ICPI does not collect any personal information from general users browsing the website.  To the extent permitted by law and with respect to tracking overall ICPI website use, only aggregate data, such as the number of hits per page, is collected and used only for ICPI’s internal and marketing purposes.


ICPI Members, Subscribers, Certified Installers, Manufacturers, Convention or Meeting Registrants:

Several areas of the ICPI website require that you send ICPI personal information.  The required information may relate to the following:

            - ICPI Membership application

            - Subscriber information

            - On-line publication and product purchases

            - ICPI’s Certified Paver Installer Program Information

            - Certified Paver Manufacturer Information

Personal information of ICPI members, subscribers, ICPI certified installers, industry related manufacturers, as well as ICPI convention and meeting registrants collected by ICPI may include, but is not be limited to, names, addresses, electronic mail addresses, telephone numbers, etc. This information may also be received offline as well by mail, fax and telephone in the form of membership applications and renewals, meeting or program registrations, etc.  ICPI uses demographic and professional information collected on membership and other forms for aggregate analysis, to personalize its member records for better service, and to create targeted mailing lists for promotion by ICPI of technical resources, educational seminars, and publications. As stated previously in this policy, ICPI member information collected for the purpose of determining annual ICPI member dues is not shared with any third party and is accessible only by ICPI. 

In addition to the primary purpose stated or implied at the time the information is collected, to the extent permitted by law, ICPI  may also use your postal mailing address to send you information about ICPI programs, publications, events, surveys, etc. 

ICPI also makes its member data available to companies offering ICPI member benefits and to other responsible third parties that may offer industry relevant products and services that may be of interest and value to ICPI members.  Both ICPI member and non-member users of the ICPI website may request that the ICPI not disclose the data it collects to any third parties on the membership application form, subscriber information form, conference or convention registration forms, or any other form on which they are providing information to ICPI. The users may opt-out by changing their profile online or contacting ICPI at icpi@icpi.org or calling ICPI at (703) -657-6900.

If you supply an electronic mail address, ICPI may use the same to confirm your ICPI membership, an order you place, follow-up on a request for information, etc. as the context of the communication may reasonably dictate. ICPI may also use your electronic mail address to keep you informed about current and future ICPI programs, events, publications and initiatives.  On occasion ICPI may use your electronic mail address for a purpose indirectly related to the original context (e.g. e-mailing a customer satisfaction survey to those who have made purchases from the ICPI online publication service).   Except as stated above, ICPI does not make its electronic mail lists available to any third party.  ICPI members and non-members may opt out of ICPI’s use of their electronic mail addresses for the above purposes by changing your profile online or calling 703-657-6900. Because of the relationship ICPI seeks with its members, ICPI may send members periodic updates and announcements via e-mail.  ICPI may also make an occasional telephone call (e.g. to clear up a problem or inquire about a lapsed membership).

ICPI members have their own online opt-out section where they can opt-out of third-party print mailings and ICPI electronic mail announcements; they can also specify their preferred telephone number and mailing address.  Again, ICPI members may also opt-out of receiving such communications by changing their profile online or calling 703-657-6900.

Restricted Access Web Pages

Some areas of the ICPI website are restricted to ICPI members.  These areas require users to log in using company name and member ID or password.  This login information is not collected or tracked; it is used solely to verify that a person is authorized to use a particular website resource and is not made available to any third party.

Anonymous Information Collected Online

Generally speaking, you can visit the ICPI website without revealing any personal information about yourself or your company.  ICPI does keep a record of all server activity, which means that every page, image, or other type of filed requested by your browser is written into a log file.  Each entry in the log contains, among other things, information about the computer you’re using to connect to the Internet (“IP address”) and about your browser (e.g. which version of Internet Explorer you’re using). It does not however, tell us anything about you personally.  To the extent permitted by law, ICPI may use aggregate data from the web logs to determine how the site’s resources are being used and to refine its navigating structure.  If the need arises, ICPI may use the logs to trace the source of abusive or illicit activity.  ICPI does not share its web logs with any outside party.

ICPI may send such data outside of the European Economic Area for processing.  If you reside in the European Union, please indicate your affirmative consent that the personal information you have provided to ICPI may be transferred and stored in countries outside of the EU, including the United States and that ICPI may use such information to contact you via electronic mail, mail or by telephone with respect to matters related to the ICPI and its programs, your membership and other relevant educational and industry information. The user supplies as defined above when registering for the website in order to allow ICPI or its designated agent/vendor consent to use the information to send the user unsolicited direct mail advertisements, promotions, and solicitations for third parties’ products and services.

ICPI does not disclose credit card account information provided by its members or non-member customers.  When members or non-member customers choose to pay using their credit cards, ICPI submits the information needed to obtain payment to the appropriate clearing house and does not store such information.
