The Alpha Cooperative (“TAC”) is committed to preserving the confidentiality of information about our clients and potential clients.  By visiting or submitting data through this website, you are accepting and consenting to the provisions set forth in this Privacy Policy.  If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy do not use this website.  This online privacy policy applies only to information collected through our website and not to information collected offline or other data collection, including, without limitation, data collection practices of other websites to which the site links or through websites that do not display a direct link to this statement.

Information We Collect

Data You Submit: When you request information, subscribe to a mailing list or service, respond to an online survey or otherwise actively send us data, we may retain your name, e-mail address(es), mailing address(es), telephone number(s), and certain information related to the business you represent. You can opt out of providing information by not entering it when asked and, if such information is required in order to allow us to respond to your inquiry, you will receive a notice advising you of this. In each such instance, you will know what data we collect through this site, because you actively submit it.  You may, however, visit our site anonymously.

Passively Tracked Data: When you visit the site, TAC itself or through a third party vendor, may passively track information on your computer and Internet connection, such as the IP address of your computer and/or Internet service provider, the date and time you access the site, the Internet address of websites from which you link to our site, the computer technology you are using and your movements and preferences on our site. We use technology that many other websites employ, including, without limitation, "cookies" or small data files stored on your computer’s hard drive, to collect such information. In some instances, we also use cookies to collect information in connection with future visits from that website, to recognize you as a previous visitor, or to track your activity on our site. If you follow a link to the site from an affiliate or promotion, we store information about your arrival from that affiliate or promotion in a session cookie. You do not need to have cookies turned on to visit our site. You can refuse cookies by turning them off on your browser. But, if you want to access web pages that require registration, you need to accept a mandatory session cookie, which you can delete after you leave the site.  Unless you also actively submit your personal information such as your name or address, passively tracked data does not typically allow us to identify you personally.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to combine passively tracked data with personal data that you actively submit.

Use of Information

Data collected may be used to personalize your experience, improve our website and customer service, process data collected in forms to expedite our services, administer surveys or other site features and send periodic emails.  If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email. When you submit data in connection with TAC services, we collect and process the data only for the benefit and purpose in which it was originally sent.

Personal Information

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information.  This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.  We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety. We may share or transfer your information in connection with prospective or actual sale, merger, transfer or other reorganization of all or parts of our business. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

You have choices about how your personal information is collected, used and shared.  You may access your user profile, correct and update your details or unsubscribe at any time.  If you have any questions, please contact us.  Applicable laws may give you the right to lodge a complaint with a local supervisory authority regarding this Privacy Policy.

Security

Transmissions over the Internet are never 100% secure or error-free. However, we take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right, at any time and without notice, to add to, change, update or modify this Privacy Policy simply by posting such change, update or modification on this Site.  Any such change will be effective

TAC may amend this Privacy Policy at any time without specific notice to you.  The latest Privacy Policy will be posted on our Website, and you should review this Privacy Policy prior to using our Website.
