Personal Information.

You can access our Site and use many of our services without providing any personal information at all. In certain circumstances, including, without limitation, the "Contact Gencom" link, the Company may collect information that identifies you, such as your name, address, e-mail address, as well as other individually-identifiable information that you provide to us ("Personal Information").

The Personal Information that we collect from you may also come from the following sources:

  • Information we receive from you on applications, registrations, subscriptions or other forms (electronic or otherwise) including, but not limited to, your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address; and
  • Information we receive about you from other sources, such as your employer and other third parties.

Use of Personal Information.

The Company may use and disclose this information to contact you and send you information about our services, properties and products. In addition, to the extent that you request information, products or services from us, the Company may use and disclose this information to others so as to comply with your request and to our non-affiliated companies that perform brokerage or marketing services on our behalf to follow up with your request. The information you provide may also be used and disclosed by us for market research purposes, or for project planning. We may use the information you provide to inform you about our and other's services and products in which we believe you may be interested. We may aggregate your information with the information of others and use and disclose such statistical information for any purpose. We may use your information, including your e-mail address, to help diagnose problems with our server, to administer our Site, and to communicate with you, including, without limitation, to respond to e-mails from you. We may also share and transfer your information to another entity acquiring all or substantially all of our assets, or the assets of the division to which this Site relates.

Sometimes it is necessary to disclose Personal Information to non-affiliated third parties. We may share your Personal Information with non-affiliated companies that perform brokerage or marketing services on our behalf. In addition, we may disclose Personal Information in response to legal process, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena.

Traffic Data.

We use Traffic Data, which may include "cookies," "IP addresses" or other numeric codes used to identify a computer, to help us provide a better user experience by measuring which Site areas are of greatest interest. We may also use Traffic Data when you register on the Site or for services provided on our Site. In this situation, Traffic Data will provide useful information that enables our Site to remember you when you return. We can only read Traffic Data from our Site. If you choose to disable cookies in your browser, you can still access most of our Site. We may use or share Traffic Data in any manner that we deem appropriate or necessary.

Security Policy.

The importance of security for all Personal Information associated with you is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your Personal Information from your PC to our servers.

Any employee of the Company or of non-affiliated companies who violates our privacy and/or security policies is subject to disciplinary action, including possible termination.

While we make reasonable efforts to safeguard your Personal Information once we receive it, no transmission of data over the Internet or any other public network can be guaranteed 100% secure. As a result, any Personal Information you transmit to us is done at your own risk since we cannot ensure or warrant the security of such information, nor can we ensure or warrant the information we transmit to you from our Site.
