Thank you for visiting the NST Online. Your privacy is important to us and to enable us to protect your privacy in relation to our interactive services and products, we set out this statement an overview explaining our online information practices and the choices available to you in respect of the way your information may be collected and used at this website. Please note however, that this statement only applies to us and not to other companies’ or organization’s websites to which we link.
The Information We Collect
In general, our service gathers certain usage information automatically, eg. the numbers and frequency of visitors to our website and the various areas of interest which inform us of its popularity amongst our visitors. Such data is usually used in the aggregate so that the data collected will assist us to determine the extent to which our visitors use the relevant parts of the website and enable us to improve the website with a view towards making it even more appealing to our visitors.
The use of such information may generally be categorized into two general purposes: to fulfill your requests for certain services and products, and to contact you about specials and new services and products.
Information About You
On occasions, we may ask you specifically for information about you when you sign up to use a service or when you want to order a product. We will need certain information about you, eg. name, address, internet address or screen name, telephone number, fax number, billing address, type of computer, credit card information and information about your interests in and use of various services and products in order to enable us to provide such services and products to you. The information may also be used to let you know of additional products and services, which you may be interested in from time to time.
If you do not want to receive information about such additional products and services, you may do so by letting us know when you sign up for the products or services on the registration screen. We may also ask you for information about your interests so that both you and we may take advantage of the online interactivity, but always bearing in mind that you may always choose to respond or not.
Agents or contractors of NSTP e-Media who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect such information in a manner that is consistent with this statement, e.g. by not using the information for any purpose other than to carry out the services for which we have contracted them for. Whilst every appropriate measure is taken to safeguard against un-authorized disclosure of such information, we cannot guarantee that such information, which we have collected, will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this statement.

Special Attention To Children
We take special care to protect the safety and privacy of children using our services. We do not specifically collect information about children and strongly recommend that children obtain their parent’s consent before giving out any personal information. We would encourage you to participate in your children’s experience in exploring the Internet and to use suitable web filtering technology to supervise your children’s access to the Internet.
Changes To The Policy Statement
