NSLP Website Privacy Policy
OUR PRIVACY
COMMITMENT
At NSLP, maintaining the trust and confidence of the individuals we
serve is a high priority. That's why we want you to understand how
we protect your privacy when we collect and use information about
you. We respect your right to privacy and recognize our obligation
to keep information about you secure and confidential. We do
participate in a number of programs with commercial business
partners, and we make available some of those programs to
individuals using this website, but only if the user affirmatively
agrees to receive information and participate in such programs.
Otherwise, we do not sell or share information about you with
outside marketers or other companies which may then try to sell
their products or services to you.

BE COLLECTED

When you open e-mails from the site, we may receive a confirmation
noting you opened an e-mail from us, if your computer supports such

Additionally, we keep a record of what e-mails you have opted to

Cookies. As with many
websites, this site uses standard technology called "cookies",
which are small data files that are transferred to your computer
when you allow your browser to accept cookies. Cookies
automatically identify your web browser to the site whenever you
visit the site, and make using the site easier for you by saving
your passwords, purchases, and preferences. By tracking how and
when you use the site, cookies help us determine which areas are
popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the
site are based on data obtained from cookies. Accepting cookies
allows you, among other things, to personalize your experience on
the site. Cookies may also allow the site to present you other
information which may be of interest to you. If you do not want
information collected through the use of cookies, you generally can
opt out of providing this information by turning the cookies off in
your browser; however, some areas of the site may not provide you
with a personalized experience if you have disabled the use of
cookies.
IP Addresses and Click-stream
Data. We may collect IP addresses and/or click-stream
data for purposes of system administration and to assemble
aggregate information used for our internal operations. An IP
address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer
whenever you access the Internet. Our computers identify your
computer by its IP address. When you request web pages from the
site, our computers log your IP address.
Click-stream data is information collected by our computers when
you request web pages from the site. Click-stream data may include
such information as the page served, the time, the source of the
request, the type of browser making the request, the preceding page
view and other such non-personal information. When analyzed, this
data helps us examine how visitors arrive at the site, what type of
content is most popular, what type of visitors in the aggregate are
interested in particular kinds of content, and the like.
HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION

The information you provide to us may be used to:
• Contact you about the site;

site;
• Provide special offers to you from NSLP and its affiliates and
subsidiaries and, occasionally, our business partners and other
third parties;

We do not disclose any personally identifiable information about

permitted by law. We restrict access to personally identifiable
information to our employees who need to know the information, and
to our contractors and agents, in order to provide service to you
as may be made available within the site. We maintain physical,
electronic and procedural safeguards in compliance with federal law
to safeguard personally identifiable information.
Behind this privacy policy is a simple idea. We want you to know
that you can count on NSLP to protect the privacy and security of
the information collected from you, and that we will provide you
