National Data Trust has created this privacy statement ("Statement") in order to demonstrate our commitment to customer privacy. Because we gather important information from our customers and visitors, we have established this Statement as a means to communicate our information gathering and dissemination practices.

Information Collection and Usage
National Data Trust requires customers who request information, and subsequently register to use our products and services to provide contact information such as their name, company name, address, phone number and email address and later financial qualification and billing information such as billing name and address, credit card number, and the number of users within the customer's organization. National Data Trust typically asks for additional information when a customer or visitor requests information about our products and services. This information often includes title, department, fax number and additional company information such as annual revenues, number of employees, and industry. Customers and visitors can choose to "opt out" of providing this additional information.

National Data Trust uses the collected information to set up accounts for customers and their respective companies. We may also use the information to contact customers to further discuss their interest in National Data Trust, our products and services and to send information on National Data Trust, our partners, and notices of promotions and upcoming events, if the customer or visitor has so opted to receive these communications. National Data Trust customers will automatically be subscribed to our email newsletter as part of the set up process. All customers have the opportunity to choose to opt out from receiving our newsletter. Customer information will not be shared or distributed.

National Data Trust customers may be asked to provide an email address when registering for usage of National Data Trust products and services. This is used to send notification of product updates and service and support information. Customers can choose to opt out of receiving these notifications. Again, customer information will not be shared or distributed.

Except as explicitly stated at the time National Data Trust requests information, or as explicitly defined in our Terms of Service, we do not disclose to any third party the information provided. All financial and billing information we collect is used solely to check qualifications of prospective customers and to invoice our customers for their usage of National Data Trust products and services. This billing information is not used by National Data Trust for marketing and/or promotional purposes.

National Data Trust maintains log files tracking IP addresses to analyze trends, help diagnose problems with our servers and to monitor traffic/usage in order to provide better service to our customers and visitors. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
