Privacy Statement

StanCERA takes the privacy of its members very seriously. Accordingly, StanCERA has taken steps to protect your private information.

The design of the Site includes industry-standard security precautions to ensure a safe and secure user experience. The personal information that you provide through the Site is protected by encryption and a secure socket layer (SSL) connection, so it cannot be read as it is transmitted over the Internet. However, despite StanCERA’s efforts, it is not possible for StanCERA to guarantee the safety and integrity of the Site. By agreeing to this Agreement, you acknowledge that the Internet is not an entirely secure network and that communications transmitted over the Internet may be lost, intercepted by third parties, or altered.

Email, live chat, and instant messaging are not secure platforms. Information transmitted via email, live chat, and instant messaging may be intercepted by third parties. Therefore, you should not transmit personal information (e.g. Social Security number, account numbers, banking information, etc.) via email, live chat, or instant message. If you wish to communicate sensitive information to the Site or StanCERA, send the information via mail or telephone rather than e-mail.

When accessing your Site account, never leave your computer unattended. It is also highly recommended that you close your Internet browser upon exiting/signing out from your account.

StanCERA is subject to the California Public Records Act (CPRA). Under the CPRA and cases interpreting the CPRA, StanCERA is required to disclose certain member information upon written request.

The Site may contain links to websites created and maintained by other public and private entities. StanCERA is not responsible for any material found on any linked website or for the privacy practices of other websites. StanCERA encourages Site users to review the privacy statements of other websites. Those privacy policies may differ from StanCERA’s privacy policies.
