National Association of College Auxiliary Services (NACAS) is committed to protecting the privacy of our members, volunteers, and visitors to our website. In this policy, “we” or “NACAS” or “our” or “us” refers to NACAS staff, board members, and other volunteers, and the “Sites” refer to https://nacas.org and http://www.caspcert.org.
Information We Collect
NACAS may collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) when you interact with the Sites. PII may include: name, organization’s name, address, telephone number, facsimile number, e-mail address, and, if applicable, ADA needs, contact information for an emergency contact, credit card expiration date, credit card holder’s billing address, and name of credit card holder or checking account owner. The PII that we collect often occurs through prompts such as event registration forms, membership forms, online forms through the Sites, and/or email correspondence. NACAS may collect credit card or checking account numbers and verification codes for credit cards when used for payment. In addition, NACAS may collect PII from other sources, such as public records and, in some cases, combine that PII with other information you provide to NACAS. NACAS will disclose PII collected upon inquiry from the individual.
NACAS also collects technical information, such as anonymous browser information, from visitors to the Sites. Examples of this information include: the URL that referred a visitor, the domain from which a visitor is accessing the Internet, the time they accessed the Sites, the type of web browser and operating system or platform used, the names of the pages they visited while on the Sites, and the Internet address of the website they next visit.
A person may choose not to provide NACAS with any information. However, if that occurs, NACAS may not be able to process requests through the Sites, and the person may not be able to access many parts of our Sites.
If a person would like to unsubscribe from any of our services or would like to be removed from any of our online mailing lists, an e-mail should be sent to info@nacas.org. Please include the name and e-mail address of the person in question and the desired change in status in the body of the message.
NACAS may also provide a person with an opportunity to opt-out of some services in e-mail messages that the person receives.
How This Information Is Used
Apart from PII required for specific business transactions (e.g. membership applications, event registration forms), NACAS may host surveys and other platforms that collect PII and additional information. All information will be reported in aggregate, and PII will not be presented without prior consent of the individual or institution.
Information collected will not be used in ways inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
Resale or Disclosure of Information to Third Parties
We share and/or disclose limited categories of PII, including name, organization’s name, professional title, address, telephone number, facsimile number, and email address, with NACAS Business Partners, NACAS Exhibitors, and NACAS members. We never rent, sell, share, and/or disclose financial information to any entity other than NACAS-contracted third-party payment processors solely for processing of payments to NACAS.
When a person registers for an event, NACAS may share and/or disclose limited categories of PII, including name, organization’s name, professional title, city, state, and email address, to all event attendees.
For current CASP designees in good standing, NACAS shares and/or discloses limited categories of PII, including first name, last name, institution, region, and the good thru date of their designation.
Occasionally, we may send the information that we gather to third parties to organize, process, and/or analyze. We use this information solely for the purpose of enhancing the offerings of our websites, primarily to tailor advertisements, updates, and point-earnings/spending offers to a person’s particular interests. Additionally, we reserve the right to disclose information: (i) as may be permitted or required by law or based on our good faith belief that it is necessary to conform or to comply with the law, or by order of a court or an authorized administrative agency or (ii) as may be necessary to protect our rights or property.

Digital Advertising & Analytics
