What information does CCMC collect?
The information collected by CCMC can be classified into three categories: General Contact Information, Transaction Information and Electronic Identification Information.General Contact Information: While navigating CCMC websites is, for the most part, anonymous, the collection of personal information is at times necessary. Presently, CCMC only collects contact information when a visitor is registering for an event hosted by CCMC. In the future, CCMC may expand the use of its websites to include the sale of other products and/or services, at which point the collection of general contact information may be required for shipping and/or billing.
Transaction Information: CCMC does not process electronic commerce transactions for products and/or services being sold on websites maintained by CCMC. Instead, CCMC maintains a relationship with a third party e-commerce company that collects your personal and credit card data, and completes the transaction through their secure server infrastructure. Following each transaction (or transaction attempt), CCMC is supplied with a report that shows the completion status of the transaction, time and date of the transaction, the purchase amount, the cardholder’s name, type of credit card used, the first and last four digits of the card number used, and a variety of transaction identifier codes. CCMC maintains a record of all transaction reports in the event of refunds, voids, or disputed charges.
Electronic Identification Information: CCMC keeps track of the pages viewed by visitors to its websites in order to determine which sites and pages are the most popular. Additionally, CCMC maintains a log of incoming and outgoing traffic on websites maintained by CCMC, which contains information that may be able to identify your computer or organization. This information is maintained in the event of disputed charges that require further investigation.
How does CCMC use my information?
All information collected by CCMC is used for specific business activities. The primary use of our contact database will be to notify you about upcoming CCMC activities, new features available on our websites, or new services being offered by CCMC that may be of interest to you. We also maintain records of transactions and log computer traffic through our websites in order to effectively deal with any transaction issues that may arise (refunds, voids, and disputed charges).All data collected is for the sole use of CCMC and it’s staff, except when CCMC is authorized by you or required by law during an investigation.
