| Our
Privacy Policy was developed as an extension of our commitment to
combine the highest-quality products and services with the highest
level of integrity in dealing with our clients and partners. The Policy
is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use and
safeguard the personal information you provide to us and to assist
you in making informed decisions when using our site and our products
and services. This statement will be continuously assessed against
new technologies, business practices and our customers' needs.
What Information Do We Collect?
When you visit our Web site you may provide us with two types of
information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose
that is collected on an individual basis and Web site use information
collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our Web
site.
1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide
Credit Information
If you choose to purchase products or services from us or our partners,
you may need to give personal information and authorization to obtain
information from various credit services. For example, you may need
to provide the following information:
· Name
· Mailing address
· Email address
· Home and business phone number
· Other personal information (i.e. mother's maiden name)
Alcyon Capital Management Inc. recognizes your right to confidentiality
and is committed to protecting your privacy. We will not give, rent,
loan, or sell any identifiable personal information to any other
third party, unless legally required to do so.
We may store and process that information to better understand your
needs and how we can improve our products and services.
Email Information
In addition to providing the foregoing information to our partners,
if you choose to correspond further with us through email, we may
retain the content of your email messages together with your email
address and our responses. We provide the same protections for these
electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of information
received by mail and telephone.
2. Web Site Use Information
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide
to Us?
Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering
our business activities, providing customer service and making available
other products and services to our customers and prospective customers.
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify
you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special
offers we think you will find valuable. The lists used to send you
product and service offers are developed and managed under our traditional
corporate standards designed to safeguard the security and privacy
of our customers' personal information. As a customer, you will
be given the opportunity, at least once annually, to notify us of
your desire not to receive these offers.
What Are Cookies? Cookies are a feature of Web browser software
that allows Web servers to recognize the computer used to access
a Web site. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by
a user's Web browser on the user's hard drive. Cookies can remember
what information a user accesses on one Web page to simplify subsequent
interactions with that Web site by the same user or to use the information
to streamline the user's transactions on related Web pages. This
makes it easier for a user to move from Web page to Web page and
to complete commercial transactions over the Internet. Cookies should
make your online experience easier and more personalized.
3. Non-Personal Information
In some cases, we may collect information about you that is not
personally identifiable. Examples of this type of information include
the type of Internet browser you are using, the type of computer
operating system you are using, and the domain name of the Web site
from which you linked to our Web site.
IP Addresses
Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name
and a set of numbers that serve as that computer's "Internet
Protocol," or IP, address. When a visitor requests a page from
any Web site within a Alcyon Capital Management Inc. domain, our
Web servers automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and
IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal
about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed
our site. We use this information to examine our traffic in aggregate,
but do not collect and evaluate this information for individuals.
Our Web servers do not record email addresses of the visitors.
Sharing Information with Affiliates
From time to time you may notice offers from outside companies advertised
on our Web site. We take measures to select product or service providers
that are responsible and afford privacy protections to their customers.
However, we cannot make any representations about the practices
and policies of these companies.
Sharing Information with Strategic Partners
We may enter into strategic marketing alliances or partnerships
with third parties who may be given access to personal information
including your name, address, telephone number and email for the
purpose of providing you information regarding products and services
that we think will be of interest to you. In connection with strategic
marketing alliances or partnerships, we will retain all ownership
rights to the information, and we will not share information regarding
your social security number or other personal financial data.
Notice of New Services and Changes
Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify
you about important changes to our Web site, new services and special
offers we think you will find valuable. As our client, you will
be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not to receive
these offers by clicking on a response box when you receive such
an offer or by sending us an email request at webmaster@alcyoncapital.com.
How Do We Secure Information Transmissions?
When you send confidential personal credit information to us on
our Web site, a secure server software which we have licensed encrypts
all information you input before it is sent to us. The information
is scrambled en route and decoded once it reaches our Web site.
Other email that you may send to us may not be secure unless we
advise you that security measures will be in place prior to your
transmitting the information. For that reason, we ask that you do
not send confidential information such as Social Security or account
numbers to us through an unsecured email.
How Do We Protect Your Information?
Alcyon Capital Management Inc. uses industry standard efforts to
safeguard the confidentiality of your personally identifiable information,
such as firewalls and Secure Socket Layers. However, "perfect
security" does not exist on the Internet.
Evaluation of Information Protection Practices. Periodically, our
operations and business practices are reviewed for compliance with
corporate policies and procedures governing the security, confidentiality
and quality of our information.
Employee Access, Training and Expectations. Our corporate values,
ethical standards, policies and practices are committed to the protection
of customer information. In general, our business practices limit
employee access to confidential information, and limit the use and
disclosure of such information to authorized persons, processes
and transactions.
How Can You Access and Correct Your Information?
You may request access to all your personally identifiable information
that we collect online and maintain in our database by emailing
webmaster@alcyoncapital.com.
Do We Disclose Information to Outside Parties?
We may provide aggregate information about our customers, sales,
Web site traffic patterns and related Web site information to our
affiliates or reputable third parties, but this information will
not include personally identifying data, except as otherwise provided
in this Privacy Policy.
What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of
Information?
We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in
other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires
it or for the protection of our legal rights.
What About Other Web Sites Linked to Our
Web Site?
We are not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked
to or from our Web site nor the information or content contained
therein. Often links to other Web sites are provided solely as pointers
to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our
Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from our Web site
to another Web site, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect.
Your browsing and interaction on any other Web site, including Web
sites which have a link on our Web site, is subject to that Web
site's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and
policies before proceeding.
Your Consent
By using our Web site you consent to our collection and use of your
personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we
change our privacy policies and procedures, we will post those changes
on our Web site to keep you aware of what information we collect,
how we use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it.
