Updated: September 25, 2012
Our Commitment to Privacy
Northwoods Consulting Partners, Inc. ("Northwoods") respects your privacy and we have developed the following policy to demonstrate our commitment to you. This privacy policy applies to personally identifiable information we collect about you on the Northwoods website located at TeamNorthwoods.com (the “Site”) and describes the types of information collected, how that information is used, and the choices users have about collection and use of this information. This privacy policy does not govern privacy practices associated with offline activities, websites other than the Site, or products and services not available or enabled via the Site, except as expressly set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
Although much of the Site is available without registration or providing personal information, in order to take advantage of some of our Site’s features, you will be asked to provide personal information. This personal information is provided voluntarily by you, the user, in order to participate or register for a particular product or service, or when you otherwise communicate with us or the Site. Personal information will be collected at various pages on the Site, including when you:
- Submit an online inquiry
- Sign up for newsletters and other Northwoods information
- Submit an employment application
We clearly identify data you must provide so we can deliver the services or information you request. Northwoods may ask that you provide personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including ZIP/Postal code), email address, employer, job title and department, telephone numbers, and other personal information. Providing this information is optional, but failure to do so in some cases will limit the services available to you.
In addition, our web servers automatically collect and log web usage data from you when you visit the Site. This information, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, referring sites, pages viewed, browser type, operating system, CPU speed, referring or exit web pages, and length of visit, informs us about how visitors use and navigate the Site.

Northwoods does not share your personally identifiable information, but we may use your information to, among other things:
- Provide newsletters and information about Northwoods
- Provide the information or service requested or otherwise respond to your inquiries
- Improve the content, navigation, and efficiency of the Site
- Perform internal marketing and research
- Make you aware of other benefits, products, services or events offered by Northwoods that may interest you
- Notify you of changes to this Privacy Policy or to other policies that may affect you and your use of the Site
Except as described above, we will not sell, rent, or in any way intentionally disclose personal information that you provide to us on this Site to any third party, unless we are required to: (1) in connection with a merger, sale or consolidation of all or substantially all our assets, or (2) to comply with valid legal process such as a search warrant, subpoena, or court order.
We may use and share with others aggregated or anonymous (not personally identifiable) information that we have collected based on web usage data, surveys, or statistical information that we have compiled about our users.
Cookies
Like most websites, we use cookies to help us provide better customer service and to enhance the user experience and deliver personalized content. Many improvements and updates to this website are based on the data collected through the cookies, such as total number of visitors and pages viewed. A "cookie" is a small text file stored locally in the computer used to access your account, and contains information relating to your past use of this website. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. However, if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive feature of this web site or services you visit.

We periodically review and update security measures in light of current technologies. Please note, that despite our efforts, no security measures are completely secure.

We recommend that you review the privacy policies of those sites when you visit them.
