NikonNet values the privacy of its members and visitors. This privacy policy describes our information collection practices, so that you may better understand what type of information we collect from you, and what we do with that information.
What personal information does NikonNet collect?
NikonNet collects names, street and email addresses from registered members. NikonNet also asks for additional, optional information through its registration form—including, but not limited to, digital imaging interests and experiences—and collects that information when provided.
On occasion, we may request financial information, such as income level, through online surveys. Our server also places a "cookie"—a string of text and numbers—into a file on each visitor's hard drive. Each time the visitor returns to our site, the cookie is resent to our server so that we may track login time. In addition, we collect each visitor's IP address, which is a number that can be used to identify that visitor's Internet service provider, among other things.

NikonNet may disclose information we have collected from you and/or content you have made available on our site in the following limited circumstances, and also may disclose such information and/or content to others when NikonNet believes in good faith that the law requires it, or to protect the rights or property of NikonNet or its visitors. Information submitted at the time of registration—including, but not limited to, name and email address—may be used for marketing and promotional purposes by NikonNet and may be shared with other companies who offer a co-branded version of our site.
