The National Fluid Power Association (NFPA) respects your privacy and wants to provide you with the most relevant information on the fluid power industry and NFPA’s products and services.

We want you to know how we use and protect the information you provide to us. The information below summarizes our policy and practices.

 

Mailing Lists

Information voluntarily disclosed to NFPA either online or in writing through order forms, meeting registration forms, survey response forms, and relevant e-mails is added to the NFPA membership database to enable the processing of the order or registration or for the appropriate response. This information is usually the name, address and item purchased, meeting attended or topic of interest.

We use that information to keep you informed about the event you’ve registered for or the product you’ve ordered; to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to check that our records are right and periodically monitor your satisfaction with NFPA. We don’t rent or trade email lists with other businesses.

We use third-party providers to deliver some of our email communications. We gather statistics around email opening and clicks using industry standards to help us monitor and improve our communications.

You may opt out of receiving additional communications from NFPA by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our email communications or by e-mailing membership@nfpa.com to have your name removed from our lists.

NFPA takes appropriate measures to ensure the privacy of member records and to protect them from loss, misuse or alteration.

 

Analytics

When someone visits NFPA’s websites we use third-party services, such as Google Analytics and HubSpot, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behavior patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to our website, which website pages are popular, etc. This information is only processed in a way that is anonymous. We do not make, and we do not allow third-party services to make, any attempt to find out the identities of those visiting our websites.

 

Cookies

Cookies are text files that contain information created by a Web server that can be stored on your hard disk for use either during a particular session or for future use. NFPA uses cookies only to facilitate automated activity, store and track passwords, and review navigation patterns. Cookies are not used to disseminate significant information about users over the Internet or to analyze any information that you have knowingly or unknowingly provided NFPA.

 

Credit Card Information

NFPA does not disclose any credit card account information provided by its members and customers. When members and customers choose to pay using their credit cards, NFPA submits the information needed to obtain payment to the appropriate clearinghouse. NFPA does not retain credit card numbers in either electronic or paper form.

 

How NFPA Uses Your Information

We use the information discussed above in a number of ways, such as:

• Processing purchase transactions, meeting registrations and donations
• Verifying your identity (such as when you log in to the member’s only sections of the website)
• Responding to your requests and communicating with you
• Managing your preferences
• Performing analytics concerning the quality of our services and products
• Providing you tailored marketing messages
• Complying with applicable legal requirements

For any other purpose that we will specifically disclose to you at the time you provide your information.

 

What NFPA Discloses to Others

We may share the information we collect from and about you within our organization and with certain vendors or partners that NFPA has a contractual relationship with. For example, we may share your information with:

• Credit card processors to process your payment, registration or donation
• Other organizations we work with to create our events and services

We hold all of our vendors to the same high level of data privacy standards that we have internally. We never sell your information to any organization, and all vendors of NFPA are required to hold your information confidential, and are not allowed to use your data for any non-NFPA purpose.

 

External Information

The NFPA website contains links to other websites. NFPA has no control over and is not responsible for the privacy policies or content of such sites. If we learn of inappropriate or illegal links, we will take appropriate action.

 

Updating Your Information & Contact Information

Keeping your account information up to date is very important. You are entitled to view, amend or delete your personal information we’ve collected at any time. Email your request to membership@nfpa.com.
