NACE will provide a link to this privacy policy on all pages that ask for your personal information. NACElink has a separate privacy policy which can be found at http://www.nacelink.com/nl_privacy_policy.asp.
The following privacy policy explains our practices for gathering and using information form our members and visitors to our web sites.
Cookies and IP Addresses
NACE tracks IP addresses to measure traffic on our sites. We do not use IP addresses to determine any user's identity. Members who use our web sites are required to accept cookies. A cookie is a piece of data that our server stores when you visit our web sites. These cookies save your password so that you don't have to re-enter during your session. In addition, some cookies coordinate banner advertising seen on the NACE web sites. Cookies also track the pages that you have visited. The only personal information that a cookie contains is information you supply. A cookie cannot read other data from your computer's hard disk.
Outside Web Sites and Banner Advertisers
The NACE web sites, JobWeb and NACEWeb, contain links to other sites. NACE is not responsible for the privacy practices of such web sites. Inclusion of links to an outside web site, whether in an advertisement or content area of a NACE web sites, is not an endorsement of the outside web site or a guarantee that the information it contains is accurate.
NACE web sites also contain banner advertising from employers or vendors of products and services that may be of interest to you.

You should contact the advertiser to determine its polices regarding use of cookies.
Forms
You may be asked to use an online form to request information, products, and services. These forms typically ask for contact information (such as your phone number or e-mail address), unique identifiers (such as your NACE membership number or account number), financial information (such as a credit card number), and demographic information (for example, your age, location, type of organization, size of organization). Contact information from these forms is used to send the products, promotional materials or membership information that you request, or to register you for roundtables, conferences, or workshops. Forms on our site that request financial information do so in order to bill for products or services ordered. Unique identifiers (specifically, your password or member number) are collected from members to verify the user's identity and for use in our record system. Information from these forms is also used by NACE to send you information about products, services, conferences, and other information that may be if interest to you. If you do not want to receive mailings (regular or electronic) from NACE, please see the "opt-out" section below.
Mailing Labels/E-mail Addresses
NACE makes membership mailing labels available to other reputable organizations whose products or services we think you might find interesting. The mailing labels contain your name, organization, and postal address. They do not include your e-mail address, fax, or phone number. If you do not want to receive any mail (regular from any organization to which NACE sells its membership mailing labels, please see the "opt-out" section below.
NACE does not sell or provide any of the e-mail addresses, phone numbers, or other personally identifiable information that it collects on its web sites to any individual or organization for commercial purposes. NACE uses the information collected to improve the content of our web sites; to enhance existing products, services, and member benefits; and to plan for new products, services, and member benefits. NACE may also collect aggregate information about which pages visitors access as they use the NACE web sites. In addition, contact information may be provided to a third party to facilitate delivery of NACE-related materials, e.g., electronic newsletters; in such circumstances, the third party agrees not to sell or use the information except for the purposes NACE contracted.
Communities Section of NACEWeb
NACE makes networking and chat opportunities available to our members through the NACEWeb communities. Any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information, and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information. NACE cannot control the acts of its members who use the communities feature. If you disclose personal information, such as your name, e-mail address, mailing address, and phone number, they may be used by other members for unsolicited e-mail or other contact.
In our communities section, NACE collects all contact names, e-mail addresses, and dialogue. Dialogue in the communities may be archived for later retrieval by a NACE member. Messages go to the archives as they are posted. NACE does not edit discussions provided through the communities section.
Security
When users submit personally identifiable information via the web site, the information is protected both online and off-line.
When registration/order/sign-up form(s) ask users to enter credit card number information, that information is encrypted and protected.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user information off-line. All of our user's information—not just the sensitive information mentioned above—is restricted to only the employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing assistant or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. All employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
This site uses firewalls to protect from loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.
