C. Registration

You will set up an account in order to join and/or participate in a community. When you set up a profile with any Community, we treat registration information according to our Privacy Policy. Your name and contact information will be made available to your Community Creator and its assigned Community Manager(s). You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password.

D. Privacy

Our privacy practices are set out in our Privacy Policy, which is part of this Agreement. By joining a Nas Community, you are sharing personally identifiable information with your Community Creator, Community Manager(s), other Members, and us.

Your Content, including User Generated Content, does not include Your Data (defined below).
