Introduction
The National Association of Business Owners & Entrepreneurs (NABOE), the owner of www.NABOE.org, is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of its members and guests. This privacy policy describes what information NABOE will collect from members and guests, such as yourself, and how we will use that information once it's collected. This policy does not apply to the practices of any third party, affiliate, or business partner that NABOE does not own or control.
What web sites does this policy apply to?
This privacy policy applies to NABOE's web site, www.NABOE.org. It does not apply to Web sites of any NABOE member, affiliate, section, division, or chapter. It does not apply to web sites operated by organizations or groups who associate themselves in any way with NABOE. It does not apply to any other web sites, including those which have hypertext links to the NABOE web site.
Collection of personal and non-personal data
If you browse NABOE's web site, you do so anonymously. We do not collect your computer IP address, country of origin or any other personal information. If you select the "remember me" option on log in, we will collect your first and last name, your user name and password. We do this by placing a small bit of data called a "cookie" on your computer (see more about cookies below). Online forms are available for you to request information, to complete surveys and to register for events. We collect and retain the information you provide to us via these forms, such as your name, mailing address and e-mail address. We may use this information to provide you with information about upcoming events, products and services offered by NABOE. We collect this information about you only if you voluntarily provide contact information within these forms.
Control of your personal information
NABOE will not sell or share your e-mail address with other organizations, however we may occasionally use this information ourselves to send you information about National, Section or Affiliate events that may interest you. We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including electronic newsletter delivery and mailing services. We will only provide those companies with the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose. If you supply your personal information to an NABOE partner, such as within the Placement Services area, please be aware that NABOE no longer has control over the use of your personal information. We will not knowingly partner with companies that abuse personal information. However, be aware that our partner companies may contact you if you choose to conduct business with them.
Disclosure of your personal information
NABOE may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) satisfy a legal order or comply with legal process; (b) defend the rights of NABOE or its affiliates or business partners; or (c) protect the personal safety of NABOE employees, agents, affiliates, business partners, customers or web site users.

Cookies
What is a cookie? A cookie is a tiny piece of information that a Web site stores on your computer during your visit. When you revisit the Web site, your browser sends this bit of information back to the site. Cookies allow Web sites to maintain information on a particular user. For example, an online bookstore might use a cookie to identify you so it can store the contents of your shopping cart. Most Web browsers can be configured to notify you when cookies arrive and can either ask your approval to accept them, or they can be set to refuse cookies outright. Most browsers also can let you delete cookies you may have accepted in the past.
NABOE cookies
NABOE uses cookies to help guide members through our Web site (as described above) and to keep track of your shopping carts: A unique ID is assigned to each shopping session. Our Web server sends the shopping cart ID to your computer. If your browser is configured to accept cookies, the unique ID is stored on your computer and sent back to our Web server. This unique ID is retrieved and used by the server to keep track of the contents of your shopping cart, which is stored on our server. At the present time, NABOE cookies will be deleted automatically when you quit the browser, unless you are a member and check the "remember me on this Web site" box when you log in. This may change in the future as NABOE strives to personalize your Web experience with us. The NABOE Web site cookie will not damage your system or files in any way.
Your credit card information
We do not store your credit card information, such as your card number and card expiration date, when you register for events.
Security
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. We use a secure server to transmit sensitive data to and from our site. All data (including your credit card information) transmitted through our secure Web server is encrypted so no one else can read it.
NABOE privacy policy changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy for www.NABOE.org, we will post the modifications so that you will always know what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we will disclose it to anyone.
