Our
Privacy Policy was developed as an extension of our commitment
to combine the highest-quality products and services with the highest
level of integrity in dealing with our clients and partners. The
Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect,
use and safeguard the personal information you provide to us and
to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site
and our products and services. This statement will be continuously
assessed against new technologies, business practices and our customers'
needs.
What
Information Do We Collect?
When
you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types of information:
personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected
on an individual basis and Web site use information collected on
an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web site.
1. Personal Information
You Choose to Provide
Credit Card Information
If you choose to purchase products
or services from us or our partners, you may need to give personal
information and authorization to obtain information from various credit
agencies. For example, you may need to provide the following information:
Name
Mailing address
E-mail address
Credit card number; expiration date
Business phone number
Other personal information (i.e. mother’s
maiden name)
E-mail Information
In addition to providing
the foregoing information to our partners, if you choose to correspond
further with us through email, we may retain the content of your
email messages together with your email address and our responses.
We provide the same protections for these electronic communications
that we employ in the maintenance of information received by mail
and telephone.
2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard
technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What
Are Cookies?") and Web server logs to collect information about
how our Web site is used. Information gathered through cookies and
Web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages
viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites visited just
before and just after our Web site. This information is collected
on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with
you as an individual. This information is used to help us understand
use of our site and improve it as appropriate.
How Do We Use the Information
That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use
personal information for purposes of administering our business activities,
providing customer service, making available other products and services
to our customers and prospective customers and, of course, mailing
our monthly newsletter – Promoting Excellence - and periodic
e-zines. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect
to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services
and special offers we think you will find valuable. The lists used
to send you product and service offers are developed and managed
under our traditional corporate standards designed to safeguard the
security and privacy of our customers’ personal information.
As a customer, you will be given the opportunity to notify us of
your desire not to receive these offers.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are a feature of
Web browser software that allows Web servers to recognize the computer
used to access a Web site. Cookies are small pieces of data that
are stored by a user’s Web browser on the user’s hard
drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one
Web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that Web site by
the same user or to use the information to streamline the user’s
transactions on related Web pages. This makes it easier for a user
to move from Web page to Web page and to complete commercial transactions
over the Internet. Cookies should make your online experience easier
and more personalized.
How Do We Use Information
We Collect from Cookies?
We use Web site browser
software tools such as cookies and Web server logs to gather information
about our Web site users’ browsing activities, in order to
constantly improve our Web site and better serve our customers. This
information assists us to design and arrange our Web pages in the
most user-friendly manner and to continually improve our Web site
to better meet the needs of our customers and prospective customers.
Cookies help us collect important business and technical statistics.
The information in the cookies lets us trace the paths followed by users
to our Web site as they move from one page to another. Web server logs
allow us to count how many people visit our Web site and evaluate our
Web site’s visitor capacity. We do not use these technologies to
capture your individual email address or any personally identifying information
about you although they do permit us to send focused online banner advertisements
or other such responses to you.
Sharing Information with
Affiliates
From time to time you may
notice offers from outside companies advertised on our Web site.
We take measures to select product or service providers that are
responsible and afford privacy protections to their customers. However,
we cannot make any representations about the practices and policies
of these companies.
Sharing Information with
Third Parties
We do not share information you provide us to third parties for their
promotional use.
Notice of New Services and
Changes
Occasionally,
we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important
changes to our Web site, new services and special
offers we think you will find valuable. As our client, you will be
given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive
these offers by clicking on a response box when you receive such
an offer or by sending us an email request at info@kennacompany.com.
How Do We Secure Information
Transmissions?
When you send confidential
personal credit card information to us on our Web site, secure server
software which we have licensed, encrypts all information you input
before it is sent to us. The information is scrambled en route and
decoded once it reaches our Web site.
Other e-mail that you may send to us may not be secure unless we advise
you that security measures will be in place prior to your transmitting
the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential
information such as Social Security or account numbers to us through
an unsecured email.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
Information Security - We
utilize encryption/security software to safeguard the confidentiality
of personal information we collect from unauthorized access or disclosure
and accidental loss, alteration or destruction.
Evaluation of Information Protection Practices - Periodically, our operations
and business practices are reviewed to insure your security and confidentiality.
Employee Access, Training and Expectations - Our corporate values, ethical
standards, policies and practices are committed to the protection of
customer information. In general, our business practices limit employee
access to confidential information, and limit the use and disclosure
of such information to authorized persons, processes and transactions.
How Can You Access and Correct
Your Information?
You may request access to
all your personally identifiable information that we collect online
and maintain in our database by emailing info@kennacompany.com.
Do We Disclose Information
to Outside Parties?
We may provide aggregate
information about our customers, sales, Web site traffic patterns
and related Web site information to our affiliates or reputable third
parties, but this information will not include personally identifying
data, except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy.
What about Legally Compelled
Disclosure of Information?
We may disclose information
when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good
faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of
our legal rights.
What about Other Web Sites
Linked to Our Web Site?
We are not responsible for
the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from our Web site
nor the information or content contained therein. Often links to
other Web sites are provided solely as pointers to information on
topics that may be useful to the users of our Web site.
