NPN’s Privacy Statement
Nonprofit Professionals Now (NPN) created this privacy statement to demonstrate our commitment to maintaining the privacy and security of our clients, website users, and the communities we serve. This statement explains how NPN collects, uses, and discloses individually identifiable information (“personal information”) that we obtain through our interactions and our website. Please read this information carefully. By using this website, and/or submitting any personal information, you expressly consent to the terms in this Privacy Statement, as well as our Terms of Use.
We have established policies to protect the security and privacy of all information we collect. We maintain strict internal policies against unauthorized disclosure or use of any client or website user information.
Any suspected attempt to breach our policies and procedures, or to engage in any type of unauthorized action involving our web systems will be regarded as potential criminal activity and may be reported to the appropriate authorities.
The following discloses our information-gathering and dissemination practices for our website identified by the domain name of npprofessionals.com.
Collection of Personal Information
We consider your data to be private and confidential, and we hold ourselves to the highest standards of trust in its safekeeping and use.
Our website employs a variety of mechanisms to ensure that the data you provide is not lost, misused, or altered inappropriately (e.g., storing all data in a secure location, requiring authentication for access, etc.). Any data requested will be used for recruitment purposes only. We have a legitimate interest in this data in order to ensure that meaningful and relevant employment opportunities are presented to you in a timely manner.
Personal information will typically be acquired directly from you via voluntary submission of a job post/listing purchase or documents relevant to the search process, e.g., resume or curriculum vitae (including name, address, telephone number, email address, degrees and qualifications, employment history, and other details). It may also include interview notes and comments resulting from reference checks. Additional information may occasionally include biographical data readily available in the public domain.
Apart from verification of employment history, education, and other qualifications, together with subsequent reference testing, NPN will assume that information provided by you is accurate, complete, and up-to-date at the time of submission.
If you are a potential candidate, we may collect your name and contact details, information about your employment objectives, past and current employment and professional experience, educational background, language skills, and other data that you provide us through conversations, emails, or voluntary submission of candidate materials such as cover letters, resumes or curriculum vitae, or other documents related to your application.
If you are a client or potential client, we may collect your name, contact details, title or position for which you are conducting a search, services requested, or other information that you provide via phone conversations or email correspondence.
With respect to all website visitors, we do not wish to collect any “sensitive” personal information, such as age, religion, racial or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, government identity numbers such as Social Security or other numbers, health or medical conditions, or criminal history, nor is there the mechanism to collect such information. We obtain data about our candidates in a lawful manner and from public sources only.
We collect various categories of personal information on this website through forms. If you request a Salary Survey, create an Employer Profile, or post a Job Listing via online forms, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, or other personal information contained in that correspondence.
Use of Personal Information
We may use personal information to respond to your inquiries and answer your questions, to provide you with the requested information, and to undertake activities, in connection with our executive search or other services such as evaluating candidate qualifications, contacting potential candidates for further personal information, contacting named references, and communicating with clients about potential candidates.
The information we collect from you will be primarily to support your application for a defined, open position. The information assembled will be confined to information provided by you and your third-party references. Disclosure of assembled information of a particular individual will be made solely to the specific, named client organization we represent and, unless specifically approved by you, will not be transferred to any other third party.
We also may use personal information for the purposes of testing and maintaining our company databases, networks, and computer systems, and for training and other internal purposes.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We may share personal information with our associates and affiliates where necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of our executive search or other services. We reserve the right to disclose personal information to third-party subcontractors, including information technology providers and business process outsourcing providers, in order to help support our business operations. We also reserve the right to disclose personal information in connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of all or part of the business, or where we believe such disclosure may be required by law or may be appropriate in connection with any legal claims. We may also use, disclose, or otherwise process any information for statistical or any other purposes that we choose at our sole discretion, as long as such information is not in a personally identifiable form.
Security of Personal Information
NPN maintains reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. To the extent that we disclose personal information to third-party subcontractors, we require such third parties also to maintain reasonable security and confidentiality measures and use the personal information in accordance with our instructions. In addition, where we disclose personal information to clients and other third parties mentioned in the preceding sections, we will request that they properly protect the security and confidentiality of such information, and otherwise process such data in accordance with applicable law. Our processing is based in the United States and we do not transfer any data outside our borders.
It is a policy of NPN to respect the privacy of our clients, members, and the people doing business through our services. Personal information presented here WILL NOT be sold, traded, loaned, published, or distributed by any other means to any party other than NPN.
Access to Personal Information
NPN wishes to maintain personal information that is accurate, current, and complete.
If the personal information that you previously provided has changed, please submit your new information to us. You may also request the opportunity to review the personal information that we maintain about you by sending us a written request at the postal or email address specified below.

We will provide you with such information, and amend or delete such information upon your request, to the extent we believe appropriate or otherwise required under applicable data protection and privacy laws. We also reserve the right to take reasonable steps to authenticate your identity before providing such access.
