NCDMM PRIVACY POLICY [Updated 9/4/08]
This is the official privacy policy (“Privacy
Policy”) of the National Center for Defense Manufacturing & Machining (“NCDMM”)
and forms part of our Terms of Use and together forms your agreement with us. Any
terms not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meanings set forth in the Terms
of Use. Our Privacy Policy does not supersede the Terms of Use but supplement its
terms and conditions and is incorporated herein by reference. Any conflict between
the two shall be determined in favor of the Terms of Use.
This Privacy Policy governs
the personally identifiable information collected by us (“Personal Information”)
and does not cover any other information.
Our privacy standards are designed to
ensure that we will:
-
collect and use only the minimum necessary Personal Information
required for us to deliver our products and services to you and to let you know
of our products and services that are available;
-
protect your Personal Information,
maintaining strict standards of security and confidentiality;
-
not disclose your
Personal Information to any external organization unless we have previously notified
you and obtained your consent;
-
require any other organization that we retain or
engage to provide support services for us to conform to our privacy standards; and
-
make every effort to keep your Personal Information complete, up to date, and
accurate.
Keeping your Personal Information secure and ensuring your understanding
of how we use and maintain your Personal Information is important to us. The NCDMM
maintains physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your Personal
Information and while no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure from
intrusion, we have used and will continue to use commercially reasonable efforts
to ensure the protection of your Personal Information.
We collect information about
you when you visit and use our website located at http://voice.ncdmm.org and the
“managing tool” website located at http://www.vizseek.com/vizspace/vizspace.aspx?uid=afc6e4e3-e24d-4123-9218-f56e7aef83ab,
particularly when you create an account and enter your Personal Information on such
websites. We may use your Personal Information to enhance your experience on such
websites.
Your Personal Information and any data, personal or otherwise, that you
disclose and which may be saved on our website is used to provide our products and
services to you in a manner consistent with our Terms of Use as well as all applicable
laws, rules, regulations and other legal obligations. We may from time to time,
transfer or merge your Personal Information to our offline databases and/or store
such Personal Information in an electronic format as well as combine your Personal
Information with information available from other sources.
Sometimes we may use
your Personal Information to advise you of our products or services that may be
available through the NCDMM or its affiliate partners and third parties. We may
contact you via email for administrative or informational purposes, including follow-up
messages regarding the administration of our products or services you indicated
an interest in or other transactions you have initiated with us. You may choose
to “opt-out” of receiving emails from us by sending us an email to ncdmm.info@ncdmm.org.
We will not use or share any of your Personal Information for any purpose other
than to provide our products and services and as set forth in our Terms of Use,
unless we provide advance notice to you and obtain your consent. We will share your
Personal Information with our operational service providers that assist in delivering
our products and services to you. You can always visit our website without submitting
any Personal Information. Although your privacy is very important to us, in this
legal and technical environment, we cannot fully ensure that your Personal Information
will not be disclosed to third parties. For example, we may be compelled to disclose
your Personal Information to a governmental agency or a court. Additionally, we
may (and you authorize us to do so) disclose your Personal Information to private
entities, law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion,
believe necessary or appropriate to investigate or resolve possible problems or
inquiries or to protect our own business and assets. In such circumstances, we will,
where possible, require such third parties to maintain the confidentiality of any
information so disclosed.
Our website contains links to the websites and services
of our affiliate partners and other third parties. We are not responsible for and
have no control over the privacy and data collection policies and practices implemented
by such affiliate partners or third parties, some of which may be substantially
different from our corresponding policies and practices. The NCDMM has no obligation
and is not liable for the treatment or maintenance of any information, content,
data or materials transmitted, distributed or otherwise provided by you via any
such affiliate partner or third party website or service. It is your sole responsibility
to review their respective policies and practices and determine whether the same
are adequate.
We may use cookies and related technologies to enhance your online
experience on our website. Cookies tell us nothing about who you are unless you
specifically give us Personal Information. You may elect not to allow cookies to
be collected by selecting certain options on your browser although this may affect
your access to certain portions of our website.
We have the right to revise this
Privacy Policy at any time and from time to time by posting an updated version on
our website, without advance notice to you. The revisions shall be effective immediately
upon posting. We encourage you to check this Privacy Policy often so that you are
aware of the most current terms and conditions that apply to you. We may also, at
our sole discretion, email you about these changes. Your continued use of our website
and/or products and services indicates your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and
of the collection, use, disclosure, maintenance, management and storage of your
Personal Information, as described. This Privacy Policy remains applicable to your
Personal Information for as long as your Personal Information is in our possession,
even if you terminate or discontinue your use of our website or products and services.
If you have any questions concerning our Privacy Policy, what information about
you we collect and use, or if you do not understand any of the terms or disclosures
noted above, you may contact us at: ncdmm.info@ncdmm.org or NCDMM Privacy Policy
at P.O. Box 231, 1600 Technology Way, Latrobe, PA 15650-0231 USA.
