If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Site or our Services.

WHAT INFORMATION DOES THIS PRIVACY POLICY COVER?

Such information may include name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, and other non-public information which identifies you as a specific individual (“Personal Information”). For this Privacy Policy the definition of “Personal Information” is the definition under the state, country, or other law applicable to the person whose data is collected.

Personal Information does not include your Personal Information that has been deidentified, pseudonymized, anonymized, encrypted, aggregated, and/or otherwise processed so as to be unidentifiable in such a way that the data can no longer be attributed to a specific individual (by reasonable means) without the use of additional information, and where such additional information is kept separate and under adequate security to prevent unauthorized re-identification of a specific individual such that one could not, using reasonable efforts, link such information back to a specific individual (collectively, all of the foregoing in this sentence being referred to as “De-Identified Personal Information”). 

We may also collect Personal Information from you through means other than our Site. This may include offline collection, such as if you submit a paper application, make a payment by check, or call or visit our office. It may also include emails or other electronic communications that you send to us separate from our Site or by way of any third party service providers. However, if we combine the Personal Information we collect from you outside of our Site with Personal Information that is collected through our Site or by another means as described above, the Privacy Policy will apply to the combined information, unless specifically disclosed otherwise. 

This Privacy Policy also describes how personal health information (“PHI”) collected through our Website may be used and/or disclosed by us in order to carry out the services we provide, your rights under applicable law, and the actions we take to protect your PHI. 

Other than as stated herein, this Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by any third party including through any application or content (including advertising) that may link to or be accessible from or on our Site.

If you are under 18, please do not send any Personal Information about yourself (such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address) to us. No one under age 18 should provide any Personal Information to or on the Services. In the event that we learn that we have collected Personal Information or PHI from a child under age 18 without verification of parental consent, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete that information from our database. Please contact us if you have any concerns.

The process for allocation of user accounts and decryption keys is controlled internally and according to our written operating procedures.

Cookie Notice/Policy

The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include cookies, local storage cookies, web beacons, pixel tracking, GIF and/or IP address. Each of these is discussed below.

Cookies (or browser cookies)

A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer or mobile device. It may contain certain data, including, but not limited to: the name of the server that has placed it there, an identifier in the form of a unique number, and, an expiration date (some cookies only). Cookies are managed by the web browser on your computer or mobile device (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or Google Chrome).

Different types of cookies which have different purposes are used on our Site.

Essential Cookies

These cookies are essential to allow you to browse our Site and use its functions. Without them, services such as shopping baskets and electronic invoicing would not be able to work.

Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information on the use of our Site, such as which pages are consulted most often. This information enables us to optimize our Site and simplify browsing. These cookies do not collect any information which could be used to identify you. All the information collected is aggregated, and therefore anonymous.

Functionality Cookies

These cookies enable our Site to remember the choices you have made when browsing. For example, we can store your geographical location in a cookie so that the Site corresponding to your area is shown. We can also remember your preferences, such as the text size, font and other customizable aspects of the Site. Functionality cookies may also be able to keep track of the products or videos consulted to avoid repetition. The information collected by these cookies cannot be used to identify you and cannot monitor your browsing activity on sites which do not belong to us.

It is possible that you will come across third-party cookies on some pages of sites that are not under our control.

We also use cookies to implement tracking technology on our Site. This allows us to display advertising that is tailored to you on our Site which parts of our content interest you the most and which Service categories you request. This tracking uses De-Identified Personal Information data). We will not combine this data with your other Personal Information without your express permission. Some of our service providers are allowed to place cookies on our Site. Those companies may also provide you with the option of preventing the use of cookies in the future. For more information, contact the relevant third-party provider. 

At any time, you can prevent the use of cookies in the future. You may activate the appropriate setting in your browser to refuse to accept browser cookies. However, if you do, your experience on our Site may be affected; e.g., you may be unable to access certain parts of our Site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Site.

Local Storage Cookies. Certain features of our Site may use local stored objects (or Adobe Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from and on our Site. Local storage cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies. 

Web Beacons. Pages of our Site and our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags and single-pixel gifs) that permit us, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity). 

Pixel Tracking. In addition to using Cookies, the Site may employ “pixel tracking”, a common process which may be used in connection with advertisements on other sites. Pixel tracking involves the use of pixel tags that are not visible to the user and consist of a few lines of computer code. Pixel tracking measures the effectiveness of advertisements and compiles aggregate and specific usage statistics. A “pixel tag” is an invisible tag placed on certain pages of websites that is used to track an individual user’s activity. We may access these pixel tags to identify activity and interests that may allow us to better match our products, services, and offers with your interests and needs. For example, if you visit our Site from an advertisement on another website, the pixel tag will allow the advertiser to track that its advertisement brought you to the Site. If you visit our Site, and we link you to another website, we may also be able to determine that you were sent to and/or transacted with a third-party website. This data is collected for use in our marketing, research, and other activities.

GIF. We may use tiny images known as clear GIFs to track behavior of users, including statistics on who opens our emails.

IP Address. Our servers automatically record certain log file information reported from your browser when you access the Services. These server logs may include information such as which pages of the Service you visited, your internet protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, and other information on how you interact with the Services. These log files are generally deleted periodically.

Event-Related Disclosures: From time to time, we may run events or activities (“Events”), possibly together with a third party vendor. If you provide information to such third parties, you give them permission to use it for the purpose of that Event and any other use to which you consent.

