Security
Statement
Security
Standards
We have established and continually maintain security standards and procedures
to help us protect you from unauthorized access to confidential information
we may have about you, including through the Internet.
Protecting
Website Information
When you visit our website (www.npgd.org) you may ask yourself, “Is
it really safe to transact on the Internet?” At Nonprofit Purchasing
Group of Delaware (NPGD), the answer to that question is YES.
While no system is impenetrable, our systems are designed for maximum
protection of your information.
For your protection,
we use 128-bit encryption for our on-line services. Data is transferred
via a “secure session” established with Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) 128-bit encryption technology. This technology protects information
as it crosses the Internet by encrypting – or scrambling –
your account information so it is virtually impossible for anyone other
than you and NPGD to read it. If your browser does support the 128-bit
encryption, it will activate SSL automatically whenever you sign on to
our on-line services.
Password Protection
Your unique User ID (“UID”) and password also protect access
to accounts you may have with us and to transactional information through
our on-line services. You can also help maintain the security of your
financial information by not sharing your UID or password with anyone,
by changing your password regularly, and by remembering to sign off of
our website when you have finished your session.
About “Cookies”
A “cookie” is a small text file placed on your computer hard
drive by our web server. Cookies are commonly used on websites and do
not harm your system or read or collect information from your computer’s
hard drive. To better serve you and to provide a more effective website,
we use “cookies” as part of our interaction with your web
browser.
E-Mail
We may preserve the content of your e-mail, your e-mail address, and our
response so that we can more efficiently handle any questions you may
have and also to meet legal and regulatory requirements. We may occasionally
contact you at your e-mail address to inform you of products or services
we offer.
Surveys
Information you voluntarily provide on surveys and promotions on our website
will be used for internal marketing purposes, such as developing website
information and services that you may find helpful. In addition, we may
inform you of new or upgraded products and services based on the information
you provide to us.
