Privacy on NAPMA.com - An Overview
The National Association of Professional Martial Artists (NAPMA) is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of consumers of its interactive products and services. Throughout cyberspace, we want to contribute to providing a safe and secure environment for consumers.

The purpose of this NAPMA privacy policy is to inform you, as a welcome visitor to NAPMA.com, what kinds of information we may gather about you when you visit NAPMA.com, 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, the information. This privacy policy applies to the NAPMA.com site and all pages contained within. The AOL Internet online service has a separate privacy policy for its members. Finally, please note that this policy applies only to NAPMA.com, and not to other companies' or organizations' Web sites to which we link.

Information About All NAPMA.com Visitors
In general, our site automatically gathers certain usage information like the numbers and frequency of visitors to NAPMA.com 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 aggregate data helps us determine how much our customers use parts of the site, so we can improve our site to assure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many of you as possible. For example, NAPMA.com uses a technology nicknamed "cookies" that tells us how and when pages in our site are visited, and by how many people.

These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information and we do not combine information collected through these cookies with other personally identifiable information to tell us who you are or even what your screen name or e-mail address is. We also may provide statistical "ratings" information, never information about you personally, to our NAPMA.com partners about how our members, collectively, use NAPMA.com. We do this so they too can understand how much people use their areas and our site in order for them to provide you with the best possible Web experience as well. Finally, NAPMA.com, its advertisers and ad servers may also use cookies, as well as small pieces of code called "web beacons" or "clear gifs," to determine on an anonymous basis which advertisements and promotions users have seen and how users responded to them, but do not use these technologies to collect personally identifiable information unless you give us permission to do so.

Disclosure
We do not use or disclose information about your individual visits to NAPMA.com or information that you may give us on NAPMA.com, such as your name, address, email address or telephone number, to any outside companies. NAPMA.com may share such information in response to legal process, such as a court order or subpoena, or in special cases such as a physical threat to you or others. And, as we mention above, we may share with our Web site partners aggregated statistical "ratings"; information about the use of NAPMA.com.
