As a visitor, you do not have to sign in or use any form of a password in order to use the website. On a voluntary basis, and only for certain features/pages, we invite visitors to provide information such as name, title, company, email and telephone numbers so that we may provide specific information that visitors may request.

The Northridge website may also collect content that you provide, including, but not limited to, postings on any blogs and other social media applications and services that we may provide.

We do not collect information such as age, gender or financial information. The collected information is used to provide an overview of how people are accessing and using the website. It is not used to profile website visitors.

We may use your personal information to enhance the operation of the Northridge website, improve our marketing efforts, and analyze website use.

If you choose to provide us with Personally Identifiable Information (PII) on the Northridge website, or through such methods as completing a web form or sending us an email, we will use that information to help us provide you the service you have requested or to respond to your message. When we request information, we fully describe the reasons for collecting it and our intended use of the information.

You may decline to share certain Personal Data with us, in which case we may not be able to provide you some of the features and functionality of our services. At any time, you may object to the processing of your Personal Data, on legitimate grounds, except if otherwise permitted by applicable law.

We use third-party services to collect standard internet log information, IP addresses, and information on visitor behavior patterns. We analyze and trend this data in various ways to determine patterns such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site. We process this data in aggregate and not at the individual visitor level.

If you are visiting the website from outside the United States, please be aware that you are sending information (including Personal Data) to the United States where our servers are located.

Log Information, Cookies, and Web Beacons

The Northridge website collects standard Internet log information including your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring website addresses. To facilitate and customize your experience with the website, we store cookies on your computer. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a visitor’s computer for record-keeping purposes which contains information about that visitor. We use cookies to save you time while using the Northridge website, remind us who you are, and track and target your interests in order to provide a customized experience.

We may use other industry standard technologies, such as pixel tags and web beacons, to track your use of the Northridge website pages, or we may allow our service provider(s) to use these devices on our behalf. Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny electronic images that allow the website to count visitors who have accessed a particular page and to access certain cookies. Pixel tags allow us to measure and improve our understanding of visitor traffic and behavior on our website.

Email

We also may encourage you to send us an email with inquiries. We will use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry. We will only send you general information via email. You should be reminded that email may not necessarily be secure against interception. Therefore, we suggest that you do not send sensitive personal data (such as your Social Security number) to us via email. We will not ask, and there is generally no reason for you to ever provide any sensitive information, such as your bank account, credit card, or Social Security number.
