PRIVACY STATEMENT
Last
Updated: March 24th, 2006
Key
Traffic Systems Ltd (collectively referred to in this Privacy Statement
as "we" or "KTS") recognises the importance of protecting the privacy of
all information provided by users of our web sites, registrants for our
events, training courses and seminars, recipients of our e-mail
newsletters and all other customers of our products and services. We
created this policy with a fundamental respect for our customers' right
to privacy and to guide our relationships with our customers. This
Privacy Statement discloses the privacy practices for all products and
services owned by KTS.
Any
questions which you may have regarding this privacy policy should be
directed to Key Traffic Systems Ltd at the address given at the bottom
of this Policy Statement.
INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
KTS collects information from our customers and our website users. In
this section of our Privacy Statement, we describe the type of
information we collect and how we use it to provide better services to
our customers.
REGISTRATION AND ORDERING
When attending our trade shows and other in-person events, using our
website and signing up for certain selected services (such as
notification of offers), users must first register. During registration,
users are required to give their contact information (such as name,
e-mail address, postal address and phone number). For internal purposes,
we use this information to communicate with users and provide requested
services, and, for our website visitors, to provide an interactive
experience, and access to some of our services such as technical
support. We may also collect demographic information (such as job title
and purchasing responsibilities, company information and professional
certification).
For
our services that require payment (such as certain events, products and
subscriptions), we also collect credit card information (such as account
name, number and expiration date), which is used for our or our agent's
invoicing purposes only, and is not otherwise shared.
E-MAIL
NEWSLETTERS
If users wish to subscribe to our e-mail newsletters, we ask for contact
information (such as name, e-mail address and, occasionally, demographic
information). We use this information in the same manner as we use
contact information in the registration and ordering process described
above. Recipients of our newsletters can unsubscribe using the
instructions listed at the end of the e-mail newsletter.
SURVEYS AND CONTESTS
From time to time we invite web site users and other customers to
provide information via surveys or contests. Participation in these
surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the website user or
other customer therefore has a choice whether to disclose requested
contact information (such as name and postal address) and demographic
information (such as job title). In addition to the other uses set out
in this policy, contact information collected in connection with surveys
and contests may be used to notify the winners and award prizes and to
monitor or improve the use of, and satisfaction with the website or
other KTS product or service. Subject to the given customer's
preferences (as described in the "Permission" section below), such
information also may be shared with third party sponsors of such surveys
or contests.
INTERACTIVE FEATURES
We may offer interactive, community features such as a Technical Support
Request system, or discussion boards on the KTS web site. Note that all
personal information sent or posted via such features becomes public
information for which we are not responsible. Discussion boards may be
monitored by KTS.
COMMUNICATIONS WITH US
We have features where our customers can submit information to us, such
as our Technical Support Request (TSR) or feedback forms. Where such
submissions include requests for service, support or information, we may
forward them to our agents, as needed, to best respond to the specific
request. In addition, we may retain e-mails and other information sent
to us for our internal administrative purposes, and to help us to
improve our services and products. Please note that letters to KTS and
similar submissions may be made public.
COMMUNICATIONS WITH US: SERVICE UPDATES, SPECIAL OFFERS
In order to best serve our customers, we may send updates that contain
important information about our and our agents’ products and services.
For example, we send new members a welcoming message, and verify
password and username for our password-protected web site. We may also
communicate with a customer to provide requested services and for
account-related issues via e-mail, phone or post. In addition to such
service and product-essential messages, we offer our customers the
option to receive information about our company, related products,
services and special offers. Users, however, can choose not to receive
these communications from us, as set forth in the "Permission" section
below.
DATA
COLLECTION
Our web sites, newsletters and, from time to time, certain other
products and services have features that may automatically collect
information from customers, to deliver content specific to customers'
interests and to honour their preferences. This information assists us
in creating products and services that will serve the needs of our
customers.
For
example, we may use "cookies," a piece of data stored on the user's hard
drive containing information about the user. If users reject the
cookies, they may be limited in the use of some areas of our web site.
For
our internal purposes, we may gather date, time, browser type,
navigation history and IP address of all visitors to our web sites. This
information does not contain anything that can identify users
personally. We use this information for our internal security audit log,
trend analysis and system administration, and to gather broad
demographic information about our user base for aggregate use.
We may
combine demographic information supplied by a customer at registration,
with web site usage data to provide general profiles, in aggregate
non-personally identifiable form, about our customers and their
preferences in the content of the site. We do not share this composite
information with any third party.
Information which you submit via our website is stored on a computer and
sometimes on paper at our offices located in the UK. This is necessary
in order to process the information and to send you any information you
have requested.
KTS
will not hold data for longer than is reasonably necessary for the
purposes of the proper conduct of its business or as required by law.
WITH
WHOM YOUR INFORMATION IS SHARED
We do not share credit card information with third parties.
We do
not share personally identifiable information with third parties, apart
from those acting as our agents in providing our product(s)/service(s),
and which agree to use it only for that purpose and to keep the
information secure and confidential. Also, our subsidiary and affiliate
companies, entities into which our company may be merged, or entities to
which any of our assets, products, sites or operations may be
transferred, will be able to use personal information. We will also
disclose information we maintain when required to do so by law or other
legal obligation, in response to a law enforcement agency's request, or
in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this
information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action
against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with
(either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property. Users
should also be aware that courts of equity, such as Bankruptcy Courts,
might have the authority under certain circumstances to permit personal
information to be shared or transferred to third parties without
permission.
We do
not share aggregate information, which is not personally identifiable,
with others.
CORRECTION/UPDATING PERSONAL INFORMATION
If the information about you that we hold changes, or if you no longer
desire our product(s)/service(s), you may contact Customer Support for
the applicable product or service.
PERMISSION
Our customers will be given the opportunity to choose whether to receive
information from us not directly related to the product(s)/service(s)
for which they are registered (or which they otherwise agreed to
receive). Customers also can go at any time, to
http://www.keytraffic.com to change their contact details or contact
Customer Support.
Please note that we will endeavour to implement your permission requests
within a reasonable time, although for a time you may continue to
receive communications, etc., transmitted based on information released
prior to the implementation of your request.
SECURITY
KTS
places great importance on the security of all information associated
with its customers and use reasonable precautions to protect our
customers' personal information and to store it securely. Sensitive
information that is transmitted to us online (such as credit card
number) is encrypted and is transmitted to us securely. In addition,
access to all of our customers' information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, is restricted. Only employees who need the
information to perform a specific job (for example, a billing clerk or a
customer service representative) are granted access to personally
identifiable information. Finally, the servers on which we store
personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
LINKS
Our web sites contain links to other sites. KTS is not responsible for
the privacy practices or content of such other sites. We encourage our
users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each web site to which we may link that may collect
personally identifiable information.
NOTIFICATION AND CHANGES
If we change our Privacy Statement, we will post those changes on this
page so our users are aware of what information we collect, how we use
it and under which circumstances, if any, we disclose it. Users should
check this policy frequently to keep abreast of any changes.
