What Information Does NCSEA Collect?
NCSEA collects data to better serve our members and the engineering profession. It is our policy to
collect and store only personal information that our members and visitors knowingly provide.
Anonymous Information from General Users. NCSEA does not collect personal information from users
browsing our web site. Users to the public areas of NCSEA’s web site browse anonymously. NCSEA does

Information from NCSEA Members, Conference Registrants, and Other Customers.
There are a number of areas in the NCSEA Member Log In area of the web site where we ask for and collect information
about you, including personally identifiable information. Where we do, it is in order to serve you better,
or is necessary to accomplish the service you are requesting. Examples include membership information
(which may include name, address, email, telephone number and educational and professional
experience information), conference and seminar registrations, security identifiers, shipping
information, and product purchase information stored in online shopping carts.
Membership information in the NCSEA database is used to generate NCSEA mailing lists. This includes
lists provided to NCSEA Member Organizations. The mailing list may be used to inform you about NCSEA
services, products, conferences, meetings and events.
Third Party Disclosure.
NCSEA does not sell or rent email addresses to anyone outside of NCSEA and its

dues, the NCSEA mailing list, in part or as a whole, is released to other engineering and carefully
selected third party organizations to provide you with information on technical products and services
related to your profession, or information that we otherwise believe is useful to our members. You may
instruct us not to share information about you in the NCSEA mailing list with third parties by indicating
this preference in your communication preferences in your online record, or by notifying us at
ncsea@NCSEA.com, or by calling us at 312.649.4600.
