We can also be reached by e-mail at info@pad.org.  Phi Alpha Delta maintains this Site for Phi Alpha Delta  and the Phi Alpha Delta International Foundation. Our data collection and use policies with respect to the Site are set forth in this statement (“Policy”). By using this Site, you signify your acceptance of this Policy.

Information You Provide

There are a few activities on our site where the collection of personally identifiable information is necessary. Those activities include things like registering for P.A.D. online, making a purchase, or contacting us. When personally identifiable information is collected, you will know because you will have to fill out a form. For most activities, we collect only the most basic contact information.

What types of personally identifiable information does Phi Alpha Delta collect on the Site?

We collect various types of personally identifiable information from the visitors to the Site. For instance, P.A.D. members in good standing (dues are paid or life members) will be asked to provide their name and chapter name. Personally identifiable information may also be requested in connection with a survey or other activities on the Site.

All visitors who wish to purchase products (P.A.D. items) or make donations to the Foundation on the Site will also be asked to provide their address, telephone number, credit card information, and if receiving merchandise, their shipping and/or delivery (if different from the postal address) addresses.

Can I review or change information I have previously provided to P.A.D.?

Yes. If you want to review, correct, or change personal information that you have previously provided to us, please go to the My Profile section of the Site, and follow the appropriate instructions.

Information Collected from You with Technology

Phi Alpha Delta, Inc. collects some information about you using technology, so it may not be readily apparent to you that it is being collected. For instance, when you come to our site your IP address is collected so that we know where to send information you are requesting. An IP address is often associated with the place from which you enter the Internet like your ISP (Internet Service Provider), your company, or your university. This information is not personally identifiable. We don't combine this type of information with personally identifiable information.

What does P.A.D. do with information collected on the Site?

We will use personally identifiable information provided by members to fulfill the purpose for which such information was provided, as described in this Policy, and as disclosed at the time the visitor information is requested. For example, personal information will be used to fulfill online store orders. We may also use postal address information provided by P.A.D. members to send them, among other things, newsletters and other such mailings.

We use aggregate information collected on the Site to evaluate how the Site is being used. This information does not contain any information that may be personally identified with a specific individual. For example, we may collect and analyze information about how many visitors arrived at certain pages of the Site, how long they stayed on those pages, and where they went afterwards. This information allows us to determine which pages might be the most interesting to and popular with visitors and enables us to provide visitors with a better and richer experience on the Site.

Does Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, International share information with companies or other organizations?

We will not intentionally share your personally identifiable information with unaffiliated entities (i) except as described in this Policy or as disclosed at the time your personally identifiable information is provided, or (ii) without your consent. We do, however, share P.A.D. member personally identifiable information with our corporate sponsors on a very limited basis. Credit card information is never shared with any entity.

If you do not wish to get e-mails from P.A.D. headquarters, email info@pad.org.

We may also disclose personally identifiable information and aggregate information in order to (1) comply with applicable laws, (2) respond to governmental inquiries, (3) comply with valid legal process, and (4) protect the rights or property of P.A.D. In the event there is a change in the corporate structure of P.A.D. such as, but not limited to, merger, consolidation, sale, liquidation, or transfer of substantial assets, P.A.D. may, in its sole discretion, transfer, sell or assign information collected on and through this Site, including without limitation, personally identifiable information and aggregate information concerning visitors, to one or more affiliated or unaffiliated third parties.

Companies That Are Service Providers of Phi Alpha Delta.

Sometimes we hire companies to help us deliver products or services, like a shipping company that delivers a package. In those instances, we need to share your information with them. These companies are solely "Service Providers", and they are allowed to use the information only to deliver the product or service.

If I link to another Web site and provide information to that Web site, how will that information be handled?

This Site may contain links to other Web sites. If you link to another Web site, you will leave this Site and this Policy will not apply to your use of, and activities on, those other Web sites. We encourage you to read the legal notices posted on those other Web sites, including their privacy policies. We shall have no responsibility or liability for your visitation to, and the data collection and use practices of, those Web sites.

How does P.A.D. protect the information I provide to this Site?

We take reasonable precautions to safeguard information transmitted between visitors and the Site and information stored on our servers. We use Secured Socket Layers encryption for the transmission of data to our servers during member sign in and order check out. Despite these efforts, however, we may be unable to prevent and shall not be responsible for unauthorized access to such information by third parties.

Where will P.A.D. store and maintain information about me?

We maintain this Site in the United States. By providing personal and other information to this Site, visitors understand and consent to the collection and the processing of such information in, and the transfer of such information to, the United States and other countries or territories, in accordance with the terms of this Policy.

Can P.A.D. change this Policy?

Yes. We reserve the right to change this Policy in order to address future developments of P.A.D. or the Site or changes in industry or legal trends. Depending on the nature of the change, we will either announce the change (1) on the home page of the Site, (2) provide such notice via e-mail to Members who provide us with their e-mail address, or (3) take such other action as we deem appropriate under the circumstances.
