PRIVACY POLICY

Protecting your privacy is important to Gulf Coast Avionics. We strive to keep your personal information confidential. By ensuring that you are aware of and understand our Privacy Policy, we can provide you with better service. Please take a moment to read the following policy to learn how we handle your personal information.

WHY WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

Gulf Coast Avionics collects and uses your personal information to give you superior customer service, to provide you with convenient access to our products and services, and to make a wider range available to you. In addition, we use your personal information to keep you up to date on the latest product announcements, software updates, special offers, and other information we think you’d like to hear about.

HOW WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

We collect information about you in several ways. For example, we might ask for your contact information when you correspond with us, call us to make a purchase or request service, register to attend a seminar, or participate in an online survey. In addition, when you make an online purchase at Gulf Coast Avionics or ask to be included in an email mailing list, we collect and store the information you provide in a secure database.

HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Gulf Coast Avionics safeguards the security of the data you send us with physical, electronic, and managerial procedures. We urge you to take every precaution to protect your personal data when you are on the Internet. Change your passwords often, use a combination of letters and numbers, and make sure you use a secure browser.

The Gulf Coast Avionics Shopping Cart uses industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is required. To make purchases, you must use an SSL-enabled browser such as Firefox or Internet Explorer. This protects the confidentiality of your personal and credit card information while it is transmitted over the Internet.

COLLECTING OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION

When you browse Gulf Coast Avionics' website, you are able to do so anonymously. Generally, we don’t collect personal information when you browse — not even your email address. Your browser, however, does automatically tell us the type of computer and operating system you are using.

Like many websites, the Gulf Coast Avionics website uses “cookie” technology. When you first connect to our site, the cookie identifies your browser with a unique, random number. The cookies we use do not reveal any personal information about you, except perhaps your first name so we can welcome you on your next visit. Cookies help us understand which parts of our websites are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how long they spend there. We use cookies to study traffic patterns on our site so we can make the site even better.

In some of our email to you, we use a “click-through URL.” When you click one of these URLs, you pass through our web server before arriving at the website that is your destination. We track click-throughs to help us determine your interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications.

OUR COMPANYWIDE COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY

To make sure your personal information remains confidential, we communicate these privacy guidelines to our employees.

Gulf Coast Avionics' website contains links to other sites. We do not share your personal information with those websites and are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of those companies.

The Gulf Coast Avionics Privacy Policy is subject to change at any time. We encourage you to review the privacy policy regularly for any changes.
