Registration
In order to use this website, a user must first complete the
registration form. During registration a user is required to give their full
contact information. This information is used to evaluate the application and
contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed
interest. In order for this website to properly fulfill its obligation to our
customers, it is necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with
information from 3rd party sources. For example, to determine if our customers
qualify for our service as an ISO, we use the name, driver's license, and
social security number to request a credit report for use in evaluating the
creditworthiness of the applicant.
Order
We request
information from consumers making purchases from our registered merchants within
our shopping cart and order processing interfaces. Here a user must provide
contact information (like name and shipping address), financial information
(like credit card number, expiration date), and identity information (like
social security number or Federal Tax ID). This information is used to fill
customer's orders, for billing purposes, and to verify the identity of the
consumer to protect against fraud. If we have trouble processing an order, this
contact information is used to get in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a
piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the
user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable
information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie
simply terminates

contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these
services. These parties are not allowed to use use
nonpublic personally identifiable information except for the purpose of
providing these services. We do not otherwise disclose nonpublic information to
anyone, except as permitted by law.
Links

that we,North Raleigh Christian Academyare not responsible for
the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware
when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every

Security
This website takes precautions to protect our users'
information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, your
information is protected both online and off-line. When our registration/order
form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number,
social security number, and/or Federal Tax ID), that information is encrypted
and is protected with SSL encryption software. While on a secure page, such as
our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape
Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to
un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'. While we use SSL encryption to
protect sensitive information online, we also protect user-information
off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information
mentioned above, is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the
information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a
customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable
information. Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they
leave their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to
re-gain access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept
up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any
time new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about
the importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our
customers' information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store
personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment, behind
a locked door or cage.
If you have any questions about the security at our website,
you can send an email to purchasing@nrcaknights.com
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service
announcement updates. We may close your account and/or refuse additional
services if Members un-subscribe from service
announcements, which contain important information about the service. We
communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regards to
issues relating to their account via email, fax, or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information:
If a user’s nonpublic personally identifiable information
changes (such as your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we
will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's
personal data provided to us. This can usually be done by calling our
headquarters at 9195737900 or by emailing our Customer
Support Department at purchasing@nrcaknights.com for more instructions.
Opt-out requirements:
As provided in this policy, we only provide your nonpublic
personal information to a nonaffiliated third party in conjunction with the
services that you have requested that we provide to you. All nonaffiliated
third parties to whom we disclose your nonpublic personal information are
contractually prohibited by us to disclose or use the information other than to
carry out the transactions that you have requested. Accordingly, there is
nothing for a user to opt out of with respect to how we currently use their
non-public personal information.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we
collect, how we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at
any point we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner
different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users
by way of an email or US mailing so as to enable users to "opt-out"
if we use their information in this different manner. We will use information
in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was
collected.
