Privacy Policy
This notice provides Southeastern Technical’s (the Company) privacy policy regarding the nature, purpose, use, and sharing of any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) collected via this website. Our privacy policy explains our information practices when you provide PII to us, whether collected online or offline, or when you visit us online to browse, obtain information, or conduct a transaction. PII may include: your name, email, mailing and/or home address, phone numbers, or other information that identifies you personally. We do not require you to register or provide personal information to visit our website. The PII you provide on the Company’s website will be used only for its intended purpose.
Personally Identifiable Information
As a general rule, the Company does not collect PII about you when you visit our website, unless you choose to provide such information to us. Submitting PII through our website is voluntary. By doing so, you are giving the Company your permission to use the information for the stated purpose. However, not providing certain information may result in the Company’s inability to provide you with the service you desire.
If you choose to provide us with PII on a Company website, through such methods as completing a web form or sending us an email, we will use that information to provide you the information or service you have requested, respond to your message, and/or send you marketing emails related to the information you submitted or how you interacted with the site. The information we may receive from you varies based on what you do when visiting our site.
Generally, the information requested by the Company will be used to respond to your inquiry, provide you with the service you request, and/or send you marketing emails related to your interests. When this information is requested, the reasons for collecting it, a description of the Company’s intended use of the information, how to grant consent to use mandatorily provided information, and how to grant consent for other than statutorily mandated uses will be fully described in a separate customized “Privacy Notice.” This customized Privacy Notice will either appear on the web page collecting the information or be accessible through a hyperlink (link) prominently displayed immediately above or below the information request.
Many of our programs and websites allow you to send us an email. We will use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry. We will only send you general information via email. You should be reminded that email may not necessarily be secure against interception. Therefore, we suggest that you do not send sensitive personal data to us via email.
Electronic mail messages you send us will be preserved and maintained for varying periods of time. Electronic messages are deleted when no longer needed.
Automatically Collected Information
We collect and temporarily store certain information about your visit for use in site management and security purposes only. We collect and analyze this information because it helps us to better design our website to suit your needs. We may also automatically collect information about the web content you view in the event of a known security or virus threat. This information includes:
- The Internet domain from which you access our website (for example, “xcompany.com” if you use a private Internet access account, or “yourschool.edu” if you connect from an educational domain)
- The Internet Protocol (IP) address (a unique number for each computer connected to the Internet) from which you access our website
- The type of browser (e.g., Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome) used to access our site
- The operating system (e.g., Windows, Mac OS, Unix) used to access our site
- The date and time you access our site
- The Universal Resource Locators (URLs), or addresses, of the pages you visit
- Your username, if it was used to log in to the website
- If you visited this website from another website, the URL of the forwarding site
We may share the above information with our employees or representatives with a “need-to-know” in the performance of their official duties, or other named representatives as needed to quickly process your request or transaction. This information is only used to help us make our site more useful for you. Raw data logs are retained temporarily as required for security and site management purposes only.
Third-Party Websites and Applications
The Company uses social media websites and other kinds of third-party websites. Social media websites are used to publicize Company events, and engage with members of the public. The Company also uses web measurement and customization technologies to measure the number of visitors to our websites and their various sections and to help make our websites more useful to visitors. The Company does not use third-party websites to solicit and collect PII from individuals. Any PII passively collected (i.e., not solicited) by the third-party websites will not be transmitted or stored by the Company; no PII will be disclosed, sold or transferred to any other entity outside the Company, unless required for law enforcement purposes or by statute.
Information Collected for Tracking and Customization (Cookies)
A cookie is a small file that a website transfers to your computer to allow it to remember specific information about your session while you are connected. Your computer will only share the information in the cookie with the website that provided it, and no other website can request it. There are two types of cookies:
- Session: Session cookies last only as long as your web browser is open. Once you close your browser, the cookie is deleted. Websites may use session cookies for technical purposes such as to enable better navigation through the site, or to allow you to customize your preferences for interacting with the site.
- Persistent: Persistent cookies are saved on a user’s hard drive in order to determine which users are new to the site or are returning, and for repeat visitors, to block recurring invitations to take the ForeSee satisfaction survey.
If you do not wish to have session or persistent cookies stored on your machine, you can turn cookies off in your browser. You will still have access to all information and resources at the Company website. However, turning off cookies may affect the functioning of the Company website. Be aware that disabling cookies in your browser will affect cookie usage at all other websites you visit as well.
Security
The Company takes the security of all PII very seriously. We take precautions to maintain the security, confidentiality, and integrity of the information we collect at this site. Such measures include access controls designed to limit access to the information to the extent necessary to accomplish our mission. We also employ various security technologies to protect the information stored on our systems. We routinely test our security measures to ensure that they remain operational and effective.
We take the following steps to secure the information we collect:
- Employ internal access controls to ensure that only personnel who have access to your information are those with a need to do so to perform their official duties.
- Train appropriate personnel on our privacy and security policies and compliance requirements.
- Secure the areas where we retain paper copies of the information we collect online.
- Perform regular backups of the information we collect online to ensure against loss.
-
Use technical controls to secure the information we collect online including, but not limited to:
- Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
- Encryption
- Firewalls
- Password protections
- Periodically test our security procedures to ensure personnel and technical compliance.
- Employ external access safeguards to identify and prevent unauthorized access by outsiders that attempt to “hack” into, or cause harm to, the information contained in our systems.
We hold our contractors and other third-party providers to the same high standards that we use to ensure the security, confidentiality, and integrity of personal information they may have access to in the course of their work completed on behalf of the Company.
