				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>What Information Do We Collect?</strong><br />
We only collect information from you when you apply to our membership, subscribe to our journal or newsletter, request educational materials, apply for a scholarship, request certification, register for educational conferences, purchase online merchandise or respond to a survey or fill out a form.</p>

<p><strong>How Do We Protect Your Information?</strong><br />
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you place an order or access your personal information.</p>
<p>We offer the 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 Providers database only to be accessible by those authorized with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.</p>
<p>After a transaction, your private information (credit cards, social security numbers, financials, etc.) will be kept on file for more than 60 days in order to complete program reconciliation.</p>
<p><strong>Do We Use Cookies?</strong><br />
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the sites or service providers’ systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.</p>
<p>We use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart and compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.</p>
<p>If you prefer, you can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies via your browser settings. Like most websites, if you turn your cookies off, some of our services may not function properly. However, you can still place orders by contacting customer service.</p>
<p><strong>Do We Disclose Any Information To Outside Parties?</strong><br />
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. 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. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.</p>
<p>Third Party Links<br />
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third party products or services on our website. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.</p>
<p>California Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance<br />
Because we value your privacy we have taken the necessary precautions to be in compliance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act. We therefore will not distribute your personal information to outside parties without your consent.</p>
<p>Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance<br />
We are in compliance with the requirements of COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act). We do not collect any information from anyone under 13 years of age. Our website, products and services are all directed to people who are at least 13 years old or older.</p>
<p>Online Privacy Policy Only<br />
This online privacy policy applies only to information collected through our website and not to information collected offline.</p>
<p>Conditions of Use<br />
Welcome to nadona.org. The site has been developed by NADONA/LTC. NADONA/LTC and its affiliates provide their services to you subject to the following conditions. If you visit or shop at nadona.org, you accept these conditions. Please read them carefully.</p>
<p>Electronic Communications<br />
When you visit nadona.org or send e-mails to us, you are communicating with us electronically. You consent to receive communications from us electronically. We will communicate with you by e-mail or by posting notices on this site. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.</p>
<p>Security/Internet Commerce</p>
<p>Help Protect Yourself<br />
Data Encryption. If you are using a security-enabled browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer version 2.1 or greater, or Firefox), the information you send us regarding your purchase is encrypted, making it extremely difficult to read even if it is wrongly intercepted. NADONA/LTC and its affiliates utilize industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of: potentially sensitive information such as your name, address, and critically sensitive information like your credit card number.</p>
<p>Paying attention to two browser features will decrease the chances for the unintended or fraudulent use of your personal information:</p>
<p>1. Browser Security Settings<br />
Your browser security preference settings are your first line of defense to stopping the theft or unwanted viewing of confidential, personal information. The most popular browsers offer you the ability to receive an alert or notification if any of the following happen or are about to occur:</p>
<p>* changing between secure and insecure transmission modes<br />
* receiving an invalid site identification for the site to which you are about to transmit<br />
* sending a transmission over an &#8220;open&#8221; or unsecured connection</p>
<p>If your credit card company: (a) determines that the charges were fraudulent charges resulting from your online purchase at any of our sites, and (b) holds you liable for any of the unauthorized charges, contact us immediately.<br />
For your convenience, you can contact us by e-mail or by mail. In order to help you, we will need the following information:<br />
Name<br />
E-mail address<br />
Mailing address<br />
Phone number</p>
<p>Check the settings of your browser security features to see all the checks that are possible and those that are currently in place.</p>
<p>2. Browser Security Signals<br />
The presence of security measures surrounding the entry of data on a web page is identified in several ways for you on your browser:</p>
<p>* The URL identifying the page will always begin with &#8220;https://&#8221; versus the normal &#8220;http://&#8221;<br />
* A security symbol to indicate operation in a mode that supports secure transmissions<br />
* A &#8220;closed lock&#8221; icon is present in the bottom right-hand corner of your Microsoft Internet Explorer browser screen<br />
* An &#8220;unbroken key&#8221; icon appears in the lower left-hand corner of the Netscape Navigator browser screen</p>
<p>We hope that once you understand the measures we employ and the steps you can take to protect yourself, you will be as confident about the security of your transactions and personal information as we are.</p>
