You may use this informational website without providing your name, email address, or other personal information. By visiting the NITLE site, however, you necessarily provide us with an IP address, which does not identify you personally but does enable NITLE to identify and communicate with your computer while you are visiting the site. We also may collect certain non-personal information, such as the type of browser you are using (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type of operating system you are using, (e.g., Windows 2000 or Mac OS), and the domain name of your Internet service provider.
If you send an email message to any NITLE email address, you are also providing us with the email address from which the message was sent, which we will need to reply to your message. Users may also be required to provide a username and password or other personal information in order to access specific resources on the NITLE site, and we will collect usage data regarding all areas of the site. We will not use or share any data collected in connection with the use of the NITLE site except as described below under "Use of the Information" and "Sharing Information."
Use of the Information
We will use information collected from or provided by users to facilitate use of the NITLE informational website, to respond to user inquiries about NITLE, to improve the design of our site, to track and analyze site usage, and for system administration and troubleshooting purposes.

We have physical, electronic, and managerial measures in place to prevent unauthorized access to user information.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these other sites before providing them with any personal information.

NITLE may share general usage data—in aggregated form so that no personal information is identifiable—with various of its constituents, partner organizations, supporting foundations, consultants, or other similar individuals or organizations.
NITLE may disclose personal information if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to comply with the law or to protect against violations of the rights of NITLE, contributors to the NITLE site, or any other parties
