Privacy
Policy
At
Chillicothe.com, we are committed to protecting the online privacy of
visitors to our websites. This Policy applies only to the websites and
online services provided by Chillicothe.com. This Policy does not cover
any interaction you may have with Chillicothe.com by telephone, postal
mail, or other offline communications. The purpose of this Policy is
to inform you about the types of information we gather about you when
you visit our websites, how we may use that information, and how we
disclose it to third parties.
Our websites are not designed for use by children without their parent's
supervision. We ask that anyone under the age of thirteen not submit
any personal information through our websites. We do not knowingly collect
any personal information from children under the age of thirteen, and
therefore we do not knowingly distribute such information to third parties.
Our websites may contain links to other websites, including websites
directed to children. We have no control over the privacy practices
or the content of any of our business partners, advertisers, sponsors
or other websites to which we provide links from our websites. You should
check the applicable privacy policy of the website sponsor when linking
to other websites.
I. Information That We Collect
Personal Information
At various locations on our websites, such as in registration forms,
message boards, surveys, and polls, we may request that you supply us
with "personal information," such as your name, email address,
mailing and shipping addresses, home or work telephone number, and/or
credit card information. You will always know when we are collecting
personal information, because we only collect personal information when
you voluntarily submit it to us through our online forms and questionnaires.
Although you do not have to provide us with any information to visit
our websites, you may not be able to fully utilize all of the services
on our websites if you choose not to provide certain information. If
you do choose to give us personal information through our websites,
we will collect and retain that information.
Non-Personal Information
When you use our websites, we may also collect "non-personal information,"
which is information that, by itself, cannot be used to identify or
contact you, such as demographic information (your age, gender, income,
education, profession, zip code, etc.). Non-personal information may
also include technical information, such as your IP address, the type
of browser you are using, the websites you visit immediately before
and immediately after you visit our websites, and other anonymous data
involving your use of our websites. Non-personal information may also
include information that you provide us through your use of our websites.
Email Communications
If you send us an email with questions or comments, we may use your
personal information to respond to your questions or comments, and we
may save your questions or comments for future reference.
Public Forums
We feature public forums such as chat rooms, message boards, bulletin
boards, or similar activities where you and other users of our websites
can communicate with one another. This Policy does not protect you when
you use these public forums or provide information (including personal
information) about yourself. Any information you share in a public forum
such as a chat room, message board, or bulletin board is public information
and may be seen or collected by anyone, including third parties that
do not adhere to our Privacy Policy. Chillicothe.com is not responsible
for events arising from the distribution of any information you choose
to publicly post or share through our websites.
Other Disclosures
We may disclose personal information when we are required or requested
to do so by law, court order or other government or law enforcement
authority or regulatory agency; to enforce or apply our rights and agreements;
or when we believe in good faith that disclosing this information is
necessary or advisable, including, for example, to protect the rights,
property, or safety of Chillicothe.com, our users, or others. We reserve
the right to use or disclose non-personal information in any way we
see fit.
IV. Security of the Information We Collect
The security of your personal information is important to us. We maintain
physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to secure your personal
information. However, "perfect security" does not exist on
the Internet, and there is always some risk in transmitting information
electronically. The personal information we collect is stored within
databases that we control. As we deem appropriate, we use security measures
consistent with industry standards, such as firewalls and encryption
technology, to protect your information. However, since no security
system is impenetrable, we cannot guarantee the security of our databases,
nor can we guarantee that information you supply won't be intercepted
while being transmitted to us over the Internet. Of course, any information
you post to any message board, discussion group, or other public posting
area on our websites is available to anyone with Internet access.
This Policy is effective as of March 23, 2006. We reserve the right
to change this Policy at any time, and will post any changes to this
Policy as soon as they go into effect. Please refer back to this Policy
on a regular basis.
