 Privacy Policy
Information Collection & Use
NAFEMS Ltd. is the sole owner of the information collected on
www.nafems.org. NAFEMS Ltd. collects personally identifiable
information from our users at several different points on our Web
site.
Orders
If you purchase a product or service from us, we request certain
personally identifiable information from you on our order form. You
must provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping
address) and financial information (such as credit card number,
expiration date).
We use this information for billing purposes and to fill your
orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we will use
this information to contact you.
We may also use this information to contact you in the future
regarding NAFEMS products and services which we feel may be of
interest to you.
Surveys or Contests
From time-to-time we may provide you the opportunity to participate
in contests or surveys on our site. If you participate, we
will request certain personally identifiable information from you.
Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary
and you therefore have a choice whether or not to disclose this
information. The requested information typically includes
contact information (such as name and shipping address), and
demographic information (such as zip, or
postal code).
We use this information to notify contest winners and award prizes,
to monitor site traffic, and to send participants an email
newsletter.
We may use a third party service provider to conduct these surveys
or contests; that company will be prohibited from using our
users’ personally identifiable information for any other
purpose. We will not share the personally identifiable information
you provide through a contest or survey with other third parties
unless we give you prior notice and choice.
Communications from the Site
Special Offers and Updates
We will occasionally send you information on our products,
services, special deals, promotions, events and other industry
news. You can sign up for these emails from us on our registration
page.
Out of respect for your privacy, we present the option not to
receive these types of communications. Please see the section
entitled “Choice and Opt-out.”
Newsletters
If you wish to subscribe to our newsletter(s), we will use your
name and email address to send the newsletter to you. Out of
respect for your privacy, we provide you with a way to
unsubscribe. Please see the “Choice and Opt-out”
section.
Service-related Announcements
We will send you strictly service-related announcements on rare
occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our
service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send you
an email.
Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are
not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive
them, you have the option to deactivate your account. [You may
opt-out of these communications. Please see “Choice and
Opt-out.”]
Customer Service
Based upon the personally identifiable information you provide us,
we will send you a welcoming email to verify your username and
password. We will also communicate with you in response to
your inquiries, to provide the services you request, and to manage
your account. We will communicate with you by email or telephone,
in accordance with your wishes.

with our partners and advertisers. This information does not

Agents
We use an outside shipping company to fulfill orders, and a credit
card processing company to bill you for goods and services. These
companies do not retain, share, store or use personally
identifiable information for any other purposes.
Legal Disclaimer
We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable
information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure
is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial
proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Web site
Choice/Opt-out
We provide you the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having
your personally identifiable information used for certain purposes,
when we ask for this information. For example, if you
purchase a product/service but do not wish to receive any
additional marketing material from us, you can indicate your
preference on our order form.

communications, you may opt-out of receiving them by following the
instructions included in each newsletter or communication. We offer

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the
personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and
once we receive it. No method of transmission over the
Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure,
however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially
acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot
guarantee its absolute security.

merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion
of its assets, your personally identifiable information will likely
be among the assets transferred. You will be notified via
prominent notice on our Web site for 30 days of any such change in
ownership or control of your personal information.

changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places
we deem appropriate so that you are aware of what information we
collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we
disclose it.
We reserve the right to modify this privacy statement at any time,
so please review it frequently. If we make material changes
to this policy, we will notify you here, by email, or by means of a
notice on our home page.
