KRCC PRIVACY POLICY
1. OVERVIEW
KRCC ("KRCC" or "we") is committed to protecting the privacy
of your personal information. This Privacy Policy sets forth the manner in which
KRCC uses any information you provide to us. The information that we request
from you is designed to enable us to improve your experience with the Web sites
owned or operated by KRCC (the “Site”) and the content, material
and data (the “Content”) available on or through the Site.
2. PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
The only personally identifiable information we collect when you use the Site
and subscribe to our monthly newsletter is your email address. We will not sell,
rent or otherwise distribute your personally identifiable information to any
third parties without your consent, except: (a) in the event of a change of control
associated with the sale, merger, transfer, or other disposition of all or a
portion of the business of KRCC, in which case the new controlling party shall
receive the information we collect; (b) if we are required to provide the information
to a third party by law; and (c) to enable our third-party agents or other persons
providing services or products to perform their obligations under agreements
between KRCC and such third parties or persons.
KRCC may use the personally identifiable information we collect from you for
the following purposes: (a) to send you notices related to the Site, Content,
and current and future KRCC programs and services, including notices of modifications
to this policy; (b) to send you news, information and special offers from us,
including any contest KRCC may choose to sponsor; and (c) to process any application
for services or goods offered by or through KRCC, and administer and bill your
account and verify your rights to such services or goods, including submission
of your credit card information to the credit institution for normal processing
(we don’t share your credit history or credit card numbers with other
companies or third parties).
Before we use your personally identifiable information to send you information
or otherwise communicate with you, we ask that you indicate your wish to receive
such communication by “opting in” to inclusion on our mailing lists
by providing us with your e-mail address on the Site.
3. CHILDREN UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE
We will not knowingly collect personal information from or about anyone we know
is under the age of thirteen (13) without prior parental consent, except as required
by law. If for any reason you wish to access, update or remove information about
your child that has been previously provided to us, please notify us.
We strongly recommend parental supervision when a child uses the Internet, particularly
when a child enters a discussion forum or uses email. We also encourage parents
to instruct their children not to give out personal information in discussion
forums or in email.
4. NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE AND AGGREGATE INFORMATION
We may gather anonymous data related to the pages and items that are viewed,
clicked on, streamed, and searched for, and the URLs that users may click on
from the Site or Content.
KRCC uses this information only in aggregate form to understand how users are
using the Site and Content so that we can improve our services and make them
as useful and enjoyable as possible for our visitors. We will occasionally release
aggregate demographic information about user trends to third parties, including
underwriters. We may also retain aggregated log files of requested content in
order to report overall product usage to third parties and to evaluate user trends.
To enhance your experience while using the Site and the Content, we use a feature
called a "cookie." Cookies are small files that are sent to your
web browser that your web browser then places on your computer's hard drive.
We use
cookies to recognize your browser. If you are uncomfortable with cookie technology
you may change the settings on your browser to disable cookies, but this may
make it difficult or impossible for you to access or use some or all of the
Site or Content.
We also store your IP address. IP addresses are used by your computer every time
you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by
computers on the network to identify your computer so that data (such as the
web pages you request) can be sent to you.
Third Party Web Sites. Please note that KRCC does not control, and has no responsibility
or liability for, the policies and practices of our underwriters or of web sites
you may access through links on the Site or the Content. If you have questions
about these parties' use of information they may gather from you when you click
on their announcements or go to their web site, please contact them directly.
5. PROMOTIONS AND SWEEPSTAKES
If you chose to enter a promotion, sweepstakes, or contest hosted by KRCC or
sponsored by KRCC and/or one of our partners, we may ask for your name, address,
and email address. You may be asked to provide additional information or to answer
certain questions, some of which may be optional, in order to participate. We
may contact you in connection with a particular promotion, such as a sweepstakes
or contest, in order to update your status, administer the promotion, let you
know that a promotion has ended, and for other purposes.
Promotions that are hosted on KRCC may be sponsored by KRCC, may be co-sponsored
by KRCC and another company, or may be sponsored by companies other than KRCC.
Some or all of the data collected during a promotion may be shared with the sponsor(s)
or companies indicated on the entry form. If data will be shared, then there
will be notice prior to the time of data collection or transfer.
6. SECURITY
All personal information is stored in our secure databases. Access to that information
is controlled and limited to KRCC employees and contractors on a need-to-know
basis. We want to protect the integrity of your personal information that we
may have in our database. KRCC maintains reasonable controls to provide security
over personal information, including credit card details, such as (a) the use
of secure connections from your Web browser to KRCC for any credit card information;
and (b) use of encryption for sensitive personal information, such as credit
card numbers. While KRCC strives to protect your personal information, we cannot
ensure and do not warrant the security of any information. Communication via
the Internet is not failsafe, and there is always a possibility that data may
be lost, or intercepted by unauthorized parties during such transmission or after
receipt by KRCC. You agree that KRCC shall have no liability whatsoever in connection
with such lost or intercepted data.
7. REVIEWING AND UPDATING YOUR INFORMATION
You can correct or change your personal information, or remove your personally-identifiable
information from our mailing list, by so requesting through the Site or by sending
an email to membership@krcc.org, or by mail to KRCC, 912 North Weber Street,
Colorado Springs, CO 80903. KRCC reserves the right to verify the identity of
all persons making such requests; provided that KRCC shall have no liability
whatsoever resulting from false or erroneous requests.
8. REASONABLE EFFORTS
We will use reasonable efforts to comply with this privacy policy and will take
prompt corrective action when we learn of any failure to comply with our privacy
policy. KRCC does not guarantee error-free performance under this privacy policy.
KRCC shall not be liable for any incidental, consequential or punitive damages
relating to this privacy policy.
9. CHANGES TO KRCC PRIVACY POLICY
If we change our privacy policy in any material respect, we will note the last
date on which the privacy policy was updated so that you will always know what
information we gather, how we might use that information and the extent to which
we may disclose it to any third parties. In the event we change this policy,
we will attempt to provide advance notice by posting such changes to the Site
at least 30 days prior to implementation, or such shorter period as is necessary
in accordance with applicable law and/or business conditions. Unless otherwise
stated, the current Privacy Policy applies to all information KRCC has collected
or you have provided at any time.
