Privacy Statement:
Privacy Statement
Your privacy on the Internet is important to us. Because we gather certain
types of information about the users of Kenthe's network of sites and
services, we believe you should fully understand the terms and conditions
surrounding the capture and use of that information. This privacy statement
discloses what information we gather and how we use it.
Information Collection and Use
Kenthe collects information from our users at several different points
on our web sites. Wherever we collect personal information, we include
a link to this Privacy Policy on that page. When you register with one
of our sites or sign up to receive one of our newsletters, Kenthe may
ask for your contact information (such as your email address) and your
demographic information (such as your zip code, industry, and job function).
We use demographic information to tailor your experience at our web site,
showing you content and advertisements that we think might interest you.
Kenthe may also ask for such information at other times, such as when
you request information or when you decide to purchase products or services
from Kenthe and/or our customers and suppliers. The information collected
by Kenthe may be used in a number of ways. For example, Kenthe will share
broad aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers.
An example would be where Kenthe provides partners and advertisers with
information about the percentage of men or women who visit our sites,
or about the types of industries that users come from. Kenthe's goal in
collecting personal information is to provide you, the user, with the
most personalized web experience possible and our advertisers with an
efficient means to reach the right audience. By knowing a little about
you, Kenthe is able to deliver more relevant content and advertisements,
and hence a better service, to you.
Newsletter Subscription
We may send new registrants and subscribers a welcoming email. We ask
our new subscribers in the welcoming email to then confirm their new subscription
to the newsletter as a way of protecting them from unwanted emails. New
members receive newsletters and product updates from Kenthe only if they
follow the confirmation instructions in the welcoming email. If new members
do not wish to receive such newsletters and updates, they do not need
to take any action.
Promotion and Direct Mail
Our web sites provide you with the choice to receive promotional emails
from Kenthe and/or its partners. If you choose to receive promotional
emails from Kenthe and/or its partners, you will be giving Kenthe permission
to access your information on behalf of pre-screened third parties for
marketing or promotional purposes. We will not share your information
with our partners unless you have opted in to receive promotional emails
from such partners. If you have chosen to receive such emails and later
change your mind, you can remove yourself from this distribution list
via a link in the communication or by unsubscribing at this site. Kenthe
and/or its partners may also send direct mailings to your postal address
from time to time. If you do not want to receive direct mailings from
Kenthe and/or its partners, you can remove yourself from this distribution
list by notifying us through the link set forth below. In addition to
Kenthe, agents working on behalf of Kenthe under confidentiality agreements,
and certain suppliers who are in contract with Kenthe, may send you carefully
selected e-mails or direct mailings about products and services that may
be of interest to you. Kenthe does not control or monitor the newsletter
and/or direct mailings or product updates sent by these suppliers.
Third Party Advertising
We use other third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit
our Web site. These companies may use information (not including your
name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to
this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements on this site
and other sites about goods and services that may be of interest to you.
Career Center
Kenthe brings you the career development portion of our online marketplaces.
If you register for any of the services (excluding newsletter services
provided by Kenthe) offered on the career development portion of our online
marketplaces we will receive your registration information in order to
create your account and profile.
Orders
If you make a purchase through our site, the information obtained during
your visit to the site, and the information that you give, such as your
credit card number and contact information, is used for billing purposes
and to fill orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact
information is used to get in touch with the user. In addition, this contact
information is provided to third party suppliers and/or fulfillment agents
that service your orders and requests. Credit card information will be
shared with third parties only as necessary in order to provide the products
and services you order. Your contact information may also be provided
to the suppliers of content for free downloads of white papers, software
or other resources from any Kenthe websites. These third party suppliers,
fulfillment agents and merchants have separate privacy and data collection
practices, and Kenthe has no responsibility or liability for these independent
policies.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing
information associated with the user. We use cookies to be reminded of
who you are and to access your account information (stored on our computers)
in order to deliver to you a better and more personalized service. This
cookie is set when you register. Cookies are used by Kenthe on our
sites to help Kenthe track visits to and business at its stores and
process the items in your shopping basket. Cookies are also used to estimate
our audience size. Each browser accessing Kenthe is given a unique
cookie which is then used to determine repeat usage versus initial usage,
and to help in targeting ads based on user interests.
Third Party Cookies
In the course of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party
advertiser may place or recognize a unique "cookie" on your
browser that does not contain any information about the user.
IP Addresses
We use IP addresses for purposes of system administration, and to analyze
trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally
identifiable information.
Links
This web site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that Kenthe
is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other 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.
Tell an Associate
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about
our site, we ask them for the friend's email address. Kenthe will
automatically send the friend an email inviting them to visit the site.
Security
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information
(such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information
is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the
industry -- SSL. We use secure servers to protect all of your personal
information, including your name, address, email and credit card information.
It is generally considered safer than giving your information over the
phone. We process your credit card number over our secure server that
is the industry standard. Whenever we transmit any credit card information,
we use a completely secure transmission method. In order to further protect
your personal information, we store your credit card number in a separate
location from your registration information.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members are
not able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important
information about the service. We communicate with the user to provide
requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account
via email or phone.
Notification of Changes; Conflicts
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes
here so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. This
page reflects the most up-to-date version of our privacy policy, and thus
takes precedence over information provided in P3P documents and other
documents.
