Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2023-10-03
DIA Design Guild is committed to respecting your privacy and the personal information you provide us.
As part of this commitment, we want you to know our principles and practices for collecting, using, storing, or disclosing your personal information.
Information Collection and Use
By “personal information” we mean any information, recorded in any form, about an identified individual, or an individual whose identity may be inferred or determined from such information.
Personal information does not include information that’s publicly available, such as business contact information or information found in a telephone directory.
What we collect
The only personal information DIA Design Guild captures is information you volunteer when you:
- join our newsletter, for example, your email address
- request information from us
- apply to be an apprentice, mentor, or board director
- complete a survey
- participate in a research study
How we store data
Anything that is entered in the Contact form is stored by us as a received email as well as by Tally Form as a "submission."
Anything that is entered into the calendar system is stored by us in our Google Calendar as well as by Freebusy, our third-party calendar tool.
How we use data
We use information to communicate with you about our events and services.
DIA Design Guild only collects information that is necessary for:
- registering and managing membership
- collecting and processing membership payments and other payments we may collect when people attend events like events, conferences, seminars, or meetings that are sponsored or co-sponsored by DIA Design Guild
- sending out company-related information to subscribers
If at any time you do not wish to receive emailed information from us, you may unsubscribe and we will take you off the email list.
DIA Design Guild never sells, trades, or shares information we collect on the website with others.
DIA Design Guild will use all reasonable efforts to protect your personal information.
Log Data
When you visit our website or use any of the third-party tools we use, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our site ("log data").
This Log Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages and other statistics. In addition, we may use third party services that collect data about your visit.
However, we strive to be as intentional as possible in choosing what tools are used.
- We use Ghost for our website and subscription platform. Ghost CMS doesn't come with website analytics and we don't use any integration with Google Analytics or any third-party website analytics tracker. We're not going to bother setting one up. If you are subscribed to our newsletter, we'll have access to your email and general location (country-level), but we're not going to do anything except send the newsletter.
- We use Tally Forms for forms and any explicit information collection (surveys, screeners, etc). Tally Forms does not track your IP or location.
- We use Luma for event management. We don't use the Zoom integration so it will not track when you join an event, how long you stay, etc.
- We use Discord for community engagement.
Your Rights
Where and when required by the law, you have the right to request access, correction or erasure of your personal data. We may need to request information from you to confirm your identity.
DIA Design Guild reserves the right to disclose personal information to a third party if a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena, or court order legally requires or authorizes us to do so.
This website contains links to other websites. DIA Design Guild is not responsible for the privacy practices of any other websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to information we collect on this website.
By visiting and using this website, you agree to DIA Design Guild Privacy Policy.
