Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy sets out how and why the FNSS collects, uses and discloses information, including personal information on this web site.
Personal Information
“Personal Information” means any information, recorded in any form, about an identified individual or an individual whose identity may be inferred or determined from such information, other than business contact information. Business contact information is: name, title, business address, business telephone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses.
This Privacy Policy will notify you of the following:

- What choices are available to you regarding the use of your Personal Information;
- The reasonable security procedures in place to protect your Personal Information; and

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing
The FNSS collects Personal Information that would be considered reasonable in the circumstances in order to:
- Provide products, services or information;
- Comply with any legal or regulatory requirement; and
- Such other purposes consistent with the foregoing purposes.
We are the sole owners of the information collected on this Site.
We do not sell, rent or trade Personal Information to anyone.
We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request or as required by law.
Consent
Unless permitted by law, we collect no Personal Information, without first obtaining the consent of the individual concerned to the collection, use and dissemination of that information. However, the FNSS may seek consent to use and disclose Personal Information after it has been collected in those cases where the FNSS wishes to use the information for a purpose not identified in this Privacy Policy or not previously identified or for which the individual concerned has not previously consented. In the event an individual, who provides information to the FNSS, does not indicate his or her consent, the submission of the information to the FNSS is evidence of the consent of an applicant to the use of his or her personal information for these purposes.
Disclosure of Personal Information
The FNSS may release Personal Information, which is not already public, when the FNSS believes, in good faith, when it is reasonably necessary to:
- Comply with any legal or regulatory requirement;
- Protect the legal rights, property or safety of the FNSS and its staff, management, agents, consultants, service providers or volunteers; or
- Provide you a product, service or information.
The FNSS may provide aggregate statistics about this web site’s operation to third parties, but these statistics will not have personally identifying information. Where the FNSS discloses Personal Information to organizations that perform services on the FNSS’ behalf, the FNSS will require those service providers to use such information solely for the purposes of providing services to the person concerned or the FNSS and to have appropriate safeguards for the protection of your Personal Information.
Where obliged or permitted to disclose information without consent, the FNSS will not disclose more Personal Information than is required.
Accuracy and Retention of Personal Information
The FNSS takes reasonable steps to ensure that any Personal Information provided to the FNSS and in the FNSS’ possession is as accurate, current and complete as necessary for the purposes for which the FNSS uses that information. If the FNSS becomes aware that Personal Information is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, the FNSS will revise the Personal Information and, if necessary, use the FNSS’ best efforts to inform third parties which were provided with inaccurate information so that those third parties may also correct their records.
The FNSS retains Personal Information only as long as it is required for the reasons it was collected. When Personal Information is no longer required by the FNSS, FNSS will employ reasonable methods to destroy, delete, erase or convert that Personal Information into an anonymous form.
Protection of Personal Information
The FNSS takes reasonable steps to maintain appropriate security so as to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification of Personal Information. The FNSS also takes these reasonable steps regarding disposal or destruction of Personal Information.
From time to time, the FNSS audits the FNSS’ information management practices and security procedures to ensure compliance with this Privacy Policy.

The FNSS will use best efforts to provide the information requested within a reasonable time and no later than 30 days following the Personal Information request.
