Privacy Policy
The following states the Naperville Area Chamber of
Commerce's ("NACC's") policy regarding the privacy rights of
our Members as well as other visitors and users of the NACC
websites (herein referred to as "Privacy Policy"). We
respect your concern over your right to privacy and for a
secure online experience.

Information Collected at www.naperville.net?
The information we collect from NACC Members, visitors and
users of our websites allows us to personalize and
continually improve your online experience, making it easier
and more enjoyable. The following identifies the types of
information we gather:
- Automatic Information
We receive and store certain types of information
whenever you interact with us. For example, like many
Web sites, we employ "session variables" when you use
our bulletin boards. A Session Variable acts to
temporarily store a unique identifier [on your hard
drive] when a user logs onto a NACC bulletin
board or forum and ends when the user leaves the
bulletin board and the time set expires. Also, if you
choose to have an NACC password remembered when you
visit an NACC website, then Cookies are utilized for
this password related functionality. Cookies are pieces
of data your web browser stores on your hard drive to
enable our systems to recognize you and your browser.
Most web browsers automatically accept these cookies,
and will also allow you to instruct your browser to
prevent the use of cookies. However, if you disable this
feature, the described password related functionality
and certain other aspects of our website may not
function properly.
- Information You Give Us
We receive and may store any information you enter on
our websites or give us in any other way. At times, we
specifically ask for information about you when you
register for or to use certain services, when you order
a product, or when you join the NACC. We may require
certain information -- such as name, Internet address or
screen name, billing address, credit card number, etc --
in order to provide that service or product to you.
- Information from Other Sources
For reasons such as improving the personalization of our
service, we might receive/collect information about you
from other sources and use it to supplement account
information.
Does NACC Share the Information It Receives/Collects?
- NACC may share your personal information with its
affiliates and/or subsidiaries, if any. NACC may also
share the information we collect with NACC's advertisers
and business partners. NACC is not responsible for the
privacy policies or practices of our advertisers or
business partners and encourages you to read the posted
privacy statement and user terms and conditions whenever
interacting with, and prior to providing any personal
information to, any other website.
- NACC may use reputable third parties to manage
activities available on our websites such as web
hosting, database management and order processing, and
authentication. These parties may have access to
personally identifiable information submitted by Members
who participate in those activities. NACC instructs
these third parties to use personally identifiable
information only for the specific purpose for which it
is collected, and not to sell, market or transfer such
information to other entities except as needed to
provide the designated services.
- NACC posts and displays certain personally
identifiable information about its Members on our
websites and in the NACC Membership directory.
- NACC may use personally identifiable information in
aggregate form to make our websites better and more
responsive to the needs of our users and Members. This
statistical compilation and analysis of information may
also be used by NACC or be provided to others, in
aggregate, for marketing, advertising or research
purposes.
- As NACC continues to develop its business, we might
be involved in an acquisition, sale or other corporate
transaction. In such transactions, member information
generally is one of the transferred business assets. In
the event that NACC, or substantially all of its assets,
are acquired or otherwise transferred to another entity,
member information will be one of the transferred
assets.
- We release account and other personal information
when we believe its release is appropriate to comply
with any law; enforce or apply our Terms of Use
and other applicable agreements; or protect the rights,
property, or safety of NACC, our Members, or others.
This includes exchanging information with other
companies and organizations for fraud protection and
credit risk reduction.
- If at any time after submitting your personal
information to our website you decide that you do not
want to receive additional promotional or marketing
information from us, simply follow the "Opt-Out"
procedures detailed below.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
NACC maintains appropriate safeguards to ensure the
security, integrity and privacy of personally identifiable
information submitted to our websites, and periodically
reviews and updates its security measures in light of
current technologies. Unfortunately, no data transmission
over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
Although NACC strives to protect your personal information,
we cannot ensure or warranty the security of any information
you may transmit to us or from our online products and
services. Once we do receive your transmission, however, we
make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
We use VeriSign as our SSL (Secure Socket Layer) digital
certificate provider, providing our Members the strongest
certificate services available. When credit card information
is transmitted, industry standard encryption is used.
About Children
NACC is concerned about the safety of children when they use
the Internet. Pursuant to the Children's Online Protection
Act of 1998, NACC will never knowingly request personally
identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13
without prior verifiable parental consent.
Links to Third Party and/or Co-Branded Websites
NACC has and will continue to establish relationships with
other business entities, which also may have websites to
inform or promote their products. NACC will at times allow
users visiting the NACC websites to link directly to these
third party websites. However, the NACC is not responsible
for the privacy practices and content of these third party
websites. We encourage you to read the posted privacy
statement and user terms and conditions whenever interacting
with, and prior to providing any personal information to,
