AccessAbility SIG of STC: Privacy Policy for this Web Site

Some comments and instructions in this page are for audio browsers and users who browse this site with screen readers. If you can see this paragraph and you are not using a text-only or screen reader browser, either the style sheet for screen viewing didn't load (if so, click on "refresh" to reload the style sheet), or you need to use a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards-supporting browser that has full HTML 4.0.1 Strict and cascading style sheet (CSS) level 2 support. (For information about these browsers, see Standards-supporting browsers.) The Society for Technical Communication is a W3C member: http://www.w3.org/

For additional information, see the Accessibility Design and Features page.

Access keys are activated by pressing Alt (for Windows) or control (for Mac) and the access key character (in some browsers, the access keys are activated by releasing the Alt or control key, then pressing the access key character, then pressing the Enter key). The Tab key will also get you through the page.

Because Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) positioning rules are used in the style sheet, you may find that only Alt 1 (top) works in the latest visual browsers. All four keys should work in older browsers that don't support CSS positioning standards.

STC Privacy Policy

The Society for Technical Communication (STC) respects your privacy. This document outlines the ways that this STC A-SIG Web site may collect information from you.

Browsing the Site

Generally speaking, you can visit the pages of the A-SIG Web site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information.

There are portions of the STC Web site that do request personal information.

Web Form Pages

Some portions of the site require personal information in order for you to complete certain activities such as joining the discussion list or sending feedback. These pages will ask you to enter personal information such as your name, member number, mailing address, phone numbers, and e-mail address. The information that you type in these forms is necessary to complete the action for processing the form. We do not sell or pass this information on to any third parties.

Cookies

The A-SIG Web site uses a cookie to establish your style sheet preference. A cookie is a text file, stored on your computer. The default style is the Standard Contrast (black text on a white background).

A style cookie is not stored if you just click on a style button to view a different style for the page you are on.

A cookie will be permanently stored if you go to another page after clicking on a style sheet for High Contrast, Text, Text large font, or Audio.

If you decide that you don't always want High Contrast and a cookie has been set from a previous page or a previous session, you will need to remove the cookie to reset back to the default Standard Contrast style. Use your browser's Cookie Manager to view your cookies and delete the cookie with the "www.stcsig.org/sn" name. For additional information, see the Accessibility Design and Features page.

The A-SIG Web site does not use "Session" cookies to track your visit. Information is not saved for future visits.
