Privacy Policy
Our Commitment to Privacy
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 services. For
example, you may need to
provide the following information:
• Name
• Mailing address
•
Email address
• Credit card number
• Home and business phone
number
• Company/Employer information (ie. title)
Email 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.
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 and
making available other products and services to our
customers and
prospective customers. 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, at least once annually, 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.
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 Strategic Partners
We may enter into strategic marketing alliances or partnerships with
third parties who may be
given access to personal information including
your name, address, telephone number and email
for the purpose of
providing you information regarding products and services that we think
will
be of interest to you. In connection with strategic marketing
alliances or partnerships, we will
retain all ownership rights to the
information, and we will not share information regarding your
social
security number or other personal financial data.
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@fentonwaltz.com.
How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?
When you send confidential personal credit card information to us on
our Web site, a 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 email
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 for compliance with
corporate policies and procedures governing the
security,
confidentiality and quality of our information.
Employee Access, Training and Expectations. Our business 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@fentonwaltz.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.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Web site
to another Web site, our
Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your
browsing and interaction on any other Web site,
including Web sites
which have a link on our Web site, is subject to that Web site’s own rules
and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before
proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to our collection and use of your
personal information as
described in this Privacy Policy. If we change
our privacy policies and procedures, we will post
those changes on our
Web site to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use it
and under what circumstances we may disclose it.
