Information Collection and Use
Kinetic Systems, Inc. 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. Kinetic
Systems, Inc. may collect information from our users at several different
points on our web site.
Registration
In order to use this web site, a user may first be required to complete a
registration form. During registration a user may be required to give their
contact information (such as name and e-mail address). This information is used
to contact the user about the products and/or services on our site for which
they have expressed interest. It is optional for the user to provide more
specific demographic information, and unique identifiers, but encouraged so we
can provide a more personalized experience on our site.
Order
We may request information from the user on an order form. 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 accessing a web site. Cookies can make the users online experience easier and more
personalized by “remembering” what information a user accesses on a particular
web page in order to simplify subsequent interactions with that web site by the
same user. We may use cookie technology
to store and sometimes track information about users to our site. Most web browsers automatically accept
cookies, but you can usually change your browser options to prevent it from
accepting the cookie.
Log Files
We may use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s
movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
Sharing
We may share aggregated demographic information with our
partners, subsidiaries and affiliates. We may use outside shipping companies to
ship orders, and credit card processing companies to bill users for goods and
services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally
identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
We may partner with another party to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third-party to provide these services.
These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that Kinetic
Systems, Inc. is 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
From time-to-time our site may request information from users via a survey.
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). 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.
Security
This web site takes every precaution to protect our users’ personal
information under our control from loss, misuse and alteration. We utilize encryption/security software to
safeguard the confidentiality of user information we collect from unauthorized
access or disclosure and accidental loss, alteration or destruction.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make reasonable efforts to ensure security on our systems. If you have any questions about the security of our web site, please feel free to contact us.
Subscribe/Unsubscribe Options
We may send all new registering members a welcoming e-mail to verify
password and username. From time to time we may send out e-mail updates on
products, services, promotions, etc.
Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we present the option to
not receive these types of communications via an “unsubscribe” option.
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 information provided to
us. This can be done by updating the "Contact Us" form on this site
or “unsubscribing” to our e-mail updates.
Notification of Changes
We reserve the right to change our privacy policy at any time. We will post those changes on our site so
our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and
under circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
