NBHA Privacy Policy

The Housing Authority of the Township of North Bergen wants to protect any information you give us, just as the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Freedom of Information Act require.

When you send us e-mail asking us a question, making a comment, or looking for information, we won't share your e-mail address with anyone outside the Housing Authority of the Township of North Bergen.

We'll only use your e-mail address to respond to your requests.

If you sign up for one of our (e-)mailing lists, we'll only send you the kinds of information you've requested; and we won't share your name or e-mail address with anyone outside of the Housing Authority of the Township of North Bergen.

If you use our feature "e-mail a friend," we will use your e-mail address only to let your friend know who sent the web address, so he/she can reply to you. We will not maintain your address or share it with anyone else.

The Housing Authority of the Township of North Bergen web site makes use of a technology known as "cookies." Cookies are small amounts of text which our web site stores on your computer. Cookies let us do a couple of things. First, since we'll recognize your computer (not you, personally) when you come to our site, we could let you enter discussion rooms without signing in each time or offer you direct links to the parts of our web site you like to visit. Second, cookies let us track the pages that each of our visitors use, so we'll know which sections are most (and least!) popular. That helps us make the web site better.

We will never share or sell information about you or about what pages you visited.

If you don't want us to put a "cookie" on your computer, that's fine. Just follow these instructions. You will still be able to use the entire website.

If you don't want us to set cookies on your computer, just follow these steps (steps shown for both Netscape and Internet Explorer).
