The North Carolina Chapter Society of Quality Assurance (NCCSQA) is committed to protecting
the privacy of all members and guests who visit the NCCSQA website. This policy

Collection of Information
When you browse NCCSQA’s website as a guest, you are anonymous. NCCSQA
does not collect personal information about any person that is not
provided voluntarily. We track anonymous information, such as which
pages were visited and for how long, on our server. We use this
information solely to learn more about trends on the website, such
as which web pages users visit most and how quickly information is
found.
If you apply for membership, register for an event or request any other
product or service, NCCSQA collects information from you such as your
name, title, company, address, phone, fax and email address. This
information is collected only if you give it voluntarily. Information
provided to NCCSQA will be used internally in order to process your specific
request and will not be sold or shared with outside parties. Your
information may be used to send you NCCSQA publications, information
relating to upcoming NCCSQA activities or important membership announcements.
In addition, NCCSQA makes members’ contact information available to
other members through the members-only portion of the website. This
information can only be accessed with a legitimate NCCSQA username and
password; for this reason, we strongly urge you limit unauthorized
access to your NCCSQA username and password. You may edit your contact
information at any time through the members-only portion of the website
or by calling or emailing NCCSQA at SQA Headquarters at +1 434.297.4772 or chapters@sqa.org.
Disclosure of Information
NCCSQA may occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services
on our behalf, such as bulk mailing or publication printing. We
provide those companies only with the information they need to complete
to service they have been contracted to perform, and they are prohibited
from using the information provided for any other purpose.
NCCSQA discloses your information to its affiliate, SQA, in order to provide member and/or event services. NCCSQA may disclose your information if we are required to do so by
law or if such disclosure is necessary to: comply with a legal order;
defend NCCSQA, SQA or their members, employees, affiliates or partners; or protect the
personal safety of NCCSQA/SQA members employees, affiliates, partners, members or
site users.
Credit Card Information
You may choose to provide NCCSQA with credit card information to pay
for membership dues, event fees or any other product or service.
We will never voluntarily disclose your credit card information to
any third-party organization or person who is not employed by NCCSQA
to process your payment.
We urge members and all other end users not to send credit card information
via e-mail, instant messaging or social media, because these methods
are not secure and could cause the data to be compromised.
Cookies
Cookies are commonly used by websites in order to make accessing that
website faster and more efficient. Many organizations use cookies
to track your shopping cart, for example, so that you can purchase
several items or services at one time instead of having to purchase
each item at the time you select it. NCCSQA uses cookies to monitor
statistics regarding your visit to the website (such as how long
you visited, what web pages you visited on our site, etc.) and to
hold items in your shopping cart for you. We use “session-only”
cookies, which are deleted from your computer’s memory when you close
your browser window. You can set your internet browser to not accept
cookies, or to ask you before accepting certain types of cookies,
but this may keep you from having access to all of the benefits of
the NCCSQA website. Using cookies in this manner is standard across
the majority of all websites.

NCCSQA has taken measures to protect the loss, misuse and alteration
of information on this website. We have the technology in place
to provide a secure server for transmission of data to and from our
website. All information (including your address and credit card
information) is encrypted when sent through our secure server so
that no other party can access it.
