- Privacy/personally identifiable information policies
As Robert Heinlein valued his privacy, so do we respect yours. We will not sell or otherwise give your name or information to any third party without your permission. We use reputable payment processors and widely-used website backends to ensure any IT security or vulnerability issues are addressed timely.
We collect information mostly used to stay in touch with you. For members that means your name, email address, physical mailing address, and phone number. We also store your indicated volunteering interests and your membership status, join dates, and renewal dates.
We will contact you with our periodic newsletter, for notices of meetings and to allow you to securely vote electronically for board membership and for any issues that are brought to the membership for a formal vote.
If you contact us with a request to delete your information, we will delete all of your information, except as necessary with any explicit business transactions to keep any accounting information as bound by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
As a non-profit organization with income below thresholds, we are not bound by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
