What is Personally Identifiable Information?

PII is any information about an individual that is maintained by an organization. PII includes information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, such as name, social security number, date and place of birth, mother’s maiden name, or biometric records. It also includes any other information that is linked or linkable to an individual, such as medical, educational, financial and employment information.

PII Collection 

AGA does not collect PII from you unless you expressly volunteer the information. This includes instances when you:

  • Register for a meeting, become a member, register for certification, purchase or download an AGA product or service.
  • Request information (electronically) about AGA’s products and services, subscribe to newsletters, or enter a promotional contest.
  • Use or participate in various services or features made available on the website, including, for example and without limitation, blogs and other user communities.
  • Use various tools to select AGA products and services suitable for your website visit.
  • Request contact with an AGA representative.

PII Usage

AGA does not sell, rent, give away or loan any PII about its members and customers to any third party, other than organizations directly connected to AGA, including business partners. Organizations with access to PII are required to protect this information in a manner that is consistent with this privacy policy.

Among other things, we may use your PII to:

  • Respond to your requests and inquiries.
  • Provide you with services and features offered on or through the website.
  • Communicate timely information and special offers (such as in emails, mailings and the like) about products, services, companies and events, sponsored by us and others, that we think might interest you.

Credit Cards

If you register for a meeting or pay for products and services using a credit card, PII (such as your name and shipping address) and financial information (such as your credit card number and expiration date) may be required. This information may be used for billing purposes and to fill orders.

If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information may be used to get in touch with you. We also may share attendee registration information with exhibitors and sponsors of AGA conferences and similar events, which these exhibitors and sponsors may use to promote their products and services.
