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.

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.
