Protection of personal privacy has always been a hallmark of NELI. Since its inception in 1995, NELI has maintained the anonymity of each survey respondent unless express consent to the release of a respondent's personal information or individual responses has been provided by that respondent. In a like manner, NELI protects the identity of individuals who access its Web sites. Please read the following policy for further details as to the types of information collected through NELI Web sites, including personal information, and how it is treated.
Information Collected by NELI Web Sites: NELI Web sites gather information in two ways: (1) indirectly (for example, through our site's technology), and (2) directly (for example, when you, the site visitor, voluntarily provide information on various pages).
Information Collected Indirectly: NELI indirectly collects a variety of information pertaining to use of its Web sites. One type of this information is that which is related to site traffic volume and patterns, such as the number of visitors to a given site or page on a daily basis. This type of indirectly collected information is gathered through various means, such as an IP address, which is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web. Web servers, the computers that "serve up" Web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you visit a page from NELI, our servers log your computer's IP address.
Only designated administrators can access this information, and it is used only for administrative and planning purposes to meet the needs of our users, such as to improve the content of the site and to customize the content and/or layout of the site for individuals or groups of users.
Other types of indirectly collected information are stored in "cookies." Cookies are small files of electronic information that a Web site can transfer to a visitor's hard drive to help that visitor while on the site. Some NELI sites use cookies simply to store a user code so that the user does not have to re-enter their information when rejoining the site. The use of cookies is standard on the Internet. Although most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, the decision of whether to accept them is yours. A browser can usually be adjusted to prevent the reception of cookies, or to provide notification whenever a cookie is sent to you. Even without accepting a cookie, users can still access most of the features offered by NELI Web sites.
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may use cookies and action tags to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and action tags is completely anonymous.
Information Collected Directly: NELI also collects information that is voluntarily provided by site visitors, such as a name or an e-mail address. When NELI collects this type of information, we will notify you as to why we are asking for the information and how it will be used. It is entirely your decision to provide the requested information. Such personal data is collected when a site visitor registers with a site or requests Web services. This information is kept totally confidential, and will be used only to contact you. You may choose to have this information removed at any time. NELI will never barter, trade, or sell access to our database of registered users.
REVIEWS, COMMENTS, COMMUNICATIONS, AND OTHER CONTENT
Visitors may post reviews, comments, photos, and other content; send e-cards and other communications; and submit suggestions, ideas, comments, questions, or other information, so long as the content is not illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory, invasive of privacy, infringing of intellectual property rights, or otherwise injurious to third parties or objectionable and does not consist of or contain software viruses, political campaigning, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings, or any form of "spam." You may not use a false e-mail address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of a card or other content. NELI reserves the right (but not the obligation) to remove or edit such content, but does not regularly review posted content.
If you do post content or submit material, and unless we indicate otherwise, you grant NELI a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sub-licensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display such content throughout the world in any media. You grant NELI and sub-licensees the right to use the name that you submit in connection with such content, if they choose. You represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the content that you post; that the content is accurate; that use of the content you supply does not violate this policy and will not cause injury to any person or entity; and that you will indemnify NELI for all claims resulting from content you supply. NELI has the right but not the obligation to monitor and edit or remove any activity or content. NELI takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any content posted by you or any third party.

Information Security
NELI employees understand the need for user privacy, and we maintain strict security procedures to protect your information. NELI has appointed a Privacy Policy Administrator to monitor privacy practices. Access to user data is strictly limited to specific individuals who are trained to respect user privacy. The access given to these employees is restricted to their need of such information for business reasons. A log of those who accessed the data is maintained and monitored to prevent security breaches.
Third-Party Information Storage
Some information is stored for NELI by authorized third-party companies. These companies are carefully selected by NELI. We limit such third parties in their access to and use of your personal information, and like NELI, they will never barter, trade, or sell access to your information.
Children and Privacy
NELI encourages parents and guardians to spend time with their children online and to be fully familiar with the sites visited by their children. NELI sites will not contain content that is generally considered unsuitable for children.
Links to Other Sites
NELI Web sites may contain links to sites owned and/or operated by other organizations, and the privacy policies of those sites may differ from that of NELI. These sites may collect data and make use of it in ways that NELI does not. We encourage you to review the privacy policies posted on all third-party sites.
Transfer of Information to the United States
In accessing NELI Web sites, you may be transferring personal data that is used by NELI for statistical, administration, or marketing purposes. As a worldwide organization, NELI collects data that may be transferred internationally throughout NELI offices worldwide. In using any NELI site you consent to having your information transferred to and processed in the United States or any other country in which NELI is located. If NELI seeks to collect any additional personal data, you will be informed of the proposed uses of that data and asked for your consent.
Policy Updates
This Privacy Policy is NELI's promise to its Web site users. Additional information that is particular to specific NELI sites may exist, and updates to this policy may be posted. For these reasons we suggest that users who may have specific concerns about the information being gathered and use of that information regularly view the Privacy Policy on each site. NELI reserves the right to change the policy on use of information collected at any time.
