TSPRA will not disclose your personal information to any outside organization for its use for marketing without your consent.
TSPRA may be required to disclose personal information in connection with law enforcement, fraud prevention, regulation and legal actions, or if TSPRA reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to protect the Association, its members or the public.

No TSPRA member is to publish member information in printed directories or in a visible format except for their own personal use.
TSPRA members may not sell, trade or give away member information to any outside organization, business or nonmember, nor use member information in the pursuit of business and other activities not under TSPRA's control. Such use of TSPRA member information for some other affiliation or business relationship will be considered a conflict of interest and will result in loss of membership privileges.
