HEART/NSTA TRUST PRIVACY STATEMENT
USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
HEART/NSTA TRUST collects and uses your personal information to operate
the HEART/NSTA Trust website and deliver the user-requested services. HEART/NSTA
Trust also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you
of other products or services available from HEART/NSTA Trust and its affiliates.
HEART/NSTA Trust may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about
your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may
be offered.
HEART/NSTA Trust does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third
parties. HEART/NSTA Trust may, from time to time, contact you on behalf
of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of
interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information
(e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third
party. In addition, HEART/NSTA Trust may share data with trusted partners
to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail,
provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties
are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these
services to HEART/NSTA Trust and they are required to maintain the confidentiality
of your information.
HEART/NSTA Trust does not use or disclose sensitive personal information,
such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit
consent. HEART/NSTA Trust keeps track of the websites and pages our customers
visit within HEART/NSTA Trust, in order to determine what services are
the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising
within HEART Trust/NTA to customers whose behavior indicates that they
are interested in a particular subject area.
HEART/NSTA Trust websites will disclose your personal information, without
notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that
such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply
with legal process served on HEART/NSTA Trust or the site; (b) protect
and defend the rights or property of HEART/NSTA Trust; and, (c) act under
exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of HEART/NSTA
Trust, or the public.
USE OF COOKIES
The HEART/NSTA Trust Web site use “cookies” to help you personalize your
online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard
disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver
viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can
only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature
to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that
you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize HEART/NSTA
Trust pages, or register with HEART/NSTA Trust site or services, a cookie
helps HEART/NSTA Trust to recall your specific information on subsequent
visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information,
such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return
to the same HEART/NSTA Trust Web site, the information you previously provided
can be retrieved, so you can easily use the HEART/NSTA Trust features that
you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline
cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be
able to fully experience the interactive features of the HEART/NSTA Trust
services or Web sites you visit.
SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
HEART/NSTA Trust secures your personal information from unauthorized access,
use or disclosure. HEART/NSTA Trust secures the personally identifiable
information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment,
protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information
(such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is
protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) protocol. HEART/NSTA Trust will occasionally update this Statement
of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. HEART/NSTA Trust encourages
you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how HEART/NSTA
Trust is protecting your information.
