TLCA PRIVACY POLICY

Who we are

The TLCA Community is a rich and vibrant one that brings people together for the love of their Toyotas. The Toyota Land Cruiser Association (TLCA) http://www.tlca.org/ takes privacy and the security of collected data seriously.

Anonymous Information Collected

An IP address is an anonymous string of numbers that identifies each computer using the internet (both human and bots). It is tracked on our website by the following entities for better security, products offered, and marketing purposes.

Your browser may also send response headers with generic/anonymized information about the type of browser, computer/device, and ISP you are using, and your location by country only.

The privacy policy of each entity that collects this information is linked below, if you would like more info about them.

Google Analytics – so we can determine the type of products and content you are most interested in and create more of this.

InMotion Hosting – kept in the server logs so the host can identify and stop bad bot attacks.

YouTube – if you view a YouTube embedded video on the site, the IP info is sent to YouTube to record that the video has been viewed, just as it would if you had watched it directly on YouTube.

Membership Data Collected

We collect your name, address, email, phone number, and Toyota vehicles owned. This information may be shared with TLCA chapter officers for the express purpose of contacting TLCA members in their local area. This information may be provided to Business Members for use in membership verification for TLCA discounts. This information will not be sold to any outside companies.

Comments/Reviews

When visitors leave comments or reviews on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Cookies

If you leave a review on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
