NCDRD is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy applies to the NCDRD site and governs data collection and usage. By using the NCDRD site, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Collection of your Personal Information

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by NCDRD. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used by NCDRD for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the NCDRD site.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through NCDRD public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: NCDRD does not read any of your private online communications.

NCDRD encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from NCDRD so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. NCDRD is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the NCDRD and NCDRD family of Web sites.

Use of your Personal Information

NCDRD does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

NCDRD Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only 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 NCDRD or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of NCDRD; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of NCDRD, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The NCDRD Web site use "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. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize NCDRD pages, or register with NCDRD site or services, a cookie helps NCDRD 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 the same NCDRD Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the NCDRD 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 NCDRD services or Web sites you visit.
