When you fill out a form to receive website updates or publications, become a member, give a donation, or send a question, we collect personally identifiable information (such as name, address, phone number and e-mail address). This information is entered into the SIU database so we can process your request.

The SIU does not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise retransmit any personally identifiable information we collect online without permission.

We value your information and your privacy, and have taken steps to assure that your data is secure with the SIU and that this information is kept confidential.
