PRIVACY POLICY
The National Biodiesel Board (NBB) is committed to your privacy. We demonstrate this commitment by posting this Privacy Policy to inform you of:
1. The personally identifiable information we collect from you through our website;
2. How we use the information;
3. With whom we share the information and why;
4. Your choices regarding collection, use, and distribution of the information;
5. The security procedures in place to protect the information under our control;
6. How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.
INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
NBB collects personal information about you when you register with NBB, purchase products from the NBB store or visit the All Things Biodiesel website (“Website”). When you visit the Website, NBB records your IP address, your cookie information and the webpages within the Website that you visit. NBB is the sole owner of the information collected on this website. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement.
COOKIES
A cookie is a piece of data stored on your hard drive containing information about you. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our website. Once you close your browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our website, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our website. If you reject the cookie, you may still use our website. The only drawback to this is that you will be limited in some areas of our website. Cookies can also enable us to track and target your interests to enhance your experience on our website.
Some of our business partners use cookies on our website (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
IP ADDRESSES
We use IP addresses for analyzing trends, administering the website, tracking user’s movement, and gathering broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
PARTNERS
NBB may share aggregate, non-personally identifiable demographic information with partners and advertisers. NBB will not share your personal information with any nonaffiliated companies except in furtherance of providing you goods or services that you have specifically requested. When we share your personal information with nonaffiliated companies, we do so only under the terms of a confidentiality agreement which prohibits the nonaffiliated companies from sharing your personal information with others. We may also share your personal information in response to subpoenas, court orders, or in exercise or defense of our legal rights. In the event NBB merges with another company, NBB will contact you before transferring your personal information to such other company.
HYPERLINKS
This website contains links to other websites. Please be aware that NBB is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites. We encourage you to note when you leave our website and read the privacy statements of each website that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy only applies to information collected by our website.
NEWSLETTER
If you wish to subscribe to our newsletter, we will ask you for contact information such as name and e-mail address.
SURVEYS/CONTESTS
From time-to-time our website may request information from you via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and eligibility to win requires no purchase of our services and, therefore, you have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, gender, ethnicity, date of birth, age level, etc.). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this website.
SECURITY
This website utilizes several security measures to prevent the loss, corruption or unauthorized dissemination of the information collected on this website. Regardless of the security measures undertaken, however, no website operator can guarantee the security or privacy of data collected. Accordingly, despite our efforts to constantly monitor and upgrade our security measures, there will always remain a slight possibility that the data may become compromised. If at any time you become aware of any problems with NBB's security procedures, please contact the webmaster immediately at webmaster@allthingsbiodiesel.com so that we may review and correct any problems.
UNAUTHORIZED USAGE
If at any time NBB becomes aware of any unauthorized usage of this website, including any unauthorized political, commercial, malicious, destructive or illegal use, NBB may, at its discretion, purge the information and/or report any such activities to the relevant authorities. If you become aware of any such unauthorized usage of the website, please contact the webmaster immediately at webmaster@allthingsbiodiesel.com.
CHANGING PERSONAL INFORMATION
If your personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip code), or if you no longer desire our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove your personal data from our files. This can be in writing to NBB at:
NBB

Jefferson City, MO 65110-4898
You can also do this via telephone at 800-841-5849 or by e-mailing our webmaster at webmaster@allthingsbiodiesel.com.
OPT-IN/OPT-OUT
You have the option to ‘opt-out’ of having your information used for purposes not directly related to our website at the point where we ask for the information.
If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from our partners, you may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the e-mail, or e-mail us at webmaster@allthingsbiodiesel.com.
You are always notified when your information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so you can make an informed choice as to whether you should proceed with services that require an outside party, or not.
POLICY CHANGES
In the event NBB significantly modifies its treatment of personally identifiable information, NBB will notify you in writing by sending you written notice to the primary email address you have provided us or by placing a prominent notice of such modifications on this website.
