- What information is collected from me?

1. What information is collected from me?
NCA collects and stores the following types of information from users of our Web site: (i) information you voluntarily enter on our Web site or give us in any other way, including, but not limited to, “personally identifiable information” such as your name, address, e-mail address, phone number and facsimile number; (ii) information we collect from you through the use of “cookies” (see paragraph 2 below); and (iii) information we receive from you via e-mail communications.
2. What are cookies and how are they used?
NCA may place Internet cookies on your hard drive. Cookies are small files that may be downloaded to your hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Among other things, cookies are used to: (i) remind us of who you are in order to deliver better service; (ii) estimate our audience size by determining repeat usage of our Web site to help target advertisements based on user interests and behavior; (iii) track your progress and entries in promotions, sweepstakes and contests, if any; and (iv) measure certain traffic patterns for use as a research tool to understand how our users’ habits are similar or different from one another. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it. By not accepting cookies, some Web pages may not display properly or you may not be permitted to access certain information.
NCA also collects IP addresses (the Internet address of a computer) to track a user’s session while the user remains anonymous. We analyze this data for certain trends in statistics, such as which parts of our Web site users are visiting and how long they spend there. In general, we do not link your IP addresses to anything personally identifiable to you. In those limited cases where session information is not anonymous, NCA will provide you with notice of such practice and the opportunity to choose not to allow us to track your session.
3. How is my information used?
The personally identifiable information you provide will be used to support your customer relationship with NCA. Unless you have chosen to “opt-out” by notifying NCA at info@newcenturyag.com, NCA may sell, rent, or lease your personally identifiable information to, or share your personally identifiable information with, third parties. Your personally identifiable information may be shared with our agents, contractors or business partners in order that they may perform services for NCA, regardless of whether or not you have chosen to “opt-out” as set forth above.
We want to help you quickly find information on NCA and alert you to specific offers, updated information, and other new products and services from NCA. Accordingly, we may send you direct mailings or contact you by telephone about our various products and services or other products and services we feel may be of interest to you. You may choose not to receive such mailings or telephone calls by the means provided for in the mailings or by contacting us at info@newcenturyag.com. NCA does research on our users’ demographics, interests and behavior based on the information provided to us during your use of our Web site. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis. Aggregated data does not include personally identifiable information. NCA may share this aggregated data with others. We will release your personally identifiable information when we believe that such release is appropriate to (i) comply with the law; (ii) enforce or apply our Terms of Access and other agreements; or (iii) protect the rights, property or safety of NCA, our users or others. This includes, but is not limited to, exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk protection.
Please be aware that NCA advertisers or Web sites that have links on our site may collect personally identifiable information from you. The information practices of those Web sites linked to NCA either through advertisements or other hyperlinks are not covered by this privacy statement.
4. How can I access, update or delete my information?
You can request the individual information that NCA has collected about you, correct factual inaccuracies in your information, remove personal information from NCA’s databases and/or update your personal information by contacting NCA at info@newcenturyag.com.
5. What else should I know about my privacy?
Third party Internet sites and services accessible through NCA have separate privacy and data collection practices, independent of us. NCA has no responsibility or liability for these independent policies or actions. Please be careful and responsible online. If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. While we strive to protect your information, NCA does not ensure or warrant the security of any information through the transmission process, and you transmit information to NCA at your own risk.
6. What about my children and their use of your Web site?
Children should always ask a parent for permission before sending personal information to anyone online. NCA encourages parents to take an active role in their children’s use of the Internet and to spend time online with their children. NCA will use its best efforts not to collect personal information for those identifying themselves as age 17 or under.
