This page sets forth the site terms and privacy policies of Commercial Kitchen Equipment.
I. LINKS TO OTHER SITES
Commercial Kitchen
Equipment has relationships with other companies that we allow to
place ads and links on our Web pages. As a result of your visit to
Commercial Kitchen Equipment, ad server companies may collect
information such as your domain type, your IP address, and
clickstream information.
Please note that when you click on one of these links, you are moving from Commercial Kitchen Equipment to another Web site. We encourage you to read the site terms and privacy statements of these linked sites as their site terms and privacy policies may differ from ours.
II. ORDERS
If you purchase a product from one of the
companies Commercial Kitchen Equipment represents, they will request
certain personally identifiable information from you on their order
form. You must provide contact information (such as name, email, and
shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card
number, expiration date). Commercial Kitchen Equipment is not
responsible for the site terms or privacy policies of such other
sites so review their site terms and privacy policy before completing
your order.
III. REGISTRATION FOR NEWSLETTER
If Commercial
Kitchen Equipment offers a newsletter then registration is required
with Commercial Kitchen Equipment, such as name and email address. We
use this information to contact you about the services on our site in
which you have expressed interest. We will never share this
information unless required to do so by law enforcement agencies, as
stated below in our privacy policy.
CONSUMER PRIVACY
I. INFORMATION WE COLLECT:
INDIVIDUAL INTERNET CONSUMERS
A. Personally
Identifiable Information (PII).
Under no circumstances does
Commercial Kitchen Equipment request or collect sensitive PII such as
an Internet user's medical/health conditions; racial or ethnic
origin; political, religious or philosophical beliefs or
affiliations; trade union membership or sex life.
B.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Non-PII).
When a
consumer responds to or views an Internet advertisement served by
Commercial Kitchen Equipment (such as through third-party Web sites
or email solicitation) or visits an advertiser's web site, we send a
cookie and/or gif file ("Cookies") to assign an anonymous,
unique identifier to the end user's Internet browser. Cookies are
small data files commonly used on the Internet to help optimize and
personalize the Internet end user experience and identify repeat
visitors to Web sites.
Commercial Kitchen Equipment uses
Cookies to obtain information about the preferences of consumers and
the services they select; and also to optimize and personalize the
Internet user's experience. If the Internet user re-visits the
advertiser's site directly, Commercial Kitchen Equipment is able to
continue to track the user's activities.
Like most standard
Web site servers, we use log files to collect Internet protocol (IP)
addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP),
referring/exit pages, platform type, and date/time stamp. We use the
information to analyze site usage, administer the site, understand
usage and navigation trends in aggregate, and determine the relevance
of content. This information, however, is not linked to any
personally identifiable information.
We also may use Internet
browsing and online purchase data associated with an anonymous
identifier to develop a predictive statistical user profile of the
end user's needs and interests. Commercial Kitchen Equipment does not
use Cookies or log files to collect end users' names, physical
addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers,
social security numbers, or any other information which can be used
to identify a specific person. We may match the IP address and user
profile with email address data obtained separately in order to
better target campaigns to meet user's interests, but will not share
this information with third parties.
Commercial Kitchen
Equipment has relationships with other companies that we allow to
place ads and links on our Web pages. Please note that when you click
on one of these links, you are moving to another web site. We
encourage you to read the privacy statements of these linked sites as
their privacy policies may differ from ours.
Some of these other companies may use marketing technology that
allows advertisers to add non-personally-identifying demographic
information, such as age, gender, area code, or ZIP code, to the
non-identifiable profile data. Thus, there is no direct connection
between an end user's online choices and his or her personal
identity.
In some cases, Commercial Kitchen Equipment receives
and records partial email addresses of Internet users, only in
circumstances where the user voluntarily provided its identity and
contact information through the Advertiser's site or third-party
marketer's site. This partial email address does not enable
Commercial Kitchen Equipment to personally identify an Internet User
nor is it shared, sold, rented, or given away.
II.
