General Statement
This statement was created in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for www.njliving.com, sponsored by New Jersey Resources. New Jersey Resources reserves the right to change this policy at any time.
Information Collected
Personal Information
The personal information you provide us enables you to access various community and customer account services offered on our Web site. We may use this information to contact you to respond to an inquiry that you may send us. We may also use this information to keep you informed about new products and services, updates and announcements. You may opt-out of receiving this information.
Some of the customer account services we offer on our Web site may require transferring you to Web sites operated by third parties. We have contracts with these third parties under which they agree to maintain confidentiality of your personal information and to use it only for the purpose of helping us serve you. We do not disclose personal information to any other third parties.
General Information
Our Web servers automatically collect limited information about your computer's connection to the Internet, including your Internet provider (IP) address, when you visit our site. Your IP address does not identify you personally. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. We use this information to deliver our Web pages to you upon request, to tailor our site to the interests of our visitors and to measure traffic within our site.
Use of Cookies
We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to deliver a better, more personalized service. Cookies are pieces of information that we transfer to your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. The use of cookies is an Internet standard. We also use cookies to avoid showing a visitor the same ad repeatedly during a single visit. In addition, we may use cookies to track the pages on our site visited by our users in order for us to build a better site. Unless you voluntarily identify yourself (through registration), we won't know who you are, even if we assign a cookie to your computer. A cookie cannot read data off your hard drive. Our advertisers/partners may also assign their own cookies to your browser, a process that New Jersey Resources does not control.
Surveys/Polls
Our online surveys and polls may ask for contact information (like your e-mail address). We may use contact data from our surveys and polls to send information about our companies. The contact information is also used to contact you when necessary. You may opt-out of receiving future mailings.
Links to Other Sites
This site contains links to the Web sites of other New Jersey Resources companies. Please refer to these individual sites to see how personal information is used.
This site also contains links to third-party Web sites. Third-party sites that we have contracted with have agreed to maintain confidentiality of your personal information and to use it only for the purpose of helping us serve you. Links to other sites are provided for your convenience and information. These sites are not controlled by New Jersey Resources and therefore are not subject to this policy. Visitors should check the privacy policies of these individual sites to see how proprietors of those sites will utilize personal information.
Public Forums
This site makes chat rooms, forums, bulletin boards and/or news groups available to its visitors. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.
Security
No security system is impenetrable. However, New Jersey Resources uses state-of-the art security measures to protect information that we have collected from you at our site.
My Account Information, which provides customer services that involve transactions and requests initiated by you, uses secure areas protected by firewall technology and data encryption.
Please refer to our Help section for information on registration and passwords.
