Website Terms & Privacy

NDC is strongly committed to protecting your privacy while interacting with our content, products and services. We want to provide a safe and secure environment for you.

The NDC is concerned about protecting the safety and privacy of people using our services. NDC website specifically designed for those who need our information and service.

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to tell you what kind of information we may gather about you when you visit our site, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct this information. Our policy allows you to choose what kind and how much information you provide to us and to control how we use whatever information you give us. Our goal is to provide you with a satisfying experience while allowing you to control your privacy and to give you a means to voice any questions or concerns you may have.

This policy applies only to NDC and not to other companies' or organisations' websites to which NDC website is linked.

Information is managed by NDC to make it easier and more rewarding for you to access our information and to use our services. Depending on the service you are accessing, you could be asked to provide information such as your name, email address or information about what you like and do not like. It is entirely your choice whether to respond to these questions or not.

NDC collects two types of information. The first type is anonymous information. For instance, we may collect information to tell us that five thousand people visit this Privacy Policy today, but we do not know their names, where they live or their date of birth - they are 'anonymous' to us. Another example of NDC collecting anonymous information is when NDC audiences are invited to respond to surveys on the NDC website. The surveys may ask you for demographic information such as your age, gender and postcode. This information is collected for research purposes, is used in the aggregate (where possible), and remains anonymous. Many of the individuals who access our services are anonymous to us.

The second type of information that NDC collects is personal information. NDC will collect personal information that lets us know the specifics of who you are such as your name, email address, or phone number, when you provide it to us. With this information, NDC can provide a variety of personalised and enhanced services that are not available to anonymous users. We hope that you will find it beneficial to provide individually identifiable information about yourself to us because it will make our services more valuable to you.

Sometimes, we may specifically ask for personal information about you when you sign up to use a service. Certain information may be required, such as your name, age, internet address or screen name, billing address, type of computer, credit card number, in order to provide that service or product to you. This information may also be used to inform you of additional products and services which may interest you. You can choose not to receive such information when you are undertaking product or service registration on our website. We may also ask about your interests, but it is your choice whether to respond.

How much of your personal information that you choose to disclose to NDC is completely up to you.

NDC automatically gathers anonymous information to monitor the use of NDC like the numbers and frequency of visitors to NDC and its areas, very much like television ratings that tell the networks how many people tuned in to a program. We only use such data in the aggregate. This collective data helps us determine how much our audiences use parts of the site, so we can improve NDC to assure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many users as possible. NDC may publish or provide this aggregate data to other people or organisations.

NDC will only use the personal information you have chosen to provide us for the purpose for which you provided it. NDC will not use it for any other purpose without your consent.

There will be occasions where it will be necessary for the NDC to disclose your personal information to third parties. The NDC may be required by law to disclose the information, or the NDC may be required to disclose your personal information to third parties to provide the service you have requested. However, the disclosure will only be made where it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which you disclosed your personal information. Otherwise than stated above, we do not disclose personal information that you may give us, such as your name, address, email address or telephone number, to any organisation or person outside the NDC unless you have authorised us to do so.

Under no circumstances will NDC sell or receive payment for licensing or disclosing your personal information.
