We keep your personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with any applicable legal or ethical reporting or document retention requirements. We will take appropriate steps to delete or permanently de-identify personal information at the point your personal information is no longer needed by us. You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of any passwords or other account information.

To process transactions. League uses personal information such as name, title, institution/company, physical address, telephone number, fax number, and email address, to engage in interactions with you, including contacting you about your order, subscription, event participation, or membership. We use financial/credit card and payment information to process your order and may need to share some of this information with delivery services, credit card clearing houses, and other third parties to complete the transaction.

To provide support or other services. League may use your personal information to provide you with support or other services that you have ordered or requested.

To provide online forums and social networks. Some services available on the websites permit you to participate in interactive discussions, post comments, opportunities, or other content to a bulletin board or exchange, or otherwise engage in networking activities. Some of these services are moderated; all may be accessed for technical reasons (for example, for improvements or fixes). League does not control the content that users post to these forums or social networks. You should carefully consider whether you wish to submit personal information to these forums or social networks and tailor any content you submit appropriately and in accordance with the relevant terms of use. You should also review any additional terms and conditions that may govern your use of these services, including terms related to sharing your personal information and receiving communications.

To administer products. League may contact you, if you purchase products, to confirm certain information about your order (for example, that you did not experience problems in the download process). We may also use this information to confirm compliance with licensing and other terms of use and may share it with your institution/company.

To select content, improve quality, and facilitate use of the websites. League may use your personal information, including the information gathered as a result of site navigation and electronic protocols and cookies (including third-party cookies), to help create and personalize website content, improve website quality, track marketing campaign responsiveness, evaluate page response rates, conduct usability testing, and facilitate your use of the websites (for example, to facilitate navigation and the login process, avoid duplicate data entry, enhance security, keep track of shopping cart additions, and preserve order information between sessions).

These third parties are carefully selected by League and obligated to keep your data secure. From time to time, we may also share your information with third parties whom we think might provide content, products, or services of interest to you. You have sole discretion whether to purchase or connect to any third parties, and your use is governed solely by the privacy policies of those third parties.

To protect League content and services. We may use your information to prevent potentially illegal activities and to enforce our terms and conditions. We also use a variety of technological systems to detect and address anomalous activity and to screen content to prevent abuse, such as spam. These efforts may, on occasion, result in a temporary or permanent suspension or termination of some functions for some users

To get feedback or input from you. In order to deliver products and services of most interest to our customers, from time to time, we may ask members, customers, volunteers, and website visitors to provide us input and feedback (for example through surveys, usability studies, focus groups).

To protect League information assets as well as your own personal data. The League Information Security Program protects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of League information assets by following a risk management approach based on policies, standards, guidelines, and procedures to meet security objectives while supporting association and operational goals.

TECHNICAL AND REGULATORY INFORMATION

League automatically records the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of visitors. The IP address is a unique number assigned to every computer on the Internet. Generally, an IP address changes each time you connect to the Internet (it is a "dynamic" address). Note, however, that if you have a broadband connection, depending on your individual circumstance, the IP address that we collect may contain information that could be deemed identifiable. This is because, with some broadband connections, your IP address doesn't change (it is "static") and could be associated with your personal computer.

As well as recording the IP addresses of users, League may also keep track of sites that users visited immediately prior to visiting League's website and the search terms they used to find it. We keep track of the pages visited on League's website, the amount of time spent on those pages and the types of searches done on them. Your searches remain confidential and anonymous. League uses this information only for statistical purposes to find out which pages users find most useful and to improve the website.

League also captures and stores information that you transmit. This may include:

  • Browser/Device type/version
  • Operating system used
  • Media Access Control (MAC) address
  • Date and time of the server request
  • Volume of data transferred

External links behavior

Some of League's websites link to other sites created and maintained by other public and/or private-sector organizations. League provides these links solely for your information and convenience. When you transfer to an outside website, you are leaving the League domain, and League's information management policies no longer apply. League encourages you to read the privacy statement of each external website that you visit before you provide any personal data. We are not responsible for the content of external Internet sites.

Cookies and web beacons

Cookies and web beacons are electronic placeholders that are placed on your device by websites to track your individual movements on that website over time. League uses both session-based cookies (which last only for the duration of the user's session) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device and provides information about the session you are in and waits for the next time you use that site again). These cookies and web beacons provide useful information to League, enabling us to recognize repeat users, facilitate the user's access to and use of our sites, allows us to track usage behavior, and to balance the usage of our websites on all League web servers. Tracking cookies, third-party cookies, and other technologies such as web beacons may be used to process additional information, enable non-core functionalities on the League website and enable third-party functions (such as a social media "share" link). We may also include web beacons and other similar technology in promotional email messages to determine whether the messages have been opened. 

Do Not Track (DNT)

The online advertising industry has self-regulatory initiatives designed to provide consumers a choice in the types of ads they may see online and to conveniently opt-out from online behavioral ads served by some or all of the companies participating in these programs. Our websites do not respond to DNT consumer browser settings.

Transfer of information to other countries 

As a global organization, League engages in international activities. In connection with the management of those activities, League may transfer information to other countries. By submitting your information to League via the websites, or in connection with your interactions with League offline, you consent to such transfers and to the processing of this information in other countries.

Collaboration with authorities

League has appointed and mandated a privacy officer who represents the regulatory authorities inside the League organization, and in return represents the League to regulatory authorities. The League privacy officer will ensure proper communication with the relevant regulatory authority for privacy. The privacy officer will lead investigative action, complaint handling and data breach notification. The privacy officer will also monitor regulatory changes and consult the regulatory authority where implementation of a regulatory or technological change leads to doubt. 

DOES THE LEAGUE COLLECT AND USE INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM CHILDREN?

League does not knowingly collect data from or about children under 13 without the permission of parent(s)/guardian(s). If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us and we will take steps to remove such information and terminate the child’s account as soon as possible.

RESPONSES TO LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUESTS

League reserves the right to share your information to respond to duly authorized information requests of governmental authorities, in situations involving threats to the physical safety of any person(s) or where required by law. In the event of bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction. The promises in this privacy policy will apply to your information as transferred to the new entity.

HOW CAN YOU CONTROL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

You can control the information we have about you and how we use it in several ways:

  • If you are a registered user, you can review, revise, and correct the personal data that you have provided to League via https://www.league.org, and after logging in, go to “My Account.”
