Personal Information We Share
We do not disclose your personal information except as described in this Privacy Policy or as we disclose to you at the time the data is collected. MOC will share your personal information in certain situations:
- Payment Processing. MOC uses third parties to provide credit card, bank, payment and information processing services. If you choose to make a payment online, by phone, through the mail, or by other means, we will share your personal information with our processing service providers. We authorize these service providers to use your personal information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. We require these service providers by contract to safeguard the privacy and security of personal information they process on our behalf.
- Contractors. MOC may use agents and contractors in order to help with our operations. These contractors are required by contract to protect your information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy and by not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for MOC.
- Third Party Researchers. MOC may disclose your personal information confidentially with researchers for purposes directly related to our mission, programs and services. Information will only be published in aggregate form without identifying any individual data subjects.
- Necessity. MOC will disclose your personal information as necessary to protect your vital interest, protect the vital interest of another person, protect public safety, respond to government requests, and report information as required by law.

You have rights regarding the personal information we maintain about you. We also offer you choices about what personal information we collect from you, how we use that information, and how we communicate with you.
You have the right to:
- Limit the sharing of your information with third parties for direct marketing purposes;
- Obtain confirmation that we hold personal information about you;
- Request access to and receive information about the personal information we maintain about you;
- Receive copies of the personal information we maintain about you;

International Data Transfers
While MOC is a U.S. based nonprofit organization we do now and may in the future have members or strategic alliance partners in other countries. We may transfer your personal information to recipients in countries other than the country in which the information was originally collected, in particular to the United States of America. Those countries may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. When we transfer your information to other countries, we will protect that information as described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed to you at the time the data is collected.
Information Security
We are committed to ensuring the privacy of your personal information and have established safeguards to help protect such information. For example, to protect your privacy, MOC uses passwords to help verify authorized user identity before granting access anywhere your personal information is stored. All online monetary transactions are done on a secure server. This means that information entered on the transaction page is encrypted before transmission. Though we strive to ensure the security of your information on our systems, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable and data transmission over the internet cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
Website Links
In order to provide certain services and goods at our website, we contract with other companies and individuals. These additional services and goods may include links to other websites from our website. MOC’s privacy practices may not be applicable at any third-party sites. When you leave the MOC website, we have no control regarding what information may be collected about you, nor do we control what third parties might do with the information. It is important that you review any privacy policies on third-party sites carefully before you use any services or programs offered.
Changes to Privacy Policy
From time to time, MOC may revise its Privacy Policy to address changing technology, security measures and website functionality. We will send all email subscribers an alert and/or post a prominent notice on relevant websites to notify you of any significant changes to our Privacy Policy and indicate when it was updated.
