Security
11. Whenever North American handles information that you enter on our site, regardless of where this occurs, we take steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of Use and this Privacy Policy. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be one hundred percent (100%) secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, North American cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. You transmit such information at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make reasonable efforts to maintain its security on our systems.
12. North American does not control the privacy policies of our business partners, suppliers or other sites to which we provide hyperlinks.
Cookies
13. North American uses "cookies" to identify return visitors. A "cookie" is a small file that we save on your computer’s hard drive. It contains no personal information, like your name or email address, but "remembers" that your computer has visited this site before. So if you leave the site and then return, cookies will be able to detect what questions you have already answered so that you do not have to start all over again. This technology may allow you to connect directly to password protected areas of our Website (bypassing login), save your password so you don’t have to re-enter it each time you visit our site, and in the future, may be used to personalize your experience in visiting the Website. To accept cookies, go into your browser preferences and check that cookies are being accepted. You can also turn off the "cookie" function through most standard browsers though that may affect your use of this Website.
Do Not Track Statement
14. “Do Not Track” or DNT refers to technology that Internet users can employ to block the tracking of their browsing activity by analytics companies, advertising networks, and other such entities. North American does not track Website visitors or Registered Users across third party websites to provide targeted advertising. North American also does not allow third parties to track your behavior when you are on this Website. As a result, North American does not respond to DNT signals.
Processing in the U.S.
