NATIONS BEST DESIGNS PRIVACY POLICY
Our Commitment to Privacy
Our
Privacy Policy was developed as an extension of our commitment
to combine the highest-quality products and services with the
highest level of integrity in dealing with our clients and partners.
The Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we
collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide
to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using
our site and our products and services. This statement will
be continuously assessed against new technologies, business
practices and our customers' needs.
What
Information Do We Collect?
When
you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types of
information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose
that is collected on an individual basis and Web site use information
collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our
Web site.
1.
Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Credit
Card Information
If
you choose to purchase products or services from us or our partners,
you may need to give personal information and authorization
to obtain information from various credit services. For example,
you may need to provide the following information:
- Name
- Mailing address
- Email address
- Credit card number
- Home and business phone number
- Other personal information (i.e. mother’s maiden
name)
Email
Information
In
addition to providing the foregoing information to our partners,
if you choose to correspond further with us through email, we
may retain the content of your email messages together with
your email address and our responses. We provide the same protections
for these electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance
of information received by mail and telephone.
2.
Web Site Use Information
Similar
to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard
technology called "cookies" (see explanation below,
"What Are Cookies?") and Web server logs to collect
information about how our Web site is used. Information gathered
through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and
time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site,
and the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web
site. This information is collected on an aggregate basis. None
of this information is associated with you as an individual.
How
Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?
Broadly
speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering
our business activities, providing customer service and making
available other products and services to our customers and prospective
customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information we
collect to notify you about important changes to our
Web site, new services and special offers we think you will
find valuable. The lists used to send you product and service
offers are developed and managed under our traditional corporate
standards designed to safeguard the security and privacy of
our customers’ personal information. As a customer, you will
be given the opportunity, at least once annually, to notify
us of your desire not to receive these offers.
What
Are Cookies? Cookies are a feature of Web browser software that allows Web servers
to recognize the computer used to access a Web site. Cookies
are small pieces of data that are stored by a user’s Web browser
on the user’s hard drive. Cookies can remember what information
a user accesses on one Web page to simplify subsequent interactions
with that Web site by the same user or to use the information
to streamline the user’s transactions on related Web pages.
This makes it easier for a user to move from Web page to Web
page and to complete commercial transactions over the Internet.
Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized.
How
Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?
We
use Web site browser software tools such as cookies and Web
server logs to gather information about our Web site users’
browsing activities, in order to constantly improve our Web
site and better serve our customers. This information assists
us to design and arrange our Web pages in the most user-friendly
manner and to continually improve our Web site to better meet
the needs of our customers and prospective customers.
Cookies
help us collect important business and technical statistics.
The information in the cookies lets us trace the paths followed
by users to our Web site as they move from one page to another.
Web server logs allow us to count how many people visit our
Web site and evaluate our Web site’s visitor capacity. We do
not use these technologies to capture your individual email
address or any personally identifying information about you
although they do permit us to send focused online banner advertisements
or other such responses to you.
Sharing
Information with Affiliates
From
time to time you may notice offers from outside companies advertised
on our Web site. We take measures to select product or service
providers that are responsible and afford privacy protections
to their customers. However, we cannot make any representations
about the practices and policies of these companies.
Sharing
Information with Strategic Partners
We
may enter into strategic marketing alliances or partnerships
with third parties who may be given access to personal information
including your name, address, telephone number and email for
the purpose of providing you information regarding products
and services that we think will be of interest to you. In connection
with strategic marketing alliances or partnerships, we will
retain all ownership rights to the information, and we will
not share information regarding your social security number
or other personal financial data.
Notice
of New Services and Changes
Occasionally,
we may also use the information we collect to notify you about
important changes to our Web site, new services and special
offers we think you will find valuable. As our client, you will
be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to
receive these offers by clicking on a response box when you
receive such an offer or by sending us an email request at info@nationsbestdesigns.com
How
Do We Secure Information Transmissions?
When
you send confidential personal credit card information to us
on our Web site, a secure server software which we have licensed
encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us.
The information is scrambled en route and decoded once it reaches
our Web site.
Other
email that you may send to us may not be secure unless we advise
you that security measures will be in place prior to your transmitting
the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not send
confidential information such as Social Security or account
numbers to us through an unsecured email.
How
Do We Protect Your Information?
Information
Security.
We utilize encryption/security software to safeguard the confidentiality
of personal information we collect from unauthorized access
or disclosure and accidental loss, alteration or destruction.
Valuation
of Information Protection Practices. Periodically, our operations and business practices
are reviewed for compliance with corporate policies and procedures
governing the security, confidentiality and quality of our information.
Employee
Access, Training and Expectations. Our corporate values, ethical standards, policies
and practices are committed to the protection of customer information.
In general, our business practices limit employee access to
confidential information, and limit the use and disclosure of
such information to authorized persons, processes and transactions.
How
Can You Access and Correct Your Information?
You
may request access to all your personally identifiable information
that we collect online and maintain in our database by emailing
info@nationsbestdesigns.com
Do
We Disclose Information to Outside Parties?
We
may provide aggregate information about our customers, sales,
Web site traffic patterns and related Web site information to
our affiliates or reputable third parties, but this information
will not include personally identifying data, except as otherwise
provided in this Privacy Policy.
What
About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?
We
may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in
other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires
it or for the protection of our legal rights.
What
About Other Web Sites Linked to Our Web Site?
We
are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites
linked to or from our Web site nor the information or content
contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided
solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful
to the users of our Web site.
