This policy describes how the Oklahoma Bar Association collects, processes, uses, discloses, or shares your information. When you use our sites, products, or services or otherwise form a relationship with us, we may obtain data from you and the devices you use to interact with us.
This policy is designed to provide transparency into our privacy practices and principles in a format you can navigate, read, and understand.
We commit to treating your personal information with care and respect and give you methods to contact us should you have any questions or concerns about the use of your information.
The Scope of this Policy
This Policy describes the processing of information provided or collected on our sites (the “Website”) and applications where this privacy policy is posted. In some instances, we may provide additional data privacy notices specific to certain products, practices, or regions. Those terms should be read in conjunction with this policy.
If you provide information to us on a third-party site or platform, the information you provide may be separately collected by the third-party site or platform. That third-party site or platform’s privacy practices will govern the use of your information. Choices you make on that third-party platform will not apply to our use of the information we have collected through our sites, products, or services.
Your Privacy Rights
If you are a resident of certain states or countries, you may have the right to know, access, correct, transfer, restrict the processing of, opt-out from certain types of processing (e.g., targeted advertising, the sale of personal data, limit the use and disclosure of sensitive information, and profiling, as defined by the applicable state law(s)), and delete your personal information. If you choose to exercise any of these options, we will not discriminate against you for making that decision.
You can exercise your privacy rights by contacting us at web@okbar.org. There may be situations where we cannot grant your request (e.g., disclosures based on court rules and regulatory requirements). In such a situation, we will explain our reasoning to you and will honor your right to appeal when applicable.

Server log information: When you visit the Oklahoma Bar Association Website, you are identifiable as a unique number, called an IP address. Your IP address is automatically collected in server logs. We use this information to help diagnose problems with our server and to analyze server traffic to learn which pages on the Oklahoma Bar Association Website receive more or fewer visitors. This information is anonymous and cannot be traced back to a specific individual. The server log also can tell us which browser you are using and the name of the Website that referred you to our site.
Session Cookies: When you visit the Oklahoma Bar Association Website, session cookies are maintained in your computer’s temporary memory. These disappear when your session is over and you close your browser.

How We Protect Your Data
The Oklahoma Bar Association implements commercially reasonable security measures to help protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data. The Oklahoma Bar Association maintains reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the confidentiality of information transmitted online. Except for membership directories, membership lists and registration lists, and the sharing of information as set forth in this Privacy Policy, we restrict access to certain companies who need the data to operate, develop, or improve our services or benefits. In some cases, limited data may be made available to volunteer leaders on behalf of the Oklahoma Bar Association for purposes such as membership recruitment and retention. Users should be aware that even though protections are in place, the Oklahoma Bar Association cannot guarantee against the occurrence of hardware failure, unauthorized or unlawful intrusion, or other technical problems.
Linked Sites and Third-Party Providers
The Oklahoma Bar Association Website contains links to other external websites (“linked sites”) that we believe may be useful to Oklahoma Bar Association members and the public. The Oklahoma Bar Association is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these linked sites.

For example, these service providers may help us analyze visitor activity on the Oklahoma Bar Association Website or provide feedback on the effectiveness of our email communications. We may use a third-party service provider to help us efficiently send email communications to members. Aside from member email addresses, we do not share any personal information about members with third-party service providers. Our third-party service providers are prohibited from sharing, selling or renting member email addresses, and we take additional steps as necessary to prevent information from being shared.
