Helping you protect your privacy online
Most content on the Internet – from the latest political news to up-to-the-minute sports scores and stock quotes – is free to consumers. Why? Because of effective Internet advertising. What makes Internet advertising effective is the use of technologies that allow advertising networks, analytics firms, websites, and others to make inferences about consumer tastes and provide relevant content. Because of the seemingly complex nature of these technologies, many users have become concerned about their online privacy. Recognizing these concerns, the NAI–an association of advertising networks, data exchanges, and marketing analytics services providers–has made consumer education a top priority. As part of that commitment, we have developed this site to help you safeguard your online privacy.

User Information
All users who receive an ad served by NCOER.COM, ASVAB.US, APFT.NET, MilitarySearchEngine.com, FireFighter 911.net and The Combat Zone.org retain complete anonymity where NCOER.COM, ASVAB.US, APFT.NET, MilitarySearchEngine.com, FireFighter 911.net and The Combat Zone.org is concerned. As ads are delivered, NCOER.COM, ASVAB.US, APFT.NET, MilitarySearchEngine.com, FireFighter 911.net and The Combat Zone.org does not acquire or collect any personal information about you. Your name, address, phone number, and email address all remain your private properties. NCOER.COM, ASVAB.US, APFT.NET, MilitarySearchEngine.com, FireFighter 911.net and The Combat Zone.org does, however, collect information which is specific to how you use the Internet. NCOER.COM, ASVAB.US, APFT.NET, MilitarySearchEngine.com, FireFighter 911.net and The Combat Zone.org servers note non-personally identifying details such as, but not limited to, the server you are logged onto, the geographic location of the ISP you use, the type of browser you use, and your IP address. This information is obtained solely for the purpose of targeting ads and measuring a given ad’s effectiveness on behalf of NCOER.COM, ASVAB.US, APFT.NET, MilitarySearchEngine.com, FireFighter 911.net and The Combat Zone.org clients and customers.
There are instances where a user may provide specific personal information in response to an ad containing a survey, purchase agreement, or registration questionnaire. For such programs, NCOER.COM, ASVAB.US, APFT.NET, MilitarySearchEngine.com, FireFighter 911.net and The Combat Zone.org (or a third party working in conjunction with NCOER.COM, ASVAB.US, APFT.NET, MilitarySearchEngine.com, FireFighter 911.net and The Combat Zone.org and the advertiser) acquires this information on behalf of the advertiser client. This information is used by the client so the user can receive the goods or services requested. When requested, NCOER.COM, ASVAB.US, APFT.NET, MilitarySearchEngine.com, FireFighter 911.net and The Combat Zone.org may employ this information in a compiled format without identifying users specifically to provide to the advertiser client precise profiles of the types of individuals responding to the ads.
P3P
The Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) provides a way for Ad Networks and Websites to publish their privacy policies in a machine-readable syntax. An Ad Network or Website will deploy P3P in order to make its privacy practices more accessible to the site’s visitors. A visitor’s Web browser can download the machine-readable privacy statements, and compare the contents of those statements to the user’s preferences. This way, the user’s browser can automatically notify the user when they visit a site whose practices match the user’s preferences – or warn the user if the practices and preferences don’t match. NCOER.COM, ASVAB.US, APFT.NET, MilitarySearchEngine.com, FireFighter 911.net and The Combat Zone.org Media has incorporated this technology in their ad servers. Our syntax reflects our current privacy policy.
The Cookie Principle
NCOER.COM, ASVAB.US, APFT.NET, MilitarySearchEngine.com, FireFighter 911.net and The Combat Zone.org may use cookies to improve your web browsing experience. When you are first served a NCOER.COM, ASVAB.US, APFT.NET, MilitarySearchEngine.com, FireFighter 911.net and The Combat Zone.org ad, NCOER.COM, ASVAB.US, APFT.NET, MilitarySearchEngine.com, FireFighter 911.net and The Combat Zone.org may assign a unique random number to your computer browser – commonly known as a “cookie.” We do this to understand the way a user responds to the ads we deliver. For example, this number lets us keep track of how many times you view an ad we distribute. Likewise, the cookie can help make sure you do not see the same ad over and over – thus enhancing your online web viewing experience. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that use if you desire.
Third-Party Measurement Services
Often, advertisers will employ a third-party service provider other than NCOER.COM, ASVAB.US, APFT.NET, MilitarySearchEngine.com, FireFighter 911.net and The Combat Zone.org for serving the advertisements and for tracking the performance of an ad program. These companies may employ cookie and 1×1 pixel technology to measure and improve the effectiveness of ads for their client. These companies may collect and use anonymous information about your visits to our member websites and other websites. The information collected can include:
date/time of your visit,
the banner ad that was shown,

This information can also be used for online preference marketing (“profiling”) purposes.
In these instances, NCOER.COM, ASVAB.US, APFT.NET, MilitarySearchEngine.com, FireFighter 911.net and The Combat Zone.org has no control over the information collected by the third-party, and may not be held responsible for the actions of the third-party measurement service where collected information is concerned.
