What do we do with the information collected?
Information gathered from Alliance forms on this site is used to process your online request. Other uses include carrying out the purposes of specified statutes. We do NOT sell or share personal data to advertisers or marketers for advertising or direct marketing purposes.
Most information acquired by the Alliance is subject to public inspection. Other statutes, regulations or laws governing subpoenas, discovery for litigation, Public Records Act requests, and commercial requestor requester accounts also apply to information gathered at this website. However, various provisions of law do prohibit or restrict the disclosure of certain electronically transmitted information such as social security numbers, residence addresses, and credit card accounts numbers.
The Alliance also uses the information gathered on this website to help improve this website. For example, by tracking the number of website visitors, the date of visit, and the pages visited, Alliance can balance resources so that the maximum number of visitors can obtain needed information. Additionally, by tracking what visitor software is being used (e.g. browser) Alliance can avoid using features that visitors can not view or use.

What is the security requirement for the browser?
The Alliance website has security measures in place to protect against loss, misuse, or alteration of the information under our control. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protects the message transmissions using encryption. SSL works with your browser and the receiving Internet site to scramble the message while it is transported through the Internet. For transactions requiring payment and/or confidential information, we recommend using the 128 bit encryption standard SSL to protect the confidentiality of your information. However, 40 bit encryption is also supported.
