These log files may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track a user’s movement in the aggregate and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device's operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by Instagram.
A device identifier may deliver information to us or to a third-party partner about how you browse and use the Service and may help us or others provide reports or personalized content and ads. Some features of the Service may not function properly if use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.

In certain circumstances to fully address your concern it may be necessary to share your email with those outside of Pi Beta Phi who may be involved in the issue you raise. Such individuals could include a college administrator or an official at another sorority or the National Panhellenic Conference. If you do not want us to share your communication outside of Pi Beta Phi, please tell us that in your communication.

This Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Pi Beta Phi Fraternity does not own or control, or to people that Pi Beta Phi Fraternity does not employ or manage.

SSL AND DATA ENCRYPTION
We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology to protect your personal information. You are required to sign on to the Members-Only website. Existing account holders are prompted for their ID (your email address) and password. This password is for your protection. If you don't have your password, there is a link that reads "Lost your password?" Click on this for instructions on how to get your password.
Sensitive information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just 'surfing'.
