We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the Web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only volunteers who need the information to perform a specific job (membership, or bookkeeping) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Membership & Registration Forms

We have various forms on our website to gather information on such things as Membership and Workshop/Event attendance. Users are required to give certain information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact you about the programs and events on our site in which you have expressed interest. At your option, you may also provide information on your volunteer interests and skills, but it is not required.

Payments & Donations

We process payments and donations to Brevard Watercolor Society, Inc. through our PayPal account, where you must provide contact information (such as name, email address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to complete your desired order (such as annual membership, event registration, newsletter mailing, charitable contribution, etc.). If we have trouble processing payment, we’ll use this information to contact you. PayPal does not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond filling your order.
