Thank you for visiting The Nonprofit Assistance Center web site and reviewing our Privacy Notice. This statement addresses collection, use and security of and access to information that may be obtained through use of our web site. 

Information Collected and How it is Used 

Information collected if you only browse this site

If you do nothing during your visit to our web site but browse or download information, we will gather and store certain information about your visit. This information does not identify you personally. We automatically collect and store the following information about your visit: 

1. The Internet Protocol Address and domain name used. The Internet Protocol address is a numerical identifier assigned either to your Internet service provider or directly to your computer. We use the Internet Protocol Address to direct Internet traffic to you. This address can be translated to determine the domain name of your service provider (e.g. acompany.com or yourschool.edu); 

2. The type of browser and operating system you used; 

3. The date and time you visited this site; 

4. The web pages or services you accessed at this site; 

5. The web site you visited prior to coming to this web site. 

The information we automatically collect or store is logged and used by The Nonprofit Assistance Center only to improve the content of our web services and to help us understand how people are using our services. Our website analyzes this information to determine how our web site is being used, so that we may continually improve the site's usefulness. 

What we collect if you volunteer information 

If during your visit to our web site you participate in a survey, send an email, or perform some other transaction on-line, the following additional information will be collected: 

1. The email address, and contents of email, for those who communicate with us via email; 

2. Information volunteered in response to a survey; 

3. Information volunteered through an on-line form for any other purpose. 

The information collected is not limited to text characters and may include audio, video, and graphic information formats you send us. 

We use your email to respond appropriately. This may be to respond to you, to address issues you may identify, to further improve our web site, or to forward the email to another agency for appropriate action. Survey information is used to supplement the log file and improve customer satisfaction. 

Personal Information and Choice

You may choose whether to provide personal information on-line. 

"Personal information" is information about a natural person that is readily identifiable to that specific individual. Personal information includes such things as an individual's name, address, and phone number. A domain name or Internet Protocol address is not considered personal information. 

We collect no personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us by sending us email, participating in a survey, or completing an on-line form. You may choose not to contact us by email, participate in a survey or to provide any personal information using an online form. Your choice to not participate in these activities will not impair your ability to browse our Website, and read or download any information provided on the site. 

If personal information is requested on the web site or volunteered by the user, state law and the federal Privacy Act of 1974 may protect it. 

If you believe that your personal and/or private information is being used for a purpose other than what was intended when submitted, you may contact The Nonprofit Assistance Center by clicking here. 

Users are cautioned that the collection of personal information requested from or volunteered by children on-line or by email will be treated the same as information given by an adult.
