This statement discloses the privacy
practices for the Minnesota Society of Certified Public Accountants,
Inc. (MNCPA) Web site, whose domain name is
www.mncpa.org. Questions regarding this statement should be directed
via email to webmaster@mncpa.org.
The MNCPA has adopted the following information management
guidelines, which are based on our existing policies for protecting
members' privacy. These guidelines will occasionally change as our
online business model continues to evolve.
Account information
When ordering, subscribing or registering for a
product (including educational programs, ExamTracker accounts, special
services, listserves and other interactive forums) on the MNCPA's Web
site, you are asked to provide the following information:
-
Name
-
Mailing address
-
Email address
-
Telephone number
-
Certification status
MNCPA members and
nonmembers who are registered for educational courses can
update their records and
other information at any time.
The MNCPA does not release Internet addresses or
provide any other personal information to any third party, with the
exception of authorized MNCPA affiliates who have been engaged or
endorsed by the MNCPA, with approval from the MNCPA Board of Directors,
to provide specific services to members.
Accessing your account
Customers may select and change their usernames and passwords.
When logging in, if you choose to select the box "Remember me on this
computer," a cookie will be stored on your computer. Each time you visit
the MNCPA Web site, the cookie will be used to automatically log you
into your account. The MNCPA does not track any other information with
this cookie. If you no longer wish to use the "Remember me" function,
simply click on the "Log out" button and the cookie will be removed.
When you select the "Remember me" option on a particular computer,
other users of that computer will be able to access your account without
logging in. We therefore urge you not to select the "Remember me" option
on public computers, such as those at libraries. You should also use the
"Log out" button after each session on such computers.
Mailing lists
The MNCPA will remove any user's name (and his or her personal
information) from any mailing list, Web page or listserve upon request.
To request that your name be removed from any listing, please contact
membership@mncpa.org.
CPE Log
CPE Log information is occasionally analyzed by internal MNCPA staff
for market research. When course data is analyzed, the information is
aggregated and personal identifiers are removed. This information is
used to improve CPE offerings for MNCPA members.
eDiscussion Groups
The MNCPA provides eDiscussion Groups and other interactive forums
for members. The MNCPA provides suggested guidelines for appropriate and
acceptable behavior on these electronic forums, and asks each
participant to follow these guidelines. While staff occasionally
monitors these interactive forums and deletes postings that violate
usage the guidelines, the MNCPA is not responsible for content submitted
by participants.
Photo release
MNCPA or its contractors may photograph or videotape MNCPA
events. Attendees agree to allow their image to be used in MNCPA
publications, Web site and marketing materials. Images may also
be shared with the media. Attendance at MNCPA events waives the
MNCPA from liability resulting from these uses.
Firm administrator accounts
Firm administrator accounts allow a company or firm to access and
manage select MNCPA account information of its employees, both members
and non-members. Firm administrators can make or cancel CPE
registrations, make CPE and dues payments, add in-house CPE credits to
member CPE Logs, print CPE transcripts, and view ExamTracker accounts.
They can update the following information: office contact information,
email address, position, exam status, and home address.
Firm administrator accounts are granted by written request to firm
administrators, CPE managers, office managers, and others who manage a
firm or company’s CPE. All firm administrator account requests are
verified by MNCPA staff.
When an account is established, an e-mail will be sent to all
employees on record allowing the option to block firm administrator
access. Access can be added or blocked at any time.
When an employee leaves the firm and updates his or her office
address information with the MNCPA, the firm administrator will no
longer have access to the account.
Contact
registrations@mncpa.org
with questions regarding the firm administrator account.

Transactions made on the MNCPA website using a credit card are secure. Click on
the Xramp logo to verify our secure status.
Links
The MNCPA is not responsible for content or policies that may be
associated with any Web site or online company to which MNCPA may be
linked.
