As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, the Adjutant General’s Corps Regimental Association (AGCRA) values its users’ privacy. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) will help you understand how we collect and use personal information from those who visit our website or use our online facilities and services, and what we will and will not do with the information we collect.
Our Policy has been designed and created to ensure those affiliated with AGCRA of our commitment and realization of our obligation to go beyond most existing privacy standards. We reserve the right to change this Policy at any given time. To ensure you are up to date with the latest changes, we advise you to visit this webpage frequently. If, at any point in time, AGCRA decides to use any personally identifiable information on file, in a manner vastly different from that stated when this information was initially collected, the user or users shall be promptly notified by email. Users at that time shall have the option to permit the use of their information in this separate manner.
This Policy applies to the entire AGCRA and governs all data collection and usage by us. Through the use of https://www.agcra.com/, you are therefore consenting to the data collection procedures expressed in this Policy.
Please note that this Policy does not govern the collection and use of information by companies that AGCRA does not control, nor by individuals not employed or managed by us. If you visit a website that we mention or link to, be sure to review its privacy policy before providing the site with information. It is highly recommended and suggested that you review the privacy policies and statements of any website you choose to use or frequent to better understand how websites garner, make use of, and share the information collected.

Please rest assured that our website will only collect personal information that you knowingly and willingly provide us through completed membership forms, surveys, and emails. Our site intends to use personal information only for the purpose for which it was requested, and any additional uses specifically provided for on this Policy.
Why We Collect Information and For How Long. We are collecting your data for several reasons:
