Political and Membership Information
We recognize that membership in, support for, or interaction with a political organization can be sensitive personal information.
New Brunswick Now takes reasonable steps to protect this information and to restrict access to individuals who require it for legitimate organizational purposes.
Membership information will not be published simply because an individual becomes a member, supporter or volunteer unless the individual has agreed to the disclosure or disclosure is required by law.
Sharing of Information
New Brunswick Now does not sell personal information.
We may provide limited information to trusted service providers when necessary to operate our organization or website. These may include website hosting, email, form-processing, payment-processing and other technology providers.
Service providers are expected to use information only for the purposes for which it was provided and in accordance with their applicable privacy and security obligations.
We may also disclose information when required by law or by an authorized election, regulatory or law-enforcement authority.
Payments and Contributions
Where online payments or contributions are enabled, transactions may be processed by a third-party payment provider such as Stripe.
Payment-card information entered directly into a payment provider’s system is handled by that provider. New Brunswick Now does not intend to store complete credit-card or debit-card numbers on its website.
We may retain transaction information made available to us by the payment provider where necessary for financial administration, recordkeeping or compliance with applicable requirements.
Email and Communications
People who provide their email address may receive communications from New Brunswick Now depending on the purpose for which the address was provided and any consent given.
Recipients may unsubscribe from general electronic communications by using an unsubscribe option when provided or by contacting New Brunswick Now.
Certain administrative communications relating to an active membership, transaction or request may still be necessary.
