Business Transitions
In the event NOMOREMOUTAINSTOCROSS goes through a
business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or
selling a portion of its assets, users’ personal information will, in most
instances, be part of the assets transferred. Users will be notified via
email and a prominent notice on our Web site for 30 days prior to a change of
ownership or control of their personal information. If as a result of the
business transition, the users’ personally identifiable information will be
used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection they will
be given choice consistent with our notification of changes section.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of
having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at
the point where we ask for information.
Users of our site are always notified when their
information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our
users can make an informed choice as to whether or not they should proceed with
services that require an outside party.
Links
This Web site may contain links to other sites. Please
be aware that we, NOMOREMOUTAINSTOCROSS, are not responsible for the privacy
practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when
they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web
site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy
statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for
informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend’s name and email
address. NOMOREMOUTAINSTOCROSS will automatically send the friend a
one-time email inviting them to visit the site. NOMOREMOUTAINSTOCROSS
stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email and
tracking the success of our referral program. The friend may contact
NOMOREMOUTAINSTOCROSS at
LORIP@NOMOREMOUNTAINSTOCROSS.COM
to request the removal of this information from our database.
Security
This Web site takes every precaution to protect our
users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the Web
site, their information is protected both online and off-line.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive
information online, we also do everything in our power to protect
user-information off-line. All of our users’ information, not just the
sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only
employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our
billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to
personally identifiable information. Our employees must use
password-protected screen-savers when they leave their desk. When they
return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain access to user
information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our
security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that store
personally identifiable information are in a secure environment, a locked
facility.
If users have any questions about the security at our
Web site, users can send an email to LORIP@NOMOREMOUNTAINSTOCROSS.COM
Supplementation of Information
In order for this Web site to properly fulfill its
obligation to users it is necessary for us to supplement the information we
receive with information from 3rd party sources.
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating Personal
Information
If a user’s personally identifiable information
changes (such as zip code, phone, email or postal address), or if a user no
longer desires our service, we provide a way to correct, update or
delete/deactivate users’ personally identifiable information. This can usually
be done at the ACCOUNT page or by emailing our Customer Support at
WEBMASTER@NOMOREMOUTAINSTOCROSS.COM.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will
post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we
deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect,
how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We
will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the
information was collected.
If, however, we are going to use users’ personally
identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of
collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to
whether or not we use their information in this different manner.
However, if users have opted out of all communication with the site, or
deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will
their personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we
make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user
information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on
our Web site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a
notice we will also email users, who have opted to receive communications from
us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
