Privacy Notice
This privacy notice discloses the privacy practices for Utilities Service Alliance (USA) conference mobile
applications (“Apps”). This privacy notice applies solely to information collected by our Apps. It will
inform you of the following:
What personally identifiable information is collected from you through the Apps, how it is used and with
whom it may be shared.
What choices are available to you regarding the use of your data.
The security procedures in place to protect the misuse of your information.
How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.
Information Collection, Use, and Sharing
We are the sole owners of the information collected in our Apps. We only have access to/collect
information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or
rent this information to anyone.
We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not
share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill
your request.
Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about USA conference
opportunities, specials, sponsorships, or changes to this privacy policy.
Your Access to and Control Over Information
You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. You can do the following at any time by
contacting us via the email address or phone number provided in our Apps or on our website at
www.usainc.org:
See what data we have about you, if any.
Change/correct any data we have about you.
Have us delete any data we have about you.
Express any concern you have about our use of your data.
Registration
In order to use our Apps, a user must first complete the conference registration form. During
registration a user is required to provide certain information (such as name and email address). This
information is used to contact you about the conference for which you have expressed interest. At your
option, you may also provide demographic information (such as gender or age) about yourself, but it is
not required.
Profile information such as your name, company, title, email address etc., collected during registration is
available to other conference attendees by default, however you may designate your profile as “private”
within the app if you prefer not to share this information publicly (name and company are shown for
profiles marked as private).

Links
Our Apps contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or
privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and
to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our Apps request information via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys
or contests is completely voluntary and you may choose whether or not to participate and therefore
disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and
shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will
be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of
monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the
website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and
transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and
looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the Web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your
information offline. Only staff who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or
customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in
which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
If you feel that we are not abiding by this privacy policy, you should contact us immediately via
telephone at 913-451-5641 or via email at USAconferences@usainc.org.