Required Disclosures: Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose your Personal Information to any third party unless required to do so by law, court order, legal process, or subpoena, including to respond to any government or regulatory request, or if we believe that such action is necessary to: (a) comply with the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates, subsidiaries, contracted vendors, or affinity partners, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities; (b) enforce our Terms or customer agreement (including for billing and collection purposes); (c) take precautions against liability; (d) investigate and defend ourselves against any third-party claims or allegations; (e) assist government enforcement agencies or to meet national security requirements; (f) to protect the security or integrity of our Site, our Services, or any software we provide related thereto; or, (g) exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of us, our users or others.

SECURITY

We have implemented measures designed to secure your Personal Information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. Your Personal Information is contained behind secured networks and a firewall and is only accessible by our personnel and by a limited number of service providers who have special access rights to our systems, and who are required to keep the information confidential. Our Site is scanned on a regular basis for security holes and known vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to our Site safer. 

Any payment transactions will be performed using our third party payment processors or gateways, who will use appropriate security procedures designed to protect your information. We do not collect or store full credit card numbers. 

Our agents, contractors, service providers, and partners who require access to your Personal Information in order to provide services to us or to you on our behalf are also required to keep the information confidential in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and are not permitted to disclose the information to third parties or use the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for us, or as permitted pursuant to our agreement with them.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. You should maintain good internet security practices. Where you have password-protected access to an account or certain parts of the Site or Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. You should not share your password with anyone. You must prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal Information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer or mobile device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. If your email account or Facebook account is compromised this could allow access to your account with us if you have given us those details and/or permitted access through those accounts. If your email account is compromised it could be used to ask us to reset a password and gain access to your account with us. If you think that any of your accounts have been compromised you should change your account credentials with us, and in particular make sure any compromised account does not allow access to your account with us. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by other users. We will never email you to ask for your password or other account login information. If you receive such an email, please send it to us so we can investigate.

The safety and security of platform login information also depends on you. You are responsible for keeping confidential all login credentials to our Site to which you are provided access. You agree to not disclose any such login credentials with any third party. If you become aware of any potential compromise of your login credentials, you must immediately change the relevant password. You agree to and do hereby release and forever discharge us and our affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, officers, directors, employees, successors and assigns and contractors (collectively, “Company’s Group”), and you will indemnify, defend and hold Company’s Group harmless, from any and all past, current, and future liability, claims, demands, damages, losses, fines, penalties, assessments, private rights of action, or other actions, of whatever kind of nature, either in law or equity, as well as costs (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and costs), which arise from any failure of you to maintain the security of your email or other accounts which results in unauthorized access by a third party to such account and the transfer of funds by us in reliance of instructions purporting to originate from you.

DATA RETENTION

We regularly update the database of namic.org register users. Individuals whose accounts are disabled will be required to re-register (see the re-registration link here) for Site access by submitting new profile information.

You can request that we delete your account by contacting us. 

We retain your information after you request such deletion for longer periods for specific purposes to the extent that we are obliged to do so in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and/or as necessary to protect our legal rights or for certain business requirements. For example, when we process your payments, we will retain this data for longer periods of time as required for tax or accounting purposes. See below for examples of specific reasons we would retain some data for longer periods of time:

  • Our contractual and business relationships with you.
  • Security, fraud and abuse prevention – i.e., to protect you, other people, and us from fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access.
  • Financial record-keeping – when you make a payment to us we are often required to retain this information for long period of time for purposes of accounting, dispute investigation and resolution, and compliance with tax, anti-money laundering, and other financial regulations.
  • Complying with legal or regulatory requirements – to meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request, as required to enforce our terms of service, including investigation of potential violations.
  • Direct communications with us – if you have directly communicated with us, through a customer support channel, feedback form, or a bug report, we may retain reasonable records of those communications.

Even if you delete your account, keep in mind that the deletion by our third party providers may not be immediate and that the deleted information may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time. We may retain De-Identified Personal Information for as long as we deem appropriate.

WHAT INFORMATION YOU CAN ACCESS, CHANGE, OR DELETE

Through your user account settings page, you may access and, in some cases, edit, or delete certain information you’ve provided to us, such as name and password, mailing address, user profile information, etc. The information that you can view, update, and delete may change as the Services or our practices change.

  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. Making a verifiable Consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable Consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. 

Verification Process

Email Verification Method: Upon receiving a data access or deletion request from you we will send an email to you at the email address we have for you on file. The email will ask you to respond to verify you as the Consumer making the request. Upon receipt of your verification we will match your information to that which is in our file. Upon verification of your identity we will proceed to process your request (subject to the exceptions stated above).

Response Timing and Format

We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) days of receiving it. We will respond to a verifiable Consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to an additional forty-five (45) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. 

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable Consumer request’s receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable Consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request. 

Please note that this right does not apply to business-to-business customers, employment applicants, or independent contractors to us, or if the disclosure of Personal Information is for purposes consistent with the California resident’s reasonable expectations, when considering the submission’s circumstances.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you simply for your exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services;
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including by refusing to gran discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties;
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services; or,
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

We may not be able to comply with your request if (a) we are unable to verify your request, (b) if we are unable to match you with information in our database, or (c) if an exception under the law exists exempting us from complying with your request.

You also agree that we may send you notifications of activity regarding the Service and the Site to the email address you give us, in accordance with any applicable privacy settings.
