During registration, National Career College may ask for personal information such as your name, email address, gender, zip/postal code, occupation, industry and personal interests.
In addition to registration, we may ask you for personal information at other times, including (but not limited to) when you download a file (such as a .PDF file) from us; when you ask us to contact you; when you join our mailing list; and when you report a problem with one of our sites or services. If you contact National Career College, we may keep a record of that correspondence. National Career College may also occasionally ask users to complete surveys that we use for research. Wherever National Career College collects personal information we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.

With whom does National Career College share my information?
National Career College will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission. National Career College may disclose account information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating National Career College’s Terms of Service or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) National Career College’s rights or property, other National Career College users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.

If you do not wish to allow your data to be shared, you can choose not to use a particular service or not to participate in certain promotions or contests.
What else should I know about my privacy?
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online – for example on message boards, through email, or in instant message or chat areas – that this information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, National Career College cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you’re online.
