GRA Privacy Policy

We respect and are committed to protecting your privacy. Thus, the GRA has adopted this Privacy Policy to inform you how your personal information is processed and used. The following policies apply to the GRA including any mailing lists owned and operated by the GRA. We do not disclose this information for other purposes. Please read below for a detailed description of our privacy policy.

What information does the GRA collect and how do we collect it?

Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers, which serve as that computer's "Internet Protocol" (IP address). When a visitor requests a page from any website within the GRA website, our web servers automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. We use this information to examine our traffic in aggregate, and to investigate misuse of our network or to cooperate with law enforcement. We do not collect and evaluate this information for specific individuals. Our web servers do not record email addresses of visitors.

What are cookies?

From time to time, the GRA may send a "cookie " to your computer. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your Internet browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie cannot read data from your computer hard drive or read cookie files created by other websites nor can cookies do damage to your computer system. We use cookies to identify which areas of the GRA network you have visited or customized, so that the next time you visit, those pages may be readily accessible. You can choose whether to accept cookies by changing the settings of your Internet browser. You can also reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or allow your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent. However, if you choose not to accept these cookies, your experience at our site and other websites could be diminished and some features may not work as intended.

How does the GRA protect my privacy?

When you are on the GRA website and are asked for information, you are sharing that information with the GRA alone. The GRA will not disclose any of your identifiable information except when we are required to do so by law. The GRA also does not share email addresses or information you provide to us with others.

What other information do we request?

We may also request your email address or mailing address for the purposes of conducting a survey or to provide additional services (for example, announcements or special events). Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information is requested. We maintain a strict "No-Spam" policy that means that we do not sell, rent, or otherwise give your email address to a third party. When you sign up for a GRA program or special Member Area, your name or alias is recorded solely for purposes of maintaining our database of users.
