Privacy Statement:
We at North Wind are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your visits to this website. Outlined below is our online privacy statement. If you have questions about this statement, please let us know.

Collection and disclosure of information: To ensure we are able to communicate effectively with visitors to our website, we collect some information that can be directly associated with a specific person, if the information is provided voluntarily to us by those individuals. We call this "Personal Information", and it includes, by way of illustration, names, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses.

It is our general practice not to make Personal Information available to anyone other than our employees, staff, and agents.

Opting out and modifying information: Subscribers to our email list may terminate their subscriptions via a link at the bottom of each email sent from northwindgrp.com.

Data collection: All data collected is for internal use only and will not be shared or sold to 3rd parties.

Browser information collected on the website:
We log IP addresses, which are the locations of computers or networks on the Internet, and analyze them in order to improve the value of our site. We also collect aggregate numbers of page hits in order to track the popularity of certain pages and improve the value of our site. We do not gather, request, record, require, collect, or track any Internet users' Personal Information through these processes.

Cookies:
A cookie is a tiny piece of data stored by a user's browser that helps a website or service recognize that user's unique computer. You can remove or block cookies by changing the settings of your browser. Session-specific cookies may be used on northwindgrp.com to improve the user experience and for basic web metrics. These cookies expire in a very short time frame or when a browser window closes and are permitted by current federal guidelines.

Privacy of our email lists:
As noted above, we maintain email lists to keep interested, eligible individuals informed about important topics, and individuals must affirmatively request to join them. We configure our list server software to refuse to divulge the email addresses of our list subscribers to anyone other than those whom we authorize. However, we are not the author of this software and are not responsible for any failures in the software to preserve subscriber anonymity.

Children's privacy:
Because we care about the safety and privacy of children online, we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). COPPA and its accompanying FTC regulation establish United States federal law that protects the privacy of children using the Internet. We do not knowingly contact or collect Personal Information from children under 13. Our site is not intended to solicit information of any kind from children under 13.

It is possible that by fraud or deception we may receive information pertaining to children under 13. If we are notified of this, as soon as we verify the information, we will immediately obtain parental consent or otherwise delete the information from our servers. If you want to notify us of our receipt of information by children under 13, please contact us.

Security:
We maintain a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information. For example, we use commercially reasonable tools and techniques to protect against unauthorized access to our systems. Also, we restrict access to Personal Information, whether automatically collected as described above or provided voluntarily using the vendor or contact forms on this website, to those who need such access in the course of their duties for us. Your own efforts to protect against unauthorized access play an important role in protecting the security of your personal information. You should be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer, and always log out of any site when viewing personal information. We may have links to other, outside websites that we do not control. We are not responsible for the content or privacy policies of these sites, and users should check those policies on such sites.

Changes to this statement:
We will revise or update this statement if our practices change, or as we develop better ways to keep you informed about them. You should refer back to this page often for the latest information and the effective date of any changes. If we decide to change this statement, we will post a new statement on our site and change the date at the bottom. Changes to the statement shall not apply retroactively.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.
