The Long Beach-South Bay Chapter of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists ("LBSB-CAMFT") has created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy, so that you, the user, will be aware of the uses made of information that may be generated as a result of you using our website.

Information Generated when you visit the CAMFT Website: Depending upon your use of the LBSB-CAMFT website, certain types of personal and non-personal information may be collected. For example, you may give us your name, license number, or email address when you complete an application, respond to a questionnaire or submit an email to CAMFT. Any personal information that you provide to us will be used by LBSB-CAMFT to fulfill the stated objective for which the information was requested or collected (e.g. if information is provided as a result of you emailing us, we will use the information provided, such as email address, to respond to you). In addition, such information may be used to update your member record in our database.

Other information that may be generated and collected when you use the LBSB-CAMFT website may be non-personal in nature. For example, we may collect the date and time you access the LBSB-CAMFT website or the Internet address of the website from which you linked directly to the LBSB-CAMFT website. We use this information to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of the website and to help make the LBSB-CAMFT website more useful to visitors.

"Find a Qualified Local Therapist":
LBSB-CAMFT is a private trade association consisting of mental health professionals. As one of the many benefits of membership, we make available on our website a searchable database of therapists. Find a Qualified Local Therapist is intended to be used by members of the public to locate and contact mental health professionals in their area by such characteristics as name, specialties, certifications, and geographical location.

If you are a member of LBSB-CAMFT and would like to be removed from Find a Qualified Local Therapist, please contact the VP of Membership.

"Contact Us":
Like most sites on the Internet, our website contains a feature that allows you to contact us with your comments or questions. When using this feature, there is a list of contact options.

Links to Other Sites:
In some areas of our website, we have included links to other Internet sites which we feel add to or improve the quality of our website. While we hope you find these links helpful, we cannot assume responsibility for the privacy practices or the content of any linked site. Therefore, we encourage you to investigate and determine the privacy policy and practices of any linked site prior to providing information to the linked site.

Surveys:
LBSB-CAMFT may from time to time create and use surveys on our Website. Most surveys are simple "click box" surveys where you click a box on the screen to indicate your response. However, we may from time to time ask you for your name, email address or demographic information. If a survey does ask you this information, we will use the information solely to complete the survey, compile statistics and update CAMFT member records.

Listservs, Message Boards, etc:
LB-SB-CAMFT may provide forums, listservs, message boards, and/or news groups on our website. These features will be helpful to the users of our website. However, LBSB-CAMFT will not monitor them regularly nor will LBSB-CAMFT be responsible for what is said on or done as a result of them. Please remember that any information you disclose on these types of features will be accessible to the public and you should exercise caution prior to disclosing any personal information on these features. Each listserv or other informational forum will have its own terms of use, which you must read and agree to prior to its use.

A listserv is a program that sends emails to the addresses on the listserv's list. LBSB-CAMFT listservs may only be available if you affirmatively sign up to participate. If you decide you do not want to participate in a particular listserv, the first email you receive from the listserv should provide you instructions on how to opt out of the service.

Disclosures Required by Law:
We may disclose information provided by you if we are legally required to do so, such as by court order or subpoena.

Security:
LBSB-CAMFT has implemented reasonable security measures to protect against the loss, theft, misuse and alteration of information collected or exchanged on our website. If you are concerned about the security of the Internet or our website, we suggest that you not provide this information.
