From REIFA’s Members, Conference Registrants, and Other Customers. To gain access to members-only resources on reifa.org, members and other users are asked to register and provide some limited information. This information is submitted voluntarily, via applications, surveys, or e-mail. REIFA asks users to provide their name, organization name, phone number, and e-mail. Similar information may be submitted to REIFA through membership applications, conference or seminar registration, publication orders, subscriptions, and service requests.

When you request information, order a product or service, register using one of our forms, or contact us offline, we may need your specific information in order to process your registration/request and reply to your needs promptly. This information is used to process your transactions, fulfill your requests, and maintain our membership records.
