WWW.ELFUN.ORG Web Site Privacy Statement

he Elfun Society is committed to protecting any personal information that you may provide to us. In particular, we believe it is important for you to know how we treat information about you that we may receive from this Web Site.

Information Collected

In general, you can visit this Web Site without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers collect the domain names, not the email addresses, of visitors. In addition, there are portions of this Web Site where we may need to collect personal information from you for a specific purpose, such as to provide you with certain information you request. If you become an Elfun member, information we need to keep in contact with you, such as address, telephone, fax number or email address, may be provided to us from the Company's Oracle HR or Corporate Benefits Delivery databases.

This Web Site is not intended for persons under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from or about children, and we do not knowingly market our products or services to children.

Use of Collected Information

Domain name information that we collect is not used to personally identify you and instead is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed, etc. We use this information to measure the use of our site and to improve the content of our site.

When other information is collected from you, such as your name and email address, we generally let you know at the time of collection how we will use the personal information. For example, we may use any personal information you provide during the member registration process to maintain Elfun Society membership records; to communicate by email or postal mail to Elfun Society members; to provide information regarding the Elfun Society; to solicit contributions to the Elfun Community Foundation; and for other Elfun Society-related purposes.

We may share the personal information you provide us with those companies providing you the programs and benefits you have selected on the Member Benefits page, such as financial institutions offering programs to Elfun Society members (including credit card or insurance services). These companies are contractually bound to use personal information we share with them only to provide you these programs and for no other purpose. From time-to-time, on their own, these companies may send information about their programs directly to Elfun members via US Postal Mail or email for the purpose of soliciting participation. You may "opt out" here if you DO NOT wish to receive such information. If you change your mind, you may "opt back in" at a future time. We may also release information about you if you direct us to do so, if we are required by law to do so, or in other legally limited circumstances (for example, to protect your data from fraud).

This Web Site does not use cookies. A cookie is a tiny element of data that a Web Site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive so we could recognize you when you return.

Links to Other Sites

The Elfun Society's Web Site may contain links to other organizations. While we try to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices employed by other sites.

Security of Collected Information

We maintain strict physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized or inappropriate access. We restrict access to information about you to individuals who need to know the information to administer the Elfun Society's operations or to respond to your inquiry or request. For example, Elfun global and chapter officers and board members will have access to membership records. Individuals who misuse personal information are subject to disciplinary action.

Access to Collected Information

You may review and update the information that you provide to us through this Web Site by contacting us as described below. To update information derived from GE's Oracle HR system, you should contact your Human Resources representatives.

Contacting Us

If you have any questions about this privacy statement, please contact your chapter secretary, membership coordinator or the Elfun Society Headquarters. We welcome your questions and suggestions about our privacy statement.

Changes to this Policy

Please check this privacy policy periodically to inform yourself of any changes. Although we reserve the right to modify or supplement this privacy statement, we will note the fact that changes have been made on the link to this statement (e.g., "Revised Privacy Statement" or words to that effect) for at least 30 days following any changes.
