The "District Council of Iron Workers of the State of California
and Vicinity", herein referred to as DCIW, has created this privacy notice to explain how we use
information that you may provide while visiting our website and to demonstrate
our firm commitment to Internet privacy. The DCIW may modify this policy from
time to time so we encourage you to check this page when revisiting this
website.
The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices
for this website. The type and amount of information received depends on how you
use the site.
Website Usage/Information Collection
When you visit the DCIW
website, we automatically obtain information from you about the name of your
Internet service provider, the browser and type of computer you are using, the
website that referred you to us, the pages you request and the date and time of
those requests. We use this information on an aggregate basis to generate
statistics and measure site activity to improve the usefulness of the site to
our visitors. For example, we use this information to track which pages are most
popular among visitors as a whole. We do not track the pages you or any
individual visitor may look at during a visit to our site and we do not collect
any other information without your knowledge and permission. We do not collect
or store personally identifiable information, such as your name, mailing
address, e-mail address or phone number, unless you provide that information.
Collection of Personally Identifiable Information
The DCIW
provides Web forms so you may provide your contact information to engage in
DCIW activities such as online activism (i.e., contact Congress), to place
orders for products or services, to correspond with the DCIW or to submit a
testimonial (i.e., share your story). Any information we collect, such as your
name, mailing address, e-mail address, type of request you are making and any
additional information you provide, is collected and stored by the DCIW. The
information is used to fulfill your request and track aggregate information
about usage of these features. The DCIW makes every effort to ensure the
secure collection and transmission of your sensitive information using industry
accepted data collection and encryption methodologies, such as SSL (Secure
Sockets Layer).
SPECIAL NOTICE FOR PARENTS:
We want to help you guard your
children's privacy. We encourage you to talk to your children about safe and
responsible use of their personal information while using the Internet. The
DCIW does not collect, use or distribute children's personally identifiable
information to any third parties. If you have any reservations, questions or
concerns about your child's access to this site or how information that your
child provides is used by us, please contact us.
DCIW's Sharing of Personally Identifiable Information
The
DCIW may exchange limited personally identifiable information (such as name
and e-mail address) with partner organizations when people join as dues-paying
members of an affiliate union of the DCIW or the Alliance for Retired
Americans and become part of that organization's regular membership list.
The DCIW website will not post your personal contact information,
including e-mail address, street address and phone numbers, without your
consent. Without such consent, website staff will withhold posting personal
contact information for that individual.
Financial Information and Payments
We use a secure server for
processing payments and financial information. DCIW staff log in to the
secure site, retrieve the information and process it using our in-house credit
card processing equipment. The DCIW does not retain, share, store or use
personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive
containing information about the user. The DCIW website uses a cookie for
measuring aggregate web statistics, including number of monthly visitors, number
of repeat visitors, most popular webpages and other information. DCIW will
also use cookies to facilitate your online visit by maintaining data that you
provide for online activism activities so that you will not need to resubmit
certain information. The DCIW does not use cookies to track what specific
pages an individual site visitor views.

We use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also
protect user information off-line. All user information is restricted in our
