  1. a) Site Use Information

SMC collects technical information relating to each time a visitor comes to a SMC Website, including IP address, browser type and version, time zone settings, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform type (e.g. Internet Explorer browser on a Windows platform).

We may also collect information about your visit, including pages you viewed or searched for, page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), methods used to browse away from the page, and any phone number used to call our customer service number.

Gathering this technical information helps us to learn what browsers we need to support and helps us determine what sections of SMC Websites are most popular and how many visitors come to our site(s). You do not have to register with SMC Websites before we can collect this information.

  1. b) Information You Give Us

You may provide personal information to us which may include your name, home and/or work email address, postal address, phone number and/or fax number, your employer and job title, demographic information about you including birth year, certification designation, etc., and if you are making a purchase, your credit card information. You are only required to provide such information if you want to take advantage of optional products and services provided through SMC Websites.

SMC collects personal information in the following ways from different parts of the SMC websites:

  • SMC Membership Applications: You are sharing personal information with us when you join SMC or renew your SMC membership through the SMC Websites. SMC members will have SMC membership log-in credentials which enable members to take advantage of restricted content and features on SMC Websites.
  • Other Registration: When registering for specific services we may ask for the same type of personal information. For example, if you subscribe to an e-mail newsletter, we will ask you to provide your e-mail address.
  • Online Purchases: When you make a purchase using the SMCStore or when you subscribe to an SMC publication through the SMC websites we may also ask for the same type of personal information. The number and variety of useful services on SMC Websites that may require the collection of personal information about you will continue to grow in the future.

2. What are “cookies” and how does SMC use them?
A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred from a website to the hard drive of your computer. This unique number identifies your web browser to SMC computers whenever you visit SMC Websites.

The use of cookies is an industry standard, and cookies are currently used on most major websites. Most web browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can reset your browser to notify you when you have received a cookie. You can also set your browser to refuse to accept cookies altogether.

While SMC does not require you to use cookies, keep in mind that certain services will not function properly if you set your browser to refuse all cookies. To help serve you better, SMC generally uses cookies to:

  • Identify return visitors. Cookies let us remember your web browser so we can provide personalized member services such as My SMC and SMC search agents. Cookies also allow us to identify SMC members who are returning to the site.
  • Display advertisements. SMC uses an outside ad company to display SMC-approved ads on our website and other websites. While we use cookies on other parts of our website(s), the cookies received with banner ads are collected by our ad company. These cookies allow SMC to manage the delivery of ads.

For more information about how we use cookies on the SMC Websites, please see our cookie policy.

Personal information collected through SMC Websites is generally collected and maintained solely by SMC or its contracted vendors.

When you provide personal information about you on SMC Websites to register for a service, buy a product, or take advantage of promotion SMC reserves the right to sell or otherwise provide to selected third parties, mailing/information lists derived from such registrations.
    If you wish to opt out of such list sales/distribution at any time, you may do so by following the directions in Item 6 below. We will not share personal information relating to individuals based in the EU unless you have provided your opt-in consent. Information provided when joining or renewing membership in SMC. If you join SMC or renew your membership through the SMC Websites, you provide personal information about you on the membership application. SMC reserves the right to sell or otherwise provide mailing/information lists concerning members to selected third-parties.

If you wish to opt out of such list sales/distributions at any time during your SMC membership, you may do so by following the directions in Item 6 below. We will not share personal information relating to individuals based in the EU unless you have provided your opt-in consent.

 SMC does not sell to third-parties, e-mail addresses obtained from member applications or renewals (except that SMC will rent a member e-mail address if that member has expressly opted in to allow such rentals).

Sensitive Personal Information. SMC does not share with third parties, sensitive personal information such as passcodes, social security numbers, credit card numbers, felony conviction information, or health information except as necessary to complete transactions requested by you and under strict confidentiality and security protections; nor does SMC publish such sensitive personal information.

  1. b) Site Use Information
    We disclose to third-party sponsors/advertisers aggregate statistics (i.e., impressions and click-throughs on a company’s advertisement).

In addition, we may share aggregate website statistics with the media or other third parties. We do not disclose personal information to these sponsors/advertisers or other third parties as part of this process, only information in an aggregate form.

