Privacy
Policy for The Kombrink Team's web site www.kombrink.com
THE KOMBRINK TEAM TAKES YOUR
PRIVACY SERIOUSLY. This privacy policy may be updated from time to time, so
please check back frequently.
What information is collected from me?
The kinds of information we collect from you will vary, depending on how you
use our Web site. It’s possible to browse our sites without submitting any
personally identifiable information at all, but if you choose to take
advantage of some of our services, you may be asked to provide information
such as your real name, e-mail address, phone number, or address.
In addition to the information you choose to submit, our systems are set up
to gather certain anonymous data to help us better understand how our site
is being used and how we can improve them. This automatically gathered data
includes your computer’s IP or “Internet Protocol” address, statistics about
how visitors navigate through our sites, and information provided through
the use of “cookies” .
How is my information used?
The use of your information depends on the context in which it is collected.
Cookies: These are small files that we send to and store on your computer so
that we may recognize it as a unique machine the next time you visit our
site. Our cookies are used to help us understand the size of our audience
and their traffic patterns within our network.
User-Requested Services: You may choose to request services of a more
substantial or personal nature when using our Web sites. The information you
submit is used by us to provide the service you’ve requested.
User-Initiated Communication: Our Web site enables you to send e-mail to us,
and to participate in live chats. Whenever you choose to initiate these
kinds of communication with us, you may expect to be contacted in return.
Referrals: If you participate in any referral service we may offer, we will
use the information you submit to determine which of our participating
professionals may be able to serve your needs. We may then forward your
name, contact information, and other responses to our sign-up form to the
selected professional(s), who may then contact you using that information.
Automatically Gathered Data: The information gathered automatically by our
system—such as your computer’s IP address, the kind of browser you’re using,
and a record of your navigation through our site—may be used by our team so
we can understand how to make our site convenient and useful to our
audience. This information may also be shared among the various Web sites in
the Kombrink Team family and used for similar purposes.
What choices do I have regarding the use of my information?
Reading this Privacy Policy should help you understand how any information
you share with us might be used. If you feel concerned about any of these
uses, you might elect not to participate in certain services or features
that we offer. We will never collect personal information about you without
your knowledge, so the decision whether or not to share this information is
completely up to you.
How do I "opt-out"?
You also have the ability to terminate e-mail correspondence from us at any
time. You will either be given the chance to opt out of direct mailings when
you disclose your e-mail address to us, you can simply reply to our e-mail,
typing “Unsubscribe” in the subject line and we will promptly remove your
address from that e-mail service.
If you feel concerned about the cookies that are sent between our computers
and yours, you may, through your Web browser, either choose to reject them
automatically, or have your computer prompt you before accepting them.
Generally this is done by selecting the appropriate cookies setting on your
Web browser, usually found in “Internet Options” or “Preferences.”
How is my information protected?
Whenever personal information about you is stored on our computers, that
information is password-protected from unauthorized access or use. In
addition, this information is kept only on servers that are located behind a
“firewall,” which makes their contents inaccessible to outside users.
Of course, we appreciate your help in safeguarding the integrity of your own
and others’ privacy. We hope you’ll use common sense whenever you disclose
personal information over the Internet. Just as importantly, we encourage
you to let us know immediately if you suspect that the information you share
with us is being used in any way contrary to this Privacy Policy.
Scope of This Privacy Policy: Outside Links
This Privacy Policy only applies to Web sites owned or operated by The
Kombrink Team. Our pages contain links to sites outside our
control. Please be aware that these sites may collect information about you,
and operate according to their own privacy practices which may differ from
this Privacy Policy. Remember that once you’re outside our family of Web
sites, any information you submit is outside of our control.
