The
NIA Group, LLC is strongly committed to
protecting your privacy while interacting with
our content, products and services. We want to
provide a safe and secure environment for you,
our valued clients.
The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to tell
you what kind of information we may gather about
you when you visit our site, how we may use that
information, whether we disclose it to anyone,
and the choices you have regarding our use of
this information. Our policy allows you to choose
what kind and how much information you provide
to us and to control how we use whatever information
you give us. Our goal is to provide you with a
satisfying experience while allowing you to control
your privacy and to give you a means to voice
any questions or concerns you may have.
This policy applies only to the NIA Group, LLC
website and not to other companies' or organizations'
websites to which the NIA Group, LLC is linked.
Collection of Information
Information is collected from you primarily
to make it easier and more rewarding for you to
use our services. Depending on the service you
are accessing, you could be asked to provide information
such as your name, email address or information
about what you like and do not like. It is entirely
your choice whether to respond to these questions
or not.
NIA Group, LLC collects two types of information.
The first type is anonymous information. For instance,
we may collect information to tell us that five
thousand people visited this Privacy Policy today,
but we do not know their names, where they live
or their date of birth - they are 'anonymous'
to us. Another example of NIA Group, LLC collecting
anonymous information is when NIA Group, LLC clients
are invited to respond to surveys on the NIA website.
The surveys may ask you for demographic information
such as your age, gender and zip code. This information
is collected for research purposes, is used in
the aggregate (where possible), and remains anonymous.
Many of the individuals who access our services
are anonymous to us.
The second type of information that NIA Group,
LLC collects is personal information. NIA Group,
LLC will collect personal information that lets
us know the specifics of who you are such as your
name, email address, or postal address, when you
provide it to us. With this information, NIA Group,
LLC can provide a variety of personalized and
enhanced services that are not available to anonymous
users. We hope that you will find it beneficial
to provide individually identifiable information
about yourself to us because it will make our
services more valuable to you.
Sometimes, we may specifically ask for personal
information about you when you sign up to use
a service. Certain information may be required,
such as your name, age, internet address or screen
name, billing address, type of computer, in order
to provide that service or product to you. This
information may also be used to inform you of
additional products and services which may interest
you.
How much of your personal information that you
choose to disclose to NIA Group, LLC is completely
up to you. The only way we know something about
you personally is if you provide it to us.
Use of anonymous information
NIA group, LLC automatically gathers anonymous
information to monitor the use of the NIA Group,
LLC website like the numbers and frequency of
visitors to the NIA Group, LLC website and its
areas, very much like television ratings that
tell the networks how many people tuned in to
a program. We only use such data in the aggregate.
This collective data helps us determine how much
our clients use parts of the site, so we can improve
the NIA group, LLC website to assure that it is
as appealing as we can make it for as many users
as possible. The NIA Group, LLC may publish or
provide this aggregate data to other people.
Use of personal information
We will only use the personal information you
have chosen to provide us for the purpose for
which you provided it. We will not use it for
any other purpose without your consent.
