Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: naspweb.com. This Privacy Policy applies to the National Association of Safety Professionals (“NASP,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), our website, and related online services, including our learning management system (“LMS”) where applicable.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

We collect information that you provide directly to us, information collected automatically when you use our website or LMS, and information generated through cookies and similar technologies.

Account, registration, and course information

When you create an account, register for a course, purchase training, submit an application, complete a form, or otherwise interact with NASP, we may collect information such as:

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number
• Employer or place of employment
• Billing and transaction information
• Course enrollment, completion, certification, or training-related information
• Form submissions and communications with us

We use this information to provide training and certification services, process registrations and transactions, maintain account records, respond to inquiries, provide support, and meet administrative, legal, and operational requirements.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address, also called a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine whether you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data, such as EXIF GPS data. Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images posted on the website.

Cookies and similar technologies

Our website and LMS may use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, and similar technologies for site functionality, account login, security, analytics, advertising, attribution, diagnostics, and platform maintenance.

Cookies and similar technologies may collect or process information such as:

• IP address
• Browser type and version
• Device information
• Operating system
• Referring URLs
• Pages visited
• Date and time of visits
• Interactions with pages, forms, videos, links, downloads, and carts
• Advertising or analytics identifiers
• Course, registration, cart, or transaction events

Necessary cookies

Some cookies are necessary for the website or LMS to function. These may support login, account access, security, fraud prevention, cart functionality, form submission, and other essential site operations.

For example, if you have an account and log in to this site, we may set cookies to determine whether your browser accepts cookies, save login information, remember display preferences, and support account functionality. If you select “Remember Me,” your login may persist for a limited period. If you log out of your account, login cookies will be removed.

Analytics and marketing cookies

We may use analytics and marketing technologies to understand website performance, measure advertising effectiveness, track conversions, improve our services, and understand how users interact with our website and LMS.

These technologies may include tools such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, Microsoft/Bing advertising tools, Loop Analytics, LinkedIn advertising technologies, and similar services. These tools may collect information about your browser, device, pages visited, interactions, referrals, and conversion events.

California cookie consent

For visitors identified as being in California, NASP displays a cookie consent banner. For those visitors, non-essential analytics and marketing technologies are denied by default until the visitor provides consent. California visitors may accept or reject non-essential cookies and similar technologies through the cookie banner.

Visitors outside California may not see the California-specific cookie banner, and certain analytics or marketing technologies may operate as configured for those regions.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles, pages, or LMS content on this site may include embedded content, such as videos, images, articles, forms, or other materials. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the other website directly.

These third-party websites or services may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction with embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that third-party website.

Analytics, advertising, and tracking services

NASP may use analytics, advertising, attribution, and conversion-tracking services to evaluate website usage, improve user experience, understand form submissions and transactions, measure advertising performance, and improve outreach.

These services may collect information automatically through cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, or similar technologies. Depending on the service and your consent choices where applicable, this may include IP address, device and browser information, pages visited, referring pages, interactions, conversions, form events, cart events, and related usage data.

We do not use these technologies to collect sensitive personal information intentionally. Users should avoid submitting sensitive information through general website forms unless specifically requested by NASP for a legitimate purpose.

LMS and platform monitoring

Our LMS and related systems may use operational monitoring, diagnostics, security, and performance tools operated by our LMS vendor or other service providers. These tools may collect technical information such as browser information, device information, page performance data, errors, system events, IP address, and related diagnostic information.

These tools are used to maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the LMS and related systems. NASP may not have direct access to all vendor-operated diagnostic systems, but those systems may process technical data as part of providing and maintaining the LMS.

reCAPTCHA

This site may be protected by reCAPTCHA. Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

Who we share your data with

NASP does not sell personal information in the ordinary sense of exchanging it for money.

However, we may disclose or make information available to service providers, vendors, and technology partners that help us operate our website, LMS, training services, payment processing, analytics, advertising, security, diagnostics, customer support, email communications, and related business operations.

These vendors may include, depending on the service used:

• Website hosting and infrastructure providers
• LMS and platform vendors
• Payment processors
• Analytics providers
• Advertising and conversion-tracking platforms
• Email and communications providers
• Security, spam prevention, and fraud prevention services
• Diagnostic and performance-monitoring providers
• Professional advisors or legal/compliance service providers

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, to enforce our policies, to prevent fraud or abuse, or in connection with legal, regulatory, security, or administrative requirements.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website or LMS, we store the personal information they provide in their account profile and related training, certification, transaction, and administrative records. We retain this information for as long as needed to provide services, maintain accurate training and certification records, comply with legal or administrative obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and support legitimate business operations.

Analytics, cookie, and diagnostic data may be retained according to the settings and retention periods of the applicable technology providers and our internal operational needs.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have submitted information to us, you may request to receive an exported file of personal data we maintain about you, including data you have provided to us. You may also request that we correct, update, or erase personal data we maintain about you.

This does not include data we are required or permitted to keep for administrative, legal, security, certification, training-record, transaction, dispute-resolution, or compliance purposes.

To submit a privacy request, contact us using the contact information listed on our website.

Privacy choices

Depending on your location and the services you use, you may have choices regarding cookies, analytics, advertising, and certain uses of personal information.

California visitors may use the Cookiebot banner to accept or reject non-essential analytics and marketing cookies. You may also be able to manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking or deleting cookies may affect website or LMS functionality.

You may also use available platform-level opt-out tools provided by advertising and analytics providers, where applicable.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Information collected through our website or LMS may be processed by service providers and technology vendors that support website hosting, LMS operations, payment processing, analytics, advertising, diagnostics, security, communications, spam prevention, and related services. These providers may process information in the United States or other locations where they or their service providers operate.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. However, no website, LMS, transmission method, or storage system is completely secure. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials and for using secure devices and networks when accessing NASP services.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, services, legal requirements, or operational needs. The “Last Updated” date above indicates when this policy was last revised.
