nTarget Privacy Statement
Last Updated: January 29, 2006
nTarget is committed to protecting the privacy of any personal information provided on this web site or through the nTarget web-hosted service.
This Privacy Statement applies to the nTarget Web site. By using nTarget, you consent to the data practices described in this statement. If you have questions about this Privacy Statement or the protection of your personal information on the nTarget Web site, please write us at privacy@ntarget.com.
Collection of your Personal Information nTarget explicitly asks when it needs information that personally identifies you during the submission of an inquiry, subscription to the nTarget list, or the creation of an nTarget account on the nTarget Web Site. This information can include your e-mail address, name, address, telephone number, and credit card number, as applicable. nTarget also may ask for non-personal information or demographic information.
Use of your Personal Information nTarget and our service providers use your personal information to operate the nTarget sites and to provide the services you have requested. The information is also used to communicate with you regarding your nTarget accounts by sending out communications that are considered as essential to the operation of the service. The non-personal information is used to compile general demographic statistics which may be shared in the aggregate with nTarget advertisers. We ask for your postal address so that we validate credit card information and send invoices by mail. We will only provide these service providers the personal information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
nTarget uses your personal information to distribute two types of information: 1) nTarget Service Updates - account specific communications, and 2) nTarget News - promotional and customer feedback information.
nTarget Service Updates - Account Specific Communications Account specific communications are distributed to the account administrator and include information that is essential for the nTarget service to operate properly. This includes the initial welcome mail describing features and instructions for the service. It also includes any communications describing any changes or updates to a particular service or billing issues. Because account specific communications are essential to providing the most current information on nTarget services, these types of communications initiate when a customer signs-up for an nTarget account and continues for all nTarget customers with active accounts.
nTarget News- Promotional and Customer Feedback Promotional and customer feedback may include promotional offers, sweepstakes, contests, and/or customer surveys.
nTarget may disclose your personal information 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 nTarget or its service providers; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of nTarget or its service providers, the site or the users of nTarget; or, (c) to protect the personal safety of users of nTarget.
Except as otherwise described in this statement, nTarget will not share any personal, company, or contact information with other companies without your prior consent.
Changes to your Personal Information nTarget Service Updates - Account Specific Communications You may update the personal information you have shared as the account administrator with nTarget, at any time when you log in to your nTarget account by clicking the "My Account" link.
nTarget News- Promotional and Customer Feedback Information You may opt-in or opt-out to receive these communications or edit your profile from the nTarget Web Site. Each mailing also provides an unsubscribe link to opt-out and a profile edit link to change your personal information.
If you have difficulty modifying any of your information, please send an e-mail to support@ntarget.com to receive further assistance.
Security of your Personal Information nTarget secures the personally identifiable information you provide in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When sensitive personal information (such as a credit card number and other financial information) is transmitted over the Internet, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Security of the company and contact information that you provide as part of the nTarget service is controlled in a secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. nTarget will not use your customer contact list or any other customer information for any other purposes than those intended with the service, nor will your customer information be shared with any other parties. nTarget will not use your customer information for the purpose of sending unsolicited commercial e-mail.
nTarget collects statistics on your specific company's customer's behavior in regards to their use of the nTarget service on your behalf and reports those statistics to you within the reporting features of your nTarget account.
Use of Cookies A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page 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. For additional information on cookies, please see http://www.epic.org/privacy/internet/cookies.
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. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same nTarget Web page, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the 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 will not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the nTarget Web site or utilize the nTarget web-based service.
Use of Log Files We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Use of Web Beacons nTarget pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons, sometimes called single-pixel gifs that allow nTarget to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. nTarget may include web beacons in e-mail messages in order to count how many messages have been opened and acted upon. Web beacons are not used to access personally identifiable information through nTarget services; they are a technique we use to compile aggregated statistics about the nTarget Web site and email usage distributed from the nTarget system. Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the Web beacon resides.
Changes to this Statement nTarget will occasionally update this Privacy Statement to reflect company and customer feedback. When nTarget posts changes to this Statement, we will also revise the "last updated" date at the top of the Privacy Statement. If there are material changes to this Statement, nTarget will notify you by placing prominent notice on the Web site. nTarget encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how nTarget is protecting your information.
Use of Privacy Statements by nTarget Customers and Affiliates While nTarget strongly encourages other web site operators using nTarget services to comply with these principles, you should carefully examine the privacy statements of sites linking to or from nTarget. Personal information that you choose to provide to other web sites will be subject to the privacy policies of that specific web site.
Contact Information If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Statement, please send an e-mail to privacy@ntarget.com.
