Information We May Receive

Information You Provide

When you email the Lodge, submit a contact form, request information, register for an event, apply for a program, or otherwise communicate with us, we may receive the information you choose to provide. This may include your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, organization, message, and other information relevant to your request.

Technical and Security Information

Our hosting platform and security tools may automatically process technical information needed to deliver and protect the website. This may include an Internet Protocol address, browser and device information, referring page, requested page, date and time of access, and security-event data.

Comments and Public Accounts

The public Lodge website is not presently intended to provide public commenting or general visitor account registration. Should either feature be enabled later, this policy will be reviewed and updated to describe the additional information collected and how it is handled.

How We Use Information

Information received through the website may be used to:

• Respond to questions, requests, and Lodge correspondence.
• Provide information about membership, events, programs, and volunteer opportunities.
• Administer registrations, applications, scholarships, donations, or other Lodge activities when offered.
• Maintain website performance, reliability, and security.
• Prevent fraud, spam, abuse, and unauthorized access.
• Comply with legal, financial, administrative, and recordkeeping obligations.
• Improve the website and understand general patterns of site use.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

WordPress, the hosting environment, and installed security or administrative tools may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for website operation, administrator login, security, and user preferences.

Embedded media and third-party services may place their own cookies or use similar technologies. Those technologies are controlled by the applicable third party and are governed by that provider’s privacy practices.

If the Lodge later adds nonessential analytics, advertising, or marketing technologies that require additional notice or consent, the website and this policy will be updated accordingly.

Embedded Content and External Websites

Lodge pages may include embedded videos, images, audio, maps, social-media features, Heritage Minute material, or other content supplied by third-party websites. Embedded content may behave in the same manner as a direct visit to the website that supplied it.

Third-party websites may collect information, use cookies, or monitor a visitor’s interaction with their content, particularly when the visitor is logged into an account with that provider. The Lodge does not control the privacy practices of external websites. Visitors should review the privacy policy of any external service they choose to use.

How We Share Information

The Lodge does not sell personal information. Information may be shared only when reasonably necessary with:

• Website hosting, email, security, form-processing, and other service providers supporting Lodge operations.
• Lodge officers, authorized volunteers, committee members, and program partners who need the information to fulfill a legitimate Lodge purpose.
• Government agencies, courts, law enforcement, or other parties when disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, property, or website security.
• A successor organization or service provider if responsibility for a Lodge program or website operation is lawfully transferred.

How Long We Retain Information

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was received, including correspondence, program administration, security, financial accountability, historical records, and legal or organizational recordkeeping.

Retention periods vary according to the type of information. Technical logs may be retained for a limited operational or security period, while certain membership, scholarship, financial, historical, or legal records may be retained longer when appropriate.

Your Choices and Privacy Requests

Subject to applicable law and legitimate recordkeeping requirements, you may contact the Lodge to ask what personal information we maintain about you, request a correction, or request deletion of information that is no longer needed.

Requests should be sent to info@osia2738.com . We may need to verify the identity and authority of the requester before acting on a request.

Data Security

The Lodge uses reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information and maintain the security of the website. No method of Internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and visitors should avoid sending highly sensitive information through ordinary email or general website forms.

Children and Scholarship Information

The general website is not designed to collect personal information directly from children under 13. Lodge programs, including scholarships, may involve students who are minors. When student information is requested, the Lodge will use it for the stated program purpose and may provide additional instructions or notices with the applicable application.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

The Lodge may revise this policy when website features, services, legal requirements, or organizational practices change. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
