HEART/NSTA Trust may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, HEART/NSTA Trust may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries.

This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within HEART/NSTA Trust to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
HEART/NSTA Trust websites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.

USE OF COOKIES
The HEART/NSTA Trust Web site use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize HEART/NSTA Trust pages, or register with HEART/NSTA Trust site or services, a cookie helps HEART/NSTA Trust to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same HEART/NSTA Trust Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the HEART/NSTA Trust features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies if you prefer. On this Web site, you can choose to decline or accept cookies using the banner or widget located on all pages of the Web site. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the HEART/NSTA Trust services or Web sites you visit.
REGARDING EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
HEART/NSTA Trust secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. HEART/NSTA Trust secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol. HEART/NSTA Trust will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. HEART/NSTA Trust encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how HEART/NSTA Trust is protecting your information.
