The NAFTZ uses “cookies” which are small pieces of information generated by a web server and stored in your computer, ready for future access. The cookies make use of this user-specific information transmitted by the Web server on to your computer so that the information might be available for later access. Visitors to the site have the option of typing in their username and password each time they visit, or having this information automatically saved for them for their next visit. If you choose to have this information saved by clicking the “Remember Me” button, your web browser will store a cookie in your computer. Whenever you log onto the NAFTZ site, your web browser will automatically transfer your username and password to the server making it unnecessary for you to manual enter this information each visit. The cookies are NOT used to obtain other data from your hard drive or to acquire sensitive information. If you choose not to have your username and password saved, no cookies are used.
NAFTZ collects and uses personal information that you voluntarily provide for one or more of the uses listed below. NAFTZ will only sell, lease, or rent this information to an organization approved by the NAFTZ Board of Directors and it is determined that it serves a collective interest of the membership.
Each individual registered to use this site has created an online user account and has set up a unique username and password. Users who elect to register on the site will use their email address as their username and may choose their own passwords. Passwords are the private property of the registered user. For reasons of security and privacy, we do not give out passwords to anyone. If you forget your password, you can request that your account information be re-sent to the email address you originally provided during the online user-account registration.
