Privacy Notice
CAJPA respects the privacy of its members and other visitors to its Web site. CAJPA strongly believes that if electronic commerce and online activities are to flourish, consumers must be assured that information provided online is used responsibly and appropriately. To protect online privacy, CAJPA has implemented the following policy.
What Information Does CAJPA Collect?
Most data CAJPA collects are used only to help CAJPA better serve its members. It is our general policy to collect and store only personal information that our members and visitors knowingly provide. If our privacy policies change, we will notify all users by e-mail or a special announcement placed on the Web site.
From General Users. CAJPA does not collect any personal information from users browsing its Web site. Users to the public areas of CAJPA's Web site browse anonymously. Only aggregate data -- such as the number of hits per page -- are collected. Aggregate data are only used for internal and marketing purposes and do not provide any personally identifying information.
From CAJPA Members, Conference Registrants, and Other Customers. To gain access to members-only resources and personalization features on the CAJPA Web site, members and other users are asked to register and provide some limited information. These data are submitted voluntarily. CAJPA asks users to provide their name, organization name, address, business phone, and e-mail, and payment information (including credit card numbers). Similar information may be submitted to CAJPA through membership applications, conference or seminar registration, publication orders and membership applications or renewals. Additionally, for some emails sent in HTML format by CAJPA to its members through its electronic communications, CAJPA may collect specific information regarding what the recipient does with that email. For those emails, CAJPA may monitor whether a recipient subsequently clicks through to links provided in the message. CAJPA only uses this information to enhance its products and distribution of those products to its members. This information is not sold or distributed in any other manner.
How Does CAJPA Use Data Collected?
CAJPA uses information voluntarily submitted by members and other customers in the following ways:
CAJPA Member Services and Products. Generally, CAJPA and its direct subsidiaries use data collected to improve its own Web content; to respond to visitors' interests, needs and preferences; and to develop new products and services.
Disclosures to Third Parties. CAJPA also makes member contact information available through the CAJPA Membership Directory to other members using its Web site and to those who register for its conferences. In addition, CAJPA incorporates information users provide into hard copies of the Membership Directory that it provides to members and sells to requesters.
Consent to Use Personal Information. For the purposes of the Data Protection Act(s) 1984 and 1998 (as applicable), CAJPA or its agents must store, host and otherwise process the information (including personal data) supplied by the User when registering for this Web site. User supplies as defined above when registering for the Web site in order to allow CAJPA (or its designated agents) to use the information to send the User unsolicited direct mail advertisements, promotions, and solicitations for third parties' products and services.

How Does CAJPA Use Cookies?
Cookies are files that contain information created by a web server that can be stored on a User's hard disk for use either during a particular session ("per-session" cookie) or for future use ("persistent" cookie). CAJPA uses cookies only to facilitate automated activity, store and track passwords, determine appropriate solicitations, and review navigation patterns. Cookies are not used to disseminate significant information about Users over the Internet or to analyze any information that Users have knowingly or unknowingly provided. When a user registers, the system will ask whether the user approves of the attachment of a cookie. Users may instruct their Internet browsers to opt out of accepting a "persistent" cookie and rather accept only a "per-session" cookie, but will need to login each time they visit the site to enjoy the full benefits. If the user declines the attachment of any cookie, the user may not have access to the full benefits of the website. Registration enables the site to better determine members' interest areas and provide the most relevant information.
