Effective Date: December 2025
IAM Local 706 (“Local 706,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects the privacy of our members and users.
This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, stored, and protected when you
use our websites, applications, and AI-powered chat tools, including the Ask Bruno chat assistant.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide
- Chat messages and inquiries
- Uploaded documents or files
- Member update requests and forms
- Grievance-related submissions
Users are instructed not to submit passwords, financial information, medical data,
or other highly sensitive personal information through Ask Bruno or related tools.
Automatically Collected Information
- Session identifiers
- Authentication status (logged-in or approved member)
- Device and browser information (user agent)
- Timestamps and usage logs
- IP address (via standard server logs)
We do not collect precise location data, biometric identifiers, or payment information.
2. How We Use Information
Information is used solely to:
- Respond to member questions and requests
- Provide contract, policy, and reference information
- Process grievance and administrative workflows
- Maintain system security and integrity
- Improve accuracy, reliability, and system performance
We do not use personal data for advertising, profiling, marketing, or cross-site tracking.
3. AI and Automated Processing
Some interactions are processed using artificial intelligence systems to generate responses.
AI outputs are generated based on user input and predefined reference materials.
AI-generated responses are informational only and are not a substitute for official union
determinations, contractual interpretation, or professional advice.
4. Data Sharing and Third Parties
Information may be processed using trusted service providers strictly for operational purposes,
including:
- AI and language processing services
- Secure database and storage providers
- Email delivery services
- Infrastructure and hosting providers
Data is never sold and is not shared for advertising, analytics tracking, or
behavioral profiling purposes.
5. Data Retention
Information is retained only as long as necessary to support union operations,
legal obligations, auditing requirements, and system integrity.
Certain records may be retained in accordance with union governance requirements.
6. Local Device Storage
To maintain a consistent chat experience, Ask Bruno may store limited conversation data
locally on the user’s device. This locally stored data remains under the user’s control
and is not transmitted to IAM Local Lodge 706 unless explicitly submitted by the user.
Users may remove locally stored data by logging out, clearing application data,
or uninstalling the application.
7. Access Environment Considerations
To protect member privacy and confidential union communications, access to Ask Bruno
and related tools may be limited when used from employer-managed devices, networks,
or virtual private networks (VPNs).
This evaluation is performed solely to reduce the risk of inadvertent disclosure of
confidential union communications and is not used for advertising, monitoring, or
profiling purposes.
8. Data Security
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect data
from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. While reasonable security measures
are employed, no system can guarantee absolute security.
9. Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information,
subject to applicable union record-keeping obligations.
Requests may be submitted using the contact information below.
10. Tracking and Advertising
We do not track users across websites or applications.
We do not use data for targeted advertising.
We do not participate in cross-app tracking as defined by Apple’s
App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework.
11. iOS and Mobile Users
This Privacy Policy applies equally to users accessing our services through iOS,
Android, embedded web views, or related mobile applications.
