In general, you may visit the MLA Web sites without providing any personal information. However, to provide certain online services, the MLA may request personal information in one or more of the ways listed below. Users are informed when information is to be collected and you have the option to not submit this information.
Any information provided at the Web site is kept secure.
Online membership, registration, and subscription forms. As a convenience to members, the MLA provides online forms for transactions such as membership renewal, convention registration, the purchase of MLA publications, and subscription to the Job Information List . The information collected on these forms may be shared with a third party for business purposes, such as a convention housing bureau that helps process the hotel reservation transactions. The MLA also selectively rents mailing lists of members, subscribers, or convention registrants to appropriate third parties, such as book publishers. Before renting a mailing list to a third party, the MLA reviews all the materials that will be mailed to ensure that they will be of professional interest to MLA members.
