To the extent applicable, NAID attempts to comply with local data protection rights laws. If you are unsure whether this privacy statement is in conflict with applicable local rules, you should not submit your information. If you are located within the European Union, you should note that your information will be transferred to the United States, which is deemed by the European Union to have inadequate data protection. We have made an effort to add greater protection. Nevertheless, in accordance with local laws implementing European Union Directive 95/46/EC of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (“EU Privacy Directive”), customers located in countries outside of the United States of America who submit personal information do thereby consent to the general use of such information as provided in this privacy statement and to its transfer to and/or storage in the United States of America.

By using the NAID websites, you do not reveal any personal information. However, any text you include in a message is public. Because NAID cannot and does not control the acts of others, you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose information about yourself or others in public forums such as these.
There may be links to third-party websites that are provided on NAID’s websites as a benefit, however, a third party controls them. NAID uses certain application service providers (ASPs) to provide specific services to enhance your online experience. ASPs do not sell or distribute your personal information. They are bound by the NAID privacy policy. ASPs provide these services through their website, although the look and feel of the site matches NAID’s various websites.
