Assemble Meetings Privacy Policy

General

This Assemble Meetings Privacy Policy (“Policy”) covers how OSSBA (“Supplier”) handles personal information collected and received from or through the Assemble Meetings website, including the online applications at https://meeting.assemblemeetings.com/ and https://www.ossba.org/, (together, the “Site”). As used in this Policy, the term “Supplier” shall also include its third-party business partners, resellers, and vendors that supply, operate, or otherwise make Assemble Meetings or the Site available to subscribers and users. This Policy applies to information Supplier collects in connection with use of the Site. It does not apply to information collected through other means or by others, such as through third-party social media sites or by the Assemble Meetings subscriber/account holder.

Personal information is information about you that ordinarily would not be publicly available and that identifies you individually, such as your name, residential address, personal e-mail address, geolocation (your mobile internet device’s longitudinal and latitudinal information), and personal phone number.

Accessing the Site and Personal Information Collection

You are not required to hold a Assemble Meetings subscription and you not required to provide personal information in order to access certain parts of the Site. When you access the Site without actively providing any personal information, we may collect limited technical information, such as your IP address and geolocation. We also use cookies and analytics as described below.

Certain parts of the Site do require that you provide us with personal information in order to gain access to or use of those parts. You may also provide information if you participate in a chat session through the live chat feature offered by third-party providers in some areas of the Site.

Cookies

Supplier uses cookies (text files placed on your hard drive by a web server) to help personalize and maximize your experience and time online. Cookies are not used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. They are uniquely assigned to your computer and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. We use cookies to improve the Site and to facilitate your use of the Site.

User Notations and Entries

Subject to subscriber settings and preferences, the Site may make online forums and message boards available to certain users and may allow them to make notations within the online application.

Therefore, Supplier makes no guaranty of confidentiality as to any such entries.

Additionally, Supplier cannot control the actions of other users of the Site with whom you may choose to share your User Contributions. Therefore, Supplier cannot and does not guarantee that your User Contributions will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. Information you disclose in these areas may be disclosable under “public information” laws that apply to the subscriber/account holder, so exercise caution when deciding what information to disclose.

State-Specific Disclosures

Pursuant to the Illinois Student Online Personal Protection Act (105 ILS 85/15(6)), OSSBA is currently disclosing, or has disclosed, “covered information” or potentially “covered information,” to the following third parties and affiliates:

Web Links

The Site may contain links to other websites or third-party applications. Supplier is not responsible for the privacy practices of sites other than its own. We encourage you to become aware of the privacy policies and statements on other sites.

Protection of Information

Some areas of the Site are secured and can only be accessed using unique login credentials. You must have a specific user identifier (user ID) and password to access resources through any password-protected portions of the Site. Your login credentials and password are for your use only and are strictly confidential. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of those credentials and are responsible for all activity occurring on the Site using your login credentials and password. You are strictly prohibited from any sharing of your login credentials and/or password with any other person(s) and from any use of your login credentials other than for your use of the Site in compliance with this Policy.

Social Media

The collection and use of information on social media websites and applications are governed by their own privacy policies. Please remember that any information posted on or through any Assemble Meetings social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest, or on other social media pages or channels, is subject to the policies and practices of the applicable social media channel.

We may receive personal information from a social media site platform or application when you connect through a social media feed, post content, or otherwise interact with us using social media tools. For example, we may receive basic Facebook account information (name, e-mail, gender, birthday, current city, and profile picture URL) through Facebook. Also, when you “like” us, or send a “Tweet” to us through a social media channel, we may receive your username, handle, and any other available personal information from the social media site or application. All information received from social media sites and applications is treated and used in the same manner and for the same purposes as described in this Policy with respect to similar information we obtain through the Site.

Third-Party Data Collection/Online Tracking

We may use service providers such as Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and Google AdWords to help us understand and improve the usage of the Site and the effectiveness of our marketing. Google Analytics may use cookies, your IP address or an anonymous identifier as well as certain information from your browser, together with other information about you and your visits to our Site and other websites, so that we, Google, or third parties may provide you with advertisements about goods and services of interest to you on our Site and other websites (including through Google search results pages) and/or to provide analytical information about our Site. If you would like more information about advertising networks, including choices about the use of information by Google and other companies for multi-site advertising purposes, go to www.networkadvertising.org and optout.networkadvertising.org. Also, Google offers a Google Analytics browser add-on (designed to be compatible only with certain browsers) to provide website visitors the ability to prevent their data from being collected and used by Google Analytics. That add-on may be obtained here; other Google privacy controls are available here; and you can manage your Google ad settings here.

Various internet browsers offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that uses a DNT header to indicate the DNT preference setting on the browser. Supplier does not track your activity over time and across different websites or online services, and thus we do not currently respond to browsers’ DNT signals with respect to the Site. We do not permit our third-party service providers to collect information from the Site for other websites or for their own purposes other than as described in this Policy.

Data Retention

How long we retain your Personal Data depends on the type of data and the purpose for which we process the data. We will retain your Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Geolocation Information

We may receive information about your geolocation and your mobile internet device when you use our Site. We may use this information to provide you with location-based services and information. Most mobile internet devices allow you to turn off geolocation, and we encourage you to contact your device manufacturer for detailed instructions on how to do so.

Children’s Privacy

We are committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the collection, storage, and use of personal information of minors under the age of 18, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998.

We do not collect personal information from minors under the age of 18. Individuals under the age of 18 are not permitted to use the Site without the supervision of a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 18 or knowingly allow such persons to register for an online account or to place orders or provide personal information through the Site. If we learn that someone under the age of 18 has provided any personal information through the Site, we will remove and permanently delete that information as soon as reasonably possible.

If you are a parent or guardian who believes that your minor under the age of 18 has submitted personal information or other information to us without your consent, please contact us using the contact information provided below. Once we verify that you are the parent or legal guardian, we will cooperate with you to discuss what, if any, personal information we have collected about your child and how that information may have been shared or used.

Updates to This Policy

Supplier may modify this Policy at any time. When changes are made, we will update the version date at the bottom of the Policy. Your use of Assemble Meetings services following these changes means that you accept the revised Policy.
