Your privacy is important to us
We
protect your right to privacy. The following guidelines outline fair and
appropriate handling of all consumer information passed through this Web site.
Privacy Policy Guidelines
We
value our client’s and take great pride in ensuring that their privacy is
maintained. With electronic mail, Internet, and other online resources growing
exponentially, it is important that we maintain an environment where our
client’s feel confident the information they provide us will not be misused.
This
protection of client privacy is best achieved through cooperation between the
business community, clients, service providers, government agencies, and
information collectors. We believe every client should be able to conduct business
with us without having personal information used for unrelated purposes.
This
document provides guidelines that we use to ensure proper handling of all
client information.
Opt-Out Process
We
believe our clients should have the right to decline disclosure of personal
information collected from our databases. The records for those clients who
request that their personal information not be used for mailings will be marked
in our database so that their names are excluded from any contact in future.
Currently
we mark consumer records in two ways:
1
Do not mail
excludes the client’s name from our general advisory and promotional electronic
mailouts
2
OK to mail includes
client’s name on such mailing list
Our clients can request
removal of their name from this list at any time by sending an email to us.
Client Information Sources
Client
information is collected only when the client applies for a User Name. The
information allows us, in return, to quickly and efficiently communicate with
our clients.
Types of Information
The
client information we collect allows us to better understand our consumers and
their service preferences. Client profiles help us to develop products and
programmes, which relate to client’s needs. The typical profile information
collected is: name and address, phone and fax number, email address, types of
product used and their quantities.
Uses of Client Information
Client
information may be used for various research projects aimed to better
understand product usage and client preferences. The data may be used to
evaluate client reaction to our products, and services offered online. It may
also include using the client’s name and address on direct mail or other client
communication methods.
On
occasion, we may also disclose name and information collected to approved firms
that market research for us. Those clients who have requested removal of their
name will not be contacted. Names will
not be used by an external company on behalf of any other company or for any
other purpose. |
