This privacy policy applies to the NastupnyVelykyKrok (referenced as NVK furthermore in text) Web sites and services.
Except as described below, NVK does not collect or require visitors to its Web sites to furnish personally-identifying information such as names, email addresses, and phone numbers. Like most Web site operators, NVK does collect non-personally-identifying information that web browsers and servers typically make available, which are the browser type, language preference, referring site, and date and time of each visitor request. NVK also collects potentially-personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, which are non-personally-identifying in and of themselves but could be used in conjunction with other information to personally identify users.
NVK's purpose in collecting this information is to better understand how NVK's visitors use its Web sites. To that end, NVK may share potentially-personally-identifying information with its employees, contractors, service providers, and subsidiaries and related organizations. NVK may also release non-personally-identifying information about visitors (e.g., by publishing a report on Web site usage trends). Otherwise, NVK will not publicly release potentially-personally-identifying information except under the same circumstances as NVK releases personally-identifying information. Those circumstances are explained below.
When you visit the NVK web sites and use our services, you agree that:
NVK may process your personal data. We may give access to your personal data to NVK or its subsidiaries as necessary to provide our services on our website(s).
NVK process your personally-identifying information to deliver the services NVK provides according to the principles laid down in this Privacy Policy.
Certain members of the NVK community (contributors, customers, etc.) choose to interact with NVK in ways that require NVK and others to know more about them. The amount and type of information that NVK gathers from those members depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, members who wish to post content to certain portions of NVK's Web sites or participate in live chat session(s) or receive updates via SMS (Short Messaging System) are asked to provide usernames that identify that content as having been posted by a particular member. NVK collects personally-identifying information only insofar as is necessary to fulfill the purpose of the community member's interaction with NVK.
NVK is an open organization that believes in sharing as much information as possible about its products, its operations and its associations. Accordingly, community members should assume - as should most folks who interact with NVK - that any personally-identifying information provided to NVK will be made available to the public. There are three broad exceptions to that rule:
- NVK does not make publicly available information that is used to authenticate users the publication of which would compromise the security of NVK's Web sites (e.g., passwords).
- NVK collects personally-identifying information used to organize events that community members attend. The information collected via a web form is not used for other purposes than organizing the logistics of events organized by NVK.
- NVK does not make publicly available information that it specifically promises at the time of collection to maintain in confidence.
Outside those three contexts, users should assume that personally-identifying information provided through NVK's Web sites will be made available to the public.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Where NVK has collected personally-identifying information subject to one of the three exceptions described in the Community Members section, above, it discloses that information only to those of its employees, contractors, service providers, and subsidiaries and related organizations, such as NVK Corporation and NVK, that need to know that information in order to process it on NVK's behalf and that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, service providers, and subsidiaries and related organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using NVK's Web sites, you consent to the transfer of your information to other countries, such as the United States, which may provide a different level of data protection than your home country. NVK does not rent or sell such information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, service providers, and subsidiaries and related organizations, as described above, NVK discloses such information only when required to do so by law, or when NVK believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of NVK, members of the NVK community, or the public at large. NVK takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of such information.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a string of information that a Web site stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the Web site each time the visitor returns. Most major Web sites use cookies. Because the browser provides this cookie information to the Web site at each visit, cookies serve as a sort of label that allows a Web site to "recognize" a browser when it returns to the site. The domain name in NVK cookies will clearly identify their affiliation with NVK and, where applicable, its third-party service provider.
What Are Tracking Pixels?
Tracking pixels (also known as web beacons) are used in combination with cookies to help Web site operators understand how visitors interact with their Web sites. A tracking pixel is typically a transparent graphic image (usually 1 pixel x 1 pixel) that is placed on a site. The use of a tracking pixel allows the site to measure the actions of the visitor opening the page that contains the tracking pixel. It makes it easer to follow and record the activities of a recognized browser, such as the path of pages visited at a Web site.
How We Use Cookies and Tracking Pixels.
NVK's Web sites use cookies to help NVK identify and track visitors, their usage of NVK Web sites, and their Web site access preferences across multiple requests and visits to NVK's Web sites. The Web sites, and advertisements that the NVK may run occasionally on third‑party advertising networks, also may use tracking pixels for these purposes. The basic idea is to gather aggregate data about how people use the NVK Web sites. The term usually used to describe this is "web analytics" and the cookies and tracking pixels are the tools by which a website owner collects this web analytics data.
NVK will use the web analytics data only to determine aggregate usage patterns for our Web sites as described above. The NVK Web sites do this by using either its own internal analytics software or by sending this information to a third-party service provider to help NVK analyze this data and the NVK Web sites using third-party web analytics tools are listed here. NVK has agreements with its third-party service providers that they will not share this information with others or use the information for purposes other than to maintain the services they provide to NVK. It is possible to link cookies and tracking pixels to personally-identifying information, thereby permitting Web site operators, including our third-party analytics providers, to track the online movements of particular individuals. NVK does not do so and its third-party service providers are not allowed to correlate NVK data with any other data.
NVK uses the information provided by cookies and tracking pixels to develop a better understanding of how NVK's visitors use NVK's Web sites, and to facilitate those visitors' interactions with NVK's Web sites. NVK may make the aggregate data obtained from web analytics (including from our third-party analytics providers, if applicable) publicly available. If this data is made available, none of the information will be personally-identifying information or potentially-personally-identifying information.
How to Control the Use of Cookies. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. NVK visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers by NVK, its contractors, or third-party service providers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before linking to NVK's Web sites. Certain features of NVK's Web sites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
NVK may change its Privacy Policy from time to time. Any and all changes will be reflected on this page. Substantive changes will also be announced through the standard mechanisms through which NVK communicates with the NVK community, including NVK's “announcement” on its website(s).
By using the Web sites, you agree to the terms and conditions of this privacy policy. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of this privacy policy, please do not use the Web sites. You can determine when this privacy policy was last revised by referring to the "Last Updated” legend at the top of this page. Any changes to this privacy policy will become effective upon our posting of the revised privacy policy on the Web sites. By using the Web sites following any changes, you accept the revised privacy policy then in effect.
If you have questions about this privacy policy, please contact the NVK team at privacy AT krokua DOT org.
