Web Privacy Policy

National Association for States Community Services Programs (NASCSP) is committed to protecting individual privacy rights and securing the personal information made available to us when you visit www.nascsp.org, as well as NASCSP web pages on other sites (such as NASCSP profiles on social networks). This notice sets forth NASCSP’s policy regarding the nature, purpose, use and sharing of any information collected via this Website.

As a first principle, the information you provide on a NASCSP Website will be used only for its intended purpose. We will protect your information consistent with the requirements of the Privacy Act, the e-Government act of 2002, the Federal Records Act, and as applicable, the Freedom of Information Act.

Submitting information is strictly voluntary. By doing so, you are giving NASCSP your permission to use the information for the intended purpose. If you do not want to give NASCSP permission to use your information, simply do not provide it. However, not providing certain information may result in NASCSP’s inability to provide you with the information or services you desire.

This privacy policy will describe why we collect your information, how NASCSP uses your email address, updating your contact information, your security and privacy on our website, Website visitor data, opt-out, and links to other sites.

Why we collect your information

As a member organization, NASCSP collects and uses your email address for the sole purpose of providing our members and constituents with relevant updates and information sharing as it relates to specific programs, or changes to this privacy policy. Such updates include WAP updates with our Weatherization network, CSBG Digests for our state administrators, NASCSP news releases and newsletter stories, conference and training, promotion and registration information, Healthy Homes regional conferences and registration information, and additional important legislative updates as necessary. All personally identifiable information gathered can be disclosed to judicial or other government agencies in response to warrants, subpoenas or other governmental orders.

How NASCSP uses your email address

NASCSP does not share, sell, or rent your email address with any company; your address is strictly for the purpose of information sharing between the association and its members and constituents. Even if you have given NASCSP permission to send e-mails to you, you may revoke that permission at any time by following the "unsubscribe" information at the bottom of e-mail you receive from us where available. Likewise, you may place your request to nascsp@nascsp.org.

Updating your contact information

It is your responsibility to keep your primary email address up to date so that NASCSP can communicate with you electronically. You understand and agree that if NASCSP sends you an electronic Communication, but you do not receive it because your primary email address on file is incorrect, out of date, blocked by your service provider, or you are otherwise unable to receive electronic Communications, NASCSP will be deemed to have provided the Communication to you.

Please note that if you use a spam filter that blocks or re-routes emails from senders not listed in your email address book, you must add NASCSP to your email address book so that you will be able to receive the Communications we send to you.

Your security and privacy on our Website

National Association for States Community Services Programs has taken several steps to safeguard the integrity of its data and prevent unauthorized access to information maintained by NASCSP. For site security purposes and to ensure that this Website remains available to all users, NASCSP employs methods to monitor traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or otherwise cause damage to this Website. These measures are designed and intended to prevent corruption of data, block unknown and unauthorized access to our systems and information, and to provide reasonable protection of private information in our possession.

Website visitor data (data we collect automatically)

NASCSP routinely collects and temporarily stores certain data about your visit for use in our website management and security purposes, such as how many people visit the site, the pages they visit, where they come from, how long they stay on the site, etc. The data is collected in aggregate, anonymous basis, which means that no personal information is associated with the data. This data helps us improve site content and overall usage. The information is not shared with other organizations for their independent use.

This information is only used to help us make our site more useful for you. With this information we learn about the number of visitors to our site, what their interests are and the type of technology our visitors use. Except in the event of authorized law enforcement investigations, no attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits. Raw data logs are retained temporarily as required for security and site management purposes only.

Accessibility Statement

We continually strive to ensure the pages on our website are accessible to individuals with disabilities in accordance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Documents on NASCSP Websites are presented in many formats. These formats are generally accessible to users using screen-reading software. Some files on this Website may be posted as Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Adobe provides their Acrobat Reader software as a free download. We also provide a Plug-Ins page for generally available reader software.

Opt out

If you make a request to receive information in an ongoing manner through this Web site by providing your e-mail address (for example, requesting a subscription to one of our publications), you may make a request to discontinue future mailings. All messages sent to you by e-mail will contain information about how to “opt out” or unsubscribe from receiving future communication from NASCSP.

Moreover, as a member, you may be given an opportunity to receive e-mails about different types of NASCSP products, services, announcements, and updates. You may change your preferences at any time by updating your contact details profile or contacting us by general e-mail at nascsp@nascsp.org.

Links to other sites

NASCSP.org has links to other partner Websites. These include links to Websites operated by NASCSP and other government agencies and nonprofit organizations. When you travel to another site from this Website, you are no longer a visitor on NASCSP.org and this Privacy Notice will not apply. As such, you are subject to the privacy notice of that new site. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.
