Publicly Sharing Your Information – The Natural Resources Council of Maine often receives information from website visitors who have used our resources or attended one of our events. In certain instances, we would like to publicly share the comments and stories we receive by posting this information on our website. We will not, however, publicly share ANY information we receive on our website without first receiving the express consent of the individual who submitted the information. Furthermore, we will not post information in any way that specifically identifies the sender of that information unless the sender approves it.
Other Security Measures - We provide our members and supporters with a secure experience when they are ordering memberships, making a donation, or buying merchandise. Our technical security measures include using industry standard 128bit encryption to secure the transfer of data between your browser and our servers. Although we will use all reasonable means to safeguard the privacy of your personal information, transmissions made via the Internet cannot be made absolutely secure.
When our forms ask users to enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected. Our site is secured by QuickSSL and is utilizing a 128-bit SSL certificate thereby offering the highest level of encryption or security possible. This means that communications between your browser and this site's Web servers are private and secure.
The Natural Resources Council of Maine reserves the right to amend this policy at any time.
