Protecting your privacy is important to Maryland Cannabis Policy Coalition. We are committed to keeping your personal information confidential.
WHY WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION
Maryland Cannabis Policy Coalition collects and uses personal information to provide individuals with news and information regarding Maryland Cannabis Policy Coalition. In addition, we use personal information (e.g. email address, city, and state) to keep email subscribers up-to-date on the latest marijuana policy news and information we think they’d like to hear about.
WHEN WE DISCLOSE CONTACT INFORMATION
Except as provided in this policy, Maryland Cannabis Policy Coalition will not share any of your personal information at any time with any organization. Given that Maryland Cannabis Policy Coalition is the largest marijuana policy reform organization in the United States, we may contact you on behalf of another organization doing work related to ours. These updates will be sent by Maryland Cannabis Policy Coalition personnel via Maryland Cannabis Policy Coalition’s secure system. Your personal information will only be handled by Maryland Cannabis Policy Coalition employees who are knowledgeable of all rules and policies regarding securely handling all information. They will protect your personal information in accordance with Maryland Cannabis Policy Coalition’s Privacy Policy.
Maryland Cannabis Policy Coalition occasionally allows other organizations to send mail to individuals on its lists. In these cases, lists containing only names and addresses (no contribution data or other personal information) are delivered to a third-party mailing house for one-time use for that organization’s mailing. To request that we never allow your contact information to be used even in this secure manner, please contact info@marylandcannabispolicy.org. If possible, please include your full name, postal address, phone number, and the email address at which you receive messages from Maryland Cannabis Policy Coalition.
Maryland Cannabis Policy Coalition is dedicated to providing a safe and secure environment for your personal information.
