Hyperlinks
This website may contain hyperlinks or "links," to
and from other Internet sites. These sites may have different
privacy practices from our website. Our Online Privacy Statement
applies solely to our site. Please review the online privacy
statements of any other Internet sites you may visit. These links

of any content contained on other websites.
Cookies and Web Beacons
A cookie is a small piece of information a website can store
on your computer. This small text file contains a unique identification
number that is transferred from a website to the hard drive of
your computer so that the site administrator may identify your
computer and passively track its activities on the Website.
This unique number identifies your Web browser to our computer
system whenever you visit our site. A cookie will not allow a
website to learn any personally identifiable information (such
as your real name and address) that you have not otherwise disclosed.
Cookies are currently used on most major websites and have become
an industry standard. Most web browser preferences can be adjusted
to alert you that a cookie will be sent to your hard drive, or
you can refuse to receive a cookie. While this Website does
not require you to use cookies, it is possible that certain services
may not function properly if you choose to refuse to receive
a cookie.
Clear GIFs or single-pixel GIFs, known as web beacons, are small
files that are placed on web pages. Web beacons work with cookies
and assist in gathering website statistics such as unique visitors
and the number of times individual pages are displayed.
This site uses two types of cookies. We use session cookies
to ensure better performance and a more enjoyable and consistent
user experience from your entry point into our site. Session
cookies are also used on the password-protected area of www.nmfn.com,
an area that can be accessed through this site. A session cookie
is a small text file that is sent to your browser when you access
the site and is then stored temporarily in memory. The session
cookie is available only during the course of the browser session;
the information is not sent to or stored on your computer's hard
drive. Closing your browser or logging off will invalidate the
session cookie.
In addition, this site uses machine cookies, also known as persistent
cookies. This site uses persistent cookies in connection with
gathering website statistics through the HitBox services discussed
below. This information is only collected in aggregate form.
No personal information is collected.
Aggregated Tracking Information
To enable us to continually improve on the content we offer
our users, as well as for systems administration purposes, we
collect aggregate information site-wide. This gives us an idea
of which parts of our site users are visiting. We do not link
IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means
a user's session will be tracked, but the user will be anonymous.
To assist us in this process, this site uses the HitBox services
provided by WebSideStory, Inc. In connection with the HitBox
services used by this site, WebSideStory uses cookies and Web
beacons to collect various non-personal information regarding
visitors' use of this site, including daily unique visitors,
page views, length of time of page views, page navigation paths,
time of day of visits, browser type used by visitors, the Internet
Service Provider used to connect to the Internet and this site,
and the type of operating system used by visitors. Again, this
information is only collected in aggregate form. No personal
information is collected. WebSideStory's privacy policy may be
viewed at http://www.websidestory.com/privacy.
Commitment to Confidentiality
Confidentiality is a top priority at Northwestern Mutual. We
are committed to maintaining the highest level of confidentiality
with all of the information we receive from our customers, including
the information received from this website.
This website does not contain or have access to information
provided to us as part of insurance underwriting, policy service
or claims.
Changes and Revisions
We reserve the right to amend this Statement from time to time.
Any material change to our online privacy practices will be reflected
in this Online Privacy Statement. We will indicate the date this
Statement was last updated.
