Kingston Brass may enhance or merge your information collected at its site with data from third parties for purposes of marketing products or services to you.
In addition, Kingston Brass may be required to disclose personal information in connection with law enforcement, fraud prevention, regulation, and other legal action or if Kingston Brass reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to protect Kingston Brass, its customers, or the public.
YOU CAN OPT-OUT OF KINGSTON BRASS’S MARKETING LIST AT ANY TIME
Periodically, we may send you information about our various products and services, or other products and services we feel may be of interest to you. Only Kingston Brass (or agents working on behalf of Kingston Brass and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these direct mailings. If you do not want to be included on Kingston Brass’s marketing list, simply tell us when you give us your personal information.
KINGSTON BRASS WILL NOT DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO ANY OUTSIDE ORGANIZATION FOR ITS USE IN MARKETING WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT
Information regarding you (such as name, address and phone number) or your order and the products you purchase will not be given or sold to any outside organization for its use in marketing or solicitation without your consent. Your information may be shared with agents or contractors of Kingston Brass for the purpose of performing services for Kingston Brass.
INTERNET COMMERCE
The online store at Kingstonbrass.com is designed to give you options concerning the privacy of your credit card information, name, address, e-mail and any other information you provide us. Kingston Brass is committed to data security with respect to information collected on our site. We offer the industry standard security measures available through your browser called SSL encryption, (please see Kingston Brass’s Store Security page for details on these security measures). If at any time you would like to make a purchase, but do not want to provide your credit card information online, you may contact a sales representative over the telephone. Simply call 1-877-2KBRASS. It has always been a Kingston Brass practice to contact customers in the event of a potential problem with your purchase or any normal business communication regarding your purchase.
CUSTOMIZED EXPERIENCE
We use technology to help us deliver customized visitor experiences. At Kingston Brass, we primarily use “cookies” to help us determine which service and support information is appropriate to your machine and to maintain your shopping experience in our online store. Our use of this technology does not mean that we automatically know any information about you. We might be able to ascertain what type of computer you are using, but beyond that, our use of cookies is designed only to provide you with a better experience when using www.Kingstonbrass.com. Kingston Brass has no desire or intent to infringe on your privacy while using the Kingstonbrass.com site.
THIRD-PARTY SITES
Please be aware that other web sites that may be accessed through our site may collect personally identifiable information about you. The information practices of those third-party web sites linked to Kingstonbrass.com are not covered by this privacy statement. We generally use the ” ” symbol to mark links that go to third-party sites.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you’re online. If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. While we strive to protect your personal information, Kingston Brass cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY (AGE 12 AND UNDER)
Kingston Brass takes children’s privacy seriously.
Kingston Brass does not seek to collect personal information about children through its website. Kingston Brass does not condition a child’s participation in an activity on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the activity.
If we become aware that a person submitting personal information to us through any part of our Web site is a child, we delete the information as soon as we discover it and do not use it for any purpose, nor do we disclose it to third parties.
Since we do not seek to collect any personal information about children, and we delete any information collected inadvertently as soon as we discover that a child has submitted it, we typically retain no information about children that could be reviewed or deleted. If a parent requests review or deletion of information about their child before we have discovered and deleted the information, then we will of course honor that request.
OTHER WEBSITES
Kingston Brass’s website contains links to other websites that are not operated by Kingston Brass. Kingston Brass is not responsible for the privacy practices of the websites that it does not operate. Some parts of the website are animated using various downloadable applications, such as Macromedia’s Shockwave/Flash. We use the video hosting services of Youtube.com. Macromedia operates under their own privacy and security policies, and the way they may collect and use information can be further evaluated at: www.macromedia.com.
