The Riley County Democratic Party respects the privacy of its members and subscribers to its newsletter, website, and is committed to protecting personal information. This Privacy Policy describes how we protect information collected from members and what we do with it. The Policy may be amended from time to time by means of a notice posted on this website. Except as stated in this Policy or as may be legally required, we will not release the personal information you provide to us.

Information We Collect From You

Specific contact information for Riley County Democratic Party membership (such as postal and email address, phone and fax number) is not published or otherwise made generally available; it is only used for Riley County Democratic Party purposes. The membership list as such is never sold, rented, or otherwise provided to third parties. Riley County Democratic Party members may from time to time receive printed or email promotions from the Riley County Democratic Party as part of a particular customer list – that is, by virtue of having previously ordered an Riley County Democratic Party subscription, product, or service.

Email Addresses

In order to serve you well and expeditiously, the Riley County Democratic Party asks for the email address of members and newsletter subscribers. We use email addresses for important communications to members about party activities, projects, and meetings. Email is also used to confirm (and in some cases to deliver) an individual order, to communicate with a select group of members about a particular committee project, or to contact a customer about a problem with an order or other matter. We also from time to time use the email addresses we collect to inform our members and customers of products and services that may be of interest to them. The Riley County Democratic Party does not sell, rent, or otherwise provide email address lists to third parties.

Telephone and Fax Numbers

The Riley County Democratic Party may request your telephone and fax numbers so that we can communicate with you via those media about your order, payment, registration, or ticket purchase for an product or event. The Riley County Democratic Party does not sell, rent, or otherwise provide telephone or fax number lists to third parties.

Postal Addresses

We collect postal address information from you so that we can communicate with you by mail regarding Riley County Democratic Party matters, deliver to your door any tangible products you order from us, and send you printed brochures and information about party events, products, and services in which you may be interested. The Riley County Democratic Party does not make its general membership postal address list available to third parties.

Credit Card Information

The Riley County Democratic Party must request your credit card information if you wish to use a credit card to pay for membership and subscription. The Riley County Democratic Party maintains a separate capability for registering and paying for conference participation online. We use the information for the purpose you authorize and nothing more. Your credit card information is revealed only on a need-to-know basis to complete your requested transaction. See "Security" below for information about the security of credit card information provided to us online.

General website usage information – We gather, for internal purposes and in aggregate form only, some general information about the use of our website. We use web server logs and industry-standard website statistics software to, for example, monitor the number and geographical sources of visits to the site and to count "hits" on particular pages on the site. The information helps us improve the design and utility of the site for the benefit of users of the site.

Links – This website contains links to other websites. The Riley County Democratic Party is not responsible for the content of those third-party sites or for their privacy policies and practices.

Security – Online credit card payments through this site are made via the industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL encryption (scrambling) is used to insure the security of your online transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet. To use this option you must have a browser that supports SSL (e.g.Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Communicator)

If your browser does not support SSL or you are unable to establish a secure connection due to a company firewall, please call the number 785-770-3987 to place your order over the phone, or call the Riley County Democratic Party to register for a conference or other event at 785-770-3987.
