IMC USA Membership Registration

Our site's registration forms require users to give us contact information (like name and email address), method of payment, and demographic information. We use member contact information from the registration forms to send the user information about our association. The members' contact information is also used to contact the visitor if/when necessary. Information regarding method of payment is collected for member enrollment, registration and to process orders for products and services.

E-Mail Privacy

Your e-mail address will only be used within the IMC USA and its entities. We do not sell or rent e-mail addresses to anyone outside the IMC USA. If you wish to be removed from our e-mail mailings, please contact us.

For some e-mails distributed by the IMC USA and its Sections, specific information on recipient response is collected. For example, we sometimes review how many recipients open and subsequently choose to click through to links provided in an e-mail. We use this information only for the purposes of analyzing areas of interest, improving our products, and enhancing the usefulness of our website for IMC USA members and other visitors. None of this information is sold or distributed outside of the IMC USA in any manner.
