The Transload Distribution Association of North America (“TDANA,” “we,” “us”) is a nonprofit trade association. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through tdana.com (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us. When you join or renew a membership, register for our annual conference, request a sponsorship, sign up for updates, or contact us, we collect what you enter in the form. This usually includes your name, title, company, business email, phone, mailing address, member type, and any notes you add. Conference registration may also ask for guest names, golf and activity selections, and dietary or accessibility needs.
Payment information. Card payments for dues and conference registration are processed by our payment processor, Authorize.net. TDANA does not store full card numbers on the Site. We keep a record of the transaction (amount, date, what was purchased, and the last four digits of the card).
Member directory information. If your company is a member, we publish business information you provide for the Member Directory and Transload Rail Dashboard, such as company name, member type, facility locations, phone, website, rail lines served, equipment, services, and commodities handled.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, the Site and our hosting provider record basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and referring pages. We use cookies needed for the Site to work, and we may use analytics tools to understand how the Site is used.
2. How we use information
- To process memberships, dues, and conference registrations, and to send receipts and confirmations.
- To run the annual conference, including badges, attendee lists, meal counts, and activity sign-ups.

3. How we share information
We do not sell personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run the Site, conference partners, members and the public for published directory information, and when required by law.
4. Retention
We keep membership, registration, and payment records as long as needed for association operations and for tax, accounting, and legal purposes, and then delete or de-identify them.
5. Your choices
You may ask us to update or correct your information, remove your company’s directory listing, or stop sending you marketing email. Contact us using the details below.
6. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections and a PCI-compliant payment processor. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
