Louisiana Life Safety & Security Association (LLSSA)

The Louisiana Life Safety & Security Association (“LLSSA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of personal information entrusted to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect information obtained through our website, programs, events, and communications. 

By accessing or using the LLSSA website or providing information to LLSSA, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. 

Information We Collect 

LLSSA may collect personal and non-personal information. 

Personal information includes information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, company name, job title, professional license information, mailing address, email address, telephone number, membership applications and renewals, event registrations, class enrollments, certification records, payment-related information submitted through secure third-party processors, and communications with LLSSA. 

Non-personal information may be collected automatically when you visit the LLSSA website. This may include IP address, browser type, operating system, pages viewed, time spent on the site, and referring URLs. This information is used in aggregate to help improve website performance and user experience. 

How We Use Information 

Information collected by LLSSA is used solely for legitimate association and operational purposes. These purposes include administering memberships, certifications, and educational programs; processing event registrations and payments; communicating with members and industry stakeholders; distributing newsletters, alerts, and regulatory updates; supporting compliance with licensing and continuing education requirements; improving services and website functionality; and meeting legal, regulatory, and insurance obligations. 

Payment Processing 

LLSSA does not store full credit card numbers or banking information. Payments made through the LLSSA website are processed by secure third-party payment processors that comply with applicable security standards. LLSSA receives confirmation of payment but does not retain sensitive financial data. 

Disclosure of Information 

LLSSA does not sell, rent, or trade personal information. 

Information may be disclosed to trusted service providers who assist with association operations, website hosting, event management, communications, or payment processing, provided they are contractually obligated to maintain confidentiality. Information may also be shared with instructors, proctors, or regulatory bodies when required for education, certification, licensing, or compliance purposes. Disclosure may occur when required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or governmental authority, or when necessary to protect the rights, property, safety, or integrity of LLSSA, its members, or the public.

You may opt out of non-essential communications by using the unsubscribe link provided in the email or by contacting LLSSA directly. Transactional, compliance-related, or legally required communications may still be sent. 

Data Security 

LLSSA maintains reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or disclosure. While no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, LLSSA follows industry-appropriate practices for a nonprofit professional association. 

Data Retention 

LLSSA retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill association purposes, comply with legal and regulatory requirements, support education and certification records, and maintain appropriate financial and administrative documentation.
