Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 2026

At the Clan Fraser Society of North America® (CFSNA®), we value your privacy as deeply as we value our heritage. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website, interact with our digital platforms, or join our community.

​

1. Information We Collect

We do not collect personal information from general website visitors without their consent. However, to provide our core services, we collect specific data when you actively engage with us:

  • Membership & Lineage Data: When you choose to become a member, we collect contact details, demographic data, and specific genealogical/lineage information via our sign-up questionnaire to assign appropriate membership statuses (e.g., "Regular Member" vs. "Associate").

  • Financial Transactions: If you pay annual dues or purchase merchandise via our mobile festival store, your payment information is processed securely. We facilitate payments through trusted gateways, including Credit Card processors and PayPal.

  • Automated Analytics: We monitor aggregated, non-identifiable website traffic to help us analyze the effectiveness of our engagement campaigns and improve user experience.

​

2. How We Use Your Information

The information shared with CFSNA® is used exclusively to support our organization’s mission of promoting Scottish heritage. Specifically, we use your data to:

  • Process annual memberships and maintain secure access to the Member-Only portal.

  • Fulfill digital interactions and process physical merchandise orders for pick-up at our hospitality tents.

  • Respond directly to your inquiries and communicate organization updates.

​

3. Third-Party Services

We proudly maintain a strict policy of never selling or distributing your personal data to outside individuals or marketing organizations. However, to operate a modern digital platform, we do utilize secure, industry-standard third-party infrastructure (such as Wix Studio, PayPal, and standard analytical tools) strictly for website hosting, payment processing, and internal analytics.

​

4. Data Protection & Security

We implement robust digital security measures to ensure that your historical data, contact information, and membership status remain protected within our secure portal. Member resources are strictly gated and accessible only to logged-in, verified users.
