Privacy Policy

Last updated April 2026

What we collect

• Membership data — name, email, phone (optional), mailing address, professional background you provide at application.
• Course progress — lesson completions, quiz scores, capstone submissions, CE credit log.
• Payment data — handled by Stripe. We never see your card number. We retain payment status, amount, and purpose.
• Directory listing — the public fields you publish on your CIAC profile (bio, headshot, website, service areas, specialties). These are intentionally public.
• Server logs — IP, user-agent, referrer. Retained for up to 90 days.

How we use it

• To run the association — membership, credentialing, CE tracking, directory publishing.
• To send transactional and member-communications email.
• To comply with our obligations under tax and business law.
• To investigate reported ethics complaints about a CIAC.

What we do not do

• We do not sell your personal data.
• We do not serve third-party advertising.
• We do not share member contact information with marketers or training-program competitors.

Data shared with ADAConsultant.com

Your public CIAC profile fields (name, slug, bio, specialties, service areas, headshot, credential status) are displayed on ADAConsultant.com — that is the point of the membership. Your private data (payment history, course progress, CE log) is not shared.
