We do not link Non-Personal Information from Cookies to Personally Identifiable Information without your permission and do not use Cookies to collect or store Personal Information about you.

PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU
We collect Personally Identifiable Information that you provide to us when you register as a member of NAELB and/or when you update your member profile. We use the Personally Identifiable Information that you provide to respond to your questions, provide you the specific services you select, send you emails about website maintenance and updates, and inform you of significant changes to this Privacy Policy.
A. Newsletters & Emails to You
At registration and at various times as you use the NAELB Website and other benefits associated with the Website, you will be given the option of receiving recurring informational/promotional newsletters via email from NAELB. At the time you sign up for our email newsletters or any time thereafter, you can choose to Opt Out of receiving additional promotional emails from NAELB.
In order to subscribe to such newsletters via email, we need your contact information, such as name and email address. You can unsubscribe from the newsletters by contacting the NAELB Administrator at 800-99-NAELB. In some cases, when you click on a link or an advertisement in an e-mail or newsletter, your browser may be momentarily directed to the website of a third party which, acting on behalf of NAELB, notes or "counts" your response to the e-mail or newsletter before re-directing your browser to its proper destination; this re-direction process will not be apparent to you.
B. Message Boards and other Public Forums
As a service to our users, NAELB features message boards, chat rooms and other public forums where members can share information.
Any information shared (including Personally Identifiable Information) that you reveal in a message board is by design open to other members and is not a private, secure service. You should think carefully before disclosing any Personally Identifiable Information in any forum. What you have written may be seen, disclosed to or collected by third parties and may be used by others in ways we are unable to control or predict, including to contact you for unauthorized purposes.
C. Paid Member Benefits
From time to time, NAELB offers its members paid member benefit services.

The Service Agreement will be disclosed to you by the benefit provider at the time of registration for that member benefit.

Some advertisers use companies other than NAELB to serve their ads and to monitor users' responses to ads, and these companies ("Ad Servers") may also collect Non-Personal Information through the use of Cookies or Web Beacons on our website. In certain situations, information collection may be facilitated by momentarily directing your browser to the website of an Ad Server or other third party acting on behalf of the sponsor, partner, or advertiser before re-directing your browser to its proper destination (e.g., back to NAELB to show the ad, or to the advertiser's website); this re-direction process will not be apparent to you. We do not control these third parties' use of Cookies or Web Beacons, or how they manage the Non-Personal Information they gather through them.

We will only release Personally Identifiable Information to third parties: (1) to comply with valid legal requirements such as a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena or court order; or (2) in special cases, such as a physical threat to you or others.
