How does NIETC use the information it collects?

Any personally identifiable information you share with the NIETC when registering for Classes or Services at any of our web sites is maintained and accessible only by the NIETC unless specifically stated otherwise. The NIETC may request information from its users so that users can enjoy customized experiences across the NIETC network, including personalization services, interactive communications, online scheduling and much more. Many of our Services are available to you at no cost, and the NIETC displays no advertisements so we can continue to better provide great content and services still free of charge. We can also better prepare future content based on your interests.

The following are examples of how the NIETC may use the information it collects:

• The NIETC uses the information collected (both anonymous and personal) to personalize and enhance the content you see on the NIETC website, such as news, class listings, weather reports, class history and more. In some cases, our Classes and Services cannot work unless you have volunteered accurate information (for example, we need your valid Social Security Number to register you in our secure training database).
  
  
• The NIETC never collects anonymous data or shares data outside of the JATC. We may disclose to members of the JATC certain demographic characteristics and the number of people who have seen and "clicked" on a particular display or signed up for a particular class. We may also disclose to those members the overall demographics available regarding who saw and "clicked" on links assiciated with our website. In addition, we may disclose results from online registrations to the JATC members. No personally identifiable information will be disclosed as part of this process.
  
  
• The NIETC also uses aggregate data to perform statistical analyses of the collective characteristics and behavior of our registered users and visitors, to measure user demographics and interests regarding specific areas of the NIETC website, and to analyze how and where best to use our resources. Without such data, we would not know which parts of the NIETC website are the most popular, and we would not be able to change and update the content and services appropriately. Please note that we will not share this information with any third-party companies.
  
  
• The NIETC may, from time to time, use your information to contact you about changes or enhancements to Classes and Services on the NIETC website, issues regarding your training, or the NIETC website Terms and Conditions.
  
  
• If you told the NIETC that you were interested in receiving notifications from the NIETC we may send you email and postal mail about Classes and Services that we feel may be of interest to you.
