This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by any third party, including through any form, website, plug-in or other application that may link to or be accessible from our Website. Although we make efforts to select reputable third-party partners and oversee their performance of their responsibilities, we do not control and are not responsible for the privacy and security policies and practices of such third parties and recommend that you carefully review their privacy policies as they may differ from our own.

Collection of Personal Information

As further described below, we collect personal information in different ways through our Website, including (1) directly from you when you provide it to us, and (2) through the use of automatic data collection technologies, such as server logs, cookies, and Google Analytics.

Information You Provide to Us

While using our Website, you may provide us with personal information that may include, but is not limited to, your name, physical address, e-mail address, phone number and other contact information, and any other information you provide by filing in forms or making search queries.

We may use this information to provide you with information, services, or products that you request from us; respond to your comments and questions; provide you with information and materials about our services and products, such as electronic newsletters and promotional emails; fulfill any other purpose for which you provide personal information; and/or fulfill any other lawful business purpose.

We do not store search terms entered into the NYA search engine in a manner that links them to individual users or their persistent personal identifiers (such as name, e-mail address, etc.).

Automatic Information Collection; Cookies; Google Analytics

As further described below, we use server logs, cookies, and third-party analytics providers (which use cookies and other tracking technologies) such as Google Analytics to help us analyze how users interact with and use the Website, compile reports on the Website’s activity and about our user base as a whole, diagnose problems with our server, and administer, present, personalize, improve, and maintain our Website, including by identifying which parts of the Website are most heavily used and which portion of our audience comes from within the NYA network.

Server Logs: When you interact with the Website, servers automatically record usage information your browser or device sends such as IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamps, and related data.  This information may be stored in log files.  We do not store this information in a manner that links it to individual users or their persistent personal identifiers (such as name, e-mail address, etc.).

Cookies: We use “cookies,” which are pieces of information that our Website sends to your computer while you are viewing our Website.  We primarily use cookies to allow users to customize the calendars they view and to test and optimize our Website’s design and content.  We do not store the information we collect using cookies in a manner that links it to individual users or their persistent personal identifiers (such as name, e-mail address, etc.).

Analytics Partners: We partner with third-party analytics providers like Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use our Website.  We do not provide any personal information about our users to these analytics partners, but in order to perform services for us, they set their own cookies that allow them to collect usage information directly from our Website.  The information generated by Google Analytics is transmitted to and stored by Google and will be subject to Google’s privacy policies, which can be view by clicking here.  To learn more about Google’s partner services and to learn how to opt out of tracking of analytics by Google, click here.

Security

Our Website has reasonable security measures in place designed to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.  Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we take measures to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its security. Any transmission of personal information to or using our Website is at your own risk.
