Consistent with the provisions of the Internet Security and Privacy Act, the Freedom of Information Law, and the Personal Privacy Protection Law, this policy describes TRS’ privacy practices regarding information collected from users of this website.

For purposes of this policy, “personal information” means any information concerning a natural person, which, because of name, number, symbol, mark, or other identifier, can be used to identify that natural person. TRS does not collect any personal information about a user unless the user provides that information voluntarily during a connection to the secure section of the TRS website.

TRS collects and uses personal information that you voluntarily provide for the purposes described below. By “personal information,” we mean information that, on its own, can specifically identify you. This includes your name, email address, mailing address, phone numbers, and TRS Membership/Retirement number. Any information you provide is collected and stored in a secure environment by TRS.

The information collected by TRS may be disclosed by TRS only for the purpose of providing information to the user, pertaining to the user, which was requested by the user.

This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. TRS uses Secure Socket Layer (256 bit SSL) encryption to protect the transmission of information you submit to us when you use our secure online forms. You are on a secure page when the lock icon on the bottom of web browsers, such as Microsoft Edge, becomes locked; the icon appears unlocked, or open, when you are just “surfing.”

By using this site, you signify your agreement to this Privacy Statement and consent to the collection and use of your information by TRS as described herein.
