To improve the quality of the information and services NBOA Advisory Services offers to you and to otherwise operate the site and provide certain of its features, tools, and functionality, NBOA Advisory Services collects various PII (as described above) from different parts of its site. NBOA Advisory Services gathers most information voluntarily from you during the registration processes it utilizes to allow for NBOA membership access and/or to enable use of certain online tools or certain information and/or services. NBOA Advisory Services uses this information to contact the user about registration, resources and services. NBOA Advisory Services may request PII at other times, including, but not limited to, when you report a problem with our site, when you complete survey forms, when you register for a service, or when you request to receive communications from NBOA Advisory Services.

Most of the site is informational in nature and publicly available to all users. Please also note that certain PII is available for public review on the site. Consequently, until you register, participate in surveys, sign up for a service, or request to receive information from NBOA Advisory Services, you are able to browse the site without providing any PII, although your browser may tell us what type of computer and operating system you are using as well as other kinds of technical information. When you provide PII to NBOA Advisory Services, you share that information only with NBOA Advisory Services, unless it is specifically stated otherwise or you are using a service or completing a transaction involving third party products, applications, and/or services.
