PROTECTIVE GLAZING COUNCIL -
PRIVACY POLICY
1. Purpose
The Protective Glazing Council (“PGC”) is committed
to respecting and protecting your online privacy and recognizes
your need for appropriate protection and management of any
personally identifiable information you share with PGC while
using and interacting with this website. PGC has established
this Privacy Policy in order that you can understand the care
with which we attempt to treat your personal information and how
we intend to use it.
2. Registration
Most of PGC’s services do not require any form of
registration, allowing you to access and visit our site without
telling us who you are or submitting any other personal data.
However, some services may require registration, including
registering to attend a PGC symposium or educational seminar.
When you register with PGC, you will need to complete certain
fields and provide personally identifiable information. In these
situations, if you choose to withhold any of the required
information PGC requests in order to register, it may not be
possible to complete the online registration form.
3. Non-disclosure
PGC will keep your data in accordance with all applicable
legal reporting documentation retention requirements. It will
not sell, share, rent, or otherwise distribute your data to
non-members of PGC or to any other third parties. Your
registration information goes into a PGC database, and certain
of your registration data (but not your physical address or
email address) may, on limited occasions, be transferred to
third parties acting for or on behalf of PGC in conducting PGC
symposiums or seminars for which you have registered online and
to attendees at those events in the form of pre-registration
lists. These parties will not sell or disclose your information
to third parties except as may be required by law. When such a
disclosure of data to a third party occurs, we will endeavor to
ensure that the processing is performed in accordance with the
purposes and within the narrow limits under which the data were
originally collected.
4. Aggregated Anonymous Information
Whenever you visit our website, PGC automatically collects
and processes anonymous information about your visits, such as
some of the pages you visit, some of the searches you perform,
and the length of time you remain on the site. PGC uses your
anonymous information to help it improve the design and contents
of the site and to better your online experience. It does so by
compiling aggregated statistics about individuals visiting our
site, tracking demographic data for internal, market-research
purposes in order to make the site more useful to our visitors.
In doing this, we may install “cookies” to collect the
first-level domain name of the user and the date and time of
access. “Cookies” as used by PGC can not be used to discover the
identity of any individual user. A “cookie” is a small piece of
information sent to your browser and stored on your computer’s
hard drive. Cookies do not damage your computer. You can set
your browser to notify you when you receive a “cookie;” this
will enable you to decide if you want to accept it or not.
5. Email Addresses
From time to time, PGC will send to your email address
electronic newsletters, white-papers, symposium announcements,
press releases, and similar newsworthy information believed to
be of interest to the protective glazing industry and its
supporters. If you do not wish to receive email information from
us in the future, please contact us, and we will promptly delete
your email address from our files. We do not share email
addresses with PGC members or other organizations.
6. Policy Limited to this Website
This Privacy Policy applies only to this website. PGC
provides links to other websites that it believes may be of
interest to its visitors, including websites of PGC’s members in
good standing. While we believe these websites are of the
highest standard, because of the nature of the World Wide Web,
we can not assume responsibility for and do not guarantee that
the privacy policy or standard of those websites to which PGC
links will be comparable to this one. Accordingly, this Privacy
Policy is not intended to be applicable to any linked, non-PGC
site.
7. Updates
This Privacy Policy was last updated on August 9, 2006. PGC
constantly aims to improve the tools available to you to manage
the data you provide us. Please refer to this page from time to
time to review these and other new features.
