Sale of your information

We do not and have never sold any personal information.

With whom we share your information

Your information will only be shared and used in accordance with this notice, and where an agreement is in place to ensure that your information is protected. We won’t sell your personal information without your consent. We leverage the software services of our trusted business partnerships to aid in processing data. All such partners are expected to provide such assistance based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. Any processor or partner that we retain is not allowed to use Personal Information they receive from us for any other purpose than to perform the contracted services we have contracted them to perform. There may be situations where we use data processors – companies who act on our behalf – to process your information for us. These processors can only use your information in accordance with our instructions and for the purposes outlined in this Policy. For example, we will share your information with a finance company for the administrative purposes of providing you or your organization credit facilities, as well as making sure information is accurate, up to date and to enable business planning and continuity.

Other than as set out above, we will notify you when personal information about you will be shared with third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to have us share such information.

Information retention

We have reasonable and appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures in place to help safeguard your personal information. However, you should know that no company, including NWS, can fully eliminate security risks associated with personal information. To help protect yourself, use a strong password, do not use the same passwords to access your NWS client accounts that you use with other accounts or services, and protect your user names and passwords to help prevent others from accessing your accounts and services. We retain the right store any and all of the information that has been provided to us. Collected information may be stored on your computers, on your mobile devices, or on our encrypted servers in California, and may be transferred to, accessed from, or stored and processed in, the United States and other countries including but not limited to Ireland, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, Australia, Singapore, Japan, India, and China, and any other country where NWS or its service providers maintain facilities or support centers, including jurisdictions that may differ in privacy laws, which may or may not provide equivalent equal protection compared to those provided in your home country. However, we will protect all personal information we obtain in accordance with this Privacy Policy and take reasonable steps to ensure that it is treated lawfully. Also, our website may use various software technologies including “cookies,” “web beacons” and “pixel tags”, which would be stored in visitors’ computer browsers for their preferences. In certain circumstances, we may retain your personal or client information after you have closed your account or are no longer actively engaged with NWS. For example: • We may retain your account information after you have closed your account so we can send you information about products, services, and publications we think you may be interested in. You can “unsubscribe” to receiving such messages or tell us you are no longer interested • We may retain your personal information in order to protect our legal rights, or those of third parties, or to comply with the law; and • We may retain personal information about how you have used our products and services in order to improve and develop our business. • If you purchase products or services from us, we may retain your personal information for as long as we need to in order to provide you with customer service, or for compliance purposes, for example, in order to comply with our record-keeping requirements. • NWS may also use and share aggregated, non-personally identifiable data for research, external training and marketing purposes.

Third-Party websites

This Website may contain hyperlinks to websites operated by parties other than us. We provide such hyperlinks for your reference only. We do not control such websites and are not responsible for their contents or the privacy or other practices of such websites. It is up to you to read and fully understand their Privacy Policies. Our inclusion of hyperlinks to such websites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such websites or any association with their operators. NWS collects data necessary to provide the services and deliverables as outlined in a Client’s Statement of Work. These include, but are not limited to, the administration of employee surveys, conducting statistical analyses, and creating Client’s Diagnostics Reports. For such services and deliverables, we leverage the software from two proven and trusted providers, Qualtrics and Tableau. These partnerships exist to assist NWS in delivering high-quality solutions, services, and support in a timely manner to our Clients. These third-party partnerships are exclusively for licensed access to their software. NWS limits the scope of these partnerships because we do not want or allow any third-party employees to share, access, or even see Client data. NWS maintains Data Privacy Agreements with these third parties, and while these agreements align with this Data Privacy Agreement, there can be discrepancies. Third parties whose software is used in connection with NWS, such as Tableau and Qualtrics, may have practices that differ from this Data Privacy Policy. Therefore, Clients should be mindful that this Data Privacy Policy does not necessarily carry over to directly apply to all third parties. Due to this, we encourage you to review their privacy policies to understand how they use your information, as NWS cannot be responsible for their activities. Survey distribution, participation, and data collection are all processed using the software and services of Qualtrics, a FedRamp authorized organization. FedRAMP is the gold standard of U.S. government security compliance, with over 300 controls based on the highly-regarded NIST 800-53 that requires constant monitoring and periodic independent assessments. More information is found at https://www.fedramp.gov. Qualtrics is now ISO 27001 certified. More information is in their security statement https://qualtrics.com/security-statement. Tableau compiles and process survey data, and personal information when relevant, in support of its mission to help people see and understand their data. Tableau works to keep personal information confidential and secure and does not sell any personal data. Reporting of survey diagnostics will be made accessible through Tableau’s secure licenses, accessed through NWS’s Client Portal. More information about Tableau’s procedures can be found within Tableau’s Data Privacy Policy.
