Identifying Information. In general, you can visit the Site without telling us who you are or providing any information about yourself. In some areas of the Site, we ask you to provide information that will enable us to offer services that require registration, assist you with technical support issues or to follow up with you. Generally, THE BOROUGH requests identifying information when you:

1.       Register on any of our web sites.

2.       Post on our forum.

3.       Provide feedback to an online survey or tell us about an idea or suggestion.

4.       Request information or files from technical support or customer service.

In these instances, THE BOROUGH will ask for your name, address, e-mail address, phone number and other appropriate information needed to provide you with these services. In all instances, if you receive a newsletter or other mailing from us, you will always be able to "unsubscribe" to these mailings at any time.

What THE BOROUGH Will Do With Your Information. If you choose to give us personal information for any of the purposes above, this information is retained by THE BOROUGH and will only be used by THE BOROUGH to support your customer relationship with us. We will not add you to a mailing list, or newsletter without your registration for this service. We will only contact you if further information is required from you to complete a service.

What Others May Do With Your Information. THE BOROUGH does not share, rent, or sell any personally identifying information provided through our Site (such as your name or email address) to any outside organization for use in its marketing or solicitations. From time to time THE BOROUGH may use agents or contractors who will have access to your personal information to perform services for THE BOROUGH (such as DATABASE MAINTENANCE, FURTHER EXAMPLES), however, they are required by us to keep the information confidential and may not use it for any purpose other than to carry out the services for THE BOROUGH. In addition, THE BOROUGH may also share aggregate information about its customers and its web site visitors to advertisers, business partners, and other third parties. For example, we might share that our users are x percent PCs users and y percent Macintosh users. None of this information, however, will contain personal, identifying information about our users.

THE BOROUGH On-line Store. The THE BOROUGH On-line Store is designed to give you options concerning the privacy of your identifying information. If you choose, you can set up an account. This will allow you to have a customized order page for express ordering and to view your purchasing history. To protect your privacy, we have designed the Sites to include certain steps to verify your identity before granting you access or enabling you to make corrections in an account. You will always have access to this account information and can view it, update it or correct it at any time. To access your information, you will need to use a password.

When purchasing products through the our web site, the order form will also ask you to provide a daytime telephone number. However, the telephone number is only used to quickly resolve questions relative to an order, such as to clarify customer email addresses that are inactive, or entered incorrectly.

Third Party Links. NORTHUMBERLANDBOROUGH.com does provide links to other sites. Other Internet sites and services have separate privacy and data collection practices. Once you leave WWW.NORTHUMBERLANDBOROUGH.COM, THE BOROUGH cannot control, and has no responsibility for, the privacy policies or data collection activities at another site.
