INFORMATION YOU VOLUNTARILY PROVIDE

You may provide us with certain information about yourself in an application for membership or renewal, a request for information, a personal donation or payment for goods or services, a response to surveys, event registrations, participation in our certification program or any similar program sponsored by us. In addition, your personal information is received by us when you forward a web page, electronic postcard, electronic ballot, or electronic newsletter.

NAI collects and maintains certain portions of this personal information. A Member’s personal data (particularly contact information) will be maintained (and available to the Member for rectification upon request) during the duration of an NAI membership in any category, and for EU residents only this lapsed member information will be destroyed approximately five years after membership ceases.  NAI will keep information about your “opt out” of particular communications, for the NAI business purpose so that your instructions are implemented.  NAI will keep financial records of any payments (including credit card information) of yours for NAI business purposes until no longer required for accounting, tax, or similar purposes. Subject to our routine destruction policy, we may also retain for no more than five years any e-mail addresses of you and those to whom you may forward NAI electronic content and any other information collected in the forms you create.

INFORMATION WE GATHER AUTOMATICALLY

We also use certain standard Internet technologies to collect other information that cannot identify you personally when you visit our website. This non-personally identifiable information may include your IP address, the type of browser you are using, the type of operating system you are using and the domain name of your Internet service provider. NAI logs non-personally identifiable information, and aggregates it for system administration and to monitor the use of our Site. We use the aggregated information to measure the number of visits to our Site, the average time spent on our Site, the number of pages viewed, and various other Site statistics. This monitoring helps us to provide a more useful and engaging online experience to interpnet.com visitors, and helps us to improve the quality of our content.

NAI uses cookies, tokens, and from time to time may use other tracking technologies in order to make the results available for your on-site searches. Token-based authentication is a security technique that authenticates the users who attempt to log in to a server, a network, or some other secure system, using a security token provided by the server.  Tokens are used in the login process to the Members Only section of the Site. The token controls the login process expire after 24 hours, unless you use "Member log out", which removes the cookie immediately. The NAI Member Experience uses a cookie, which is a small file that is sent out by a website, accepted by the user's browser, and placed on the user's hard drive. You can always set your browser to warn of cookies being placed, and then chose which cookies you want to accept, or you can set your browser to reject all cookies. NAI does not match any information gathered by cookies or tokens with personal information you may have voluntarily submitted to NAI.

NAI may use third-party network advertising companies to serve ads on the Site. Such third-party advertising companies may set up and access cookies or tokens on your browser in order to serve these ads and they may use cookies and other technology to collect information about your online activities on this and other websites. However, NAI will not provide your personal information to any of these companies, except as may be otherwise permitted by you or this Privacy Policy.

The NAI websites use Google Analytics,  a service that transmits website traffic data to Google servers in the United States. The data that NAI receives from Google Analytics does not identify individual users. NAI uses reports provided by Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and webpage usage.  Users have the choice to opt-out of Google Analytics and Advertising cookies altogether at Google Analytics Opt-Out Add-on.

Also, NAI and third-party vendors including Google use first-party cookies (the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (for example, the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on past visits to our website. More specifically, the NAI website has implemented and uses display advertising, and NAI uses Google Analytics to improve user experience and implement marketing strategies. If you would like to opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising, you may use the Ads Preference Manager at the Google website.

In any event, NAI will not match your personally identifiable data in our possession with the aggregate non-identifiable data from Google Analytics. Nor will NAI share your personally identifiable data with Google or Google Analytics.  NAI complies with all applicable laws and regulations that protect your privacy. 

USE OF INFORMATION

We may use the information you voluntarily provide to contact you regarding your NAI membership, NAI programs, and to invite you to support our programs. We may also send such information to the people whose e-mail addresses you provide when forwarding NAI electronic content. You can quickly and easily "opt out" of future such communications in the Preferences tab on your account page.

From time to time, except for EU residents, we may make such voluntary information, excluding credit card information (which will never be disclosed), available to NAI affiliate organizations or to sponsors or licensees that provide special programs or services that we think you might find of interest. NAI uses strict diligence in determining which reputable companies become NAI sponsors and licensees, to assure that such organizations are committed to protecting your privacy.

SECURITY

Although NAI takes reasonable precautions to prevent or at least minimize unauthorized access of your information, the current state of technology cannot allow and NAI does not warrant or guarantee that personally identifiable information will never be illegally accessed, used, or disclosed.

CHILDREN'S GUIDELINES

NAI does not knowingly collect identifiable personal information from children under age 13. Nor will NAI collect personal data from EU residents under the age of 16 without the express written consent of a parent. If we discover that a person under these ages has violated either of these policies and provided us with any personally identifiable information, we will delete that information from our systems. We are unable to reply to information requests from children under the age of 13, if so identified. A parent or guardian must initiate any requests for information from children under the age of 13 on their behalf. We encourage parents to supervise children when they browse the Internet.
