Privacy Policy
The Royal Canadian Numismatic Association (RCNA/ARNC) is committed to protecting and safeguarding your privacy.
Your Personal Information
Personal information like your name, address, phone number and e-mail address is obtained only when voluntarily submitted when you sign up as a member or place an order. We only collect personal information for the purposes of communicating with you.
How we protect your Personal Information
RCNA/ARNC is concerned about the security of your information. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

We use PayPal to process payments; we do not store credit card data on our servers. Your payment information and email is subject to PayPal's privacy policies.
How We Share It
The RCNA/ARNC will not trade, sell or share any personal information. By voluntarily supplying us with contact information on the RCNA/ARNC membership application form, in contact through e-mails, or by allowing us to send you RCNA/ARNC E-Bulletins, you are not authorizing us to use this information for any purpose other than what it was intended for.
The only exceptions, unless you advise us otherwise, are: a) if you send us an article or a Letter to the Editor, we will publish your name and membership number, and b) if the contents of an e-mail to the RCNA/ARNC NumisNotes Editor is published, we will reveal your name only unless you authorize us to also publish your e-mail address so people can contact you.
Emails
The email address you provide when you become a member may be used to send you information and updates pertaining to your membership, your order, or general RCNA/ARNC news. If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, we include an Unsubscribe link at the bottom of each email. You can also email info@rcna.ca or numisnotes@rcna.ca to update your email address, or to request that we unsubscribe your email.
