Welcome to PIHRA Online, owned and produced by the Professionals In Human Resources Association (PIHRA). Our websites are available to all visitors, although some content and features are restricted to PIHRA members.
The Association (“PIHRA”) has adopted this Privacy Policy (“Policy”) to govern the collection, use, and storage of data. PIHRA places a high priority on protecting your privacy. This Policy was created in order to demonstrate PIHRA’s commitment to the privacy of our members, conference attendees and website users and governs pihra.org and cahrconference.org, or any other website that links to this Policy. By accessing our website or providing your information to us, you accept and agree to the practices described in this Policy.

All products and services on PIHRA Online are made available subject to this Privacy Policy. By using the products and services, you agree, without limitation or qualification, to be bound by this Privacy Policy.
1. What Types of Data We Collect and How We Use It
We collect a variety of information when you visit our websites, engage with our service, or attend a PIHRA conference.
Personal Information shall have the definition as set forth in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018. Personal Information may include name, employer, email, employer phone, mobile phone, address, credentials/certifications, credit card information, IP addresses, membership history, and details of products and/or services purchased and identifies you as an individual or is information that can be linked to you as an individual (“Personal Information” or “Personal Data”). Personal Information does not include information that has been deidentified, pseudonymized, anonymized, aggregated, and/or otherwise processed so that it can no longer be attributed to a specific individual or household.
Here is what we collect:
How We Collect Personal Data
In general, a visitor will know when Personal Data is being collected because he or she will have to fill out a form or has emailed the organization. In addition, we may collect Personal Data through your use of the website(s) and Apps, information you provide during a conference, or any discussion boards or chat rooms.
Visitors may generally browse public portions of the PIHRA or California HR Conference website anonymously without providing any detailed information. However, Personal Data is required in connection with registering with the sites. In addition, Personal Data will be requested in connection with membership registration, event activities and registration, purchasing products or services, requesting additional information, signing up for newsletters, registration for an education program or event, submitting a program application (e.g. award, certification, etc.), and/or completing the application to be a speaker at a PIHRA event, or submitting questions through these sites.
2. Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored for varying amounts of time on the user’s hard drive containing information about the user. PIHRA may use cookies in order to collect certain information about you, such as IP addresses (the Internet address of a computer), domain names (e.g., whether you are logged on from a .com, .gov, or .edu domain) and the type of computer and operating system being used. We may also use cookies to identify your computer when you revisit our website or to recall your authentication information. We may collect such information in order to better operate the website so as to enhance your experience while using the website. You have the option of setting your computer to disable cookies or to alert you when cookies are being used. If you choose to disable cookies, please be aware that portions of the website may not function properly.
3. How We Share Information
PIHRA may provide personal information to third party agents, event sponsors, or PIHRA’s partnerships. This may include payment processors, association membership system providers, event sponsors, partners, PIHRA newsletter publishers, website analytics, member analyses, membership renewal and/or updates on member programs and services. We also share data with exhibitors, sponsors and partners of PIHRA programs, including the California HR Conference. Unless directed otherwise at the time of collection, we may also share collected personal information with third parties who may have information or services that we believe could be helpful to members or visitors. Visitors may opt-out of communications received by third parties.
PIHRA reserves the right to disclose without notice any information in its possession if required to do so by law, to protect or defend PIHRA’s rights or property, or to respond to an emergency.
External links
This Policy only addresses PIHRA’s use and disclosure of your Personal Data. The website may contain links to other websites, so please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites, and we are not liable for their misuse of Personal Data. We encourage you to be aware that when you go to another website you should carefully read their privacy policy. Links to other sites do not imply PIHRA’s endorsement of the products or services, or privacy or security practices of those websites.

Request erasure of your Personal Data. You may have the right to request that Personal Data we hold about you is deleted.
Object to processing of your Personal Data. You may have the right to prevent or restrict processing of your Personal Data.

Request the transfer of your Personal Data. Where technically feasible, we will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
Withdraw your consent. Withdraw your consent. However, if you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

4. How You Can Access and Change Information
PIHRA acknowledges that you have the right to access your Personal Data. In case you request us to remove data, we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
You can log into you member profile at mypihra.org/login to update your personal data at any time. Upon request, we will provide you with information about whether we hold any of your Personal Data. You can update or correct your Personal Data or remove it from our system by making a request to us at the contact information provided below. Requests typically receive a response within thirty (30) days. If access cannot be provided within that time frame, we will provide the requesting party with an estimated date by which the information will be provided. If for some reason access is denied, we will provide an explanation of why access has been denied.
Our Security Measures to Protect Your Personal Data
We are committed to taking reasonable efforts to secure the information that you choose to provide us, and we use a variety of security procedures to help protect against unauthorized access to or alteration, disclosure, or destruction of Personal Data. We restrict access to Personal Data to our employees, contractors and servicers who need to know the information to operate, develop, or improve our services.
Unfortunately, no transmission of Personal Data over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Accordingly, and despite our efforts, PIHRA cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, or to or from our online services. PIHRA has no responsibility or liability for the security of information transmitted via the Internet. If you have questions about this Policy or the security of your Personal Data, please contact us as indicated under the “Contact Us” section below.
We retain your Personal Data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
Modifications
We may amend this Policy from time to time without prior notice and any updates will be effective upon posting. If we decide to change this Policy, we will post those changes on our home page so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it, so please review it periodically. Under certain circumstances, we may also elect to notify registered users of changes or updates to this Policy by additional means, but you should not rely on receiving such additional notice.
Your continued use of our website will be deemed to be your agreement to the changed terms.
Eligibility to Use Services/Minors
Our services are not directed to persons under the age of 18. You may not purchase or use our services if you are under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or maintain personal information from anyone under the age of 18 or knowingly allow such persons to become a member or register for our services. If you are under the age of 18, do not send any personal information (such as your age, address, telephone number or email address) to us. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from an individual under age 18 without verification of parental consent, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete that information from our database.
As a member or individual customer of PIHRA who is a resident of California, you have the right under the California “Shine the Light” law at California Civil Code § 1798.83 to request PIHRA to provide you within 30 days of your request, by regular or electronic mail, with a list of the categories of personal information that were shared by PIHRA with third parties for direct marketing purposes during the immediately preceding calendar year, the names and addresses of those third parties, and if the nature of their business cannot reasonably be determined from their name, examples of the products and services marketed by them. However, under the same California law, in lieu of responding to such request, PIHRA can provide you with the right to opt-out of having your personal information licensed to such third parties, and providing you with notice of your right to opt-out. PIHRA has chosen to provide the opt out right described below, and so does not need to respond further to California member or customer inquiries under the California Shine the Light law.
You may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from PIHRA and from third parties to whom PIHRA might otherwise license the right to use member or customer personal information.
