Privacy Policy

Your privacy on the Internet is important to us at USAgainstAlzheimer's and USAgainstAlzheimer's PAC (collectively, "USAA"). As part of the operation and customization features of our Website, we gather certain types of information from users, and we would like to explain the types of information we gather, what we do with them, and how to correct or change the information. This Policy does not apply to any other data collected by us offline.

Please read this Policy carefully because by accessing and using our Website you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this Policy, please do not use our Website.

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") applies only to the website located at http://www.usagainstalzheimers.org  (the "Website"). As used in this Privacy Policy, "you" or "your" refers to users of the Website and "we" or "us" refers to USAA. This Policy is incorporated by reference into USAA's Terms of Use.

Children under 13 - The Website is not intended for use by persons under the age of 13. We will not knowingly collect information from visitors under the age of 13 and, in the event that we learn that a person under the age of 13 has provided us with personally identifiable information, we will delete such personally identifiable information in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998. By submitting information to the Website, you have indicated that you are at least 13 years old.

What We Collect - USAA collects two types of information from users: (1) personal data, such as zip code, email address, and demographic information [INSERT ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, such as mailing address, etc.]; and (2) aggregated data, such as information about traffic patterns (for example, how many users log on a daily basis). USAA may collect and maintain personal information from you when you visit our Website, when you request information from USAA through the Website, when you donate to USAA through the Website, and when you register on the Website.
Aggregated information, such as which pages users visit, is collected through various means. When you visit the Website, USAA may collect and record information on our server logs from your browser, including your IP Address, cookie information, and/or the web page(s) you visit. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you request a page our servers log your IP address. USAA does not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, so although your session will be logged, your session will remain anonymous to us.

How We Use Your Information and What We Share - Your information is used to improve the content of the Website, to customize the content and/or layout of the Website for each visitor, and if requested, to provide information or services requested by visitors through our Website.

It is not our policy to rent, sell, or share your personal information with nonaffiliated third parties except to provide products or services you have requested or when USAA has your permission. We generally restrict access to nonpublic personal information to USAA and its employees and vendors with a business reason to know this information, such as to provide you with services you have requested. USAA does not sell mailing lists (names and mailing addresses) or e-mail addresses to third parties.

If you choose to make a donation by credit card through the Website, USAA will collect your credit card information. USAA only uses this information to process your transaction and does not retain any credit card information once the donation is processed.

USAA may be required by court order, law enforcement, or judicial authorities to provide information on individual users of this Website to the appropriate governmental authorities. In matters involving a danger to personal or public safety, illegal activities, or suspected fraud, USAA may voluntarily provide information to appropriate governmental authorities, when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.
USAA reserves the right to transfer personal information we have collected about you if USAA is acquired by or merged with another organization, in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of USAA's assets, or in the unlikely event of a bankruptcy.

USAA may also use your personal information to customize the advertising and content you may see on the Website and improve our products and services.
In the event that USAA announces voluntary promotional programs, such as sweepstakes and contests, participation in these promotions may require you to share personal information with USAA. This information may be shared with external third parties for the purpose of the administration, operation, or fulfillment of the promotion. Subscribers who do not wish this information to be disclosed to third parties may decline participation in these optional promotions.

USAA reserves the right to share certain aggregated data with our internal and external clients or service providers in aggregate form for auditing, marketing and other purposes. Because aggregated data is not associated with any particular person, the third parties with whom we share this information will not have access to your personal information.

USAA may also analyze IP addresses of visitors to the Website in the aggregate for purposes including system administration and the gathering of broad demographic information.

Use of Cookies and Other Technologies - USAA may use cookies and other technologies, such as pixel tags, web beacons, flash cookies, and clear gifs, to personalize the Website to your interests. A cookie is a text file placed on your hard disk by a web page server that is uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie. USAA uses cookies to automate the process of logging on to certain areas of the Website. A cookie is a small data file stored on your computer that contains a single, randomly assigned user ID number. By recognizing this ID number, we can automatically provide you with the personalized content for which you requested. Cookies can neither read any other files on your computer, nor damage your computer. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you'd prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. To disable or delete flash cookies, you should review website browser's settings management. Although USAA does not currently display advertising on the Website, at some point in the future, we may allow advertisers on the Website to set and access cookies on your computer. Use of cookies by advertisers on the Website is subject to the privacy policies of those advertisers and is not covered by this Policy. If you are not comfortable with the use of cookies on your computer, you may set your computer preferences to accept or decline cookies. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience all features of the Website.

USAA may use web beacons to access cookies in connection with your use of the Website or any e-mail correspondence we may send you. A web beacon is an electronic file stored in a web page that allows us to count visitors to our Website and to recognize users by accessing cookies which help us personalize your experience when you visit the Website. USAA may also use web beacons to conduct research on behalf of our partners and for auditing purposes.

Security - USAA takes reasonable security measures to protect user information under our control against loss, misuse, or alteration. Except as otherwise stated in this Policy, access to your personal information is limited to only those employees and third parties with a specific need to retrieve this information. Independent contractors and outside companies who perform work for us are required to adhere to strict privacy standards through their contracts with us.

The Website may contain links to other Website. Please be aware that USAA is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third party Website. USAA encourages users to be aware when they leave our Website and to read the privacy statements of other Website you visit. This Policy applies solely to information collected by our Website.
International Transfer of Information - If you are visiting from the European Union or other regions outside of the United States, please note that the United States may not have the same data protection laws as your country of residence.
