When you visit the INDIANA AFL-CIO website, we automatically obtain information from you about the name of your Internet service provider, the browser and type of computer you are using, the website that referred you to us, the pages you request and the date and time of those requests. We use this information on an aggregate basis to generate statistics and measure site activity to improve the usefulness of the site to our visitors.

We do not collect or store personally identifiable information, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address or phone number, unless you provide that information.

The INDIANA AFL-CIO provides Web forms so you may provide your contact information to engage in INDIANA AFL-CIO activities such as online activism (i.e., contact Congress), to place orders for products or services, to correspond with the INDIANA AFL-CIO or to submit a testimonial (i.e., share your story). Any information we collect, such as your name, mailing address, e-mail address, type of request you are making and any additional information you provide, is collected and stored by the INDIANA AFL-CIO. The information is used to fulfill your request and track aggregate information about usage of these features. The INDIANA AFL-CIO makes every effort to ensure the secure collection and transmission of your sensitive information using industry accepted data collection and encryption methodologies, such as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).

The INDIANA AFL-CIO does not collect, use or distribute children's personally identifiable information to any third parties. If you have any reservations, questions or concerns about your child's access to this site or how information that your child provides is used by us, please contact us.

INDIANA AFL-CIO's Sharing of Personally Identifiable Information
The INDIANA AFL-CIO may exchange limited personally identifiable information (such as name and e-mail address) with partner organizations when people join as dues-paying members of an affiliate union of the INDIANA AFL-CIO or the Alliance for Retired Americans and become part of that organization's regular membership list.

The INDIANA AFL-CIO website will not post your personal contact information, including e-mail address, street address and phone numbers, without your consent. Without such consent, website staff will withhold posting personal contact information for that individual.
