2.   The information we collect
As you browse through our Website, our web server collects information about your visit, not about you personally.  We gather and monitor statistics such as, for example:

- the number of people who visit the Website;
- the date and time of visits;
- the number of pages viewed;
- the amount of time spent on the Website;
- the most popular sections of the Website

This information is anonymous and no attempt is or will be made to identify visitors. So, for example, on a specific day we can identify that our site has one thousand visitors.  However, we know nothing about these visitors in terms of e-mail addresses or any other personal information.

We only ask and will only ask for personal information from which you can be identified where the information is required for particular purposes.  Examples of details that may be sought include your name, address, e-mail address, etc… (Please refer to 6 below)

All information provided to us by you will be treated with the utmost confidentiality in accordance with all applicable legislative and regulatory standards.  If you ever decide that you no longer wish us to keep or use information or you want the information to be revised or updated, please feel free to contact us.  We will remove or amend the information as appropriate in accordance with applicable legislative and regulatory requirements.

3.   Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of information, stored in simple text files, placed on your computer by a web site.  Cookies can be read by the web site on your subsequent visits.  The information stored in a cookie may relate to your browsing habits on the web page, or a unique identification number so that the web site can "remember" you on your return visit.  Generally speaking, cookies do not contain personal information from which you can be identified, unless you have furnished such information to the web site.

3.1 Use of cookies
Nordic uses cookies to collect information about visitors' use of the Website, including things like connection speed, operating system details, the time and duration visits and IP addresses.  The information collected by cookies enables Nordic to understand the use of its site, including the number of visitors it has, the pages viewed per session, time exposed to particular pages etc.  This in turn helps to provide visitors with a better experience.  Nordic will not attempt to personally identify visitors from their IP addresses.

Cookies will not be used to contact you for marketing purposes other than by means of advertisements offered within Nordic’s Website.

4.   Disclosure of information
Nordic will not divulge customer information to a third party unless we have received customer authorisation or we are required to do so by law or regulation.

5.   Security of information
At Nordic, we understand how important the security and confidentiality of your information is to you.  Keeping customer information secure is a top priority for Nordic.  Our goal is to protect your information on the Internet in the same way as we would in person or over the telephone.

Even so, Nordic cannot guarantee the privacy or confidentiality of information relating to you passing over the Internet.

6.   Internet Fraud
A number of financial organisations and their customers have been the target of hoax e-mails that are aimed at gathering customers personal details.  Some of these hoax e-mails have encouraged or facilitated contact with hoax websites that purport to be (but are not) the website of the relevant financial organisation.  To date the occurrence of such online fraud has not been extensive.  However, we advise you to be cautious as regards disclosing your personal details.  In particular, you should note that we will only ever request your personal details if: (i) you are seeking to initiate e-mail contact with us via this Website; or (ii) you initiate a request for a particular service via this Website and we require certain of your personal details to provide you with the requested service and the requested service is a request for a telephone call from a Nordic or associated advisor or a request for product information.

You are reminded that different terms and conditions of use will apply to you as a user of such websites.  In addition such websites may not attain the same privacy standards that Nordic maintains.
