I. Privacy Policy
The NSCB is strongly committed in protecting your
privacy online.
The purpose of this policy is to explain how we
handle the information we collect from you during your visit to our
web site. It is important to keep in mind that we do not collect
personally-identifiable information (name, address, e-mail address,
social security number, or other unique identifiers) on our web site
unless we specifically advise you that we are doing so.
NSCB reserves the right to change this statement
at any time by posting revisions on the NSCB Web site. This privacy
policy is not intended to, and does not create any contractual or
other legal rights in or on behalf of any party.
When you send us personally-identifying
information in an e-mail or through a subscription form, we use the
information you provide only to help us gather the information you
might request. In an effort to respond to your request, the
information you submit may be viewed by various people within the
NSCB. Public notices issued by the NSCB in which interested persons
are invited to comment will contain a notice of what we intend to do
with the data gathered.
An e-mail is not necessarily secure against
interception. Whether or not an e-mail is "secured" depends on your
software.
To order our products, you will have to provide
us with personally-identifiable information to support the purchase.
The information you provide may be entered into a database maintained
to service our customers. While personally-identifiable information
you provide is protected by law, we may be required by law to disclose
the names and addresses of businesses that purchase our products.
II. Document Accessibility Statement

its internet server accessible to all. As such, we are continuously
reviewing our site to insure maximum accessibility. Many of our
internet documents are in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) and PDF
(Portable Document Format) formats which make them accessible to
persons using screen reading software.

incorrect rendering of pages in some browsers. We suggest that users
upgrade to the latest versions (at least version 4) of browsers so
