Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us. Because we gather certain types of information about the users of NADBank's sites and services, we want to ensure that you fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use it. This privacy policy applies to all NADBank sites, that is all sites within the "nadbank.org" domain name.
What Information Does NADBank Collect?
Personal Information
If you register for an email newsletter or use one of our contact forms you may be asked for information that helps to identify you, such as your name, email address, and organization. The information you are asked to provide is used for technical and customer administration of the site only and is not shared with third parties.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
NADBank has and will continue to contract with third-party vendors to track and analyze information about the usage of NADBank sites. This information is gathered so that NADBank can better understand the usage of its sites and improve and develop them. None of this information can be used to identify individual site visitors. All vendors that the NADBank works with have their own privacy policies that include clauses that they will not share your data with third parties unless specifically requested to do so by NADBank or as directed by law. All data collected by third party vendors is owned by NADBank, and NADBank will not share, sell, distribute or rent this information to anyone.
Only summaries of visitors’ behavior are produced. Examples of this type of information include statistics on most popular and least popular pages. The information collected cannot be traced back to a particular individual.
The purpose of this data collection is so that NADBank can better understand the preferences of its visitors and improve its site and services. This information is never connected with any personal information you supply to us if you register on our website.
Use of Cookies and Web Beacons
When you visit our website, NADBank sets a cookie, a small bit of code stored on your computer's hard drive that stores non-personally identifiable information.
If you choose to receive our newsletter, you will receive a web beacon through each newsletter. A web beacon is a small bit of code that is used to allow us to count users who have visited certain pages and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns.
IP Addresses
In addition, if you complete one of our contact forms, NADBank also records your IP address, which is the Internet address of your computer, and information such as your browser type and operating system. This information helps us learn about the geographical distribution of our website visitors and the technology they use to access our site.
What If I Don't Want to Share My Information?
Registering for our newsletter is optional. If you choose not to register or provide personal information, you can still use NADBank's web site. However, you will not be able to receive email newsletters.
If you register for a newsletter or complete a contact form, NADBank will not share, sell, distribute or rent your information to anyone.

Glossary
Cookie: A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a website's computers and stored on your computer's hard drive. Each web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Once the user has closed the browser, the cookie will no longer be accessed during that session.
IP Address: When your web browser or email application requests a web page or email from another computer on the Internet, it automatically gives that computer the address where it should send the information. This is called your computer's "IP address." (IP stands for "Internet protocol.") For many users accessing the Internet from a dial-up Internet service provider (ISP), the IP address will be different every time you log on. NADBank does this to learn about the geographical makeup of its web site traffic.
Web Beacons: Also known as "clear gifs" or "pixel tags," these are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to allow us to count users who have visited certain pages and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns. When used in HTML-formatted email messages, web beacons can tell the sender whether and when the email has been opened. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on Web pages.
