Our Website

This privacy notice discloses the privacy practices for the State E-rate Coordinators’ Alliance website available at https://secaerate.net/ and applies solely to information collected by the website.

The State E-rate Coordinators’ Alliance (SECA) is committed to protecting your privacy. We may collect personally identifiable information when you visit our website. We also collect some non-personally identifiable information for statistical purposes. We do not sell your personally identifiable information to anyone.

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

The State E-rate Coordinators’ Alliance is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We only have access to and collect information that you voluntarily give us via email, by completing a member profile, or other direct contact from you. We will not sell, rent, or lease this information to anyone.

We use the information we gather to enhance your website experience, to maintain membership access, and to process payments. We will use your information to respond to you regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization other than as necessary to fulfill your request, for example to process credit card payments. Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future.

In common with other websites, log files may be stored on the web server saving details such as the visitor’s IP address, browser type, referring page and time of visit.

Some pages on this site may use “cookies” which are small files that the site places on your hard drive for identification purposes. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID to track the pages visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. These files are used for site registration and customization the next time you visit us.

Some parts of the site may also use cookies to track user traffic patterns. We do this in order to determine the usefulness of our website information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information. Please note that cookies cannot read data off of your hard drive. Your web browser may allow you to be notified when you are receiving a cookie, giving you the choice to accept it or not. If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our website, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser. By not accepting cookies, some pages may not fully function and you may not be able to access certain information on this site.

You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. If you have subscribed to our website, you may unsubscribe by following the instructions which are included in emails that you receive from the website.

Member Directory

Only SECA members are included in the directory. Public information is limited to the state coordinator's name, state, and whether they serve schools, libraries, or both. Additional member information is made available only for SECA members and is visible after an active member has logged into the website. Member data is only used in the membership system and for no other purpose. The directory may not be sold or used by anyone else for any purpose without written approval from SECA’s Officers.

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.

Third Party Providers

SECA uses Wild Apricot to host its website and administer its membership information. Wild Apricot's service has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Wild Apricot follows generally accepted industry practices to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.
