Privacy Policy

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) is committed to protecting your privacy. This page explains how the IBT's Communications staff gathers and handles information from visitors to the Web site and reflects our dedication to securing the information you entrust with us.

Personal Information

The only personal information FireMaryPeters.com collects is what you voluntarily provide through online registration forms, purchases or emails. This information may include your name, email address, street address and phone number. This information is used by the IBT to communicate with you (if you grant permission to do so), to send the messages you authorize us to send from you to decision makers, and to better understand your interests and activities. Personal information you submit through online forms is kept confidential and will not be sold or shared with unaffiliated third parties, such as mass marketers.

The IBT provides personal information on a secure and confidential basis to third parties that have contracted with the IBT to offer services that it cannot offer on its own, such as sending email alerts. These third-party providers are required to protect the privacy of all site visitors. They must safeguard your information and can use it only to complete the purchases or tasks you've authorized.

In accordance with the Children's Online Protection Privacy Act (COPPA), the IBT does not knowingly collect, use or distribute personal information on children to any third party.

Visitor Tracking

The IBT also collects nonindentifying information to help monitor and analyze usage patterns and web traffic, including the name of your Internet service provider, the browser you are using, the web site that referred you, the pages you visited while on the site and the date and time of your visits. We use this information on an aggregate basis to generate statistics that help us improve the usefulness of the site.

Use of 'Cookies'

Cookies are very small files downloaded to your computer that contain information about the user. Cookies can be "persistent," downloading to your hard drive and saved indefinitely, or "session," downloading to a temporary folder and erased when you close your browser. The IBT uses only session cookies to help facilitate a few tasks on the site. This site does not use cookies to track other online activity. Likewise, the IBT does not partner with or have special relationships with any ad server companies.

Opting Out of Emails

We will only send email that you have signed up to receive. If you wish to stop getting email from us, choose the "opt out" link in the message or write to communications@teamster.org. The IBT does not send unsolicited email nor does it send emails requesting personal or financial information. Delete emails you believe to be suspicious.

Offsite Links

FireMaryPeters.com contains links to other sites. The IBT is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of non-IBT web sites. Be aware when you leave our site and review privacy statements before divulging your personal information. This privacy policy applies solely to FireMaryPeters.org.
