PRIVACY STATEMENT of The American Geographical Society Travel Program WEBSITES
The American Geographical Society Travel Program considers the responsible use of personal information to be of vital importance. The American Geographical Society Travel Program is committed to respecting your privacy.
In general, you can visit the American Geographical Society Travel Program website without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself.
However there are times when we may need information from you such as when you register for events or to receive information from us. This information may include your name, home or business address and e-mail address. The American Geographical Society Travel Program will seek to let you know before we collect any personal information from you over the Internet.
The American Geographical Society Travel Program will not share information collected about you on our web site. We are committed to using any data supplied for the purposes for which it was intended.

In those limited cases where session information is not anonymous, the American Geographical Society Travel Program will provide notice of the practice and an opportunity to "opt out."
