NiaOnline is committed to providing you the opportunity for a positive
experience during your visit to our website, while respecting and striving
to protect your on-line privacy. We have adopted our privacy policy to safeguard
your personal information and to protect its confidentiality. We seek to limit
the collection and use of personal information to what we believe is necessary
to administer our business, provide you with the highest quality visit and
offer you information we think will be of interest.
Our site may contain links to other sites. We will make every effort to link
only to sites that we believe share our high standards and respect for privacy.
However, we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices employed by
organizations sponsoring these other sites. In addition, while visiting our site,
you may have the opportunity to give out your personal information on-line to third
parties, such as through various chat rooms. In these instances, we cannot guaranty
the security and privacy of any information that you provide voluntarily to these
third parties.
NiaOnline collects personal information from our visitors on a voluntary basis
only. Personal information may include name, title, company, address, phone number,
e-mail address, marital status, education, household income, etc. We use this
information to enhance your on-line experience by providing you with enhanced navigation
or suggesting areas in which we may improve the structure and content of the site.
In addition, we also share this information with our marketing partners and advertisers.
Your willingness to have this information made available allows our marketing partners
and advertisers to better understand our users demographics. In addition, the exchange
of information between our marketing partners, advertisers and our users helps us to
continually revise and improve our website in order to enhance your on-line experience.
Obviously, we cannot control the practices of our marketing partners or advertisers.
However, during the registration process, you may opt-out from receiving information
from our marketing partners or advertisers or from allowing us to share your personal
information for promotional purposes.
As part of the services we offer to our marketing partners and advertisers,
we also create demographic studies and traffic patterns. Although these types of
information are shared with them, these studies are not linked to any personal
information that can identify any individual person.
NiaOnline offers you the opportunity to change or remove the personal information
that you previously entered. All you need to do is access your registration page after
you log in and correct any of your registration information. Follow the simple instructions
and contact us if you are experiencing any difficulties or have any questions.
If you do provide us with your personal information, or if you contact us with questions
or comments, we reserve the right to use your personal information in order to be able to
respond to your questions or comments. We reserve the right to file your comments for future
reference.
All personal information you provide to NiaOnline is secured on our server with restricted
access. We reserve the right to use agents and consultants to perform storage and processing
functions. In such instances, we use all reasonable efforts to have these agents and consultants
be bound by strict confidentiality guidelines, although we cannot be responsible if these agents
or consultants violate these guidelines. Only designated employees, consultants or agents who need
to carry out legitimate business functions are permitted to view your personal information.
Furthermore, all our employees are kept up-do-date on our security and priority practices. All
employees of NiaOnline who violate this policy are subject to disciplinary actions, up to
and including termination.
