How Your Information May Be Used
We use your personal information to provide you with personalized service; to send email alerts to you regarding your membership status or your registration for member events; to send electronic newsletters, event alerts, and other publications; to answer your requests; to request your participation in surveys/evaluations; to process your membership; etc. You may choose to unsubscribe to any specific communication at any time.

This category of information also includes data that you electronically submit when you register to use our website or you submit an ASAP membership application via our website. Similar information may be submitted through conference or webinar/event registration, publication orders, and subscriptions. While some areas of our website are accessible to the public, many of the features and services that are available on the website are open only to ASAP members (the “Member Areas”). If you are an ASAP member, you will be asked to register for access to the “Member Areas” by completing the registration provided on the website.

The Association of Strategic Alliance Professionals does not provide, sell, or rent email addresses to anyone outside the organization.

Access Privileges
We use information collected during registration to verify that you have the rights to access ASAP-member-only content, and that you qualify for various ASAP-member discounts and promotions. For our email communications, ASAP members, registered users of any ASAP site, and other ASAP customers may opt out at any time by using the “Unsubscribe” mechanism within the email, which allows email recipients to manage their subscription preferences regarding ASAP e-newsletters, email alerts, and special offers. This mechanism does not allow a user to opt out of receiving transactional email, such as registration confirmation, product, service, or membership benefit updates, and responses to direct requests. Additionally, ASAP members and website registered users may opt out of receiving email communications by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link found at the bottom of ASAP emails.
Only you and ASAP staff can view your complete contact record. Portions of your contact record will be visible in the ASAP Member Directory while you have an active ASAP membership. Use of the ASAP Member Directory is for networking purposes only. Abuse of this information could lead to suspension or loss of membership. You can edit the information available in your contact record (and limit visibility of information shown in the Member Directory) at any time.
