NRCA Privacy Policy
The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) is committed to protecting the
privacy of our members and Web-site users. To maintain efficient service while respecting
the privacy of visitors to NRCA's Web site, NRCA has posted the following privacy
policy.
Collection and Use of Information
We will collect personally identifiable information you provide to us, including
but not limited to your name, employer's name, address, telephone and fax numbers,
and e-mail address. NRCA may use and store such information to notify you of official
NRCA business, provide a product or service you requested, secure your membership
status, evaluate member and prospective member needs and interests, and alert you
of NRCA news, activities, services and benefits. Personally identifiable information
will be collected only for the purposes of processing a credit card when ordering
a product; submitting registration information for an educational program; and completing
a membership application. Contact information from inquiries received by NRCA may
be shared with NRCA members to provide a service, satisfy a question or develop
a prospective business relationship. This information only will be collected when
an inquiry is sent through NRCA's Web site. From time to time, NRCA may rent, sell
or share lists that include member names and company addresses with a third party.
NRCA reserves the right to perform statistical analyses of user behavior and characteristics
to measure interest in and use of the various areas of its Web site and inform advertisers
of such information, as well as the number of users that have been exposed to or
clicked on their advertising banners. NRCA will provide only aggregated data from
these analyses to third parties.
Registration and Order Forms
To attend events, meetings, conferences and request products, you may be required
to fill out a registration or order form and provide personally identifiable information
that NRCA will use to process your registration or order. In addition, your name
and information may appear on registration or attendee lists distributed at NRCA
events, meetings and conferences to other attendees and third parties.
Data Security
Online registration and information such as credit card numbers will be secured
using a commercially accepted method of encryption. However, though we employ reasonable
security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information
sent over our Web site, please be aware that no method of electronic transmission
is completely infallible, and we cannot guarantee its absolute safety.

information used to provide smoother navigation throughout the Web site, such as
a saved password and allow NRCA to assess the effectiveness of our Web site. You
