Website Privacy and Personally Identifiable Information

NDIZ recognizes that you may share personally identifiable information with NDIZ through its website, and NDIZ respects the privacy of any visitor to this website. NDIZ is committed to only using information collected through this website for the purposes for which it is collected, as expressed or implied when the information is collected. Unless we have permission (or permission of a parent or guardian for minors), NDIZ does not sell/share your personally identifiable information collected through the NDIZ website to any third parties (other than agents, contractors or service providers of NDIZ, all of which are required to agree to not share or sell your information). Consent is not required if NDIZ is legally required or permitted to share your personally identifiable information with third parties, including without limitation to responding to court orders or subpoenas.

​

Voluntary Information Collection

Whenever you use the NDIZ website to interact with NDIZ, including without limitation to request information, leave a comment, make an inquiry, contribute a gift or donation, or contact NDIZ staff, then personal information may be requested in that process. This information is used to fulfill your request, and this information may be maintained by NDIZ to fulfill related purposes in the future.

​

NDIZ implements appropriate security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the personally identifiable information under our control. Some types of personally identifiable information that might be collected, if you provide it, includes your name, date of birth, phone number, email address, physical address, or any combination of information that could be used to identify you.

​

Automatic Information Collection

As with most internet websites, unless you take steps to visit the NDIZ website anonymously, the NDIZ website automatically tracks computer-based web browsing patterns when you log on to the NDIZ website. This is primarily done to assist NDIZ with website analytics to improve its website and web presence to better serve its constituents. The information we collect is based on your Internet Protocol ("IP") address, and is not linked to your specific email address in any of the reports or other material compiled by NDIZ. Your IP address is a series of numbers that identifies the location of each computer or network. The information we gather may include, but is not limited to, the browser type, the date and time of the request, average time spent on the website, pages viewed and any inquiries that you may have made. We do not associate your IP address and web usage data with any other information held by NDIZ that can specifically identify you unless required to do so by law. 

​

​

Disclosure of Information

NDIZ may disclose personally identifiable information to respond to legal requirements and enforce our rules and policies. Such information will be disclosed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
