THETA CHI FRATERNITY, INC.
PRIVACY POLICY
Theta Chi Fraternity, Inc. takes the issue of safeguarding your privacy very seriously. We have created this Privacy Policy in order to better familiarize you with the information we collect from members and website visitors, and the way in which Theta Chi uses this information to better serve the needs of our guests.
What is personal information?
The term “Personal Information” refers to any information that can be used to identify you as an individual. It can include, among other things, your name, address, age, and gender.
How is personal information collected?
1) Initially upon contact with our website
When you visit our website, you are initially given a “cookie”, and your computer is assigned an ID number. A cookie is a commonly used device that tracks an individual user’s preferences, and is capable of enhancing your visit to the site. Cookies allow us to provide a customized experience without the visitor having to remind us of his or her preferences each time she or he visits our site. Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information. Theta Chi cookies also do not follow visitors when traveling on the internet after leaving the Theta Chi website.
We also use cookies to collect and maintain aggregate website data (such as the number of visitors to a particular site), which helps us see which areas are popular with our users and which are not. Among other things, this helps us improve and update the site, based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed.
If you do not want to accept cookies, you can block them by adjusting the settings on your internet browser. Visitors should understand, however, that rejecting cookies will affect your ability to benefit from the conveniences afforded by the use of cookies, and you will not be able to use certain customization features associated with creating a user profile.
Once you have visited our website and accepted our cookie, your ID number is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you visit our website. Despite the fact that you remain anonymous until you enter personal information in the website, the ID number allows us to log your session, so that we may better assist you should you need some individualized service or support. Once you enter personal information on the website, we associate your ID number with your contact information so we can recognize you on a future visit. We also use it to keep track of information that appears to be of particular interest to you.
2) While browsing our website
In the process of browsing our website, you also provide us with information that does not reveal your personal identity — information about our membership, for example. We use this aggregated, anonymous data mainly for editorial purposes but we do not connect it to any Personal Information, such as your name or address.
While you explore our website for the information that interests you, you may wish to put in a specific “Contact Us,” or you may wish to participate in one of our online surveys. To respond to this request or to participate in our various programs, we may ask you for Personal Information, such as your name, zip/postal code, e-mail address, and phone number.
In the event you choose to provide us with this information, we will only use it for the purpose we have specified to you. We will only email you if you want us to, and you can choose a number of alternate methods by which to receive a reply to a request. Your transmittal of your personal data shall constitute your acknowledgment and agreement to the terms and conditions contained in this Privacy Policy. If you are uncomfortable providing this information over the Internet, you can always call our International Headquarters for more details.
If you wish, you may also submit your email address in order to be placed on a subscription list or to receive other information. You will be placed on these lists only when you indicate your desire to be included. In deciding whether or not to join such lists, please note that they are only used for internal purposes — we do not sell or rent our lists to anyone — except for our periodic sharing with our approved Greek-licensed vendors for our collegiate brothers. In the event you choose to join one of our lists, you may ask to be removed from the list at any time. You also may let us know, at any time, that you want to opt of our sharing of your information with our Greek-licensed vendors. Visitors will always have the ability to accept or decline any form of communication from Theta Chi.
