The CCMA respects the privacy concerns of CCMA.org users, and has created this privacy statement to explain what information is gathered from your visit to CCMA.org and how such information may be used.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Here are the key highlights of this privacy policy:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As a user, you do not need to sign-up.<\/li>\n<li>We do not sell or give-away personal or financial information.<\/li>\n<li>We do not track your browsing habits or pass any information along to third parties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n            <\/div>\n                <div class=\"legal-content larger\">\n            <h3><strong>1. Use Of Information<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CCMA.org uses various forms for you to request information, products, and services. We collect contact information (such as your name, mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address), and when appropriate, financial information (your credit card number) to process your request or purchase. Contact information from an order form is used to fulfill orders, and to provide information about our organization to you if requested. The contact information is also used to get in touch with you when necessary regarding your request or order. Your personal information may be shared with our Board of Directors, Committees, and staff to assess membership applications and to provide you with our services, as needed. Financial information that is collected is used to process your request for products and services, and will not be shared with third parties who are not involved with the transaction. When credit card information is transmitted we use industry standard, SSL (secure socket layer) encryption. Your credit card number is erased once the transaction has been completed!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As a general policy no personally identifiable information \u2013 such as your name, address, or e-mail address \u2013 is automatically collected from your visit to CCMA.org. However, certain non-personal information is recorded by the standard operation of CCMA.org. Information such as the type of browser being used, its operating system, and your IP address is gathered in order to enhance your online experience. Your personal information may be shared, stored or accessed outside of Canada and may be subject to the laws of other countries.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CCMA.org may disclose user information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference (either intentionally or unintentionally) with CCMA\u2019s rights or property, other CCMA.org users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Your personal information is kept for as long as it is reasonably needed or relevant for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Once your personal information is no longer reasonably necessary, or relevant for the identified purposes, or required by law to be retained, your personal information will be destroyed or erased.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Use Of Cookies<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to an individual\u2019s computer hard drive for record keeping purposes. Cookies make using this site possible. As an example, we use session cookies to keep track of your shopping cart when you visit CCMA.org. These cookies are restricted for use only on CCMA.org, and do not transfer any personal information to any other party. Most browsers are initially set up to accept session cookies; however, you can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. (Note: you will need to consult the help area of your browser application for instructions.) If you choose to disable your cookies setting or refuse to accept a cookie, some parts of CCMA.org will not function properly or may be considerably slower. For example, without cookies, you may have difficulty completing shopping, and completing transactions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Links To Other Sites<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CCMA.org is not responsible for the content or practices of third party websites that may be linked to or from our Site. Visitors to these web sites should refer to each website\u2019s respective privacy policies and practices.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Choice\/opt-out<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>CCMA.org may provide you the opportunity to opt-in to receive communications from us at the point where we request information about you. You always have the option of removing your name from any e-mail list to not receive future communications. In order to ensure immediate removal from any list, it is best to follow the specific instructions outlined within the communications you receive from us. However, if you are unable to complete the process indicated in the communications, then just send us an e-mail at country@ccma.org with a copy of the undesired email attached to the request and state you wish to be removed from the mailing list.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5.
