Event Registration
When you register for an event, such as an open day or seminar, your contact information may be added to our database for future communication or for statistical purposes.

Product Purchases
Information is collected at the time of a sale in order to complete the sale and deliver the products. Customer lists are not sold or distributed to third parties. Credit card transactions are processed by Authorize.net and Virtual Cart. A professional payment authorization service was chosen for added security and reliability, both of these companies utilize secure server technology. Only the purchase price and the credit card information supplied by the customer is supplied to Authorize.net and VirtualCart. Information collected during transactions is maintained in their databases for accounting and billing purposes. Information from these transactions is not released to third parties. NewTek does not maintain a copy of the credit card information on its servers. Purchases from vendors linked from the NewTek site (ie. Amazon, DeskTop Video, etc.) are subject to that site's privacy policy.

Mailing Lists
NewTek maintains subscription mailing lists. These lists are "opt-in" lists. This means that you must subscribe to these lists using your preferred email account, and you must confirm your subscription via return e-mail. Users are never subscribed to these mailing lists based on requesting information, making a purchase, or forgetting to uncheck some box during ordering. Every email sent out using our mailing list clearly identifies NewTek as the sender of the mail and explains how to unsubscribe from the list at the bottom of the email. You will use the same preferred email address that you initially entered to "opt-in"

Discussion Forums
By joining our Discussion Forums, you agree to receive infrequent email announcements regarding special offers from NewTek.

In an effort to better serve our user forum visitors, our forums use cookies to store your preferences in your browser for a period of one (1) year, should you choose to customize the bulletin board to reflect your preferences by clicking on "preferences" in the user forums.

Please note that all information you may post on the user forums is considered public information, and is subject to all the terms and conditions outlined in the NewTek user forums statement. Information stored in the Forums databases is not used for unsolicited email.
