Introduction
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) applies to the www.croplifeamerica.org web site. It tells users (“you” or “applicant”) of the web site and the services provided therein about the information collected by CropLife America and how CropLife America uses and shares this information. The CropLife America web site is operated by CropLife America and Omni Studios. All references below to Croplife America or “we” include CropLife America and Omni Studios
Types of Information We Collect
CropLife America collects both “personally identifiable information” and “non-personally identifiable information” from or about users of its web sites.
Personally Identifiable Information
CropLife America collects several types of information that may identify a particular individual (“personally identifiable information”). We collect personally identifiable information when you provide it to us through your use of the site, such as by signing up for CropLife America newsletter, filling out “Contact us for More Information” forms…. The types of personally identifiable information we collect include, without limitation: name and email address.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Non-personally identifiable information is anonymous information that cannot be associated with a specific individual. The types of non-personally identifiable information that we collect (either directly, through the use of “cookies,” or through the use of a third party tracking system) include: the IP address of the computer making the request; your browser type and language; information about areas of the site visited by users of the site; information about the links that users may select to visit on the site; etc.
IP addresses are not usually associated with your personal computer, but with a portal through which you accessed the Internet. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. A “cookie” is a piece of information a web site sends to your computer while you are viewing the web site to remember who are you without personally identifying you.
CropLife America may share this non-personally identifiable information only in summary form with its members for the purpose of web site statistical and trend analysis. This information is not linked to any personally identifiable information that can identify an individual person.
How We Use Personally-Identifiable Information
We use the personally-identifiable information you provide to us through this site in order to: deliver the products or services you have requested; provide support to CropLife America members; communicate with you by email, postal mail, telephone, and/or mobile devices about products or services that may be of interest to you; perform data and statistical analysis on use of the web site; enforce our terms and conditions, and perform any other functions otherwise described to you at the time we collect the information.
Sharing Your Personally-Identifiable Information
CropLife America will disclose your personally-identifiable information in response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court order, or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal claims; or as otherwise required by law. We will disclose your personally-identifiable information when we believe disclosure is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activity, suspected fraud or other wrongdoing; to protect and defend the rights, property, or safety of our company, our employees, our web site users, or others; or to enforce our website terms and conditions or other agreements or policies.
Links to Third Party Web Sites
We may provide links or automatically redirect you to third party web sites that do not operate under this Policy. For example, if you click on an advertisement presented on our site, you may be taken to a web site that CropLife America does not operate or control. You should review the privacy statements and terms of use of all third party web sites you access. These third party web sites may independently solicit and collect information from you. On occasion, those third party web sites may provide us with information about your use of those sites.
Changes
CropLife America’s policies, content, information, promotions, disclosures, disclaimers and features may be revised, modified, updated, and/or supplemented at any time and without prior notice at the sole and absolute discretion of CropLife America.

CropLife America has put in place physical, procedural, and technological security measures to help prevent unauthorized access to and improper use of the information we collect online. For example, only authorized employees and authorized third parties are permitted to access personally-identifiable information, and they may do so only for permitted business functions. No web site or Internet network can be completely secure. Although we take steps to secure your information, we do not guarantee, and you should not expect, that your personal information, searches, or other communications will always remain secure.
