The National Art Education Association is committed
to respecting your privacy. This privacy policy governs
our collection and use of personal and business information
collected from visitors to our website, through our
email and regular mail correspondence, telephone calls,
and faxes, and reflects our policies toward privacy
in respect to all other means of gathering and disseminating

Our policy is to use any and all data collected by
any means, whether through the Internet, email, our
online database and/or any interactive forms or surveys
only for such uses that are important to our organization
and our cause, in light of the professional standards
required and expected from nonprofit organizations.
Your phone number, mail and e-mail addresses are confidential
so we never share either type of list with outside parties.
We do publish a directory of NAEA staff and a directory
of NAEA Board of Directors on our website. NAEA member
lists are accessed only for the purpose of upgrading
our computer systems or distributing National Art Education
Association newsletters, publicity campaigns, alerts,
correspondence, event notifications, or other professional
communications that help us accomplish our mission as
a nonprofit organization. NAEA reserves the right to
lease member mail addresses to art and art education
vendors, including the Trust for Insuring Educators
(TIE); however, members have the right to opt out of
this list rental service by notifying the NAEA office.
NAEA provides mail addresses to state associations contracted
for dues collection purposes. The major purpose of this
is for use with state newsletters, ballots, elections,
and the like.
