This privacy statement discloses the
privacy practices for this web site.
Information
Collection and Use
Kansas Impound Auctions is the sole
owner of the information collected on
this site. We will not sell, share, or
rent this information to others in ways
different from what is disclosed in this
statement. Kansas Impound Auctions
collects information from our users at
several different points on our website.
Order
We request information from the user on
our order and catalog request forms.
Here a user must provide contact
information (like name and shipping
address) and financial information (like
credit card number, expiration date).
This information is used for billing
purposes and to fill customer's orders.
If we have trouble processing an order,
this contact information is used to get
in touch with the user.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on
the user's hard drive containing
information about the user. Cookies are
required for maintaining the shopping
cart, and this site will not function
correctly if they are disabled.
Information collected from customers via
the cookie is used to set user
preferences. Cookies are not shared with
any third party.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends,
administer the site, track user's
movement, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP
addresses are not linked to personally
identifiable information.
Links
This web site may contain links to other
sites. Please be aware that we at Kansas
Impound Auctions are not responsible for
the privacy practices of such other
sites. We encourage our users to be
aware when they leave our site and to
read the privacy statements of each and
every web site that collects personally
identifiable information. This privacy
statement applies solely to information
collected by this Web site.
Surveys &
Contests
From time-to-time our site requests
information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys
or contests is completely voluntary and
the user therefore has a choice whether
or not to disclose this information.
Information requested may include
contact information (such as name and
shipping address), and demographic
information (such as zip code, age
level). Contact information will be used
to notify the winners and award prizes.
Survey information will be used for
purposes of monitoring or improving the
use and satisfaction of this site.
Tell-A-Friend and
Send-a-Hint
If a user elects to use our referral
service for informing a friend about our
site, we ask them for the friend's name
and email address. Kansas Impound
Auctions will automatically send the
friend a one-time email inviting them to
visit the site. Kansas Impound Auctions
does not store this information.
Security
This website takes every precaution to
protect our users' information. When
users submit sensitive information via
the website, your information is
protected both online and off-line.
When our catalog request/order form asks
users to enter sensitive information
(such as credit card number), that
information is encrypted and is
protected with the best encryption
software in the industry - SSL. While on
a secure page, such as our order form,
the lock icon on the bottom of Web
browsers such as Netscape Navigator and
Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes
locked, as opposed to un-locked, or
open, when you are just 'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect
sensitive information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect
user-information off-line. All of our
users' information, not just the
sensitive information mentioned above,
is restricted in our offices. Only
employees who need the information to
perform a specific job (for example, our
billing clerk or a customer service
representative) are granted access to
personally identifiable information. If
you have any questions about the
security at our website, you can send an
email to
customer_service@kansasimpoundauctions.com.
Site and Service
Updates
We also send the user site and service
announcement updates. Members are not
able to un-subscribe from service
announcements, which contain important
information about the service. We
communicate with the user to provide
requested services and in regards to
issues relating to their account via
email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable
information changes (such as your zip
code), or if a user no longer desires
our service, we will endeavor to provide
a way to correct, update or remove that
user's personal data provided to us.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to
'opt-out' of having their information
used for purposes not directly related
to our site at the point where we ask
for the information. For example, our
order form has an 'opt-out' mechanism so
users who buy a product from us, but
don't want any marketing material, can
keep their email address off of our
lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our
newsletter or promotional materials may
opt-out of receiving these
communications by clicking on the
opt-out link provided at the bottom of
each email.
Users of our site are always notified
when their information is being
collected by any outside parties. We do
this so our users can make an informed
choice as to whether they should proceed
with services that require an outside
party, or not.
Notification of
Changes
If we decide to change our privacy
policy, we will post those changes so
our users are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it,
and under circumstances, if any, we
disclose it. If at any point we decide
to use personally identifiable
information in a manner different from
that stated at the time it was
collected, we will notify users by way
of an email. Users will have a choice as
to whether or not we use their
information in this different manner. We
will use information in accordance with
the privacy policy under which the
information was collected. |
