WHAT INFORMATION ABOUT YOU DO WE COLLECT?
When you visit this Website, you may provide types of information: (1) personally identifiable information that you knowingly choose to disclose, which is collected on an individual basis, and (2) general user information that does not contain personally identifiable information, which is collected on an aggregate basis as you browse this Website. In some cases, if you choose not to provide the requested information, you may not be able to access all of this Website's content or services.

Personally Identifiable Information You Choose to Provide
You may be asked for certain personal information for the purpose of providing you with content and/or services that you request. For example, if you indicate an interest in receiving updated announcements regarding the ndei.org website, you are asked to submit your name and email address, which will be retained on file, so that the information you requested may be sent to you. If you indicate on the Profile form that you are a healthcare professional with a particular specialty, you may be sent information regarding educational opportunities that might be of interest to you. For the purpose of awarding CME credit, you may be asked for additional information, such as your ME, DEA, or social security number. You will also be asked for your name and email address each time you contact the NDEI via this Website by clicking on the "Feedback" link (http://www.ndei.org/content/feedback/). In order to respond appropriately to questions or concerns or for purposes of future communications, a record may be retained of users who have contacted this Website

Nonpersonally Identifiable Information 
Cookies/ Web server logs: Similar to commercial websites, this Website uses standard technology called cookies and web server logs to collect information about how this Website is used. Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a website. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user's web browser on the user's hard drive. Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at this Website, and the websites visited just before and just after this Website. The information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of the information is associated with you as an individual.

You can, of course, disable cookies on your computer by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. However, it is possible that some parts of this Website will not operate correctly if you disable cookies. Consult with your browser's provider/manufacturer if you have any questions regarding disabling cookies.

HOW DOES THE NDEI USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT?
Your personally identifiable information is used to provide you with information or content that you requested, and, in some cases, to contact you about NDEI programs, features, or services. If you no longer wish to receive information from ndei.org, you may send an email through the "Feedback" link (http://www.ndei.org/content/feedback/) or change your preferences by clicking on the MY NDEI>My Profile navigational button.

The NDEI uses non-identifying information collected on this Website in the aggregate to better understand your use of the Website and to enhance your enjoyment and experience. For example, the information may be used to improve the design and content of this Website or to analyze offered programs and services.

The NDEI may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on its behalf. Employees, agents, and contractors who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect the information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Statement.

Access to your personally identifiable information may be provided when legally required to do so, to cooperate with police investigations or other legal proceedings, to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of this Website, to limit the NDEI's legal liability and protect its rights, or to protect the rights and safety of visitors to this Website or the public. In those instances, the information is provided only for that limited purpose.

In the event that the company undergoes a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, users' personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.

Your personally identifiable information will not be shared in ways unrelated to those described above without providing you with an opportunity to opt out of such use or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

HOW DO YOU ACCESS AND/OR MODIFY YOUR INFORMATION OR CHOICES?
If you visit this Website and volunteer personally identifiable information, you may modify, update, or delete such information at any time by visiting the My NDEI>My Profile area where you will have the opportunity to access and revise certain of your personally identifiable information, and to update your preferences regarding what information you want to receive from ndei.org, or by clicking on the "Feedback" link (http://www.ndei.org/content/feedback/) and sending an email. You should be aware, however, that it is not always possible to completely remove or modify information in this Website's databases. In addition, please be aware that your ability to opt out from receiving supplemental materials does not change our right to contact you regarding your use of this Website.

PRIVACY PROTECTIONS FOR CHILDREN USING THE INTERNET
Protecting children's privacy is important to us. For that reason, information is not collected or maintained on this Website from those actually known to be under the age of 13 years, and no part of this Website is targeted to attract anyone under age13 years. All visitors to this Website who are under age 13 years are requested not to disclose or provide any personally identifiable information. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personally identifiable information, we will delete that child's personally identifiable information from our records.

DATA SECURITY
Reasonable steps are taken to maintain the security of the personally identifiable information that is collected on this Website, including limiting the number of people who have physical access to this Website's database servers, as well as installing electronic security systems that guard against unauthorized access. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us, so you do so at your own risk.
