WEBSITE PRIVACY NOTICE
We at General Dynamics Robotic Systems
(GDRS) respect your concerns about privacy and value
the relationship we have with you. This Privacy Notice
describes the types of personal information we collect
on www.GDRS.com, how we may use that information, and
with whom we may share it. Our Privacy Notice also describes
the measures we take to protect the security of the information.
In addition, we describe the choices you can make about
how we use the information you provide to us. We also
tell you how you can reach us to update your contact
information, remove your name from our mailing lists,
provide feedback, inquire about our company and its services,
or answer any questions you may have about our privacy
practices.
Information We Collect and How
We Use It
You may visit our website without giving
us any personal information. You may, however, choose
to provide personal information through the "Points
of Contact" portion of this site, as described below.
We also tell you how we may use the information.
Employment Opportunities
You can submit your resume and other information
online to apply for a job with GDRS and its affiliates.
We use the information you submit to evaluate your job
application and to contact you regarding possible employment
with GDRS.
Points of Contact
You may choose to contact us through our
website. If you email us comments or questions, we use
the information you provide to respond to your inquiries.
Aggregate and Non-Personal
Information
We collect certain aggregate and non-personal
information when you visit our website.
Aggregate and non-personal information
does not relate to a single, identifiable visitor. It
tells us such things as how many users visited our site
and the pages accessed. By collecting this information,
we learn how to best tailor our website to our visitors.
We collect this information through cookies and log files,
as explained below.
Cookies and Log Files
Like many companies, we use cookies and
log files on our website. Cookies are small text files
that websites often store on the computer hard drives
of visitors to their sites. A cookie contains a unique
code, which is used to recognize your computer when a
user of your computer returns to a website that was visited
previously. Log files are small text files that websites
automatically create when a user visits a site. We use
cookies and log files to enhance the online experience
of our visitors and to better understand how our site
is used. Cookies and log files may tell us, for example,
whether you have visited our site before or whether you
are a new visitor. The service provider we have retained
to help us conduct recruitment-related activities uses
cookies to help process online job applications. The "help" portion
of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to
stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you
receive a new cookie, and how to disable existing cookies.
Remember, though, without cookies, you may not be able
to take full advantage of all website features, such
as submitting a resume online to pursue employment opportunities
with GDRS.
Information We Share
We do not sell, rent, trade or otherwise
disclose personal information about our website visitors,
except as described here. We may share the information
you provide with companies that are affiliated with GDRS.
We also share information provided by our website visitors
with service providers we have retained to perform services
on our behalf (for example, to assist with recruiting
activities). In addition, we may share information about
you with the manufacturers or providers of the products
or services you purchase through this website. These
entities may contact you about their products or services.
We are required to provide your information to the U.S.
Government if you place your order through a government-sponsored
contract vehicle. We may engage in joint marketing activities
with strategic partners and may share personal information
with them. We reserve the right to transfer any information
we have about you in the event we sell or transfer all
or a portion of our business or assets. Should such a
sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts
to try to ensure that the transferee uses personal information
you have provided through this Website in a manner that
is consistent with this Privacy Notice.
Links to Other Websites
We provide links to other websites for
your convenience and information. These sites may operate
independently from www.GDRS.com and may not be under
our control. These sites may have their own privacy notices
in place, which we strongly suggest you review if you
visit any linked websites. The entities that operate
these sites are responsible for the content of their
sites, any products or services they may offer through
their sites, or any other use of their sites.
Security
We maintain administrative, technical,
and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized
disclosure, use, alteration, or destruction of the personal
information in our possession. We provide security controls
to protect the information against foreseeable hazards.
Please note, however, that perfect security does not
exist on the Internet.
Updates to this Privacy Notice
We may change or update portions of this
Privacy Notice at any time and without prior notice to
you. Please check back from time to time so you are aware
of any changes or updates to the Notice. We will indicate
above the effective date of the Notice.

GDRS takes no responsibility and assumes no liability

Disclaimers
Your use of this site is at your own risk.
The site is provided on an "as is" and "as
available" basis. We reserve the right to restrict
or terminate your access to the site or any feature or
any part thereof at any time. GDRS expressly disclaims
all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied,
including but not limited to the implied warranties of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose
and any warranties that materials on the site are non-infringing;
that access to the site will be uninterrupted or error-free;
that the site will be secure; that the site or the server
that makes the site available will be virus-free; or
that information on the site will be complete, accurate
or timely. If you download any materials from this site,
you do so at your own discretion and risk. You will be
solely responsible for any damage to your computer system
or loss of data that results from the download of any
such materials. No advice or information, whether oral
or written, obtained by you from GDRS or through or from
the site shall create any warranty of any kind. GDRS
does not make any warranties or representations regarding
the use of the materials on this site in terms of their
completeness, correctness, accuracy, adequacy, usefulness,
timeliness, reliability or otherwise.
In certain states, the law may not permit
the disclaimer of warranties, so the above disclaimer
may not apply to you.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted under applicable
law, you understand and agree that neither GDRS nor any
of its affiliates, subsidiaries or third party content
providers shall be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental,
special, exemplary, consequential, punitive or any other
damages relating to or resulting from your use or inability
to use this site or any other site you access through
a link from this site or from any actions we take or
fail to take as a result of electronic mail messages
you send us. These include damages for errors, omissions,
interruptions, defects, delays, computer viruses, your
loss of profits, loss of data, unauthorized access to
or alteration of your transmissions or data, and other
tangible and intangible losses. This limitation applies
regardless of whether the damages are claimed under the
terms of a contract, as the result of negligence or otherwise
arise out of or in connection with the use, inability
to use, or performance of the information, services,
products or materials available from this site, and even
if we or our representatives have been negligent or have
been advised of the possibility of such damages. Because
some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long
an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation
of liability for consequential or incidental damages,
the above limitation may not apply to you.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless GDRS and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and
their officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents,
licensors and suppliers, from and against all losses,
liabilities, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and court costs, arising or resulting
from any violation of these Terms and Conditions (including
but not limited to negligent or wrongful conduct), by
you or any other person accessing the site. If you cause
a technical disruption of the site or the systems transmitting
the site to you or others, you agree to be responsible
for any and all losses, liabilities, expenses, damages
and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court
costs, arising or resulting from that disruption.
