Collection and Use – Browsing and informational
You are not required to provide any personal information in order to obtain general access to the Site. However, in order to purchase products, you are required to supply an e-mail address and all relevant credit card and shipping data required to fulfill your order(s). No one under 18 years old should use floam.com for order placement. We will collect and use and share your e-mail address in the same manner set forth herein with respect to a parent or guardian's e-mail address. We may also use personal information to customize the services we provide to you and to ensure compliance with NSI policies and applicable law.
Disclosure of Personal Information
Except as provided in this Privacy Policy, we will not share your personal information with any third parties. We may sometimes use other third-party businesses, such as service providers, to perform certain services for us, such as processing information, transmitting e-mails, and providing marketing assistance and data analysis. We may provide personal information to those third-party businesses when that information is necessary for them to complete a requested transaction or otherwise perform their duties. As NSI develops, we may buy other businesses or their assets or sell our business assets. Customer information is generally one of the business assets involved in such transactions. Thus, in the event that NSI or all of its assets are acquired, any collected personal information contained within customer information would be one of the transferred assets.
Finally, NSI reserves the right to disclose personal 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 causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) NSI's rights or property, other visitors, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. This includes our right to exchange information with other organizations in order to protect against fraud and to reduce credit risk. NSI also reserves the right to disclose visitor information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.
From time to time, we may collect general, non-personal, statistical information about the use of the Site, such as how many visitors visit a specific page on the Site, how long they stay on that page, and which hyperlinks, if any, they"click"on. We collect this information through the use of technologies such as"cookies" and"IP addresses", which are discussed in greater detail below. We collect this information in order to determine which areas of the Site are most popular and to enhance the Site for visitors. We may also group this information into aggregate visitor data in order to describe the use of the Site to our existing or potential business partners, sponsors, advertisers or other third parties, or in response to a government request. However, please be assured that this aggregate data will in no way personally identify you or any other visitors to the Site.
IP Addresses
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web. Web servers, the big computers that "serve up" web pages, automatically identify your computer by its IP address. NSI may collect IP addresses for purposes of system administration, to report aggregate information to our advertisers, and to track the use of the Site. When visitors request pages from the Site, our servers log the visitors' IP addresses. It is not our practice to link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a visitor's session will be logged, but the visitor remains anonymous to us. However, we reserve the right to use IP addresses to identify a visitor only when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with the Site's policies or to protect our service or customers, the Site, or others.

Please be aware that when you are on the Site, you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control.

Protecting the security of your personal information is very important to us. When you transmit personal information from your PC to us, your information is protected by Yahoo!'s stringent security protocols. Once we receive your transmission, we will take reasonable precautions to ensure its security on our systems. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

The Site complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"). Any personal information that may be provided to the Site from children under 13 years old will be collected and maintained in accordance with COPPA. While we encourage parents to supervise their children's online activities, we recognize that parents may not always be able to do so. Therefore, in addition to the foregoing provisions of this Privacy Policy, NSI has adopted the following special policies to help ensure that parents will be able to know what information their children under 13 are providing to the Site. If there is any disagreement between this "Children Under 13" section and any other section of this Privacy Policy, this section will control with respect to those children under 13.
Collection and Use of Information; Parental Notice/Consent
In accordance with COPPA, NSI does not require a child under the age of 13 to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in an activity as a condition of participation.
We do not require a child to submit his or her own personal information as a part of any process on floam.com. However, to the extent we collect such personal information, we will use the parent's e-mail address to send an e-mail that (1) notifies the parent(s) that we have collected personal information from the child for the purpose of responding to the child's particular request from the Site, (2) describe the personal information collected from the child, (3) gives the parent(s) the opportunity to deny us permission to send any further responses to the child and to request that we delete the information we have collected from our records, and (4) provides the parent(s) with a link to access this Privacy Policy. We may also use the parent's e-mail address to send the child's password, if one were to be created. In addition, we use such e-mail address to provide relevant updates and information about the Site and the Product(s) and any changes to our practices related to the Site or the Product(s).
We may collect a child's name and e-mail address to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the security of the Site, to protect against liability, or as required or permitted by law without obtaining a parent's consent. Information collected for these reasons will not be used for any other purpose.
Prior to any other collection or use of personal information from a child under 13, NSI shall obtain a parent's consent to such collection and use in accordance with COPPA. We may seek a parent's consent to collect information such as a child's name, mailing address, e-mail address, etc. The Site does not feature any chat rooms or bulletin boards.
Sharing of Information
If it is ever collected, personal information from children under the age of 13 is not shared or forwarded by NSI to any third parties.
Parental Access
Parents of children under age 13 may review or delete personal information about their children from our records at any time. If you would like to review or delete your child's personal information, please contact us at Phone: 212.993.6228 or Email: floamCS@nsi-int.com. When a parent requests deletion of his or her child's information, we will use reasonable efforts to delete as much of the child's information from our database as possible and refrain from collecting any other personally identifiable information from such child. However, there may be residual information that will remain within our databases that may or may not contain personally identifiable information. This residual information will not be given to any other third party or used for any commercial purpose.
The terms of this Privacy Policy may change from time to time without prior notice to you, so please check this page periodically for any changes. You or your child's continued use of the Site following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes. To the extent the changes are material, we will notify parents via the e-mail address provided during registration and provide an opportunity for the parent to opt-out of such use.
