Privacy Policy

Sage-ing® International (Sage-ing® International) places a high priority on protecting your privacy. This privacy policy was created in order to demonstrate Sage-ing® International’s firm commitment to the privacy of our members and website users. This policy explains what types of information are collected by the Sage-ing® International website, www.sage-ing.org, and how this information is used.

What Personally Identifiable Information is Collected
Sage-ing® International members that register for www.sage-ing.org and individuals that sign up to receive communications voluntarily provide us with contact information (such as name and e-mail address). We may use this information for specific, limited purposes. You may always “opt out,” either now or at any time in the future, if you do not wish to receive our messages.

IP Addresses
Sage-ing® International uses your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer www.sage-ing.org, and for statistical metrics used to track website visitor traffic.

Cookies
www.sage-ing.org uses “cookie” messages to automatically help provide better services. They remind us who you are and your preferences for our website based on what you’ve done and told us before. The “cookie” is placed on your computer and is read when you return to our website. Cookies let us take you to the information and features you’re particularly interested in. They also let us track your usage of www.sage-ing.org so we know which parts of our site are most popular. You can reject cookies or remove them by adjusting your web browser settings.

How Your Information May Be Used
We use your personal information to provide you with personalized service; to send e-mail alerts; to answer your requests; to process your membership application; and to improve our services. You may choose to opt out at any time, which will cease all communications from us. We may also use your information to track usage of our website. This allows us to see which features are the most popular so we can better serve our users’ needs. It also allows us to provide aggregate data about our traffic (not identifying you personally) to outside parties.

Email Privacy
Sage-ing® International does not provide, sell, or rent email addresses to anyone outside the organization.

External Links
www.sage-ing.org includes links to external websites. These links do not fall under the www.sage-ing.org domain, and Sage-ing® International is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of external websites. Your use of any linked website is solely at your own risk.
