Collection and Use of Information
Members are asked to provide certain information when they sign up for our Services such as name, address, telephone number, billing information (such as a credit card number), and the type of personal computer being used to access the Services. The personal information collected from Members during the registration process is used to manage each Member’s account (such as billing and collections).

Benjamin Harrison Society uses this data to provide product and service offers. We use data in aggregate to develop products and offers to better serve its Members.

Affiliates will not be allowed to use any information provided in serving our customers to be sold, rented, or given to any other company. Affiliates are not allowed to use Benjamin Harrison Society data for any other purpose other than Benjamin Harrison Society approved programs designed to better serve Members.
In instances where Benjamin Harrison Society and an affiliate jointly promote the Services, Benjamin Harrison Society may provide the affiliate certain personal information, as a result of the joint promotion.

Online Advertisements
Benjamin Harrison Society may share aggregated and non-identifying information about our Visitors and Members collected through the registration process as well as through online surveys and promotions with select advertisers. In some instances, we use this information to deliver tailored advertisements. Based upon the information we have collected, we may then display advertisements to specific audiences. Benjamin Harrison Society does not share personal information about its Members with these advertisers.
Voluntary Surveys
We may periodically conduct both business and individual surveys. We encourage Members to participate in these voluntary surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us to improve the types of services we offer and how we provide them to you. Your personal information and responses will remain confidential, even if the survey is conducted by a third-party.
We take the information we receive from individuals responding to our surveys and combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of other Members to create broader, generic responses to the survey questions (such as gender, age, residence, hobbies, education, employment, industry sector, or other demographic information). We then use the aggregated information to improve the quality of our services to you, and to develop new services and products. This aggregated, non-personally identifying information may be shared with third-party affiliates.
Special Cases
It is Benjamin Harrison Society’s policy not to use or share the personal information in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. However, Benjamin Harrison Society may disclose personal information or information regarding use of the Services if, for any reason, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is reasonable to do so, including: to satisfy laws, regulations or other legal requests for such information; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Acceptable Use Policy or other policies; to operate the Services properly; or to protect Benjamin Harrison Society, our Services, our employees or our Members.

Protecting children’s privacy is especially important to us. It is our policy to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and other applicable laws. Benjamin Harrison Society does not attempt to ask or collect information from any person under the age of 18.
