The Clinical Social Work Association is committed to maintaining the privacy of all visitors and members to our website. We collect no personal information about you when you visit our website unless you choose to provide that information to us.

This privacy notice discloses the privacy practices for www.clinicalsocialworkassociation.org. This privacy notice applies solely to information collected by this website. It will notify you of the following:

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you, and that you provide at time of a new membership application, renewal or event registration. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone. CSWA does not itself collect or hold payment or credit card or banking information. Payment information is collected and managed by separate PCI DSS compliant (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) payment provider(s).

We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request or where it is specifically required to execute functions directly related to CSWA activities, benefits or programs; data shared will be limited only to data fields required. Personal data is for the delivery of membership activities, benefits and communications and to produce summary statistics of membership activity to monitor and adjust the activities and benefits we deliver.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about announcements, programs or services, or changes to this privacy policy.

Security

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
