Security
When we ask a member to enter sensitive information (such as name,
e-mail address, Social Security number, or password), that information
is encrypted and protected.
Collection and Use of Information
LACERA collects personal information from a member at several different
points on this web site in order to enable access to its member database,
but no information is collected without a user's consent. LACERA
is the sole owner of any personal information collected and does not sell,
share, rent or otherwise distribute any of this information.
Sharing of Information
Any information supplied by our users is considered private and will
not be made available to others for any purpose.
E-mails
E-mail is not a secure platform. Information passed through
e-mail can be intercepted by third parties. For this reason, you
should not communicate personal information (e.g., account information)
via an e-mail.
Links to Other Web Sites
As a convenience for users, this web site contains links to other
web sites created and maintained by other public and private entities.
Please be aware that LACERA is not responsible for the material found
on any linked site or for the privacy practices of such other sites.
We encourage you to read the privacy statements of these linked sites
because their privacy policies may differ from ours.
Log Files
LACERA logs Internet Provider (IP) addresses and user browser types
for statistical and systems administration purposes only. These
logs are analyzed to determine user interest in the various areas of our
site, to identify system performance or problem areas, and to improve
the value of the materials available on the web site. We do not
link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means
that a user's session will be tracked, but the user will be anonymous.
Cookies
A "cookie" is a small amount of data sent by a web site server through
the Internet and transferred to your hard drive. It allows a web
site to monitor your use of the site, but cannot be executed as code or
deliver viruses. Most browsers are initially set to accept "cookies,"
but you can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie so
that you can decide whether or not to accept it. LACERA does not
enable "cookies" to collect information from users of its web site for
any purpose.
