For example to process a memorial request, NW Memorials may need to know a customer's name, mailing address, e-mail address and credit card details. It is NW Memorials' intent to inform you before NW Memorials collects personal information, such as user's name and/or address on the Internet.  If you tell us that you do not wish to have this information used as a basis for further contact with you, NW Memorials will respect your wishes.

Disclosure of the Information

Mergers and Acquisitions. Circumstances may arise where for business reasons, NW Memorials decides to sell, buy, merge or otherwise reorganize its businesses in the United States or some other country. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal identifying information to prospective or actual purchasers, and/or receiving such information from sellers. It is NW Memorials's practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.

Marketing Analysis by Third Parties. NW Memorials reserves the right to disclose to third parties personal information about customers for marketing analysis; however, any information disclosed will be in the form of aggregate data that does not describe or identify an individual customer.

Release to Third Parties.  NW Memorials releases personal identifying information when NW Memorials reasonably believes release is appropriate to comply with law, to enforce NW Memorials agreements, or to protect the rights, property or safety of NW Memorials customers. NW Memorials may also release such information in an exchange of information with other companies and/or organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Tracking of Visitor's Information.  NW Memorials' Web site(s) are not set up to track, collect or distribute personal information not entered by visitors. Our site logs do generate certain kinds of non-identifying site usage data, such as the number of hits and visits to our sites. This information is used for internal purposes by technical support staff to provide better services to the public and may also be provided to others, but, again, the statistics contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information.

Use of Cookies.  NW Memorials, or its third party vendors, collect non-identifiable and personal information through the use of various technologies, including ''cookies''. A cookie is an alphanumeric identifier that a Web site can transfer to customer's hard drive through customer's browser. The cookie is then stored on customer's computer as an anonymous tag that identifies the customer's computer, but not the customer. Cookies may be sent by NW Memorials or its third party vendors. Customer can set its browser to notify customer before a cookie is received, giving an opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie. Customer may also set its browser to turn off cookies; however, some Web sites may not then work properly.

Collection of Non-Identifiable Information. NW Memorials may collect non-identifiable information from user visits to the NW Memorials Web site(s) in order to provide better customer service. Examples of such collecting include: traffic analysis, such as tracking of the domains from which users visit, or tracking numbers of visitors; measuring visitor activity on NW Memorials Web site(s); Web site and system administration; user analysis; and business decision making. Such information is sometimes known as ''clickstream data.'' NW Memorials or its contractors may use this data to analyze trends and statistics

No Liability for Acts of Third Parties. NW Memorials will exercise all reasonable efforts to safeguard the confidentiality of customer personal information. However, transmissions protected by industry standard security technology and implemented by human beings cannot be made absolutely secure. Consequently, NW Memorials shall not be liable for unauthorized disclosure of personal information due to no fault of NW Memorials including, but not limited to, errors in transmission and unauthorized acts of NW Memorials staff and/or third parties.
