USNA-Net - Privacy Policy

The Privacy of our Members is paramount to USNA-Net.  We will not sell, rent or otherwise disclose ANY personal information about our members to any third party under any circumstances except as outlined below.  

Disclosure of member information and communications

USNA-Net will not otherwise disclose its members' or customers' personal or account information unless USNA-Net has reason to believe that disclosing such information is necessary to identify, make contact with, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing harm or interfering with the rights or property of USNA-Net, USNA-Net's members, or others, or where USNA-Net has a good faith belief that the law requires such disclosure.

USNA-Net also will not, except for reasons stated below, disclose to third parties the contents of any electronic mail or other electronic communications that USNA-Net stores or transmits for its members and customers. The circumstances under which USNA-Net will disclose such electronic member or customer communications are when:

  1. it is necessary in order to provide service to the member or customer;
  2. it is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of USNA-Net or its members or customers;
  3. it is required to cooperate with interception orders, warrants, or other legal process that USNA-Net determines in its sole discretion to be valid and enforceable; and
  4. it is necessary to provide to a law enforcement agency when the contents are inadvertently obtained by USNA-Net and appear to pertain to the commission of a crime.

USNA-Net disclaims any intention to censor, edit or engage in ongoing review or surveillance of communications stored on or transmitted through its facilities by its members, customers or others. USNA-Net will, however, review, delete or block access to communications that may harm USNA-Net, its customers or third parties. The grounds on which USNA-Net may take such action include, but are not limited to, actual or potential violations of USNA-Net's Acceptable Use Policy.
