Any of the information we collect from you may be used in one of the following ways:

To personalize your experience – Your information helps us to better respond to your individual needs.

How We Keep Your Data Secure

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or enter, submit, or access your personal information.

We have use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway provider’s database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and who are required to keep the information confidential.

After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, etc.) will not be stored on our servers.

Who We Share Information With

This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.

We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety.

Non-personally identifiable information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

How Long We Keep Your Personal Data

We will hold your personal information on our systems only for as long as required to provide you with the products and/or services you have requested. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements; this retention period may extend past the point at which you close your account.

Where you sign up to receive email marketing from us we will retain your email address after you ‘opt-out’ of receiving emails to ensure that we continue to honor and respect that request. To unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time, please click on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any marketing email and update your account preferences.

In some circumstances, we may anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Personal Data – Your Rights

You have the rights shown below:

Right to Be Informed

You have the right to be informed about the data we collect and how we use it. That is the purpose of this document. If you have any questions about how we use your data, you can contact us as [email protected].

Right of Access

You may, at any time, request access to the personal data that we hold which relates to you (you may have heard of this right being described as a “subject access request”). Please note that this right entitles you to receive a copy of the personal data that we hold about you to enable you to check that it is correct and to ensure that we are processing that personal data lawfully. It is not a right that allows you to request personal data about other people, or a right to request specific documents from us that do not relate to your personal data. You can exercise this right at any time by writing to us at [email protected] and telling us that you are making a subject access request. You do not have to fill in a specific form to make this kind of request.

Your Right to Rectification and Erasure

You may, at any time, request that we correct personal data that we hold about you which you believe is incorrect or inaccurate.

You may also ask us to erase personal data if you do not believe that we need to continue retaining it (you may have heard of this right described as the “right to be forgotten”).

Please note that we may ask you to verify any new data that you provide to us and may take our own steps to check that the new data you have supplied us with is correct. Further, we are not always obliged to erase personal data when asked to do so; if for any reason we believe that we have a good legal reason to continue processing personal data that you ask us to erase, we will tell you what that reason is at the time we respond to your request.

You can exercise this right at any time by writing to us at [email protected] and telling us that you are making a request to have your personal data rectified or erased and on what basis you are making that request. If you want us to replace inaccurate data with new data, you should tell us what that new data is. You do not have to fill in a specific form to make this kind of request.

Your Right to Restrict Processing

Where we process your personal data on the basis of a legitimate interest (see the How We Use Your Data section of this Policy which explains why we use your personal data), you are entitled to ask us to stop processing it in that way if you feel that our continuing to do so impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms or if you feel that those legitimate interests are not valid.

You may also ask us to stop processing your personal data (a) if you dispute the accuracy of that personal data and want us to verify that data’s accuracy; (b) where it has been established that our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where we no longer need to process your personal data (and would otherwise dispose of it), but you wish for us to continue storing it in order to enable you to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Please note that if for any reason we believe that we have a good legal reason to continue processing personal data that you ask us to stop processing, we will tell you what that reason is, either at the time we first respond to your request or after we have had the opportunity to consider and investigate it.

You can exercise this right at any time by writing to us at [email protected] and telling us that you are making a request to have us stop processing the relevant aspect of your personal data and describing which of the above conditions you believe is relevant to that request. You do not have to fill in a specific form to make this kind of request.

Your Right to Portability

Where you wish to transfer certain personal data that we hold about you, which is processed by automated means, to a third party you may write to us and ask us to provide it to you in a commonly used machine-readable format.

Because of the kind of work that we do and the systems that we use, we do not envision this right being particularly relevant to most individuals with whom we interact. However, if you wish to transfer your data from us to a third party we are happy to consider such requests.

Your Right to Stop Receiving Communications

For details on your rights to ask us to stop sending you various kinds of communications, please contact us at [email protected].

Your Right to Object to Automated Decision-making and Profiling

You have the right to be informed about the existence of any automated decision making and profiling of your personal data, and where appropriate, be provided with meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisioned consequences of such processing that affects you. At this time, NPA has no automated decision-making tools. Any marketing materials or processing exercised on your account is based on the country you are in and the plan you have selected.

Exercising your Rights

If you wish to exercise any of these rights or simply wish to find out what information, if any, we hold that relates to you, you must make your request in writing by sending an email to [email protected] or a letter to NPA, Attention Privacy Team, 1610 Harrison St. #C, Oakland, CA 94612.

You can help us to process your request quickly by providing us with information that will help us identify records we hold that relate to you, for example, your email address you use on your NPA account, first and last names, and/or company name.
