Privacy Policy

SEIU Local 73 strongly believes in the importance of your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how SEIU Local 73 treats the personal information we collect through the SEIU Local 73 website (the “Website”) and what we do with that information. By using or accessing the Website, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Statement applies only to information collected online through the Website and does not describe the ways in which we may collect or use information obtained offline or through any means other than our website or other entity. We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time.

How, When, and Why We Collect Information

  • What we collect about you when browsing our website. You can view content on the Website without registering or providing any personal information. When you enter the Website via a computer, tablet, application, mobile phone, or other internet portal, we use a variety of tracking tools to collect information such as your browser and operating system type and IP address to optimize your experience on the Website, comply with applicable laws, and to track aggregate Website usage. The information sent to us through the Website includes, but is not limited to, the following: data about the pages you access, computer IP address, device ID or unique identifier, device type, geo-location information, computer and connection information, mobile network information, statistics on page views, traffic to and from the sites, referral URL, ad data, and standard web log data and other information. We also collect anonymous information through our use of cookies and web beacons, and other similar technology.
  • Initiation of Contact by Us. We may use any information you provide to us to contact you.
  • Activity Requiring Registration. Certain activities on the Website require you to register. To become a registered user, we ask you to provide your name, email address, postal code, occupation and employer. If you decide to register, we use a persistent cookie that stores certain information to make it easier for you to login when you come back to the Website. However, none of your personal information is stored in that cookie. Furthermore, SEIU Local 73 has no access to any payment or financial information provided through this Website.
  • Usage Information. We may record information about your usage of the Website, such as when you use the site, the areas of the site you click on and/or participate in, the tags you search for, and whether or not you subscribe to the RSS feed. A persistent cookie may be used to track this information, but will not track financial information entered. We may use pixel tags and/or trackable links in HTML-based emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened and/or clicked on by recipients. Furthermore, if you choose to provide us with access to certain personal information stored by third parties such as social media sites (e.g., Facebook and Twitter), then you must know that the information we receive varies by site and is controlled by that site. By associating an account managed by a third party with usage of the Website you are authorizing SEIU Local 73 to have access to this information, and you agree that SEIU Local 73 may collect, store and use this information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
  • Polls and Surveys. From time to time, we may conduct polls and surveys. Information collected through our polls, surveys, and questionnaires is used in the aggregate, unless we contact you to request permission to use your individual responses for a particular purpose.
  • We do not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13.

Uses of Personal Information

  • The personal information that SEIU Local 73 collects on the Website helps us to efficiently and effectively represent our members, to pursue our advocacy agenda, and to provide valuable member benefits.
  • In order to advance these goals and activities, we may share the personal information that we collect about you with our International Union and other SEIU-related organizations, as well as third parties that perform services on our behalf. Additionally, subject to applicable law, we may share any of the personal information that we collect about you with certain third parties that share our interests. We will not share any financial information you have entered into this website unless legally required to do so.
  • We will use your email address to communicate with you about SEIU Local 73’s activities and offerings, unless you opt-out from receiving such messages. We will also use your email address for administrative purposes, such as notifying you of major Website changes, sending messages related to actions you have taken on the site or for customer service purposes. Although we hope you’ll find these communications informative and useful, if you don’t, you can always unsubscribe by following the simple instructions included in each email.
  • When you send email or other communications to us, we may retain those communications in order to process your inquiries, respond to your requests and improve our services.
  • We use both your personally identifying information and certain non-personally-identifying information (such as anonymous usage data, IP addresses, browser type, clickstream data, etc.) to improve the quality of your user experience and the design of the Website and to create new features, functionality, and services by storing, tracking, and analyzing user behavior, preferences, trends, and actions.

Other Disclosures

We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. If we receive a subpoena requesting information about you and if you have provided us with your email address, we will attempt to notify you of the subpoena at the email address that you have provided. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with the law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the Website or using the SEIU Local 73 name, to prevent bodily harm, to enforce our User Agreement, or to protect the rights, property or safety of visitors to our site, our members, the public or SEIU Local 73. In the unlikely event that SEIU Local 73 (or substantially all of its assets) is merged with another entity, information on our visitors would be among the transferred assets. Furthermore, SEIU Local 73 may offer the ability for users to connect with the Website using a mobile device, either through a mobile application or via a mobile optimized website. The provisions of this Privacy Policy apply to all such mobile access and use of mobile devices. When you download or use our mobile applications, or access one of our mobile optimized sites, we may receive information about your location and your mobile device, including a unique identifier for your device. We may use this information to provide you with location-based services, such as advertising, search results, and other personalized content. Most mobile devices allow you to control or disable location services in the device’s settings menu. If you have questions about how to disable your device’s location services, we recommend you contact your mobile service carrier or the manufacture of your particular device.
