support the activities of the Operators’s members and their
collaboration on the Operators’s standards and projects. When accessing
the Operators’s members-only web pages, your personal user information
may be tracked by the Operators in order to support collaboration,
ensure authorized access, and enable communication between members.
Credit card information may be collected to facilitate membership
applications; or if you purchase a product or service from our website,
such information will not be kept longer than necessary for providing
the services requested. Credit card numbers are used only for processing
payment and are not used for other purposes. Payment processing
services may be provided by a third-party payment service, and a
management company external to the Operators may provide support for the
financial activities of the Operators. the Operators may share your
personal information with its partners to facilitate these transactions.
Information Sharing
The Operators does not sell, rent, or lease any individual’s personal
information or lists of email addresses to anyone for marketing
purposes, and we take commercially reasonable steps to maintain the
security of this information. However, the Operators reserve the right
to supply any such information to any organization into which the
Operators may merge in the future or to which it may make any transfer
in order to enable a third party to continue part or all of its mission.
We also reserve the right to release personal information to protect
our systems or business, when we reasonably believe you to be in
violation of our Terms of Use or if we reasonably believe you to have
initiated or participated in any illegal activity. In addition, please
be aware that in certain circumstances, the Operators may be obligated
to release your personal information pursuant to judicial or other
government subpoenas, warrants, or other orders.
In keeping with our open process, the Operators may maintain publicly
accessible archives for the majority of our activities. For example,
posting an email to any of the Operators’s-hosted public mail lists or
discussion forums, subscribing to one of our newsletters or registering
for one of our public meetings may result in your email address becoming
part of the publicly accessible archives.
On some sites, anonymous users are allowed to post content and/or
participate in forum discussions. In such a case, since no user name can
be associated with such a user, the IP address number of a user is used
as an identifier. When posting content or messages to a Operators site
anonymously, your IP address may be revealed to the public.
If you are a registered member of an Operators’s website or email list,
you should be aware that some items of your personal information may be
visible to other members and to the public. The Operators’s member
databases may retain information about your name, e-mail address,
company affiliation (if an organizational member), and such other
personal address and identifying data as you choose to supply. That data
may be visible to other of the Operators’s members and to the public.
Your name, e-mail address, and other information you may supply also may
be associated in the Operators’s publicly accessible records with the
Operators’s various committees, working groups, and similar activities
that you join, in various places, including: (i) the permanently-posted
attendance and membership records of those activities; (ii) documents
generated by the activity, which may be permanently archived; and, (iii)
