National
Business Association (NBA) and Your Privacy
Thank you
for visiting the National Business Association Web site at nationalbusiness.org.
It is presented to you by the National Business Association (NBA). Our site adheres
to the highest of Internet standards, observing and championing Net etiquette,
and aim for factual information throughout. We know how important your privacy
is to you. Whether you are a current NBA Member or just visiting our Web site,
we are committed to attempting to protect the information you provide in the same
way that we protect it when you provide it to us over the phone, in person or
through the mail.Because we value your relationship with us, we have detailed
below our privacy objectives for our Web site:
Privacy
Statement
Except for authorized law enforcement investigations,
we make no other attempts to identify individual users or their usage habits.
We only use raw monitoring data logs for determining trends in usage patterns
and in diagnosing system problems. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems
with our server, and to administer our Web site. We use IP addresses to analyze
trends, administer the site, track users' movement, and gather broad information
for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
If you use this system, you should understand that all activities may be monitored
and recorded. Anyone using this system expressly consents to such monitoring.
WARNING -- If such monitoring reveals possible evidence
or information of criminal or suspicious activity, monitoring records may be provided
to law enforcement officials.
Our site's forms
may require users to give us contact information (like their name and e-mail address)
and demographic information (like their zip code, state). The customer's contact
information is used to contact the visitor when necessary.This information is
not shared with other companies who may want to contact our visitors. The demographic
and profile data collected at our site is also used to tailor the visitor's experience
at our site, showing them content that we think they might be interested in, and
displaying the content according to their preferences. Personal info provided
by users will be used by the NBA to improve the site and provide a more personalized
experience for the user, but information which identifies a specific individual
will not be disclosed to others without the user’s permission unless necessary
to provide services which the user has requested.
We will
share aggregate information with our partners and advertisers. This aggregate
information does not contain personally identifiable information and therefore
cannot identify any specific individual. We use an outside credit card processing
company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share,
store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes. We
partner with other parties to provide specific services. When the user signs up
for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that is
necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not
allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing
these services.
Our marketing information is protected
to ensure the privacy of our members by not selling lists. Whenever a vendor wants
to promote their services to our members first we approve the promotion and second
we receive the promotion from the vendor and conduct the distribution ourselves.
This
Web site takes every precaution to protect our users' information. All of our
users' information is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information
to perform a specific job (e.g., our Finance department) are granted access to
personally identifiable information. The servers used to store personally identifiable
information are kept in a secure environment. We always use industry-standard
encryption technologies when transferring and receiving consumer data exchanged
with our site. When we transfer and receive certain types of sensitive information
we redirect visitors to a secure server. We have appropriate security measures
in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration
of information that we have collected from you at our site.
Please
use your own best judgment when sending information via the Internet to an e-mail
address. E-mail sent via the Internet may pass through private and public networks
with varying levels of security. Some networks may have taken steps to secure
e-mail transmissions while others have not, thereby compromising the privacy and
integrity of an e-mail. An e-mail may be copied, altered or destroyed.
If
you have personal or confidential information to relay to our company, please
call the appropriate member service phone number that you will find in our Contact
Us section.
We preserve the content of your e-mail,
your e-mail address and our response so that we can efficiently respond to questions
you might have. We also do this in an effort to meet legal and regulatory requirements.
We will respect your request not to be contacted by e-mail.
It is optional for a user to complete a membership or registration
form online. If a user chooses to complete one, a user is required to give certain
information (such as name and e-mail address). This information is used to contact
the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest
or deliver content that they have requested. If a user wishes to subscribe to
our e-mail newsletter, we ask for e-mail contact information to deliver NBA newsletter
content.
