PRIVACY POLICY Your privacy is important to the Building Owners and Managers Association of Orange County (BOMA OC). This statement discloses the information practices for BOMA OC’s website including what type of information is gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and with whom the information is shared. What information do we gather? Information on bomaoc.org is gathered in two ways: (1) indirectly (for example, through our site's technology); and (2) directly (for example, when you provide information on various pages or forms provided on this site). One example of information we collect indirectly is through our Internet access logs. When you access the BOMA OC website, your Internet address is automatically collected and is placed in our Internet access logs. We collect information directly from you in a number of ways, some of which we describe in this Privacy Statement. One way is through the use of cookies. Cookies are small files of information, which save and retrieve information about your visit to our site—for example, how you entered our site, how you navigated through the site and what information was of interest to you. The cookies we use identify you merely as a number. (If you are uncomfortable regarding cookies use, please keep in mind you can disable cookies on your computer by changing the settings in preferences or options menu in your browser.) Please note this website may contain links to other websites. BOMA OC has no control over and is not responsible for the privacy policies or content of such sites. How do we use this information? We analyze it to determine what is most effective about our site, to help us identify ways to improve it, and eventually, to determine how we can tailor BOMA OC’s site to make it more effective. We may also use data for other purposes, which we would describe to you at the point we collect the information. Will we share this with outside parties? As a not for profit association, data we collect may be transferred throughout the organization. We will not sell individual information and will share it only with our advisors. What about sensitive personal data? We do not generally seek to collect sensitive personal data through this site. If we do seek to collect such data, we will ask you to consent to our proposed uses of the data. We may also collect some sensitive personal data incidentally. By providing us with unsolicited sensitive personal data, you consent to our using the data subject to applicable law as described in this Privacy Statement. The references to "sensitive personal data" are to the various categories of personal data identified by data privacy laws as requiring special treatment, including in some circumstances the need to obtain explicit consent. These categories comprise personal identity numbers, personal data about personality and private life, racial or ethnic origin, nationality, political opinions, membership of political parties or movements, religious, philosophical or other similar beliefs, membership of a trade union or profession or trade association, physical or mental health, genetic code, addictions, sexual life, property matters or criminal record (including information about suspected criminal activities). Do we give you access to your information? You are entitled to know whether we hold information about you and, if we do, to have access to that information and require it to be corrected if it is inaccurate. You can do this by contacting us via our webmaster at webmaster@bomaoc.org What about data security? We take appropriate steps to maintain the security of your data on the BOMA OC website. You should understand that the open nature of the Internet is such that data may flow over networks without security measures and may be accessed and used by people other than those for whom the data is intended. We are interested in maintaining your privacy and creating valuable resources for you to use. If you have any questions now or during your visit, please contact us via our webmaster at webmaster@bomaoc.org.
