Los Angeles County Medical Association Privacy Policy
Los Angeles County Medical Association (LACMA) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information through our website and services, including our text messaging program.
Using our website or providing a phone number does not automatically enroll you in marketing text messages. SMS enrollment requires your separate consent.
Collection of Your Personal Information
LACMA collects personal information you provide, such as your name, email address, mailing address, and telephone number. We may also collect demographic information, preferences, and interests.
When you visit our website, we may automatically collect information about your device and browsing activity, including your IP address, browser type, domain name, access times, and referring website addresses. We use this information to operate the website, maintain service quality, and understand how visitors use our services.
If you subscribe to text messages, we collect your mobile phone number and information documenting your consent and messaging preferences.
Information you post in public areas of our website may be collected and used by others. Please avoid posting sensitive personal information in those areas.
Use of Your Personal Information
LACMA uses your information to operate its website, deliver requested services, manage membership and event-related activities, respond to inquiries, and communicate about relevant programs and resources.
We may also use your information to conduct surveys, improve our services, and personalize website content based on your interests and activity.
LACMA may contact you about offerings from its affiliates or external business partners. When we contact you on behalf of an external partner, we do not transfer your personal information to that partner.
Marketing text messages are sent only with your consent, as described below.
Sharing of Your Personal Information
LACMA does not sell, rent, or lease its customer or membership lists to third parties.
We may share information with trusted service providers that help us operate our services, perform statistical analysis, send email or postal communications, provide customer support, or arrange deliveries. These providers may use your information only to perform services for LACMA and are required to maintain its confidentiality.
LACMA does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
LACMA may disclose personal information when required by law or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with legal process, protect LACMA’s rights or property, or protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
The general sharing categories described above do not authorize sharing SMS opt-in data or consent for other parties’ use. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties, excluding aggregators and providers of the Text Message services.
SMS Communications and Consent
If you opt in to LACMA’s text messaging program, you may receive messages about events, membership, practice resources, and other LACMA programs consistent with the consent you provide.
SMS consent is optional and is not a condition of purchase. Providing your phone number, becoming a member, or registering for an event does not by itself constitute consent to receive marketing text messages.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to a message. You may receive a final message confirming your opt-out. Reply HELP for assistance.
LACMA does not sell, rent, or share SMS opt-in data or consent with third parties, affiliates, or non-affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. SMS opt-in data and consent may be shared only with aggregators and providers of our text messaging services as needed to operate the program. These providers are not authorized to use this information for their own marketing.

Security of Your Personal Information
LACMA uses reasonable safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure.
Links to Other Websites
Our website may link to websites operated by other organizations. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
LACMA is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites. We encourage you to review their policies before providing personal information.
Changes to This Policy
LACMA may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our services and practices. We encourage you to review it periodically. Changes to this policy do not, by themselves, constitute your consent to receive marketing text messages.
