NECF takes your privacy seriously. We know you trust us to help with your flooring needs, and we want you to know that you can trust us with your personal information.
NECF may collect personal information from you from information you voluntarily provide if you register, make a purchase from or participate in the Site. We receive general contact information including, but not limited to, your name, address, telephone number, your email address and, in some cases, your credit card number. We might monitor your use of the Site through your IP address, computer settings or most recently visited URL. We also may receive information about you from other sources, such as updated address information. We may contact you about your account status or changes to any policies relevant to you. In general, NECF only uses the information you provide to us for the purpose for which the information was provided. For example, here are some of the ways we use your personal information:
We may also collect customer information on an aggregate basis and disclose the aggregate data to prospective partners or other outside parties. Aggregate customer statistics are not personally traceable to you. NECF may post collected data on the Site or share, rent, sell or otherwise disclose data to third parties. Any third party to which NECF shares, rents, sells or otherwise discloses personal data will be carefully pre-screened by NECF, determined by NECF to be reputable, and will use the personal data for marketing products and services which NECF determines, in its sole judgment, that visitors might find of interest. NECF will disclose to third parties only information knowingly and voluntarily disclosed by visitors. Through the use of third party cookies, advertisers will be electronically notified when visitors view or click on its advertisements. Other than as explained above, NECF will not disclose your personally identifiable information to outside parties except: (i) to the extent necessary to provide you with a service you purchased from NECF, which is provided by a third party under contract with NECF; (ii) when we believe in good faith that any applicable law, regulation, or legal process requires disclosure; (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect or enforce our rights or the rights of another customer; (iv) under urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users or members of the public; or (v) as otherwise authorized by you in writing. We may also provide information to governmental agencies or other companies assisting us in fraud prevention or investigation, when: (1) permitted or required by law; (2) attempting to protect you, another customer or NECF against actual or threatened fraud; or (3) investigating fraud that has already taken place.
If you have set up an account with us, you can visit the Your Account section of NECF anytime to see personal information we have collected about you and to tell us if you want to receive any promotional mail or email from us. To the extent that NECF uses personal identifiers (such as usernames and passwords) to verify your identity, maintain recordkeeping in our system, and for other purposes, it is your responsibility to safeguard this unique information so as not to allow unauthorized users to view personal information. NECF allows you to change or modify the information you have previously provided to us. Upon request via e-mail or postal mail, NECF will provide you with a summary of any of your personal information retained by NECF. You may modify, correct, change, or update your personal record on NECF’s database. NECF will only send personal records to the e-mail address on file for the visitor name associated with it. Upon request, NECF will also remove your personal information from its database, thereby canceling your registration, if any, and your license and permission to use the Site. Unfortunately, to the extent such information is also stored in other databases, we cannot always ensure that such corrections or deletions will reach the other databases. We will use all reasonable efforts to ensure that your information is removed from or corrected in our records. The Site also provides you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving all marketing communications via your e-mail account from our partners or NECF. To opt-out of these e-mails, change or modify your personal information or cancel your registration, please visit the Your Account section of the Site or send an e-mail to [email protected].
We do not knowingly post or collect identifiable information from children under the age of sixteen (16) without a parent or guardian’s consent. Further, if you are under age 13, a law called the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) requires us to have such permission before we may collect or use your personal information. We will need this permission before we are able to create an account for you. Parents of children under the age of 13 are welcome to call us at 203-227-2819 to review any identifiable information we have collected about your child. If you desire, you may request that we delete this information and/or specify that we collect no more of your child’s information. Please note that we will need to verify the identity of anyone requesting information about a child to ensure that the person is in fact the child’s parent or legal guardian and that a request for us to delete all personal information about a child may affect our continued ability to offer our products and services to such child.
