collected via cookies or other analysis technologies. NIC may contract with
third party service providers and suppliers to provide these services. These
suppliers act on NIC's behalf and are bound to the NIC Privacy Policy contractually
to keep confidential the information received on behalf of NIC. They agree
with NIC that they may not use any NIC data for any purpose other than to
carry out the services they are performing for NIC.
