delete all traces of a user’s activity in the system. Messages posted in public forums such as message boards are examples of user activities that are not feasible to delete. However, you may request deletion of your e-mail address from HFMA: Montana Chapter or update your personal information.
