NMI Gateway Guide is an independent informational reference. We do not collect personal information, do not host login forms, do not process payments, and have no accounts to sign in to. This policy describes the limited data that a normal web visit produces — server logs, optional analytics, and third-party advertising cookies — and how to control them.
What we collect directly
We do not run user accounts, contact forms that ask for personal data beyond an optional email for editorial corrections, or any payment processing. The only data the site itself receives is what any web server receives on a request:
- Standard request logs — IP address, user agent, referring URL, and timestamp, retained for a short period for security and abuse prevention.
- Editorial-corrections email — if you write to the address shown on the contact page, we store the message contents and reply address for the duration needed to respond.
Third-party cookies (advertising and analytics)
This site is supported by display advertising. The ad network and any analytics provider set their own cookies in your browser to measure and target ads. We do not control those cookies directly — they are governed by the third party's own privacy policy. Common practical effects:
- Ads may be tailored to your interests based on prior browsing across other sites that use the same network.
- Aggregate visit counts and page-view metrics may be collected.
- No personally identifying information is shared by us with these networks; the cookies are set under the third party's own domain.
If you object, you can opt out of personalized advertising through standard industry tools:
- Your browser — most browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal and granular cookie controls in settings.
- Industry opt-outs — the Digital Advertising Alliance's YourAdChoices page, the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out, and the European IAB Transparency & Consent Framework provide centralized controls.
- Private/Incognito mode blocks most persistent tracking by design.
The /go/ redirect handler
When you click a link to the official NMI site (or USAePay), the click passes through a local redirect at /go/?to=.... That handler exists to clean the request: it returns a 302 response with a no-referrer policy and a noindex tag, so the destination receives no information about which page on this site you came from. It writes no cookies and stores no data on our side beyond the standard request log.
Children
The site is intended for business audiences (merchants, ISOs, software vendors). It is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.
Your rights — CCPA, GDPR, and similar
You may have rights under your local privacy law — to know what data we hold, request deletion, or opt out of certain processing. Because we do not maintain user accounts or stored profiles, requests typically amount to: (a) removing your message from our editorial-correspondence inbox if you sent one, or (b) blocking third-party advertising cookies through the controls above.
