MANTEC respects the privacy of its members and other visitors to its Web site. MANTEC strongly believes that if electronic commerce and online activities are to flourish, Users must be assured that information provided online is used responsibly and appropriately. To protect online privacy, MANTEC has implemented the following policy.

What Information Does MANTEC Collect?

Most data MANTEC collects are used only to help MANTEC 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 via a special announcement placed on the Web site.

From General Users. MANTEC does not collect any personal information from Users browsing its Web site. Users to the public areas of MANTEC’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 MANTEC Event Registrants and Other Customers. To gain access to some resources and personalization features on the MANTEC website, Users are asked to register and provide some limited information. These data are submitted voluntarily. MANTEC asks Users to provide their name, organization name, business phone, and e-mail. Similar information may be submitted to MANTEC through applications; training, conference, or seminar registrations; publication orders; subscriptions; and contest registrations.

How Does MANTEC Use Data Collected?

MANTEC uses information voluntarily submitted by members and other customers in the following ways:

MANTEC Services and Products. Generally, MANTEC and its direct subsidiaries use data collected to improve its own web content; respond to visitors’ interests, needs, and preferences; and promote its services.

Disclosures to Third Parties. On occasion, MANTEC may also provide limited data to third parties that offer products and services. These limited data include names, job titles, companies, and business addresses, but do not include business e-mail addresses. Users may request MANTEC to refrain from disclosing the data it collects to third parties on the website, meeting, or conference registration forms or any other form on which they are providing information by contacting MANTEC at info@mantec.org or 717-843-5054 to express their preferences if they determine later that they do not wish to have the information shared.

Credit Card Account Information. MANTEC does not disclose credit card account information provided by its members and customers. When members and customers choose to pay using their credit cards, MANTEC submits the information needed to obtain payment to the appropriate clearinghouse.

How Does MANTEC 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). MANTEC 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 log in 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.

What Privacy Issues Arise with Links to Other Sites?

This Web site contains links to other websites. MANTEC has no control over and is not responsible for the privacy policies or content of such sites.

What About Information from Children?

MANTEC does not intend to collect information from children. MANTEC is committed to the safety of children, and we do not intend to collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 18. If a User is under age 18, the User should ask his or her parent for permission before sending any information to our site or anyone else online. The User’s parent should contact us directly in order to provide us with prior written consent. MANTEC will not intentionally use personal information from or send communications to children under age 13 without prior parental consent.

How Should a User Contact MANTEC?

If any User suspects MANTEC has handled its personal information in a manner that does not comply with this privacy statement, please contact us by emailing info@mantec.org or by calling 717-843-5054.
