Privacy Policy
The Montana Society of Certified Public Accountants (MTCPA) has created a privacy policy to demonstrate our commitment to keeping your online transactions safe and personal and financial information private. These guidelines have been developed with the understanding that they may change as our online business model continues to evolve. Changes to the guidelines will be posted on this page.
Collection and Use of Information
Members have the opportunity to submit information via the MTCPA web page (www.mtcpa.org) while joining, paying membership dues, registering for CPE offerings, participating in the “Find a CPA” network and otherwise interacting with the MTCPA web page. Information collected from these features may include name, employer, addresses, phone and fax numbers, certification and license information, social security number, email address and credit card information. This information is collected solely to identify the individual, maintain accurate member records, or enroll the individual in programs.
Choices for Sharing of Information
The MTCPA sends mailings to its members regarding MTCPA business and MTCPA-sponsored CPE and other activities. At the time of joining or renewing membership with the MTCPA, members are can opt out of receiving various MTCPA mailings in the appropriate section of the membership form. Members can also opt out of receiving these mailings at any time by contacting the MTCPA (see below).
A “Membership Directory” is available in a password-protected member area of the MTCPA web page. This directory lists contact information for all members and is provided for the convenience of members. The extraction of large amounts of information from the MTCPA database, sometimes referred to as “data mining,” is expressly prohibited. No one, member or non-member, may gain access to the MTCPA “Membership Directory” on the MTCPA web site in order to “mine” member data for any purpose, including commercial, political, or other solicitation purposes.
The MTCPA avoids collecting and maintaining information that is considered sensitive. Occasionally such information is used to facilitate attendance at CPE offerings or other MTCPA meetings (e.g., meals, nametags, special accommodations). Members have the choice not to provide sensitive information such as gender, marital status, ethnicity, religion or medical information.
