Policy describes how we collect and use your information and gives you choices as
to how we use it. The Privacy Policy applies to "www.NBwebexpress.co.uk", "www.NBwebexpress.com"
and "www.joesnewbalanceoutlet.com" (collectively, "the sites") operated by NB Web
Express, LLC, wholly-owned by New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc. By using the sites

What information does NB Web Express collect about me?
Like most websites, every time you visit our site, we automatically collect information
from you that is not personally identifiable. Examples of this type of information
include:
- The type of Internet browser you are using
- The type of computer operating system you are using
- The domain name of your Internet service provider
- Your IP address
- The Web page from which you came
- The pages you visit on our web site
In general, you can visit many of our web pages without telling us who you are or
revealing any personal information about yourself. We may track your visit for trends
and statistics, but you will remain anonymous unless you tell us who you are. Once
you choose to give us your personal information, you are not anonymous to us.
When you purchase from NB Web Express or request to sign up for e-mail or direct
mail notices, we collect information that you volunteer such as your name, e-mail
address, postal address, phone number, gender, and when necessary credit card information
or other information necessary to process your order or send you special announcements.
Your provision of this information is entirely voluntary; however, if you elect
not to provide this personal information, some of the services on the sites may
not be available for your use.
We also collect the information you provide to us when you register for "My Account",
participate in a contest, event or sweepstakes promotion, fill out a survey, or
contact us (for example via e-mail or via "Ask the Expert")
How do you use my information?
The information we receive allows us to personalize our product offering and improve
your online shopping experience, making it more convenient, efficient and enjoyable.
We may use the information we collect to:
- Customize your communications and shopping experience
- Process your purchase, confirm your orders and communicate to you about account
information or customer service needs
- Adapt the content and layout of our pages tailored to your needs and so you do not
have to enter information more than once
- Notify you about new products and services, special offerings and other promotions
- Coordinate contests, promotions, surveys or other website features
- Improve our business and better respond to your needs
How do you share my information?
For the purpose of operating our business, we may transfer information between our
preferred service providers and New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc. who use that information
only to conduct NB Web Express business. For example, they may handle NB Web Express
credit card processing, shipping, data management, email distribution, market research,
information analysis, and promotions management. We provide our preferred service
providers with the information they need to perform their services and work with
them to respect and protect your information.
We may provide your information to New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc. wholly-owned
companies and affiliates such as Aravon and Dunham. We may provide information for
purposes such as reporting and marketing.
On rare occasions, we may disclose specific information upon governmental request,
in response to a court order, when required by law, to enforce our website policies,
or to protect our or others' rights, property, or safety. We may also share information
with companies assisting in fraud protection or investigation. We do not provide
information to these agencies or companies for marketing or commercial purposes.
We will not sell, trade or rent personally identifiable information to other companies
as part of our regular course of business. However, it's possible that we might
acquire or merge with or be acquired by another company or that we might dispose
of some or all of our assets. If that happens, your personal information may be
disclosed to another company, but that disclosure will be subject to the Privacy
Policy in effect.
How do I know my information is secure?
We have a variety of security measures to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration
of information that we have collected from you. To ensure the information you provide
online is secure during transmission, we use leading edge encryption technology
and Secure Socket Layers (SSL) while processing any personal information you supply.
These controls are certified by VeriSign®, a leading Internet security company.
You can review our security certificate using your browser by clicking on the closed
lock or solid key image at the bottom of your browser on any of the secure pages
on our site. This will display our site security information.
For security purposes, your full credit card number is not permanently stored within
our system. On occasion, we may temporarily store the entire encrypted credit card
number when it is necessary to manually contact a credit card company for verification.
This site is also tested and certified daily to pass the McAfee Secure Security
Scan. To help address concerns about hacker access to confidential data, the "live"
McAfee Hacker Safe Secure mark appears only when a web site meets the McAfee Secure
standard. Research indicates sites remotely scanned for known vulnerabilities on
a daily basis, such as those earning McAfee Secure certification, can prevent over
99% of hacker crime. If you have any additional questions, please
