Northwest Datacom will not be liable to Visitors or Customers for any such occurrences.

What does Northwest Datacom do if there is an unauthorized disclosure of information or a security breach?

An individual who requests to have Personally Identifiable Information deactivated will have this information functionally deleted, and Northwest Datacom will not sell, transfer, or use Personally Identifiable Information relating to that individual in any way moving forward.

What happens if the Privacy Policy Changes?

Northwest Datacom will let Visitors and Customers know about changes to this Privacy Policy by posting such changes on the Site. Visitors and Customers will be deemed to have notice of changes to the Privacy Policy upon Northwest Datacom’s posting of an updated policy on the Site. However, if Northwest Datacom is changing this Privacy Policy in a manner that might cause disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information that a Visitor or Customer has previously requested not be disclosed, we will contact such Visitor or Customer to allow such Visitor or Customer to prevent such disclosure.
