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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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.

If you use any of the Interactive Areas, you are solely responsible for your own communications and the consequences of posting those communications.

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.
