Our Privacy Policy
Normal website usage:
The Sierra Club has a firm commitment to Internet privacy. You can visit
most portions of sierraclubmass.org without telling us who you are and
without revealing any personal information. The only information we collect
from a normal web site visit is the name of your Internet service provider,
the browser and type of machine you are using, the web site that referred
you to us, the pages you request and the date and time you request them.
We use this information to generate statistics and measure site activity
to improve the usefulness of the site to our visitors.
Collection of personally
identifiable information:
The Sierra Club may collect email addresses and other personally identifiable
data about visitors when such data is voluntarily submitted to sierraclubmass.org
For example, our site may use order forms for visitors to request information,
products, and services, or to become a member. Contact information from
the order form is used to send orders and information about the Sierra
Club to our visitors. Financial information is used to bill visitors in
connection with their orders.
Some of the activist functions of our site may require registration of
personal information. We use this information to make these functions
more effective and provide participants with additional information about
conservation issues. All such information is collected and stored in a
manner appropriate to the nature of the data.
The Sierra Club makes every effort to insure the secure collection and
transmission of sensitive user information using industry accepted data
collection and encryption methodologies.
The Sierra Club does not sell or otherwise disclose such user information
outside the organization. However, if you become a member of the Sierra
Club, some information on our membership lists, such as your name and
address, may be exchanged with other organizations. Members may opt
out of such membership list exchanges.
