The NVF recognizes and respects your need for privacy and security. When you view pages, read product information, or use our on-line tools, you do so without revealing any personal information. We use standard software to collect basic information for the strict purpose of tracking activity. This allows us to better understand how many people use our site and which pages and features are most popular. The information we collect and store is:
- The name of your Internet service provider
- The web site that referred you to us (if any)
- The date and time the pages were accessed
- The page or pages requested
There are instances where you may elect to provide us with personal information. If you fill out one of our feedback or request forms or send us email, you are transmitting the information that appears to you in the form or in the message. This will typically include information such as your name, mailing address, email address, the kind of request you are making, and any other information necessary to fulfill your request. You never transmit personally identifying information that you do not enter yourself. This information is used only for the purpose of fulfilling the request or for contacting you directly and is not given or sold to any other organization.
When you submit personally identifying information via one of our feedback or application forms, that information is encrypted, or scrambled, by your browser before it is transmitted back to our web site. This prevents anyone from intercepting and reading personal information about you. Note that this encryption does not take place if you send us email, but only when you use your web browser with one of our site's forms.
We hope you find our website useful and informative, and we are always willing to answer questions and receive suggestions. If you have either, please e-mail Raymond Boissy at boissyre@ucmail.uc.edu. Thank you.
We reserve the right to change our privacy policy. A revised policy statement will only apply to data collected subsequent to its effective date.
