Collection of your Personal Information

The NUITF collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. The NUITF also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests, and favorites.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by the NUITF. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring website addresses. This information is used by the NUITF for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the NUITF website.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through the NUITF public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: The NUITF does not read any of your private online communications.

The NUITF encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to and/or from the NUITF so that you can understand how those websites collect, use, and share your information. The NUITF is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the NUITF and the NUITF family of websites.

Use of your Personal Information

The NUIITF collects and uses your personal information to operate the NUITF website and deliver the services you have requested. The NUITF also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from the NUITF and its affiliates. The NUITF may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

The NUITF does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties. The NUITF may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, the NUITF may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information, except to provide these services, to the NUITF, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

The NUITF does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations without your explicit consent.

The NUITF keeps track of the websites and pages our customers visit within the NUITF, in order to determine what NUITF services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within the NUITF to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

The NUITF websites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on the NUITF or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of the NUITF; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the NUITF, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The NUITF website uses "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a webpage server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize the NUITF pages, or register with the NUITF site or services, a cookie helps the NUITF recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same NUITF website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the NUITF features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the NUITF services or websites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

The NUITF secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. The NUITF secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use accept of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

The NUITF will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. The NUIF encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how the NUITF is protecting your information.
