What Information Do We Collect?

Norwest Capital collects both Personal Information and Non-Personal Information when you interact with us via our Websites.  Personal Information is information that is associated with your personal identity, such as your name, street address, telephone number, e-mail address, fax number or contact preferences.

Our only means of collecting Personal Information is through your submission of such Personal Information to us. For instance, on the Website, you might submit Personal Information to us in the course of contacting us at info@nmp.com or using our Investor Portal.

Non-Personal Information is data about usage and service operation that is not associated with your specific personal identity. Non-Personal Information we collect may include the pages you visit on the Websites, the length of time you spend on those pages, the type of browser you use or your IP address.  Because Non-Personal Information is amassed technologically without user intervention, we are able to collect Non-Personal Information with regard to every visitor to the Websites.
