PRIVACY POLICY
The following policy discloses our information gathering and
dissemination practices for this Web site. NFIRSonline reserves
the right to amend this privacy policy from time to time.
A. NOTICE AND DISCLOSURE RESPECTING COLLECTION AND USE OF
INFORMATION FROM USERS
NFIRSonline is a business-to-business professional service company
with a primary target audience consisting of corporate computer
users. This site is not calculated to attract minors or casual,
non-business adult users. We collect information from users in
two different ways, depending on the manner in which the user
chooses to access our site:
- We collect the following information from all users who visit
our site: each user's IP address, type of operating system,
and type of browser software. The user's IP address may be used
to determine the user's Internet Service Provider and general
geographic location. We use this information internally to perform
statistical analyses of collective characteristics and behavior,
so we can measure overall visitor demographics and interests
regarding the site, to identify the most popular pages and sections
on our site and evaluate the effectiveness of our promotional
activities. For example, we compile the aggregate data to gain
information on the number of users who have seen and clicked
on our Web advertisements and/or responded to print promotions.
We will only share this information with outside parties (i.e.,
strategic allies, advertisers) in its aggregate form (i.e.,
as statistics), and not in a form that identifies individual
users. The strategic allies with which we may share such statistical
information include the insurance companies, security solutions
providers and business consulting firms (including accounting
companies) with which we work.
- For users who send us an e-mail message on the "Contact Us"
link on our site via the info@NFIRSonline e-mail address, we
also collect the user's e-mail address and any information contained
in the user's e-mail message. We will use this information for
purposes that include gathering individual marketing and sales
information respecting the user and the user's company, sending
advertising and promotional information about our goods and
services to the user, contacting the user via mail, e-mail or
telephone, and adding the user's information to one or more
of our sales or marketing databases. The user may choose not
to send us an e-mail message, but if the user so chooses, the
user may not be able to receive certain of NFIRSonline's information
or to participate in special campaigns.
We will not use any information that a user provides to us for
any purpose that is unrelated to the purposes for which the information
was collected. For example, we will not sell or provide the information
to third party direct marketing companies that, in turn, sell
their contact lists to others for a fee.
Users should be aware that when they click on a third party's
links or ad banners that are resident on our site, they are likely
to be directed to sites not operated by us. These sites may employ
cookies and/or request voluntary disclosure of personal or corporate
information. These outside sites likely have different privacy
policies from those of NFIRSonline, and our privacy policy does
not in any way address information gathered at these sites. NFIRSonline
is not responsible for the privacy policies or other business
practices of such sites and their owners, administrators or support
providers. These include (but are not limited to) the sites of
our strategic allies, affiliates, or any other third-party linked
sites.
NOTE: NFIRSonline fully cooperates with law enforcement
agencies in identifying those persons who use our network resources
for illegal activities, and we reserve the right to lawfully release
personally identifying information about users when we believe
our resources are being used unlawfully, even without a subpoena,
warrant or court order.
B. CHOICE AND CONSENT RESPECTING COLLECTION, USE AND DISTRIBUTION
OF INFORMATION
With regard to the e-mail address and any personally identifying
information referenced in I.A.2. above, NFIRSonline utilizes an
"opt-in" system respecting collection of such information. In
other words, the user shall only have his or her e-mail address
or personally identifying information collected, used or distributed
by NFIRSonline as noted in I.A.2. above if the user sends an e-mail
message to us. The e-mail link for "Contact Us" (see I.A.2. above)
contains notices which advise the user that personal information
is about to be gathered, and which notify the user that he or
she gives consent for the uses of such information by submitting
it via e-mail. If the user later chooses to withdraw or change
information previously submitted, the user may also "opt out"
by following the procedures to change or remove information outlined
in part D below.
