Westchester K&B recognizes that the growth of online services, including
Internet services, has created additional privacy concerns, particularly for
consumers.
Online privacy concerns focus on the protection of "customer identifiable" information,
which an individual or other customer reasonably expects to be kept private.
As the term suggests, "customer identifiable" information is information
which can be associated with a specific individual or entity, including, for
example, a customer’s name, address, or telephone number, e-mail address, and
information about online activities that are directly linked to them.
Business web sites may ask visitors to supply information about themselves,
particularly when information, services or merchandise are requested, but often
simply to be able to better target the company’s services to the customer’s interests
and requirements.
Westchester K&B’s Online Privacy Policy: Informed Choice
Westchester K&B has put in place the following Online Privacy Policy to
protect customer identifiable information. This policy covers Westchester K&B
and applies to all customer identifiable information that Westchester K&B
obtains when a customer registers for or uses a Westchester K&B service,
including visiting a Westchester K&B-owned and/or controlled website.
Disclosure: Westchester K&B will not sell, trade, or
disclose to third parties any customer identifiable information derived from
the registration for or use of a Westchester K&B online service — including
customer names and addresses -- without the consent of the customer (except as
required by subpoena or other legal process or in the case of imminent physical
harm to the customer or others). When Westchester K&B uses other agents,
contractors or companies to perform services on its behalf, Westchester K&B
will ensure that the company protects your customer identifiable information
consistent with this Policy. If Westchester K&B includes your name and any
other customer identifiable information in a directory that Westchester K&B
creates from information we receive, the company will give you the opportunity
to have your information excluded from that directory. Business directories that
Westchester K&B creates may, however, contain information obtained from other
sources.
Collection and Use: Westchester K&B will collect and
use customer identifiable information for billing purposes, to provide and change
services, to anticipate, or to create and inform you of products and services
that better meet your needs. This means that Westchester K&B may use your
customer identifiable information, in conjunction with information available
from other sources, to market new services to you that we think will be of interest
to you, but we will not disclose your customer identifiable information to third
parties who want to market products to you.
Security: Westchester K&B has implemented technology
and security features and strict policy guidelines to safeguard the privacy of
your customer identifiable information from unauthorized access or improper use,
and we will continue to enhance our security procedures as new technology becomes
available.
Email Contents: Westchester K&B will not read or disclose
to third parties private e-mail communications that are transmitted using Westchester
K&B services except as required to operate the service or as otherwise authorized
by law.
Account Information: Westchester K&B honors requests
from customers for account information, for example, name, address, or billing
information, and will correct any such information which may be inaccurate. Customers
may verify that appropriate corrections have been made.
