NCX GROUP’S GENERAL PRIVACY POLICY
NCX Group (“NCX Group,” “Us,” or “We”) recognizes that privacy is important, and we want to be clear with you about our privacy practices. This Privacy Policy describes how NCX Group collects, uses and shares information collected from you through your use of NCX’s website and the services offered through the Sites (the “Services”).
NCX Group is accountable for personal data received and that is subsequently transferred to a third party. NCX Group remains responsible if third party agents process the personal data on NCX’s behalf in a manner inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, unless NCX Group proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage. We encourage you to contact us should you have privacy-related questions or complaints. Our contact information is below in the “How to Contact Us” section. NCX Group is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
HOW NCX GROUP COLLECTS INFORMATION AND THE TYPES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED
Any time you use NCX’s Sites or Services, information is generated. Some of this information is considered “Personal Information,” meaning information that either directly identifies you individually (like your name, address, email, or billing information) or could reasonably be used to identify you in combination with other data. Other information is considered “Anonymous Information,” meaning information that does not directly identify you, and cannot reasonably be linked with other data to identify you individually.
HOW DO WE COLLECT YOUR DATA?
- YOU GIVE IT TO US
When you visit or use our Sites or use our Services, you may provide us with information. For example, when downloading a NCX Group white paper or submitting a support ticket, we will prompt you to provide us with your name, physical address, email address and phone number. - WE RECEIVE IT FROM THIRD PARTIES
NCX Group engages with third-party vendors to try to determine new clients who might be interested in NCX’s services. In such instances, third parties may give NCX Group your name and contact information. - WE AUTOMATICALLY COLLECT IT FROM YOU
While visiting our Sites or using our Services, we may automatically collect information from you through the use of cookies, web server logs, and other mechanisms. For example, when you visit a Site, we automatically collect device identifiers (e.g., device model, operating system, browser version, and other data that may be used to identify a device), IP addresses, device configurations, browser history, information about Site usage, and geographic location data.

Cookies are often used to enable you to more easily communicate and interact with the Sites and Services. “Web beacons” (also known as “single-pixel” or “clear” GIFs) include electronic images embedded in the Site or in communications sent through the Services which are invisible to users. Web beacons collect information, such as identifiers, time and date of access, and descriptions of the pages or communications in which the web beacons are embedded. We may use cookies or web beacons on the Sites or in communications sent through the Services for various purposes, including for example: Saving user preferences; Customizing content of the Site for individual users; Ensuring that users are not repeatedly sent the same banner ads; Recording session information; Fraud prevention; Saving certain information about users of the Sites and others who visit the Sites; Keeping track of whether you’ve had a chance to open an email or view an advertisement; and Otherwise facilitating and enhancing interaction with the Sites. NCX Group may contract with third-party service providers who may also use cookies or web beacons in connection with the Sites or communications regarding the Services. For example, NCX Group uses Google Analytics to get aggregated information on our Site’s performance (you can learn more about how Google uses data when you use our Sites by visiting www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/). Similarly, we may use an outside advertisement serving company to display advertisements on the Site or in communications sent through the Services. The advertisement serving company may place and collect cookies or web beacons when it displays an advertisement on the Site or through the Services. The information these third parties collect may be associated with other information about you, or they may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR DATA?
NCX Group uses your information for a variety of purposes related to provisioning, maintaining and improving the Sites and Services, as well as for developing new services. For example, NCX Group uses your information to administer your account, provide technical support and to communicate with you about your account. NCX Group also uses your information to send you new and exciting information about NCX. Other than as described above, NCX Group does not use your Personal Information, nor does it share your personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of NCX, unless one of the following circumstances apply: NCX Group has your express consent. It is for NCX’s internal use, research and product development; It is for domain registration in accordance with the RAA and ICANN policies. (Please see Domain Registration section below for more information regarding our treatment of Personal Information in connection with our domain name registration services). It is for external processing by our affiliates or other trusted third parties we use to support our business based on our instructions or other appropriate confidentiality and security measures (for example, companies that help NCX Group improve its website’s usability or understand client interests); or It is to detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or other legal related issues. Note that NCX Group may share Anonymous Information with third parties. NCX Group may also share Personal Information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of NCX Group if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to: meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request; enforce applicable agreements or adherence to terms and conditions, including investigation of potential violations; and protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of NCX, our users, third parties or the public as required or permitted by law. If NCX Group is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, we will continue to ensure the confidentiality of any Personal Information and give affected users notice before Personal Information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
NCX Group does not sell or license your Personal Information to a third-party for that third party’s own direct marketing purposes.
