Cookies
- We, or a vendor that places advertising on our websites, may
use "cookies" to collect information about your visit
to our website and to manage information concerning your preferences.
A "cookie" is a small computer code added to a file
on your computer as a record of its visit. It does not collect
or provide your name or any other personal information about
you. It can, however, be used by the website that placed it
to note information about your visit, such as your type of web
browser, operating system and Internet Protocol ("IP")
address, to better tailor the site for you. It can also be used
to recognize you when you log in as a registered user or as
a repeat visitor returning to our website. This allows us to
tailor our site by remembering you and any options you select.
We may share non-personal information obtained from the varying
kinds of cookies and web beacons (see below) with vendors, advertisers
and others. You can control what cookies are accepted by your
computer through the settings on your web browser or by deleting
them from your files. Doing so, however, may limit the personalization
available to you.
Third-Party Cookies and Web Beacons - These forms of computer
code are sometimes placed by advertisers or others with connection
to a webpage and may be read by the advertisement's provider.
They may use a form of code called a "web beacon"
or "clear GIF." These are usually contained in a transparent
image on a page or in an image on an email message and serve
as a way to gather information about your visit, such as your
Internet Protocol Address and information or statistics about
your visit. As with cookies, you can use your browser settings
to control web beacons.
Advertisers
and Other Websites - We do not control the privacy policies
of advertisers or of websites you may link to from our websites
or by using our services. You should review their websites for
questions about their Internet security and privacy.
2. Use
and Sharing
Use Policy
- We consider any personally identifiable information we receive
about you to be confidential, and it is our policy to use it
only in providing our products and our services - from sales
and service, to operations, administration, advertising, marketing,
support, communications with you, billing, collection, and in
other ways related to our business. We may also use such information
in dealing with fraud and unauthorized use of our website. North
Texas Avionics, may associate personal account information with
data from third parties about you or similar persons to better
predict your product and service preferences for use in advertising
transactions and to market our services to you.

information in its regular business records as long as someone
is a customer or until no longer needed for business or legal

below.

partners, any personally identifiable information about our
customers without their prior written or electronic consent.
We do not sell or provide your personal information without

faith belief that it is necessary to: (1) comply with the law
or legal process served on us; (2) protect and defend our rights
or property or those of others; (3) respond to fraud, abuse

Internet Communications - We retain email messages and the content
of other online communications and provide such communications
if we are legally required to do so.
3. Law
Enforcement
Legal
Requirements - We may from time to time receive legal requests
for customer information from government and law enforcement
personnel. We may also receive discovery requests in civil litigation.
In all such cases, our policy is to cooperate as required by
law, but to provide only such information as the law requires.
This information is generally sought by subpoena served on North
Texas Avionics. Under current law, many criminal subpoenas require
that we not disclose or notify you of the request. Due to this
fact, we cannot assume any duty to notify you of receipt of
any legal requests.
Internet
Information - Current law provides that personal account
and other information concerning use of Internet communications
on our website may be subpoenaed by governmental entities. In
such cases, you may not be entitled to notice of such a request.
The content of Internet communications may not generally be
sought through use of a subpoena. The law does permit us to
disclose to law enforcement, voluntarily and without prior notice,
customer information, including the contents of communications,
if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate
danger of death or serious physical injury requires such disclosure
without delay.
Telephone
Information - Current law requires law enforcement to obtain
a court order or warrant for a telephone wiretap or to use a
pen register or trap and trace device to capture dialing information.
The Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") and
Congress are currently considering the extent to which such
rules will apply to voice over Internet services.
4. Internet
Security
Personal
Information - We use Secure Socket Layer encryption technology
when collecting certain personal information through our websites.
You can identify the use of such protection by looking for "https"
in the Internet URL or page address, or a closed lock symbol
if you are using Internet Explorer. We protect personally identifiable
information found in our most sensitive databases in encrypted
formats within controlled and secure environments with restricted
access. While we attempt to ensure the integrity and security
of our network and computer systems, we cannot guarantee that
our security measures will prevent unauthorized access.
Access
by Others - It is possible for use of the Internet to be
accessed or intercepted by third parties. Moreover, since we
cannot control Web sites or Internet services operated by third
parties, we recommend that you review the terms of service and
privacy policies of those Web sites and services.

permits companies like North Texas Avionics, to use email to
send transactional or relationship messages, such as in confirming

of marketing messages we may send by notifying us in response
