Information Collected

There are two types of data that may be collected at any time through use of the Local 396 website or other means related to communications with Local 396. These are Personal Data and Usage Data.

Personal Data is data that identifies an individual either directly or indirectly and may include: name, physical address, email address, phone number, fax number, social security number, tax identification information, earnings, and any other information that may be used to verify your identity. When you submit Personal Data to Local 396 you are consenting to the collection, use, and disclosure of such information for the purposes outlined in this Policy.

Usage Data is information collected regarding your use of the site but is not used to personally identify you. This type of data may include IP address, browser type, which pages on the Local 396 site you visited, the time and date you accessed pages on the website, the state or country from which you access our services, and any other information related to your interaction with our website.

Use of Information Collected

Local 396 uses your Personal Data to communicate with you, respond to requests you submit, ensure the smooth and effective administration of training, and aggregate results from training.

Personal Data may be shared in response to: court orders, subpoenas, other legal processes, to defend against legal claims, or as otherwise required by law.

It is Local 396’s policy not to sell any Personal Data. Local 396 only provides Personal Data to any third party when required by law, regulation, or under court order.

Local 396 uses your Usage Data for internal purposes to optimize the website by improving the content and features available. Understanding how Local 396 website users interact with the site will help us to create a better user experience.

California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) Requirement

Several internet browsers provide a Do Not Track feature which when enabled allows internet users to keep their Usage Data private. Even if the Do Not Track feature is activated on your browser, Local 396 may still collect Usage Data browser through the use of cookies or other technologies on the website. At this time, we do not respond to Do Not Track browser settings. Under CalOPPA, you have the right to know what types of data is collected about you and what information is shared with third parties. You may request to review and delete personally identifiable information. We do not sell Personal Data to third parties.

As a result, while Local 396 strives to protect your Personal Data, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us or from us, and you do so at your own risk.

In addition, while Local 396 takes commercially reasonable steps to govern our Service Providers' use and protection of your Personal Data, we ultimately have no control over and are not responsible for the privacy practices of such parties.
