This document explains GCPTA's policies for refunds and the collection, use and disclosure of personal information.

Refunds for the General Meeting registration fee will be given upon written request to the Executive Director at EXDIR@GCPTA.ORG

As an Internet merchant we are required to have a policy regarding all of the information that we collect.  GCPTA takes reasonable precautions to ensure your privacy on the terms contained in this policy.  GCPTA uses reasonable efforts to, but cannot totally prevent, unintended disclosures by such means as hackers and other unauthorized individuals, and inadvertent or illicit employee actions.

No information collected on the web site transaction form is used for any other reason than to fulfill the meeting registration.  This information is not sent to third parties or retained for mailing list purposes.  Elavon is acting as an intermediary between GCPTA and a user’s credit card company.  If a user has any questions or concerns about the privacy policies of those parties, it must contact such parties.

Your use of this site constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions.  If you do not agree with these policies, please cease using this site immediately.

Cardholder provided Information:
The electronic purchase service requires that cardholders provide contact information (including without limitation: name, address, city, state, postal code, country, telephone and email), and financial information (including without limitation: name on credit card, credit card number and expiry date), and ordering information.  This information is collected and used to process the transaction and for internal accounting and other procedures.  Following a transaction, we may contact cardholders by phone or email for security purposes.

Information Automatically Collected:
Our web site keeps track of usage data, such as the source address that a page request is coming from, your IP address or domain name, the date and time of the page request, the referring web site (if any) and other parameters in the URL.  The IP addresses we collect on our electronic purchase service are linked to personally identifiable information.  This is collected in order to combat fraud during the purchase process.  We also use this data to better understand Web site usage in the aggregate so that we know what areas of our web site users prefer.  Automatically collected information is also used for the same purposes as cardholder supplied information.

Security:
Elavon takes measures to protect and keep information secure. Their electronic purchase service is secured with SSL encryption.  Verisign has supplied them with digital certificates for our web sites.  All information collected by Elavon is held offline, secured via SSL encryption, and protected by a firewall.  Whenever sensitive information is transmitted to Elavon through our web site, such as a credit card number, their server provides 128-bit encryption of the information as it travels across the Internet.  Elavon restricts internal access to personal information to selected members of Elavon’s staff.
