How We Use This Information

We do not share your information with any third-parties except third party providers of services to us for Website operations and maintenance.
We use the information we automatically collect to help us better plan our Website to meet our users’ Internet needs. Information that you provide to us may be used by us for marketing purposes, and may result in follow-up communications.
Third-Party Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your “Personally Identifiable Information” unless you provide us with authorization to do so. Such authorization from you, however, does not include (and is not needed for) website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our Website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep such information confidential. We may also release information when the release or sharing of such information is required or appropriate in order to comply with applicable law, a valid subpoena or court order, the compulsory direction of a governmental agency, to enforce our site policies, or to protect our or others' rights, property or safety.
In order to enhance our Website or how we process orders from our customers, we may share anonymized usage statistics with reputable third-party analytics providers but, in doing so, no personally identifiable information is disclosed and, more generally, non-personally identifiable visitor information (that is, anonymized data) may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

Your Rights and Choices, and Our Obligations
NYWD respects the rights of privacy of users visiting our Website. We may use directory information that we have collected to send you information about products and services, or updates and other information that we think may be of interest to you. If you tell us that you do not wish to receive such information used as a means of keeping in touch with you, we will respect your wishes. Please contact us to request that your name and address be removed from our lists. If you do not want to receive our e-mail marketing, please submit a request to have your e-mail address removed by emailing: admin@nywdinc.com.
You may send us an email at to: admin@nywdinc.com to request access to, to correct or to delete any personal information that you have provided to us. In all likelihood, we will be unable to delete your personal information except by also deleting your user account, if applicable. We may decline to accommodate a request to change information that you have provided to us if we believe that making any such change would violate any law or legal requirement, or cause the information to be incorrect.

PLEASE NOTE THAT CERTAIN STATES, currently including:
have adopted State-specific data privacy laws already in force or soon coming into force that may provide you with additional rights concerning your personal information if you are a resident of one of such States.
Similar State-specific laws are currently under consideration in other States and, while we will endeavor to keep this list updated to reflect such additional States once they have adopted their own privacy laws or such laws have come into effect, you should check with your State officials from time to time to see if your State (if not listed above) has adopted its own data privacy laws that may further protect or affect your rights.
If you are a California resident, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits you to request information regarding the disclosure of your personal information by certain businesses to third parties for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes, including the identity of the third parties to which information was disclosed and the type of information that was disclosed. Please note that, under California law, a business is only required to respond to such a request once in any calendar year.
Because we are not sharing your personal information with any third parties to facilitate any third parties’ marketing purposes, this so-called “Shine the Light” law does not currently apply to our collection or use of your personal information.
Legal Protections and Law Enforcement
As noted above, we may (and may be compelled to) disclose information about our users, including your personal information, in the event that we are required to respond to subpoenas, court orders, legal process or other valid law enforcement measures; to comply with a legal obligation; at the request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation; to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing the Websites and applicable laws; or to protect the legal rights, interests, or safety of the Websites, our users or others. We may also use device identifiers to identify users, and may do so in cooperation with copyright owners, internet service providers or law enforcement agencies in our discretion. Such disclosures may be carried out without notice to you.
Our Security Measures; Your Cooperation
We prioritize the security of your data by employing industry-standard measures, including encryption, firewalls, secure transmission protocols, access controls and routine security audits to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access, use, alteration and disclosure. We and our service providers also reassess from time to time whether such measures are at least consistent with the measures employed by other similar websites. This includes protecting the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.
Please note that the safety and security of your information also depends on you.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, or in connection with an account that you establish with us, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
