CLDA collects data from members and customers with the intention of providing the best level of service. It is our overall policy to collect only personally identifiable information that you knowingly provide. The types of personal information we collect may include your name, postal address, email address, phone number, date of birth, education and employment information. We may collect additional personal information from you on occasion as needs arise.

When a visitor performs a search within our website, CLDA may record information identifying the visitor or linking the visitor to the search performed. We may also record limited information associated with every search request made by a visitor. That information is used to, among other things, solve technical problems with the service and to calculate overall usage statistics.

Right to erasure: You have the right to request us to erase or remove your personal data. We will do so in situations that are lawful and if there are no legal obligations to maintain it. If we shared your personal data with third parties, we will seek to inform them of the erasure request and, if lawful, tell you with whom we shared the data.
Right to restrict processing: You have the right to request the restriction or suppression of processing your personal data in certain circumstances.

We also have legitimate interests in providing you information on organizational updates and new products and services. When we process your personal data for our legitimate interests, we make sure to consider and balance any potential impact on you and your rights under data protection laws.

You have the right to object to processing that is based on our legitimate interests.
Right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling: You have the right not to be subject to any decision based solely on automated processing of your personal data.
