Privacy Policy Information Collected

Demographic and profile data is collected at our site. Generally, this information is collected through "traffic data" and may entail the use of "Cookies", "IP addresses" or other numeric codes used to identify a computer.

A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. Greensboro EDA uses session ID cookies in some parts of its Site to track traffic. A session ID cookie simply terminates once the user closes or logs-off the browser. Greensboro EDA may also use persistent cookies. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user's hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions. If you wish not to receive persistent cookies, set your browser to refuse all cookies, or to alert you of their presence with the option of receiving them or not.

Submitting information via e-mail or an interactive form

If you decide to send us an electronic mail message (e-mail), the message will usually contain your return e-mail address. If you include personally-identifying information in your e-mail because you want us to address issues specific to your situation, we may use that information in responding to your request. Also, e-mail is not necessarily secure against interception. Please send only information necessary to help us process your request.

On some of our Web pages we offer interactive forms that let you voluntarily submit identifying information about you or your organization/business. This occurs, for example, when you are sending us information using our contact form. All submitted information is used only for the expressed purposes for which it is intended and will not be shared with any other organization for commercial purposes.

Security

Information collected by the Greensboro EDA Service is stored in secure operating environments that are not available to the public. All of our employees are dedicated to maintaining and upholding your privacy and security and are aware of our privacy and security policies. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
