NPMG is a company that helps other businesses operate all aspects of marketing, sweepstakes, contests and promotions (“Promotions”). In addition, NPMG occasionally runs its own Promotions. Such Promotions gather personally identifiable information from those individuals who choose to enter a particular Promotion and anonymous data regarding the Promotion itself. NPMG takes essay writing sites its privacy obligations both to its clients and to people who enter its Promotions very seriously. NPMG adheres to the Safe Harbor Principles as established by the European Commission and the United States Department of Commerce.
This policy outlines our treatment of personally identifiable information we collect on behalf of our clients and for our own use. There are three types of Promotions in which NPMG is involved: 1) Client Promotions; 2) NPMG “Optin” to Client Promotions; and 3) NPMG Promotions.
Client Promotions: As a full service marketing, promotions and sweepstakes agency, NPMG operates Promotions on behalf of its clients. As part of those services, NPMG collects personally identifiable information for its clients by use of NPMG proprietary online technology, NPMG mailboxes, and points of entry offline. NPMG collects such personally identifiable information solely for the use of its clients and the operation of the Promotions. NPMG does not use any of the data collected itself, other than to notify potential winners and for prize fulfillment purposes in connection with a Promotion. NPMG does not consolidate data across different clients’ Promotions, does not maintain
data beyond the conclusion of client Promotions (other than for backup purposes on its client’s behalf), and does not “monetize” data collected on behalf of its clients in any manner whatsoever. NPMG strictly limits access to all personally identifiable information within its organization, and data is never shared outside of the company for any reason whatsoever (with the exception of appropriate governmental or legal requests).
Personally identifiable information collected from different client Promotions is never mingled or shared with anyone other than the client on whose behalf the information was collected. Personally identifiable information collected by NPMG on behalf of a client belongs solely to the client and will be used solely in accordance with that particular client’s Privacy Policy. An individual’s desire to “optout” of receiving marketing or other information from a client will be handled in accordance with a particular client’s Privacy Policy. NPMG requires its clients, by contract, to use the data which NPMG collects on its behalf in accordance with generally accepted privacy standards for both offline and online data, which includes an “optout” method for individuals who have provided personally identifiable information. Ultimately, however, NPMG is not responsible for data collected on behalf of its clients when such data is in its client’s possession. Where NPMG operates one Promotion on behalf of multiple clients, the use of the personally identifiable information by all of the companies involved will be clearly outlined by a Privacy Policy created for that Promotion.
NPMG “Optin” to Client Promotions: From time to time, NPMG and one of its clients will agree to allow NPMG to offer entrants to a Promotion an opportunity to “optin” to receiving marketing information from NPMG and its partners. In such cases, on the Promotion registration page, an NPMG “optin” question will appear clearly explaining to potential entrants that by checking the box they will be agreeing to share their personally identifiable information with NPMG. If there is not an NPMG “optin” question on the registration form, NPMG will not share or use any of the data collected whatsoever. When individuals “optin” to receive information from NPMG, they are agreeing topics for proposal essays to receive email and other notices from NPMG, including marketing messages, surveys, special offers and notices about other Promotions. Such notices may come from NPMG itself, companies with whom NPMG has a business relationship and/or NPMG clients.

Your California Privacy Rights (As provided by California Civil Code Section 1798.83): A California resident who has provided personal information to a business with whom he/she has established a business relationship for personal, family, or household purposes (“California customer”) is entitled to request information about whether the business has disclosed personal information to any third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. In general, if the business has made such a disclosure of personal information, upon receipt of a request by a California customer, the business is required to provide a list of all third parties to whom personal information was disclosed in the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of the categories of personal information that were disclosed.

Rather, the business may comply with the law by notifying the customer of his or her right to prevent disclosure of personal information and providing a cost free means to exercise that right.