INFORMATION SHARING
Commercial Kitchen Equipment may
release account and any other personal information when we believe
release is appropriate to respond to a subpoena or otherwise comply
with the law; or protect the rights, property, or safety of
Commercial Kitchen Equipment or others. This may include exchanging
information with other companies and organizations for fraud
protection.
III. CONSUMER CHOICE AND ACCESS
A.
Opting Out.
Some Cookies have an "opt-out" option.
This process does not remove Commercial Kitchen Equipment's Cookie
from your system; it simply replaces it with an opt-out Cookie that
does not contain any unique identifiers. If Commercial Kitchen
Equipment provides such a process it is detailed below.
Some
of Commercial Kitchen Equipment's Cookies do not have an "opt-out"
option, yet you still have the option of blocking the use of Cookies
by changing a setting in your Internet browser. Please see your
browser supplier's Web site for details on how to do
this.
Commercial Kitchen Equipment does not maintain a process
for an individual consumer to opt-out of Commercial Kitchen
Equipment's Cookies.
B. Accessing Consumer Information.
Because they are not directed towards individual Internet users,
most sites do not maintain a process for an individual consumer to
review and/or request changes to any PII collected.
Except as
provided below, Commercial Kitchen Equipment does not maintain a
process for an individual consumer to access his/her PII.
IV.
SECURITY
Commercial Kitchen Equipment employs industry
standard security measures to ensure the security of all data. Any
data that is stored on Commercial Kitchen Equipment's servers is
treated as proprietary and confidential and is not available to the
public. Commercial Kitchen Equipment allows access to this data only
to those employees or third parties who have a need to know such
information for the purpose of effectively delivering Commercial
Kitchen Equipment's products and services by means of user login and
password requirements.
No transmission of data over the
Internet is guaranteed to be completely secure. It may be possible
for third parties not under the control of Commercial Kitchen
Equipment to intercept or access transmissions or private
communications unlawfully. While we strive to protect your PII,
Commercial Kitchen Equipment cannot ensure or warrant the security of
any information you transmit to us. You acknowledge and assume this
risk when communicating with Commercial Kitchen Equipment.
V.
CONSENT AND CHANGES
Commercial Kitchen Equipment may find
it necessary or be legally obligated to update this Privacy Policy
from time to time. When we do, we will post those changes on this
page and update the effective date so that you are always aware of
the information we collect, how we use it, and under what
circumstances we disclose it. Except as otherwise required by law,
modifications to this Privacy Policy will not affect the privacy of
data collected by Commercial Kitchen Equipment prior to the effective
date of the policy change.
VI. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY AND SPAM
Commercial Kitchen Equipment is very sensitive to the
issue of children's privacy and makes every effort to protect the
privacy of children using the Internet. It is possible that
Commercial Kitchen Equipment's Web site, products, and services may
may not be appropriate for or directed at children. Children (persons
under the age of 18) are not eligible to do business with us and we
do not collect personal information from any person we actually know
is under the age of 13.
Commercial Kitchen Equipment is
committed to proper Internet practices and full compliance with the
CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (15 U.S.C. § 7701). It is our policy to
prohibit the sending of unsolicited or "Spam" e-mail by
Commercial Kitchen Equipment or any of our marketing
partners.
Please note that under the CAN-SPAM Act, an
advertiser is required to provide an opt-out mechanism for consumers
to unsubscribe from future emails about the advertiser. Although not
required to by law, many email marketers also include an opt-out
mechanism to enable consumers to be removed from their mailing list.
This has caused some confusion for consumers in opting out. The table
below clarifies which opt-out mechanism you should use for commercial
emails.

VII. DATA PROCESSING/SAFE HARBOR
The
European Union ("EU") maintains strict privacy laws. These
rules differ significantly from US laws. To reconcile these
differences, the US and the EU have created a Safe Harbor that
defines mutually acceptable privacy operations. Commercial Kitchen
Equipment adheres to the Safe Harbor principals. For more information
see www.export.gov/safeharbor.
