Privacy Statement for the CIBERweb Portal
The CIBERweb Portal has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this web site: CIBERweb.msu.edu
Collection and Use of Personal Information
As part of the membership process, we require users to provide us with contact information (name, email address, mailing address, phone and fax number). The membership form also includes several optional fields that related to the member's areas of interest and current affiliations.
The contact information collected is used by the CIBERweb Portal in relation to servicing the user's membership; such as, sending them various publications that are part of the membership benefits, important announcements in regards to CIBERweb Portal activities, chapter activities, and renewal reminders. The customer's contact information is also used to contact the visitor personally if necessary, again in regards to servicing the user's account.
The contact information and the optional fields are also made available in an online directory, which is a membership benefit for networking purposes only; the directory is only accessible to the current members of the CIBERweb Portal.
From time to time, limited member contact information is also made available to select third-parties who offer products and services in relation to the academic profession. The limited contact information provided to such parties only includes names and mailing addresses; it does NOT include phone numbers, fax numbers or email addresses. The information is provided to these select third parties for only a single use and the third party is required to provide a copy of their mailing to the CIBERweb Portal to ensure its relevancy to our members. Members have the option of opting out from receiving future mailings from these third parties; please see the choice/opt-out section below.
