2. INFORMATION COLLECTED BY NSS
2.1 General Users - In general, you can visit this Site
without telling us who you are or revealing any information
about yourself. NSS‘s web servers may collect the domain names, not
the e-mail addresses, of visitors. This data helps us determine what is
most beneficial for our users and how to continually create a better
overall experience for them. This data does not include personally identifying
information.
NSS may gather Personal Information so that we can improve and
personalize your experience with NSS. Information that we collect falls
into the following primary categories. We may receive Personal
Information that you enter into the Site, provide in an online form, or
provide in any other way. You can choose not to provide some or all of
the Personal Information we ask for, but this may prevent you from using
some of our Site's services and/or features.
In addition to the preceding categories of Personal Information, NSS also
collects certain non-identifiable information (the
“Non–Identifiable Information”). Whenever you interact
with NSS, we receive and store certain types of Non–Identifiable
Information. For example, we may use “cookies” to obtain
information when your web browser accesses this Site. A cookie is an
alphanumeric identifier which we transfer to your computer via your Web
browser and store on your computer's hard drive. The cookie file allows
us to recognize your computer when you visit our Site. On most web
browsers you will find a “help” section on the toolbar.
Please refer to this section for information on how to receive
notification when you are receiving a new cookie, and how to turn cookies
off. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they may
enable you to take advantage of some of our Site’s best features.
2.2 Customers - In order to provide some of
the services on nationalsecuritysystems.net, we ask you to provide
personal information such as, for example, your name, e-mail
address, home or business address, phone number and existing account
numbers. Once you choose to provide us with personal information, you can
be assured it will be used only to support your customer relationship
with NSS. This includes responding to your requests, customizing your
experience on our website, improving our services, and communicating with
you about your account and about products and services we think will be
of interest to you

3. HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
NSS uses the Personal Information you provide in a manner that is
consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Information
for a certain reason, we may use it in connection with the reason for

use the Personal Information you provide to answer your question or
resolve your problem. If you contact us about a job listing, we may use
your Personal Information to consider you for the position. NSS also uses
your Personal Information and other Non-Identifiable Information
collected through the Site to help us improve the content and
functionality of the Site, to better understand our customers and
markets, and to improve our products and services. NSS may also use your
Personal Information to contact you, electronically or otherwise, in the
future to tell you about products or services we believe will be of
interest to you or to make it easier for you to use our site. If we do
so, each communication we send you will contain instructions permitting
you to “opt-out” of receiving future communications.

considered public. NSS does not control, and is not responsible for, the

information such as zip code. If you choose to participate in any survey
or contest, the information you provide will be shared with the contest /
survey sponsors to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey

14. UNSOLICITED E-MAIL
If you have received an unsolicited e-mail from NSS, you may have
received it from a third party not affiliated in any way with NSS. NSS
does not engage in, nor do we condone the practice of sending out mass
emails that are unsolicited by their recipients. Unfortunately, some
third parties and individuals can create e-mail messages with forged
addresses in the FROM: field. This can have the effect of making the
message look more legitimate. If you receive such an e-mail, please be
aware that these messages originate completely outside of NSS’s
e-mail system and therefore we have little or no control over them. In
most cases we may not even know this is taking place.
Please be sure that we are taking every measure available to us to
prevent this type of occurrence but, at this time we are unable to
guarantee that it can be completely eliminated. Additionally, if we do
send e-mail to our customers, we will, where appropriate, allow the
recipient to request not to be contacted in the future.
