NuSite Statement of Privacy
(last updated: February 2003)
NuSite is committed to protecting your privacy. This NuSite Statement
of Privacy applies to NuSite's family of Web sites and governs data
collection and usage at all NuSite sites and services; it does not
apply to other online or offline NuSite sites, products or services.
Please read the NuSite Statement of Privacy below and also any
supplementary information at the end of this statement for additional
details about particular NuSite sites and services that you may use.
NuSite is a general audience web site, intended for users of all ages.
Personal information of all users is collected, used and disclosed as
described in this Statement of Privacy.
Other NuSite services linked to from this Web site, Wilkmfg.com and
Wilkmfg.net, have their own statements of privacy which can be viewed
by clicking on the links.
Collection of your Personal Information
At some sites, NuSite collects personal information, such as your
e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. NuSite
may also collect demographic information, such as your ZIP code, age,
gender, preferences, interests and favorites. Information collected by
NuSite may be combined with information obtained from other NuSite
services and other companies.
NuSite also collects certain information about your computer hardware
and software. This information may include: your IP address, browser
type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses.
This information is used by NuSite for the operation of the service,
to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics
regarding use of NuSite.
NuSite keeps track of the pages our customers visit within NuSite, in
order to determine what NuSite sites and services are the most
popular. This data is also used by NuSite to deliver customized
content and advertising to customers whose behavior indicates that
they are interested in a particular subject area.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personal information
through NuSite Chats, NuSite Groups, or other public online forums,
this information may be collected and used by others.
NuSite encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites
you choose to link to from NuSite so that you can understand how those
Web sites collect, use and share your information. NuSite is not
responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites
outside of the NuSite family of Web sites.
Use of your Personal Information
NuSite and its operational service partners collect and use your
personal information to operate NuSite and deliver the services you
have requested. NuSite also uses your personal information to inform
you of other products or services available from NuSite and its
affiliates. NuSite may also contact you via surveys to conduct
research about your opinion of current services or of potential new
products that may be offered.
NuSite does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third
parties. NuSite may, from time to time, contact you regarding a
particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases,
your personal information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is
not transferred to the third party.
We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on
our behalf, such as handling the processing and delivery of mailings,
providing customer support, processing transactions, or performing
statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those
companies the personal information they need to deliver the service.
They are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information
and are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
NuSite does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such
as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit
consent.
NuSite may access and/or disclose your personal information if
required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action
is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with
legal process served on NuSite or the site; (b) protect and defend the
rights or property of NuSite, including its NuSite family of Web
sites; or (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal
safety of users of NuSite, its web sites, or the public.
Personal information collected on this site may be stored and
processed in the United States or any other country in which NuSite or
its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents maintain facilities, and by
using this site, you consent to any such transfer of information
outside of your country. NuSite abides by the safe harbor framework as
set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection,
use, and retention of data from the European Union.
Control your Personal Information
There are some NuSite services, including NuSite Internet Access and
Customer Access, that send out periodic e-mails informing you of
technical service issues, product surveys, new feature announcements
and news about NuSite products and services. You will not be able to
unsubscribe to these mailings, as they are considered a part of the
service you have chosen.
Security of your Personal Information
NuSite is committed to protecting the security of your personal
information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures
to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access,
use, or disclosure. For example, we store the personal information you
provide on computer systems with limited access, that are located in
controlled facilities. When we transmit highly confidential
information (such as a credit card number) over the Internet, we
protect it through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) protocol.
Use of Cookies
NuSite uses "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience.
A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page
server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to
your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be
read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize NuSite's
pages, or register with NuSite sites or services, a cookie helps
NuSite to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This
simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as
billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to
NuSite, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so
you can easily use the NuSite features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline
cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive
features of the NuSite services or Web sites you visit.
Use of Web Beacons
NuSite Web pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons -
sometimes called single-pixel gifs - that allow NuSite to count users
who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services.
NuSite may include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or
NuSite Newsletters in order to count how many messages have been
opened and acted upon. Web beacons are not used to access your
personal information on the NuSite network of sites and services; they
are a technique we use to compile aggregated statistics about NuSite
Web site usage.
Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a
cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the
page on which the Web beacon resides. NuSite Web pages may also
contain Web beacons placed there by our advertising partners to help
determine the effectiveness of our Internet advertising campaigns.
Use of Third Party Ad Networks
The majority of the online banner advertisements you see on NuSite Web
pages are displayed by NuSite.
Changes to this Statement
NuSite will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect
company and customer feedback. When NuSite posts changes to this
Statement, you will see the word "updated" next to the Privacy
Statement link on the front page of NuSite. If there are material
changes to this Statement or in how NuSite will use your personal
information, NuSite will prominently post such changes prior to
implementing the change. NuSite encourages you to periodically review
this Statement to be informed of how NuSite is protecting your
information.
