1. Sites covered by this Privacy Statement
This Privacy Statement applies
to all Stephen Kingery & Associates-owned websites and domains and
the websites and domains of our wholly owned subsidiaries ("Stephen
Kingery & Associates website"). Stephen Kingery & Associates
owns and operates the following Web sites:
Links to non-Stephen Kingery & Associates websites
The Stephen Kingery &
Associates website may provide links to third-party websites for
your convenience and information. If you access those links, you
will leave the Stephen Kingery & Associates website. Stephen Kingery
& Associates does not control those sites or their privacy
practices, which may differ from Stephen Kingery & Associates'
practices. We do not endorse or make any representations about
third-party websites. The personal data you choose to provide to or
that is collected by these third parties is not covered by the
Stephen Kingery & Associates Privacy Statement. We encourage you to
review the privacy policy of any company before submitting your
personal information.
2. Collection of personal information
To serve you better and understand your
needs and interests, Stephen Kingery & Associates collects, exports,
and uses personal information with adequate notice and consent,
along with required filings with data protection authorities, when
applicable. For example, when you order products or services, apply
for instant credit, request information, subscribe to marketing or
support materials, register yourself, enter contests or participate
in surveys, or apply for a job at Stephen Kingery & Associates, we
will ask you to provide personal information to complete these
transactions. The types of personal information you provide to us on
these pages may include contact information such as your name,
address, telephone number, and email address; financial information
such as your credit card number; and other unique information such
as user IDs and passwords, billing and transaction information,
product and service preferences, contact preferences, educational
and employment background, and job interest data.
If you choose to use a tell-a-friend program on our site, we will
ask you for your friend’s e-mail address and automatically send your
friend a one-time e-mail inviting your friend to visit the site.
Stephen Kingery & Associates uses and stores this information only
for the purpose of sending this one-time e-mail and to provide
tell-a-friend message blocking, where available.
In addition to the information you provide, Stephen Kingery &
Associates may also collect information during your visit to a
Stephen Kingery & Associates website through our Automatic Data
Collection Tools, which include Web beacons, cookies, embedded Web
links, and other commonly used information-gathering tools. These
tools collect certain standard information that your browser sends
to our website such as your browser type and language, access times,
and the address of the website from which you arrived at a Stephen
Kingery & Associates website. They may also collect information
about your Internet Protocol (IP) address, clickstream behavior
(i.e. the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions you
take in connection with Stephen Kingery & Associates websites) and
product information. An IP address is a number that is automatically
assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing
Web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers use IP
addresses to communicate on the Internet, allowing users to browse
and shop. Stephen Kingery & Associates may also use some of these
Automatic Data Collection Tools in connection with certain emails
sent from Stephen Kingery & Associates and therefore may collect
information using these tools when you open the email or click on a
link contained in the email.
Stephen Kingery & Associates also collects
information from commercially available sources that it deems
credible. Such information may include your name, address, email
address and demographic data. The information Stephen Kingery &
Associates collects from its commercial sources may be used along
with the information Stephen Kingery & Associates collects when you
visit Stephen Kingery & Associates’ websites. For example, Stephen
Kingery & Associates may compare the geographic information acquired
from commercial sources with the IP address collected by Automatic
Data Collection Tools to derive your general geographic area.
3. How we use your information

your privacy preferences regarding the communications we send.
The testimonials posted on our Web site are only posted with the
expressed permission of the individual or company who provided that
testimonial.
Credit card information is used only for
payment processing and fraud prevention. Credit card information and
other sensitive personal information required to process a credit
decision is not used for any other purpose by our financial services
providers or Stephen Kingery & Associates and will not be kept
longer than necessary for providing the services, unless you ask us

4. How we share your information
Stephen Kingery & Associates will not sell,
rent or lease your personal information to others except as
described in this Statement. Stephen Kingery & Associates shares
personal information in the following ways:
Stephen Kingery & Associates retains service
providers and suppliers to deliver complete products, services and
customer solutions and to assist Stephen Kingery & Associates with
marketing and communication initiatives. These providers and
suppliers include, for example, credit card processors, providers of
customer support and live-help, email service providers, automated
data processors, and shipping agents. Suppliers and service
providers are required by contract to keep confidential the
information received on behalf of Stephen Kingery & Associates and
may not use it for any purpose other than to carry out the services
they are performing for Stephen Kingery & Associates.
From time to time, Stephen Kingery &
Associates participates in marketing initiatives with other
companies. As part of these initiatives, certain Stephen Kingery &
Associates services and marketing communications are delivered at
the same time as those from other companies. Some of these services
and communications offer you the option to share personal
information with both Stephen Kingery & Associates and the other
companies participating in these initiatives. For example, you may
receive marketing communications from Stephen Kingery & Associates
and other companies or have the opportunity to register online for
software products from multiple companies. If you choose to provide
personal information only to Stephen Kingery & Associates, Stephen
Kingery & Associates will not share this information with the other
companies participating in that marketing initiative. If you choose
to provide personal information to the other companies, that
personal information will be handled according to the privacy policy
of those companies.
Stephen Kingery & Associates will require
the export of your personal information to other Stephen Kingery &
Associates-owned business entities in the US and Worldwide in
accordance with this Statement to satisfy your request. Such export
is a requirement of providing the information to Stephen Kingery &
Associates.
Except as described in this Statement, Stephen Kingery & Associates
will not share the personal information you provide to Stephen
Kingery & Associates with non-Stephen Kingery & Associates third
parties without your permission, unless to: (i) respond to duly
authorized information requests of police and governmental
authorities; (ii) comply with any law, regulation, subpoena, or
court order; (iii) help prevent fraud or to enforce or protect the
rights and properties of Stephen Kingery & Associates or its
subsidiaries; or (iv) protect the personal safety of Stephen Kingery
& Associates employees and third parties on Stephen Kingery &
Associates property.
Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other
business reasons, Stephen Kingery & Associates decides to sell, buy,
merge or otherwise reorganize businesses in some countries. Such a
transaction may involve the disclosure of personal information to
prospective or actual purchasers, or the receipt of it from sellers.
It is Stephen Kingery & Associates’ practice to seek appropriate
protection for information in these types of transactions.
5. Children's privacy

does not knowingly collect information from children under the age
of 18 and does not target its websites to children under 18.

reasonable access to personal information that they provided to
Stephen Kingery & Associates and the reasonable ability to review
and correct it or ask for anonymization, blockage, or deletion, as
applicable. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take

appropriate use of the information, Stephen Kingery & Associates
utilizes appropriate physical, technical and administrative
procedures to safeguard the information we collect.
We use Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) encryption when collecting or transferring sensitive
information such as credit card information. SSL encryption is
designed to make the information unreadable by anyone but us. This
security measure is working when you see the symbol of either an
unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser) at the
bottom of your browser window.
Credit card numbers are used only for
processing payments and are not used for other purposes. As part of
real-time payment processing, Stephen Kingery & Associates
subscribes to a fraud management service. This service gives you and
Stephen Kingery & Associates an extra level of security to guard
against credit card fraud and to protect your financial data.
