If you would like to report any concerns or problems with one of our partners, please e-mail our customer service department at [email protected].
5. LOCATION AND INTERNATIONAL USERS
We obey all laws and regulations in the United States applicable to our collection, use, protection, transfer, and disclosure of your information. NNPN adheres to the U.S. Safe Harbor privacy principles. For more information about the Safe Harbor framework or our registration, see the Department of Commerce's Web site.
We make commercially reasonable efforts to protect the personal information of all our customers and other users of the Services. We attempt to comply with all local data protection and consumer rights laws to the extent they do not conflict with the laws of the United States of America. If you are unsure whether this privacy policy is in conflict with the applicable local rules where you are located, you should not submit your personal information to NNPN. You should note that your information will be transmitted and transferred to and from all the locations where our servers are located. This means your PII will be transmitted to a country other than the one in which you reside and the laws of which may be deemed by the European union to have inadequate data protection (see, e.g., the European Union Directive aka 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995).
6. CONSENT TO DATA TRANSFER INTERNATIONALLY
You hereby consent to the general use of such information as provided in this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use to the export/transfer/transmission of that information to and/or storage of the information to NNPN to the multiple locations and countries described above.
7. PRIVACY OF “PRIVATE NOTES”
Some user accounts permit users to upload comments and annotations (collectively, “Private Notes”) using the Private Notes function. Private Notes are just that, private, and may only be viewed by the user uploading the Private Note or anyone to whom that user has given permission to control or access their account.
8. SAFEGUARDING YOUR INFORMATION
We use commercially reasonable precautions and industry standard physical, electronic, and procedural security measures and confidentiality practices to protect your information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
All of our user's accounts are secured by your passwords.
All of your information is stored on our (including our contracted technology services providers') databases within our control. we continually assess new technology and storage systems for protecting information and upgrade our systems when appropriate. our employees, contractors, and agents are required to protect the confidentiality of your information in compliance with our established policies, and we endeavor to restrict access to non-public personal information to only our employees, contractors, and agents who have a valid business reason for access (customer service personnel, technical staff, etc.).
We shall maintain your PII for a period of twenty-four (24) months, following the termination or cancellation of the terms of this Privacy Policy and may thereafter, in our sole discretion, delete your profile and dispose of all or any portion of your PII at our convenience.
No system or Service, however, can give a 100% guaranty of security, especially a Service that relies upon the Internet and the public airwaves for wireless communications. Therefore, please note that we cannot guarantee the security of your information. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and many other factors may compromise the security of your information at any time. As such, you assume this risk when using the Services.
9. ACCESS TO ACCOUNT INFORMATION
You are solely responsible for ensuring all information you submit to us is reliable, current, complete, and accurate. We use commercially reasonable efforts to make sure you may update, correct, remove, or otherwise modify certain portions of your PII at anytime by logging into your account and by accessing the "Edit Profile" features provided therein.
You may not access your PII, however, if such access would violate a court order, jeopardize the security of the Web Site or Services, where the burden or expense of providing access is disproportionate to the risks to your privacy, or where the rights of other users/persons would be violated.
10. ENFORCEMENT
Employees and Contractors who violate our privacy policies are subject to our normal disciplinary process or contractual claims, including but not limited to termination.
11. CHANGES TO POLICY
We reserve the right, at our discretion, to from time to time change, modify, add, or remove portions from this policy at any time by posting such changes here. If we make any minor change to our privacy policy, we will post those changes on the Web Site. However, if we are going to use your PII in a significantly different manner from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify you either via e-mail or text message or by placing a prominent notice on the Web Site for thirty (30) days. you should review this policy regularly for changes.
Your continued use of the Web Site or Services following said posting of such changes or the receipt of said notice of any changes means you accept such changes and will bind you to the modified privacy policy.
If you do not wish to accept said changes to this Privacy Policy or be subject to the privacy practices as modified, you must cancel/terminate your Customer relationship with us or, alternatively, to the extent possible, opt out of said objectionable practice.

You should be aware that any PII which you voluntarily include and transmit through publicly accessible web pages may be viewed and used by anyone with access to such web pages. NNPN is unable to control such uses of your PII, and by using such Services you assume the risk that the PII provided by you may be viewed and used by third parties.
12. USER RESPONSIBILITIES
Should you log in to NNPN, make sure you sign out or close your browser once you have finished with any online activity. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information.
