McKenzie
Management Privacy Policy
Our Commitment
to Privacy
McKenzie Management's Privacy Policy was developed
as an extension of our commitment to combine the highest-quality products
and services with the highest level of integrity in dealing with our clients
and affiliate partners. Our policy is designed to assist you in understanding
how we collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide
to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using McKenzie
Management's web sites and our products and services. This statement will
be continuously assessed against new technologies, business practices
and our customers' needs.
What Information Do
We Collect?
When you visit any of McKenzie Management's web sites, you may
provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly
choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis and Web site
use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse
our Web site.
1. Personal Information You
Choose to Provide
Credit Card Information
If you choose to purchase products or services from us or our affiliate
partners, you may need to give personal information and authorization
to obtain information from various credit services. For example, you may
need to provide the following information:
- Name
- Mailing address
- Email address
- Credit card number
- Home and business phone
number
- Other personal information
(i.e. mother's maiden name)
Email Information
In addition to providing the foregoing information to our partners,
if you choose to correspond further with us through email, we may retain
the content of your email messages together with your email address and
our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications
that we employ in the maintenance of information received by mail and
telephone.
2. Web Site Use Information
Similar to other commercial
Web sites, McKenzie Management web sites utilizes a standard technology
called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What Are Cookies?")
and Web server logs to collect information about how our Web site is used.
Information gathered through cookies and Web server logs may include the
date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site,
and the Web sites visited just before and just after our Web site. This
information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information
is associated with you as an individual.
How Do We Use the Information
That You Provide to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering
our business activities, providing customer service and making available
other products and services to our customers and prospective customers.
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify
you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special
offers we think you will find valuable. The lists used to send you product
and service offers are developed and managed under our traditional corporate
standards designed to safeguard the security and privacy of our customers'
personal information. As a customer, you will be given the opportunity,
at least once annually, to notify us of your desire not to receive these
offers.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are a feature of Web browser software that allows Web
servers to recognize the computer used to access a Web site. Cookies are
small pieces of data that are stored by a user's Web browser on the user's
hard drive. Cookies can remember what information user accesses on one
Web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that Web site by the
same user or to use the information to streamline the user transactions
on related Web pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from Web
page to Web page and to complete commercial transactions over the Internet.
Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized.
How Do We Use Information
We Collect from Cookies?
We use Web site browser software tools such as cookies and Web server
logs to gather information about our Web site users' browsing activities,
in order to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our customers.
This information assists us to design and arrange our Web pages in the
user-friendliest manner and to continually improve our Web site to better
meet the needs of our customers and prospective customers.
Cookies help us collect important
business and technical statistics. The information in the cookies lets
us trace the paths followed by users to our Web site as they move from
one page to another. Web server logs allow us to count how many people
visit our Web site and evaluate our Web site's visitor capacity. We do
not use these technologies to capture your individual email address or
any personally identifying information about you although they do permit
us to send focused online banner advertisements or other such responses
to you.
Sharing Information with
Affiliates
From time to time you may notice or receive offers from outside companies
listed on our Web site. We take measures to select product or service
providers that are responsible and afford privacy protections to their
customers. However, we cannot make any representations about the practices
and policies of these companies or any of the affiliate partners on
McKenzie Management's web sites.
Sharing Information with
Strategic Partners
McKenzie Management may enter into strategic marketing alliances or
partnerships with third parties who may be given access to personal information
including your name, address, telephone number and email for the purpose
of providing you information regarding products and services that we think
will be of interest to or benefit you. In connection with strategic marketing
alliances or partnerships or affiliates, we will retain all ownership
rights to the information, and we will not share information regarding
your social security number or other personal financial data.
Notice of New Services
and Changes
Occasionally, McKenzie Management may also use the information we
collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site,
new services and special offers we think you will find valuable. As our
client, you will be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire
not to receive these offers by clicking on a response box when you receive
such an offer or by sending us an email request at support@mckenziemgmt.com.
How Do We Secure Information
Transmissions?
When you send confidential personal credit card information to
us on our Web site, secure server software that we have licensed encrypts
all information you input before it is sent to us. The information is
scrambled en route and decoded once it reaches our Web site.
Other email that you may send
to us may not be secure unless we advise you that security measures will
be in place prior to your transmitting the information. For that reason,
we ask that you do not send confidential information such as Social Security
or account numbers to us through an unsecured email.
How Do We Protect Your
Information?
Information Security. McKenzie Management utilizes encryption/security
software to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information we collect
from unauthorized access or disclosure and accidental loss, alteration
or destruction.
Evaluation of Information
Protection Practices. Periodically, McKenzie Management's operations
and business practices are reviewed for compliance with corporate policies
and procedures governing the security, confidentiality and quality of
our information.
Employee Access, Training
and Expectations. McKenzie Management corporate values, ethical standards,
policies and practices are committed to the protection of customer information.
In general, our business practices limit employee access to confidential
information, and limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized
persons, processes and transactions.
How Can You Access
and Correct Your Information?
You may request access to all your personally identifiable information
that we collect online and maintain in our database by emailing support@mckenziemgmt.com
Do We Disclose Information
to Outside Parties?
We may provide aggregate information about our customers, sales,
Web site traffic patterns and related Web site information to our affiliates
or reputable third parties, but this information will not include personally
identifying data, except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy.
What About Legally Compelled
Disclosure of Information?
We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other
words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for
the protection of our legal rights.
What About Other Web Sites
Linked to Our Web Site?
McKenzie Management is not responsible for the practices employed
by Web sites linked to or from our Web site nor the information or content
contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided solely
as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of
our Web site.
Please remember that when you
use a link to go from our Web site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy
is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other Web
site, including Web sites which have a link on our Web site, is subject
to that Web site's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules
and policies before proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to our collection and use of
your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we change
our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes on our
Web site to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we use
it and under what circumstances we may disclose it.
