PSTC Privacy Policy

PSTC currently collects two types of information from its Web site: (1) your IP (Internet Protocol) address; and (2) information voluntarily submitted on publication or meeting forms, e-mails sent through the Web site or for access to the members only section of our Web site.

Your IP address often does not identify an individual, but rather is only a temporary name by which an individual obtains access to the PSTC Web site. PSTC uses your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Web site quality. We do not use IP addresses to personally identify users. We use a log file of IP addresses to determine which areas of our site visitors like based on the volume of traffic and to better prepare future site content based on the interests of users. We do not track the usage patterns of individual users, except when they click through from e-mails that we send out.

Information voluntarily disclosed to PSTC either on line or in writing is added to the relevant PSTC database to enable processing of the order or registration, or for appropriate response. This information is usually the name, address and item purchased, meeting attended or topic of interest. PSTC may distribute further relevant information to individuals identified in this way. Occasionallly, PSTC contracts with third parties for co-marketing or other activities related to PSTC’s goals and objectives, and provides select member information under strict confidentiality agreements.

Information provided to PSTC in non-electronic form may also be used in this way. Individuals who would like to "opt out" of receiving additional communications from PSTC should contact PSTC to have their names removed from our lists. Corrections or other changes may also by made by contacting us via our feeback form or by calling 847-562-2630.

PSTC endeavors to take appropriate measures to assure the reliability of member records and to protect them from loss, misuse or alteration. All member records and member databases are maintained offline and are therefore completely protected from access by Internet users.
