Protecting your privacy is important to us.

Security

We will take commercially reasonable precautions to protect our user’s information both online and offline. We have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data security, and correctly use the information we collect online.

Identify Information

For registrants, we request information that includes; the registrant’s name, company name, address, phone number, email address, and other pertinent information. This type of information is considered “identifying information.” If you chose to provide identifying information to us, we will use and disclose it as described in this Policy. Otherwise we do not collect identifying information from visitors to the NJMEP Website, unless they voluntarily use our site to send us an e-mail message, participate in a survey, or fill out and send an on-line form.

Log Files

We use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movements on our Website and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. These log files contain statistical data used to analyze traffic patterns, specifically the user’s IP address, the date and time of the visit, the file requested by the user, the size of the file requested by the user, the status of the request (e.g. whether the request was successfully served by our web server software), and the referring URL which generated the request.

Use of Data

Identifying information will be used for the stated purpose of its submission. We may also use identifying information for editorial and feedback purposes, for marketing and promotional purposes, for a statistical analysis of users’ behavior, for product development, for content improvement, and/or to inform advertisers as to how many visitors have seen or clicked on their advertisements, and to customize content and layout of the NJMEP Website. Data on visitors’ home servers is aggregated for internal review and then discarded. Names, postal and e-mail addresses, and phone numbers collected may be added to our databases and used for future calls and mailings regarding site updates, new products and services, upcoming events, and status of orders placed online.

Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties

We may, at our option, share or otherwise disclose identifying information collected as described above with other individuals and organizations who may need to have access to such information in connection with our provision of services to you and who have agreed to maintain the confidentiality of such information. We will not share, rent, sell or otherwise disclose identifying information to third parties that market products and/or services. We reserve the right to release information as required by any governmental or law enforcement agency or under a court order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Collection of Identifying Information from Children

We do not attempt to collect identifying information from children. Identifying information sent to us, such as a registration or e-mail, which appears to be from a child, is deleted. We cannot always determine if the sender is a child.
