Its privacy policy is at www.ala.org/home/privacystatement.htm, and there is also a link to some ALA political action pages at www.capwiz.com/ala/home, which includes links on the topics of National Security Letter oversight legislation and anti-national ID legislation, as well as other interesting matters.
