Welcome to The National Quandary. We know you’re concerned about protecting your privacy online. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect about you and how we use that information. In this Privacy Policy, “TNQ” means the website associated with the domain name thenationalquandary.com. The term “Personal Data” refers to personally identifiable information about you, such as your full name, birth date, e-mail address or mailing address, phone number and any other information that can be used to identify or contact you. By using TNQ, you consent to the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy. The National Quandary reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy, and if we do, any such changes will be included on this page so current privacy information will always be available to you. We encourage you check this page periodically.
No Collection of Personal Data from Children under 13.
We recognize the need to provide additional privacy protections for the Personal Data of children under 13. The Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires general audience website operators to obtain a parent’s prior consent if they are knowingly collecting, using or disclosing any Personal Data from a child under 13. The National Quandary is not directed to or intended to be used by children under 13 (or under 18 for that matter), and TNQ does not knowingly collect, use or disclose any Personal Data from children under 13. In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at [email protected]
Personal Data Collected.
The only Personal Data TNQ collects through the The National Quandary website is the Personal Data that you voluntarily provide to TNQ. For example, all users must first create a member account in order to access certain features of the The National Quandary. To create the account, you must enter Personal Data, such as your full name and email address
Instead of creating new account information for The National Quandary, users may choose to use their existing “facebook” personal account information. If you choose to use facebook account information to gain access to The National Quandary, TNQ will then be able to read and access all of your public information, including Personal Data, posted on the www.facebook.com website.
Other data that does not qualify as Personal Data because it cannot be used to contact or identify you (“Non-Personal Data”) may also be collected when a user participates in certain features of the The National Quandary, or may be automatically collected about you.
For example, The National Quandary uses technology to automatically collect Non-Personal Data about the use of the The National Quandary Website. This technology is used to track things like how many users access the The National Quandary Website, the date and time of their visits, the length of their stays, and which pages they view. The National Quandary may also use technology to determine which web browsers users use and the address from which they accessed the Website. In addition, The National Quandary uses Google Analytics Demographics to collect Non-Personal Data about the use of The National Quandary Websites such as overview of traffic by age and gender, as well as overview of traffic by affinity and other categories. The information collected using this technology does not identify any user personally and is thus all Non-Personal Data that simply enables The National Quandary to compile statistics about users and their use of the The National Quandary Website.
The National Quandary uses this Non-Personal Data and may share it with third parties to improve the content and functionality of the The National Quandary Website, to better understand our customers and markets, and to improve our products and services. We may also use this information to provide you with targeted advertising, so that the advertisements you may see on The National Quandary Website are of more interest to you.
