This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection of information from this website that can personally identify you and/or your organization, and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used.

Personal Information Collected Through OAA’s questionnaire.  OAA collects and stores contact information from individuals as it is knowingly provided to us, including email addresses. OAA does not distribute personal information or email addresses to third parties. We use this information to contact individuals via email and mail with additional resources that might be of interest. You may choose at any time not to provide personally identifiable information, although this may restrict our ability to provide requested services or information.

The following are examples of personally identifiable information that you may volunteer to provide and examples of how we use such information.

• Email Addresses – OAA collects email addresses from the OAA Questionnaire to subscribe to emails and our mailing list for our newsletter.   OAA may use your email address to send you emails from OAA, including marketing emails from OAA, member updates, or email newsletters. To unsubscribe to any or all of OAA emails, login and click on Email Preferences. OAA does not distribute email addresses to third parties.

Photographs

Photos are taken in public settings during public events. If you are included in a photograph and would prefer that it not be distributed, please contact OAA at mkstagni@gmail.com and let us know what photo and where you saw it. We will do our best to remove it from circulation.

Embedded Content from Other Sites
