Your personal data

Collection. We collect contact information from visitors using explicit forms – for instance membership renewals, NM Junior Academy of Science (NMJAS) registration, or the contact form. NMJAS data is generally collected from minors. We never collect sensitive information such as birthdays, sexual orientation, salaries, or social security numbers.

Usage and sharing. The collected information is used solely for the purpose of communication and record-keeping. Membership data is shared to our newsletter database. NMJAS data is shared with regional directors. Other submissions are shared appropriately such as to the Awards committee or Journal editor. We will never sell this information, use it for marketing, or pass it to third parties with no connection to NMAS.

Tracking. Each visit to our website is tracked for the purposes of knowing our audience and reach. This information includes location, IP number, page visited, and type of electronic device. It is managed by JetPack, a WordPress product, and is not integrated with other tracking services such as Amazon, or AI agents. We may use Google APIs for location and mail services. They will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Storage. Collected data is stored in a password-protected space on our web server. It may be archived until it is no longer useful.

Links to external websites

Our website does not have paid advertising. Any links that result in leaving the NMAS domain are not tracked on our side and we do not receive any money from those links.

What are your rights?

You have the right to withdraw your consent to storage of your personal information. These rights are governed by current applicable law. To request to review, update, or delete your personal information, please contact us at nmas@nmas.org.

If you are concerned about data privacy, most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage, no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Notice.
