Use of Cookies
The PDC website may use "cookies" to help you
personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on
your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or
deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can
only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to
save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have
returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize PDC pages, or
register with PDC site or services, a cookie helps PDC to recall your specific
information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your
personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on.
When you return to the same PDC website, the information you previously
provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the PDC features that you
customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the NPDC services or websites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
PDC secures your personal information from unauthorized
access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card
number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of
encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
Children Under Thirteen
PDC does not knowingly collect personally identifiable
information from children under the age of thirteen. If you are under the age
of thirteen, you must ask your parent or guardian for permission to use this
website.

receiving any or all communications from PDC by contacting us.
