Home>Website Privacy Policy
Introduction
Georgia Technologies Corporation has a strong commitment to
providing excellent service to all of our customers, including respecting
their concerns about privacy. We understand that visitors to our website may
have questions about whether and how this website collects and uses
information. Accordingly, we have prepared this statement to inform you of
the privacy principles that govern georgiatechnologies.com.
Browsing
Visitors who browse this website do so on an anonymous basis. We have not
configured this website to collect any information from your computer
without your input. This means that, unless you voluntarily and knowingly
provide us with information, we will not know your identity, your e-mail
address, or any other information identifiable to you.
Information
When we need to collect information from you, we will ask you to voluntarily
supply us with the information we need. For example, if you would like to
make a service appointment, we will ask you for information such as your
name, address, telephone number, e-mail and address to process your request.
We will use your e-mail address to send a confirmation and, if necessary,
might use the other information to contact you for help in processing the
service request. After the information reaches Georgia Technologies
Corporation, it is stored on a secure server that resides behind a firewall
that is designed to block access from outside the Company.
We may also ask you to fill out an online customer survey, to obtain your
suggestions or comments about your use of Georgia Technologies Corporation
services, or for similar purposes. Providing this information is voluntary.
Internet Protocol (IP) Address
An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your
computer every time you browse the Internet. When users request a page from
our site, our servers log the user's current IP address. We use IP addresses
to help diagnose problems. We do not link IP addresses to anything
personally identifiable. Thus, each user session is anonymous.
Georgia Technologies Corporation Use of Information
We treat the information you provide to us as confidential information; it
is, accordingly, subject to our company's security procedures and strict
corporate policies regarding protection and use of confidential information.
Because laws applicable to personal information vary by country, our
business operations may put in place additional measures that vary depending
on the applicable legal requirements. Information is generally processed and
stored in the United States, in which data protection laws are not as
comprehensive as in the European Union.
The survey and other such non-service request information is used only
for the purpose for which the information was collected and is not used for
direct marketing or shared with other companies. The personal information
you provide to us for making a service request is made available to the
applicable Company staff for the purpose of meeting your service request
needs. If you cancel your service request, the information is stored for
record-keeping purposes only. After completing your service request with
Georgia Technologies Corporation, the information you provide may be used
for direct marketing by Georgia Technologies Corporation, its subsidiaries
and/or entities. Georgia Technologies Corporation may use the services of a
third party mail house for the sole purpose of mailing materials.
Disclosure of Information and Opt-Out
Georgia Technologies Corporation will not sell, trade, rent or
release such information to entities outside of the Georgia Technologies
Corporation family of companies for their use without your approval and
giving you the opportunity to opt-out.

such action is necessary to investigate or protect against harmful
activities to Georgia Technologies Corporation employees, or property
