WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal Information is information that refers to an identifiable individual and is recorded in any form. Personal information does not include “Contact Information” (the type of information that one would find on a business card, in a phone book or a directory).

The information we collect from you is used solely for the reasons described above and is not shared or sold to other organizations.
SECURITY
We keep your information safe with restricted access areas, secure servers and password-protected computer systems with encrypted windows so that only authorized individuals can view your information. Employees with such access have been advised how to keep your information confidential.

No personal information will be disclosed without written consent of the individual the personal information pertains to, unless Northword Magazine has a legal obligation to provide it.
