1. Overview and Legal
Compliance
1.1
Baird & Warner Holding Company and its subsidiaries
and affiliates ("Baird & Warner," "B&W,"
"We," "Us" or "Our") created
this Privacy Policy to demonstrate Our commitment to
protecting the privacy of visitors to Our home page
located at www.baird-warner-offices.com
(the "Web Site"). This Policy applies only
to information collected via the Web Site. We will collect
information only from people over the age of 18.
2. Your Information, How We Collect and Use It
2.1 You
may be required to provide Us with certain information
when using the Web Site. You agree that the information
You provide will be true and accurate. You consent to
Our verifying any information that You provide.
2.2 Here's
how We collect and use information from You in Our efforts
to provide You with a superior customized online experience:
IP Address
- An IP or "Internet Protocol" address is
a number that is automatically assigned to Your computer
whenever You're surfing the Internet. Web servers automatically
identify Your computer by its IP address. Your IP address
and other site usage data are used to gather broad demographic
information. This data helps Us serve You by allowing
Us to understand how visitors use our Web Sites. We
normally do not link IP addresses to anything personally
identifiable, which means that a Customer's session
will be logged, but the Customer remains anonymous to
Us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a Customer
when We feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with
Our Terms of Use or to protect Our service, Web Site,
customers or others.
Cookies
- Our sites use a technology called "cookies,"
small files stored by Your browser to help keep track
of Your user profile. Our cookies do not collect personally
identifiable information. We use cookies to remember
Your personal profile for Your convenience, to deliver
content specific to Your needs and interests, and to
ensure You do not see the same ad repeatedly. We also
use cookies to track User trends and improve areas of
Our Web Sites that Our Users find valuable. The use
of cookies is an industry standard found at most major
web sites.
Registration
- Some of Our Web Sites include registration forms that
require Users to give Us contact information (like Your
name), unique identifiers (like Your email address),
and demographic information (like Your Zip code or age).
We use contact information from registration forms to
send You information related to Our products and services
if You consent to receiving such mailings. Your contact
information may also be used to contact You when necessary
for administrative purposes related to Your account.
We use Your email as a unique identifier in our record
system, to verify communications from You, and to send
You newsletters and promotion offerings that You ask
to receive or to tell You about changes to the Web Site.
3. Security
3.1
We are concerned with the security of Your Information.
We use our best commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard
the confidentiality of your Information, using devices
like firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. Unfortunately,
no data transmission over the Internet is guaranteed
to be 100% secure. As a result, We cannot ensure the
security of any Information You transmit to Us or receive
from Our online products or services. Accordingly, You
transmit and receive Information at Your own risk.
4. Email Services:
Opting Out
- If You take
advantage of any email notification features on
Our sites, You will receive email updates as described
in the service.
- We provide Users
the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications
from Us. To remove Your name from an email service,
simply click on the "Unsubscribe" link
at the bottom of the email and type in Your information.
- If You have any
questions regarding privacy on Our Web Site, You
may email
Us.
5. Personal Tools
and Discussion Groups
5.1
Certain products on Our sites allow You to store Your
personal information for future use. We do not
share this information with third parties, other than
as set forth above.
5.2 We
offer email Discussion Groups for the use of Our Users
and prospective customers. We moderate these Discussion
Groups that cover a wide range of topics. You should
be aware that information disclosed in these Discussion
Groups is made available to all Discussion Group members
and thus becomes public information. You should exercise
caution when deciding to disclose any personal information.
6. Surveys
6.1 We
may survey Users for contact information, unique identifiers
and demographic information. You are never required
to answer these questions. The information You
submit may be used for analyzing overall site demographics,
preferences and tastes, and similar "getting to
know Our customers" purposes. We may disclose
this data to third parties in an aggregated form (such
as summary reports for our advertisers) but never with
User data or identification information.
7. Outside
Links
7.1 While
on the Web Site, You may be led to other web sites.
Be aware that other sites may collect data and personal
information and operate according to their own privacy
practices. Please remember that once you are outside
of Our Web Site, any information You submit is outside
of Our control.
8. Disclosure
8.1 To provide You the
best products and services, We team with business partners.
When You indicate that You want to receive a product
or service, or contact a person or organization, We
share the data needed for You to receive that product
or service or make that contact. Occasionally, We hire
consultants who may need access to Our member database
to perform their services for Us. We require that these
business partners agree in writing not to use any member
information. We may contract with outside companies
to administer our mailing lists or provide retail services.
Your personal information may be shared with an outside
company for the sole purpose of administering the products,
services and programs you have selected. We may disclose
Your personally identifiable information to comply with
the law, government orders, court orders, or legal process
served on Us or to protect and defend Our property,
rights or Users. Further, in the unlikely event that
B&W merges with or is acquired by another business entity
or some or all of its assets are acquired, your personal
information will necessarily be a business asset that
is acquired in the transaction.
