The International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) is committed to protecting your privacy. This page explains how the IBT's Communications staff gathers and handles information from visitors to the Web site and reflects our dedication to securing the information you entrust with us.


Personal Information

Teamsterorganizing.org only collects personal information that you voluntarily provide, either through online registration forms or through other communications with the IBT. This information may include your name, email address, street address, phone number, membership status and local union affiliation. This information is used by the IBT to communicate with you (if you grant permission to do so), to help you communicate with other Union organizers, and to better understand your interests and activities. Personal information you submit will only be available to on this secure site. It will not be sold or shared with unaffiliated third parties, such as mass marketers. If you wish to be removed from our online directory, contact the IBT's Organizing Department at the address below.

Teamsterorganizing.org provides personal information on a secure and confidential basis to third parties that have contracted with the IBT to offer services that it cannot offer on its own. These third-party providers are required to protect the privacy of IBT members and site visitors. They must safeguard your information and can use it only to complete the purchases or tasks you've authorized.

In accordance with the Children's Online Protection Privacy Act (COPPA), Teamsterorganizing.org does not knowingly collect, use or distribute personal information on children to any third party.


Visitor Tracking

Teamsterorganizing.org also collects nonindentifying information to help the IBT monitor and analyze usage patterns and web traffic, including the name of your Internet service provider, the browser you are using, the web site that referred you, the pages you visited while on the site and the date and time of your visits. We use this information on an aggregate basis to generate statistics that help us improve the usefulness of the site.


Use of 'Cookies'

Cookies are very small files downloaded to your computer that contain information about the user. Cookies can be "persistent," downloading to your hard drive and saved indefinitely, or "session," downloading to a temporary folder and erased when you close your browser. Teamsterorganizing.org uses only session cookies to help facilitate a few tasks on the site. The site does not use cookies to track other online activity. Likewise, Teamsterorganizing.org does not partner with or have special relationships with any ad server companies.


Opting Out of Emails

Teamsterorganizing.org will only send email that you have signed up to receive. If you wish to stop getting email from us, choose the "opt out" link in the message or write to communications@teamster.org. Teamsterorganizing.org does not send unsolicited email nor does it send emails requesting personal or financial information. Delete emails you believe to be suspicious.


Offsite Links

Teamsterorganizing.org may contain links to other sites. The IBT is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of other web sites. Be aware when you leave our site and review privacy statements before divulging your personal information. This privacy policy applies solely to Teamsterorganizing.org.


Policy Changes

Technology is always advancing. So the IBT reserves the right to change this privacy policy, to change the information we collect from visitors to our webpage, and to change the way in which we use that information.
