Please note: The Maine Campus is updating its privacy policy not because of a change in the way it collects or protects your personal information but because The Campus is moving off its current online publisher. If anything, The Maine Campus is more vigilant now about the security of your personal information.

This policy was last modified on May 21, 2009

Information we gather

The Maine Campus, owner and operator of mainecampus.com, will not collect any personal information not voluntarily supplied by the user while subscribing, registering, taking a survey, commenting or any other action in which the user was a willing and obvious participant.
