Personal Information
"Personal Information" is information that would allow someone to identify or
contact you, including, for example, your full name, address, telephone number,
Social Security number, or email address. Personal Information does not include
aggregated information that, by itself, does not permit the identification of
individual persons (like statistics about how many persons visited our web site
last month, or how many visitors are male and how many are female).
If you feel that NRMCA is not abiding by its Privacy Policy, you should contact
us by e-mail: privacy@NRMCA.org.
Acceptance
This Privacy Policy applies to use of the NRMCA website and other sites operated
by NRMCA. This Privacy Policy only addresses activities from our servers and
those of our contractors that serve our sites. Other sites (including those that
we link to and third party sites or services which we may co-brand) may have
their own policies, which we do not control, and thus are not addressed or
controlled by this policy.
Please note that if you provide any information on your own or directly to
parties who provide service to our web site or any other sites you encounter on
the Internet (even if these sites are identified with our branding), different
rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the Personal Information you
disclose to them. We encourage you to investigate and ask questions before
disclosing information to third parties.
(1) What Personal Information Is Collected
You may provide certain Personal Information to us in a number of ways,
including when you: (a) register for services, (b) register for free newsletters
or other information, (c) complete questionnaires or surveys, (d) order products
and services from us and (e) send email messages, submit forms or send other
information to us. In addition, through the NRMCA Web sites or by other means,
we encourage members and users to provide company information and contact
information for some employees. This information is used to contact employees
about NRMCA services for which they may have a targeted interest. It is optional
for you to provide such Personal Information, but encouraged so that NRMCA can
provide more personalized value to users and employees of members.
If you choose to pay for NRMCA services by credit card, you will be required to
provide us the name of your credit card issuer, credit card number and
expiration date.
We may use a feature of your browser called a "cookie." A cookie is apiece of
data stored on your hard drive containing information about you. Usage of a
cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on
our site. One type of cookie that we may use, a "session cookie," assigns an
unique number that automatically identifies your computer when you visit the
site. Once you close your browser, the session cookie simply terminates and is
not saved on your computer disk drive. For instance, by setting a session cookie
on our site, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby
saving time while on our site. The second type of cookie that we may use is an
"affiliate cookie." This cookie is created on your computer only if you access
our site from one of our affiliates. The affiliate cookie remains on your
computer unless you intentionally remove it. However, like session cookies,
affiliate cookies contain no information about you that can be linked to any
personally identifiable information.
(2) Who Collects the Personal Information
NRMCA, which owns and operates the NRMCA web sites, is the organization that
collects Personal Information on our site. Our mailing address is:
NRMCA
900 Spring Street
Silver Spring, MD 20910
Our customer service email address is
customerservice@NRMCA.org.
(3) How the Personal Information Is Used
We use your Personal Information to provide you with content and services that
are tailored specifically to the profile you provide.
We do not sell or provide your Personal Information to third-party marketers or
other third parties unless you expressly agree in advance to let us do so
(“opt-in”). In particular, we do not use your credit card information (if you
choose to provide it to us) for any purpose other than payment processing and
order confirmation.
We use your information on an aggregated basis (not personally identifiable) to
do such things as operate our site, enhance our site and deliver messages. We
may disclose aggregated information about our users but that information
contains no Personal Information.
(4) With whom the Personal Information may be shared
Although your privacy is very important to us, due to legal rules beyond our
control, we cannot fully ensure that your private communications and other
Personal Information will not be disclosed to third parties. For example, we may
be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties under
certain circumstances, including sharing information with law enforcement to
identify those individuals who use this site for fraudulent or other illegal
activities. Additionally, in the unlikely event we need to investigate or
resolve possible problems or inquiries, we can, and you authorize us to,
disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government
officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate. In
addition, we may share Personal Information with our contractors on a
need-to-know basis in order to maintain our services provided that such
contractors have agreed to the non-disclosure and confidentiality requirements
that are consistent with the NRMCA Privacy Policy.
(5) The Choices Available to Users Regarding Collection, Use and Distribution of
the Personal Information
You are given the opportunity to “opt-in” to having your information used for
purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the
information. For example, our registration form may include an “opt-in”
mechanism so only those users who wish to share Personal Information with
companies other than NRMCA can authorize distribution of that information to
third parties.
You may also “opt-out” of receiving non-essential communications directly from
NRMCA. If you no longer wish to receive our non-service related mailings, you
may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to the email and
placing "unsubscribe" in the subject line of the email or email us at
privacy@NRMCA.org.
(6) How Users Can Correct Any Inaccuracies in the Personal Information
If Personal Information changes, or if you no longer desire that we maintain any
Personal Information about you, we will provide a way for you to correct, update
or remove your Personal Information. This can usually be done for you at the
member information page or by emailing our Customer Support or
privacy@NRMCA.org.
(7) What Kind of Security Procedures We Use to Protect the Loss, Misuse, or
Alteration of Your Personal Information Under Our Control
NRMCA takes precautions to protect our users' information. When users submit
sensitive information via our website, that information is protected both online
and off-line.
When our registration and personal profile forms ask users to enter Personal
Information, that information is protected using industry-standard SSL
encryption. While on a secure page, such as our profile form, the lock icon on
the bottom of Web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked,
as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just browsing.
SSL is an acronym for Secure Sockets Layer, and is a protocol for transmitting
private documents via the Internet. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt
data that's transferred over the SSL connection. Most major browsers support SSL.
Technical information on SSL can be found at
http://home.netscape.com/eng/ssl3/ssl-toc.html.
We hope this policy clarifies our procedures regarding your Personal
Information. If you have any questions about the security at our website or
facilities, please send an email to: privacy@NRMCA.org.
