Whether used now or implemented in the future, Blue Ridge reserves the right to utilize a standard technology called "cookies" to collect information about how our site is used. Cookies are designed to help a web site operator determine that a particular user had visited the site previously and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing the site. Cookies are small strings of text that web sites can send to your browser. Cookies cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive or obtain your e-mail address. If you are simply browsing this website, a cookie may be used to identify your browser as one that has visited the site before. We may also make use of memory-based cookies in support of authenticating the user of web applications used by Blue Ridge either now or in the future. We may use cookies so that we can provide personalized information based on preferences you have indicated while using the site. Although you have the ability to modify your browser to either accept all cookies, notify you when a cookie is sent, or reject all cookies, it may not be possible to use or access certain portions of this website that may now, or in the future, require registration if you reject cookies.
This website is not designed to obtain or solicit personal, nonpublic information from you. The term “personal, nonpublic information” may include such information as (1) Social security or employer taxpayer identification numbers, (2) Drivers license, State identification card, or passport numbers, (3) Checking account numbers, (4) Savings account numbers, (5) Credit card numbers, (6) Debit card numbers, (7) Personal Identification (PIN) Codes, (8) Electronic identification numbers, electronic mail names or addresses, Internet account numbers, or Internet identification names, (9) Digital signatures, (10) Any other numbers or information that can be used to access a person's financial resources, (11) Biometric data, (12) Fingerprints, (13) Passwords, or (14) Parent's legal surname prior to marriage.
However, should you ever submit personal, nonpublic information to us, Blue Ridge Companies exercises great care to protect such information. This includes, among other things, using industry standard techniques such as firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection and site monitoring. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Though Blue Ridge Companies will strive to protect any personal, nonpublic information that you transmit to us, we cannot ensure or otherwise guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from us. This is especially true for information you transmit to us via e-mail or via web pages that do not employ a Secure Sockets Layer (“SSL”); a web page employing a SSL will contain the prefix “https”, and another other web page using the standard “http” prefix should be considered unsecured. We have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us. However, once we receive your transmission, we make our best efforts to ensure its security on our servers. Should we receive any personal, nonpublic information from you, Blue Ridge Properties will make every effort to ensure that such information will be kept confidential. Retention and disposal of such information shall be done in accordance with relevant sections of 16 CFR Part 682 and N.C. Gen. Stat. § 75-64 et seq.
