Privacy Policy
ABMA respects your privacy. We will not:
- Sell or distribute your name or e-mail address to any third party.
- Place any files or programs on your computer without your knowledge.
- Distribute membership information to you via e-mail if you elect to opt out of ABMA’s e-mail distribution list.
ABMA collects three types of information from its Web site:
- Your IP (Internet Protocol) address.
- Information voluntarily submitted for access to the Members Only section of our website on publication order forms, meeting registration forms or e-mails sent to the website administrator.
- Cookies, if the user so chooses.
Your IP address is only a temporary name by which a computer obtains access to the ABMA website. ABMA uses your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website’s quality. We do not use IP addresses to personally identify users. We use a log file of IP addresses to determine which areas of our site visitors like, based on the volume of traffic, and to better prepare future site content based on the number of hits on particular pages of the site. We do not track the usage patterns of individual users, but rather how well each page on our site performs overall.
Information voluntarily disclosed to ABMA either online or in writing through publication order forms, meeting registration forms, survey response forms, and relevant e-mails is added to the appropriate ABMA database to enable the processing of the order or registration or for the appropriate response. This information is usually the name, address, meeting attended or topic of interest. ABMA may distribute additional relevant information, based on interest, to individuals identified by information voluntarily submitted to ABMA.
You may opt out of receiving additional communications from ABMA by e-mailing info@americanbearings.org to have your name removed from our lists. Corrections or other changes may also be made by e-mailing info@americanbearings.org.
ABMA takes appropriate measures to ensure the reliability of member records and to protect them from loss, misuse or alteration.
