Privacy Policy
Kowalski Heat Treating
is committed to implementing measures designed to protect
the privacy of those visiting our site. Moreover, we see it
as our responsibility to set examples and help establish the
standards for privacy on the Internet. Although we respect
the privacy of all those who visit
www.khtheat.com site, we do collect information from our
web site's visitors. This Privacy Policy governs your
interaction with the web site.
Please note that we
review these privacy practices from time to time, and that
these practices are therefore subject to change. We ask
that you periodically review this page to ensure continuing
familiarity with the most current version of this web site's
Privacy Policy. We gather two types of information about
visitors to this web site:
1. Non-Personally
Identifiable Information: When
visitors come to the web site, we collect information
indicating, among other things, which pages were visited,
the order in which they were visited, and which hyperlinks
were "clicked". Collecting such information involves the
logging of IP addresses, operating system, and browser
software used by each visitor to the web site. Although
such information is not personally identifiable, we can
determine from the IP address a visitor's internet service
provider and the geographic location of his or her point of
connectivity.
The non-personally
identifiable information we collect helps us diagnose
problems with our server, administer the web site, identify
the most popular areas of the web site, and determine the
effectiveness of our promotional activities. In addition,
we do not disclose this information to advertisers or any
other third party.
For the same purposes,
we use cookies, which are small text files placed on your
computer's hard drive to help us determine the type of
content and sites to which you link, the length of time you
spend at any particular area of the web site, and your usage
of our services offered via the web site.
Essentially, cookies are
your identification cards for our computers, or servers that
placed them there. Cookies are only read by the server that
placed them, and are unable to execute any code or virus.
Cookies allow us to serve you better and more efficiently,
and to personalize your experience at the website.
Nevertheless, you should be able to control how and whether
cookies will be accepted by your web browser. For more
information on how to do so, please refer to the
documentation accompanying your browser.
We use non-personally
identifiable information to build higher quality, more
useful online services by performing statistical analyses of
the collective characteristics and behavior of the web
site's visitors, and by measuring demographics and interests
regarding specific areas of the web site. We do not provide
statistical information based on this data to any third
parties.
The web site may contain
links to other internet web sites that may not be owned or
operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy
practices or the content of such web sites, including such
sites' use of any information (such as IP number, browser
type, or operating system) collected when visitors to the
web site click through links to those sites. Even though
such information might not identify you personally, we
strongly encourage you to become familiar with the privacy
practices of those sites.
2. Personally
Identifiable Information: In
certain areas of the web site, such as feedback forms, the
web site may require that you provide Kowalski Heat Treating
with personally identifiable information (for example, name,
address, e-mail address, etc.). We do not knowingly collect
personally identifiable information from children (defined
herein as minors younger than 13 years of age).
We reserve the right to
release any and all information contained within our access
logs concerning any visitor or member when that visitor or
member is in violation of our Terms of Service or other
published guidelines, or partakes (or is reasonably
suspected of partaking) in any illegal activity, even
without a subpoena, warrant, or other court order, and to
release such information in response to discovery requests,
or in response to any circumstance which we, in our sole
discretion, deem an emergency. We cooperate with law
enforcement agencies in identifying those who may be using
our servers or services for illegal activities. We also
reserve the right to report any suspected illegal activity
to law enforcement for investigation or prosecution.
Security
All information gathered
on the web site is stored within a controlled database
accessible only to us to protect the loss, misuse, or
alteration of the information under our control. However,
as effective as any security measure implemented by us may
be, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee
the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that
information you supply will not be intercepted while being
transmitted to us over the Internet.
Changing/Deleting
Personal Information
If you would like to
have your personally identifiable information changed or
removed from our database, please contact us at
khtadmin@khtheat.com, and we will use reasonable efforts
to comply with your request. Keep in mind, however, that
there will be residual information that will remain within
our databases, access logs, and other records, which may or
may not contain such personally identifiable information.
The residual information will not be used for commercial
purposes; however, we reserve the right, from time to time,
to re-contact former customers or users of this Web site.
