Data that SLA collects is used only to help SLA better serve its members. It is SLA's policy to collect and store only personal information that its members and visitors knowingly provide. Information collected online is defined as being either anonymous or personally identifiable.
Anonymous information refers to data that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. SLA does not collect any personal information from users browsing its public website. Only aggregate data-such as the number of hits per page, browsers and platform types-is collected. Aggregate data is only used for internal and marketing purposes and does not provide any personally identifying information.
Personally, identifiable information refers to data that tells SLA specifically who the visitor is. To gain access to members-only resources and personalization features on the SLA website, members are asked to provide some limited information. This data is submitted voluntarily. SLA asks users to provide their name and member number for Login purposes, and to verify contact information for convention registration.
The database storing SLA membership contact information is a record that is held in trust. Its use for commercial or solicitation purposes is denied to all. Non-members will be denied requests for lists of members.

A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred from a website to the hard drive of a user's computer. This unique number identifies the user's web browser-but not the user-to SLA computers whenever the user visits the SLA website. A cookie will not provide personally identifiable information about users, such as their name and address. The use of cookies is now an industry standard and cookies are currently used on most major websites. Most web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If users prefer, they can reset their browser to notify them when they have received a cookie. They can also set their browser to refuse to accept cookies altogether. SLA uses cookies only to facilitate automated activity such as to store and track passwords. Cookies are not used to disseminate significant information about users over the Internet or to analyze any information that users have knowingly or unknowingly provided. SLA does not disclose credit card account information provided by its members. When members choose to use their credit cards, SLA submits the information needed to obtain payment to the appropriate clearinghouse.
