The Teamsters LGBTQ+ Caucus is committed to protecting your privacy. This page explains how the LGBTQ+ Caucus  handles information from visitors to our Web site and reflects our dedication to securing information you provide.

Personal Information

The only personal information lgbtqteamsters.org collects is what you voluntarily provide through online registration forms, purchases or e-mails. This information may include your name, e-mail address, street address, phone number, membership status and local union affiliation. 

The information you provide is used only to communicate with you (if you grant permission to do so) more effectively. Other information you submit through online forms is kept confidential. It will not be sold or shared with unaffiliated third parties, such as mass marketers.

Any third-party providers are required to protect the privacy of lgbtqteamsters.org members and site visitors. They must safeguard your information and can use it only to complete the purchases or tasks you’ve authorized.

Secure Transactions

Agreements with third-party vendors require they use secure servers and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to protect the transmission and processing of payments and financial information. These agreements state that the vendors may store your information in order to make future purchases easier. Review the privacy policies of each partner for more details

Visitor Tracking
