Privacy Policy

When you provide us with online information through this Website, we respect your privacy. It is important for you to understand what information we collect about you during your visit and what we do with that information. Please note that your visit to our Website is subject to this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions and that different policies may apply to information that we collect offline.
At all times, we reserve the right to disclose any information, including personally identifiable information, to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request; to protect NBMBAA rights or property (including without limitation in the event of a transfer of control of a NBMBAA company, affiliate, or brand, or substantially all of its assets), or during emergencies when safety is at risk, or for credit fraud protection and risk reduction purposes.

1. Information Collection and Use

We only collect personally identifiable information about you via this Website when you provide it in connection with a request for a product, service, or information. For example, if you decide to place an order, we will ask you for your delivery and billing address, phone number(s), email address, credit card number and its expiration date. If you decide to complete a user registration form or survey, we may ask you for information such as your contact information (e.g., name, e-mail address and mailing address), age group or birth date. When you submit your personally identifiable information on this Website, you are giving your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. NBMBAA may use the information that you provide to fulfill your request for a product, information, or other service, or respond to an email or other request, as well as to create and deliver to you our newsletters or surveys, communications containing product information, usage tips or promotions, help improve our website(s) or services, or customize visitors’ experience at our website(s). We do not share your credit card or other account information with unaffiliated third parties unless you authorize us to do so, or if it is necessary to fulfill our responsibilities including, but not limited to, delivering a product or service that you order. If you prefer not to receive email marketing communications from us or from third parties, please see Section 6 below.

You cannot opt-out of receiving communications from NBMBAA (or third parties who may assist us) relating to a specific order or request for a product or service. (This policy does not apply to communications relating to marketing, which is specified in Section 6 below.) We may also collect, store or accumulate certain non-personally identifiable information concerning your use of this Website, such as information regarding which of our pages are most popular. Information gathered may be used in aggregate form for internal business purposes, such as generating statistics and developing marketing plans. We may share or transfer such aggregate, non-personally identifiable information with or to our affiliates, licensees and partners.

With the exception of youth participants in the Leaders of Tomorrow Program, this Website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. However, if the parent or guardian of a child under 13 believes that the child has provided us with personally identifiable information, the parent or guardian of that child should contact us at marketing@nbmbaa.org if they want this information deleted from our files so that it is not in retrievable form. If we otherwise obtain knowledge that we have personally identifiable information about a child under 13 in retrievable form in our files, we will delete that information from our existing files so that it is not retrievable.

2. Ensuring Your Security

We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an advanced security protocol that protects your credit card information and ensures secure online ordering. SSL Internet connections are encrypted, and thus protect all credit card ordering information, including your name, address and credit card number, so no one can read it in transit. We use secure technology, privacy protection controls, and restrictions on employee access, to safeguard your personal information.

3. Safe Shopping Guarantee

We guarantee that every online transaction you make will be “100% safe”. This means you pay nothing if unauthorized charges are made to your card, as a result of shopping at our online store. It is determined that

under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50.00 of fraudulent charges. If your bank does hold you liable for any of this $50.00, we will cover the entire liability for you, up to the full $50.00. We will only cover this liability if the unauthorized use of your credit card resulted through no fault of your own from purchases made while using the secure server. In the event of unauthorized use of your credit card, you must notify your credit card provider in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures.

4. Technology Utilized

We use cookies to monitor the performance of the site and to measure its effectiveness. “Cookies” are small pieces of information stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. We do not use cookies to obtain any personally identifying information. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent this.

If you disable cookies, you may be unable to order or use other features of our sites. If you experience any problems, please email us at marketing@nbmbaa.org to place your order.

5. Third Parties

We may rely on other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include data analysis firms, customer support specialists, webhosting companies, and fulfillment companies (e.g., companies that fill product orders or coordinate mailings). We may share personally identifiable information with such third parties as appropriate for them to perform their functions, but they may not use such information for any other purpose. If you do not want to receive email marketing communications, see section 6 below for opt-out information.

6. Email Marketing

We want to communicate with you via email correspondence only if you want to hear from us. When you purchase an NBMBAA product, we may from time to time send you email messages describing new products, special offers, and great values. If for any reason you would no longer like to receive email messages from the NBMBAA brand you purchased, you can click here to opt out of receiving marketing email messages.

Your privacy is important to us, and for this reason we will not share or sell your email address with any third parties.
Please note, if you decide not to receive marketing emails from a NBMBAA, you may still receive “Transactional” email messages regarding your order (i.e., order confirmation, shipping information, customer service notifications, etc.) If you have questions or concerns regarding this statement, please contact us at marketing@nbmbaa.org.