4. How do we use the information we collect?
We use your personal information according to the terms of the Privacy Policy in effect at the time of our use. We will only process your personal information, including sharing it with third parties, where (1) you have provided your consent which can be withdrawn at any time, (2) the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party (including your membership agreement with us), (3) we are required by law, (4) processing is required to protect your vital interests or those of another person, or (5) processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate commercial interests, provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests

We use personal information for the following purposes:

  1. a) Information You Give Us
    We use the personal information you give us: to carry out our obligations arising from your membership and any other agreement entered into between you and us; to update and renew your membership as required ; to provide you with the information, products and services you request from us; to arrange and deliver conferences, events and programming relevant to your job and subjects of interest; to respond to your questions and provide related membership or customer services; to improve the SMC Websites; to send you SMC publications, information about member benefits and special offers, and other information that SMC believes is relevant and useful to its members, where you have not opted out of receiving such information ; to send you third party information that SMC believes is relevant and useful to you, where you have given your consent; to notify you about changes to your membership or related services or to ask you to provide feedback ; to enable you to partake in a prize draw, competition or complete a survey; to administer and protect our business and websites (including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, system maintenance, support, reporting and hosting of data); to comply with all applicable laws or legal processes, including providing information on individual users to the appropriate governmental authorities where required by law enforcement or judicial authorities

  • in some cases, members may receive products or services, which are paid for by their government employer, and as a result of payment by the government employer, the record must be open for public access pursuant to applicable law, and SMC will share such information pursuant to those laws

3.) b) Site Use Information

As mentioned above, SMC uses the aggregate, anonymous data collected to let our sponsors/advertisers know the number of impressions or views and the number of “click-throughs” on their advertisement(s).

SMC also uses this aggregate, anonymous data to perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of visitors to SMC Websites; to measure user interests regarding specific areas of SMC Websites, and to analyze how and where best to use our resources.

Without such data, we would not know which parts of SMC Websites are the most popular, and we would not be able to change and update the content and services appropriately.

  1. c) Exceptions

On occasion, SMC collects personal information through SMC  Websites with the intent to afford a greater degree of privacy for such information that is otherwise set forth in this privacy policy.

In those relatively rare situations where SMC does so it will clearly disclose to you at the time it collects such information, what degree of privacy will be afforded to the personal information collected at such time; and SMC will follow a process to assure that the specifically disclosed degree of privacy is in fact afforded to such information.

For example, SMC may collect survey information through a survey where SMC’s use of any personal information from that survey is more limited than the general SMC Privacy Statement would otherwise allow; in such a case, SMC will disclose the stricter privacy policy governing that survey information at the time such personal information is collected from the survey respondent.

9. What kinds of security procedures are in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of your information?
SMC Websites have security measures equal to or better than those reasonably expected in the industry, such as firewalls, in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your personal information under our control. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will not occur, we take reasonable precautions to prevent such unfortunate occurrences. Certain particularly sensitive information, such as your credit card number, collected for a commercial transaction is encrypted prior to transmission.

You are ultimately responsible for the security of your SMC login credentials. You may not share your SMC login credentials with colleagues or friends so they can access content or features that are restricted to SMC members only. You should log out of your browser at the end of each computer session to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence, especially if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.

10. How do SMC Websites use bulletin boards, discussion lists, and moderated chats?
SMC Websites make bulletin boards, discussion lists, and moderated chats available to its members. Any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information, and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information. Although users may post messages that will appear on the message boards anonymously, SMC does retain a record of who posts all notes.

If you submit personal information to SMC through any channel other than SMC Websites, the same privacy rules set forth at Part I above for SMC Websites will be applied to such personal information you submit through channels other than SMC Websites (including without limitation your opt-out rights at Part I, Section 6 above), except as follows:

  1. The “cookies” and other tracking devices used by SMC Websites and described in Part I above do not apply to personal information gathered through channels other than SMC Websites.
  2. Hardcopy personal information provided to SMC which is not converted to electronic media and hosted by SMC will be subject to different security procedures than will stored electronic personal information. SMC has security measures equal to or better than those reasonably expected in the industry, in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of your hardcopy personal information under our control.
  3. When SMC collects personal information through channels other than SMC Websites it may in some instances apply a different privacy policy to such information, but where it does so it shall conspicuously disclose to you at the time of collection what privacy policy will apply to such information. For example, SMC may collect survey information through a survey where SMC’s use of any personal information from that survey is more limited than the general SMC Privacy Statement would otherwise allow; in such a case SMC will disclose the stricter privacy policy governing that survey information at the time such personal information is collected from the survey respondent.
