Our web servers automatically capture non-personally identifiable information including, but limited to, your domain name, the IP address of the web page from which you enter our site, the pages that you visit on our site, the click-through rates, and the amount of time that you spend here. However, the individual user will remain anonymous. We may use and analyze this data for trends and to improve our site.

Collection of Personally Identifiable Information

When you engage in activities such as registering for events or to order various NWGA publications, you may be required to submit personal information to NWGA. This information will include data such as your name, company name, address, phone number, fax number, and e-mail address. This information may be shared with other event attendees, event sponsors or third parties providing services to NWGA. If you choose not to provide the information that is requested by NWGA, you may continue to visit the site, but you may be unable to access certain offers, services or secure pages. NWGA will not provide any personally identifiable information to any other third parties without your consent. However, NWGA reserves the right to provide personally identifiable information to third parties if NWGA reasonably believes that this release of information is necessary: 1. to comply with legal requirements or legal process; 2. to protect and defend the rights or property of NWGA; or 3. to protect the other users of the site or the public.

Other Web Sites and Links

​

NWGA web site contains links to other web sites including third party service providers who may provide, among other things, membership application, event registration, online-survey, and publication sales services. If you choose to use any of these links, you will be leaving NWGA’s web site and going to a new web site. Protection of your privacy at these linked sites will be governed by the privacy policy at that site. You should take the time to read the privacy policies at these sites. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such sites or the use of any information that you provide. You are also subject to their terms and conditions and/or end user license agreements.

Although our site has industry standard security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information that is under our control, NWGA cannot guarantee complete security.

​

Credit Card Information

The NWGA does not directly collect credit card information that you provide when you make payments by credit card or electronic checks for dues, registration fees or other services, nor does the NWGA hold your information on file. Instead, we use a third-party, such as Stripe or Quick Books. These institutions take privacy seriously and are responsible for the information you provide.
