Information Security

The security of your personal information is very important to us. We will not ask for credit card numbers or other sensitive personal information through an unsecured connection. Most transactions with the National Social Science Association are completed via US Mail. We may request the type of payment you intend to use and we can then finalize the transaction through other secure means such as paypal, bank transfers, etc. All information you provide to us will not be shared with anyone. We will not sell or provide this information to any third party for any purpose.

  1. comply with the law or a legal process served on us by law enforcement or civil court;
  2. protect and defend our rights or property or those of others;
  3. respond to fraud, abuse or unauthorized reception;
  4. enforce our Website's Terms and Conditions of Use; or
  5. act in an emergency to protect your safety or that of another.
