Privacy Policy

The New Mexico Geological Society has a firm commitment to your privacy. We do not collect any personally identifiable information (e.g., name, address, or telephone number) unless you voluntarily provide it. Unless we determine that you are attempting to gain unauthorized access (hack) or damage our technology infrastructure, we will never share any personal information about you or your activity on our sites with a third party without your consent.

All of our content is suitable for children, with sufficient interest, and some is intended specifically for K-12 teachers and children. However, at this time, we do not intentionally collect personal information from children under 13. We will be happy to respond to a one-time specific request for information via e-mail from children (in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998). Furthermore, we assume that any information provided to us for purchases made through our site is by adults, or is made with adult consent, because of the use of a credit card or personal check for payment.

Server Logs

Like virtually every Web site, we do automatically collect certain information in our server logs such as:

• Domain, country, IP address
• Browser, platform, resolution
• Entrance-exit pages, referrals
• Date, time
• Search terms and search engines

We do generate statistics for internal use from our logs to help us better serve our visitors. However, no data specific to an individual access of our site will be shared with any third party without your consent.

File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

If you access our site via anonymous file transfer protocol, we will record information similar to what our Web server records (IP address, files transferred, etc.). We may also store your e-mail address if your Web browser is configured to provide it (you can configure this behavior through your browser preferences).

Cookies

Some of our pages use cookies, which are very small files stored on your computer to record information about your site preferences. If you choose to disable cookies, our site will still work, but with some features disabled.

E-mail or Web Forms

If you send us e-mail or submit a Web form requesting information, we may forward your message to the current officer can best answer your questions. We do not compile lists of e-mail addresses from these requests for information and we will never distribute your personal contact information to third parties without your consent. Generally, e-mail is retained only long enough to respond to your request. However, e-mail may be archived by automated backups of our systems.

Opting Out of Receiving Unsolicited Mail or E-mail

If you have purchased publications from us, we may infrequently want to contact you regarding new publications that you might be interested in. Should you receive such mail from us that you don't want to receive in the future, we will provide an opt-out link to remove your name from our mailing list. We realize that unsolicited mail is often unwelcome, and will respect your wishes by not contacting you again.
