Information Collection And Use Your right to privacy is very important to us. We realize that providing us with personal information is an act of trust. Therefore we have created a privacy policy to protect the information.
All web servers track basic information about their visitors. This
information includes, but is not limited to, IP addresses, browser
details, timestamps and referring pages. None of this information can
personally identify specific visitors to this site. The information is
tracked for routine administration and maintenance purposes, and lets me
know what pages and information are useful and helpful to visitors. The KwikPit Company is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. The KwikPit Company collects information from our users at several different points on our website. Order 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. We use an outside credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share or store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes. When our order form asks a user to enter sensitive information (such as a 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 the web browsers such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just "surfing". If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to support@kwikpit.com. Cookies A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time on our website. If a user rejects a cookie, they may still use our site. For example, the user will not be able to participation any of our contests that take place. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
Such tracking is done directly by the third parties through their own
servers and is subject to their own privacy policies. Note that
you can change your browser settings to disable cookies if you have
privacy concerns. Disabling cookies for all sites is not recommended as
it may interfere with your use of some sites. The best option is to
disable or enable cookies on a per-site basis. Consult your browser
documentation for instructions on how to block cookies and other
tracking mechanisms.
DoubleClick DART cookies
We also may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick,
which places a cookie on your computer when you are browsing the web and
visit a site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google
AdSense advertisements). This cookie is used to serve ads specific to
you and your interests (”interest based targeting”). The ads served
will be targeted based on your previous browsing history (For example,
if you have been viewing sites about visiting Las Vegas, you may see Las
Vegas hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a
site about hockey). DART uses “non personally identifiable
information”. It does NOT track personal information about you, such as
your name, email address, physical address, telephone number, social
security numbers, bank account numbers or credit card numbers. You can
opt-out of this ad serving on all sites using this advertising by

Sharing We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person. 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 website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of other such 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. Newsletter If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email address. Surveys & Contest From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys of contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether of 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). 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. 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. Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may Opt-Out of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email of email us at sales@kwikpit.com. Notification Of Changes If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage 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 the way of 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. |
