PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY NOTICE ("NOTICE") CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS WEBSITE ("SITE"). BY USING THE SITE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS NOTICE, AS SUPPLEMENTED OR MODIFIED BY GECAS FROM TIME TO TIME AS DISCUSSED BELOW.

USING THE GECAS SITE

GE Commercial Aviation Services ("Operator" or "GECAS"), is the commercial operator of this Site, although software, hosting and other functions and content may be provided by Operator's service providers ("Service Providers"), other companies affiliated with Operator ("Affiliates"), or merely in a business relationship with Operator ("Business Partners"). Operator's Service Providers, Affiliates and Business Partners are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Notice. This Site is not directed to or intended for individuals under 18 years of age.

This Notice describes the type of information Operator and its Affiliates, Business Partners and Service Providers collect from visitors to the Site, what we do with that information, and how visitors can update and control the use of information provided on the Site. This Notice applies solely to our online data collection from this site; it does not describe information collection policies for other data we collect, including data collected on other sites, such as separate sites operated by our Business Partners that we do not control.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ABIDE BY THIS NOTICE OR ANY FUTURE TERMS, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SITE OR SUBMIT YOUR INFORMATION THROUGH IT.

At GECAS.com, protecting your privacy is very important to us. Our goal is to treat the personal information you furnish us with the utmost respect, and in accordance with this Notice. This Notice is currently applicable only to our United States customers and visitors when they interact with our Site using an Internet Web browser [note that this intentionally excludes e-mail contact or contact through other software]. If you are based outside the United States, please visit us at one of our regional websites linked through the home page of GE Commercial Finance, at www.gecommercialfinance.com. . Please read on for details about our practices for handling and securing your personal information.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT? HOW DO WE USE IT?

Anonymous Browsing/Cookies

When you visit our Site, we may store certain information on your computer. This information may be in the form of a small text file called a “cookie” and can help us improve your experience with our Site in many ways. For example, cookies allow us to tailor our Site to better match your interests and preferences. The information is used by us and our Business Partners to measure the number of visits, average time spent, pages viewed, and other statistics about visitors to our Site in general. We use this data to monitor site performance and to make the site easier and more convenient to use. None of this information can be used by us to identify you.

If you decide to register online or apply for additional information, products, or services from us, we may collect additional information to provide tailored offerings or content to you or to deliver such products and services. In this case, we use cookies to allow us to recognize you on subsequent visits and make your online experience and our provision of products and services more convenient.

Cookies cannot be used to get data from your hard drive, get your e-mail address or personally identifiable information about you. You may set your Internet browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to prevent cookies from being sent. Please note, however, that by not accepting cookies, you will limit the functionality we can provide you when you visit our site and may prevent you from accessing products and services we offer.

For Netscape users, Netscape Navigator Version 4.0 began giving users the ability to control cookies. Newer versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer have a similar capability. Refer to these companies' Web sites for additional information.

Some of our Business Partners use cookies on our Site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies once we have given permission for them to set cookies for advertising. This Notice covers the use of cookies by GECAS only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Personal Information Collection

There are times when we may ask you for information about yourself to assist us in meeting your various needs, including:

· Providing you with products or services you have requested
· Servicing your account
· Improving our services
· Developing and/or informing you of additional products or services that may be of interest

In these cases, your browsing will no longer be anonymous to us. To provide these services, we may need to ask you directly to provide, among other things, your name, physical address, zip code, e-mail address, and phone number. Also, you may elect to apply online for one of our products or services, which may require us to gather additional information to determine your eligibility for such products or services.

Please note that we do not knowingly solicit information from children under 18 years of age and we do not knowingly market our products or services to such children. As a result, children under 18 years of age should not use this Site.

SHARING OF INFORMATION AND CONSUMER CHOICE

When you provide information to us, we may share your information with our Affiliates and third parties for the purpose of fulfilling your requests, as well as offering you products and services that may be of interest to you. You hereby acknowledge and provide your consent to the Operator to transfer and store your personal data across national boundaries for purposes described in this Notice. We also may provide your information to third parties in response to a request by a law enforcement authority, or when required or permitted by law or legal process, including a court order or subpoena. If you submit information to us during your visit to GECAS.com, you can prevent disclosure of this information to unaffiliated third parties (except as necessary to fulfill your requests, or as described in the preceding sentence) by e-mailing us at webmaster@gecas.com (use the subject line "DISCLOSURE OPT-OUT" and include your name, physical address, and e-mail address) or by calling 1-877-217-9414, if you so choose.

We may also aggregate statistics that we gather about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and services and provide these statistics to third party partners or suppliers in aggregate form; however, when we do, these statistics will not contain any personally identifiable information. Notwithstanding these consumer choice procedures, in the event that all or part of GECAS or all or part of its assets are acquired by, merged with, sold to, or otherwise disposed of to one or more third parties (including, without limitation, in the event of bankruptcy), your personally identifiable information may be among the items so transferred or disposed.

E-MAIL COMMUNICATION AND ONLINE SURVEYS

Occasionally, we will send you e-mail communications with information, which may be useful to you, including information about our products and services or about offerings from our Affiliates or third parties. When you first provide us with your e-mail address, you will be given the option of not receiving any such e-mail or other marketing contacts if you choose. We will also include instructions in our e-mail messages on how to unsubscribe if you later decide you do not want to receive any future e-mails or other marketing contacts from us or other third parties.

At times, we conduct online surveys to better understand the needs, profiles, and experience of our visitors. You will be given the option of not participating in such surveys.

HOW IS YOUR INFORMATION SECURED AND PROTECTED?

At GECAS.com, our goal is to protect your personal information submitted to us through this Site. E-mails you send us are not necessarily secure when they are transmitted to us. If your communication is very sensitive or includes highly confidential information, you may want to send it by regular mail instead. We instruct our employees with access to your information that it is to be used only in adherence with the principles set forth in this Notice and the laws applicable to our business. Employees who misuse customer information are subject to disciplinary action.

While we strive to protect your personal or company information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of the information you transmit to us, and if you choose to use our Site, you do so at your own risk.
