WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA PRIVACY POLICY

The American Schools of Oriental Research (ÂÌñÒùÆÞ) is committed to providing a secure private environment for its website and social media users, customers, and friends to communicate and carry out transactions online. ÂÌñÒùÆÞ does not use illegal or misleading methods to mine public data. All data is obtained through normal business practices including, but not limited to, membership applications, online registrations, online purchases, event registrations, purchased lists, and trade shows. ÂÌñÒùÆÞ member data is occasionally shared with partner learned societies and other non­profits and is sometimes rented to external vendors for bulk solicitations only.

This page summarizes our current information gathering and dissemination practices.

Mailing Address Privacy

ÂÌñÒùÆÞ collects names, mailing addresses, telephone numbers, and other information (including demographic) to contact members, conduct business, and enhance services. ÂÌñÒùÆÞ occasionally rents mailing addresses to advertisers for one­-time use but does not release telephone numbers. ÂÌñÒùÆÞ maintains systems that guard against unauthorized or multiple uses of addresses.

Cookies

When a person visits our website or the ÂÌñÒùÆÞ Blog, a temporary cookie (or file) is used to aid navigation on our website, but the cookie is not used to collect information. ÂÌñÒùÆÞ does not use tracking cookies or third party cookies.

Credit Card Information

When purchasing a product or service online, users are asked to provide a credit card number to complete their transaction. ÂÌñÒùÆÞ does not store credit card information after the transaction is complete, however, it does maintain a reference number provided by its credit card gateway, PayPal. ÂÌñÒùÆÞ follows Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards for all online and paper sales, and this practice is accepted by PCI.

E­mail Address Privacy

E­mail addresses are used to correspond with individuals regarding ÂÌñÒùÆÞ and Membership information, to communicate with those who write for ÂÌñÒùÆÞ, attend our meetings or events, and with those who subscribe to ÂÌñÒùÆÞ journals and e­newsletter(s), which may be distributed through e­mail. You may opt out of e­mails by changing your profile in our e­mail software system, Informz. On occasion, ÂÌñÒùÆÞ may also send e­mails on behalf of publishers and other advertisers of interest to ÂÌñÒùÆÞ members. All such e­mails are marked as originating from ÂÌñÒùÆÞ. To opt out of receiving these e­mails, click the opt­out link on the bottom of the e­mail or contact ÂÌñÒùÆÞ Membership and Subscriber Services. ÂÌñÒùÆÞ occasionally rents e­mail lists, and it maintains systems that guard against unauthorized or multiple uses of e­mails in these instances.
