Privacy Statement
Watkins Innovative Solutions
and all domains owned
and operated by Watkins Innovative Solutions strives to offer its
visitors the many advantages of Internet technology and to provide an
interactive and personalized experience. We may use Personally
Identifiable Information (your name, e-mail address, street address,
telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy
policy. "We will never sell, barter, or rent your email
address to any unauthorized third party. Period."
How
we gather information from users
How we collect and store
information depends on the page you are visiting, the activities in
which you elect to participate and the services provided. For example,
you may be asked to provide information when you register for access to
certain portions of our site or request certain features, such as
newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information
when you participate in sweepstakes and contests, message boards and
chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site.
Watkins Innovative Solutions and WIS Domains Web sites also collect
information automatically and through the use of electronic tools that
may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of
your Internet Service Provider or use cookie technology to recognize
you and hold information from your visit. Among other things, the
cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having
to re-enter that information each time you visit, or may control the
number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting
our site.
As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information
through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not to provide us
with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to
accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain
portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name and
password, and we may not be able to customize the site?s features
according to your preferences.
What
we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we
collect information to enhance your visit and deliver more
individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do
not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information
(information that does not personally identify you) may be used in many
ways. For example, we may combine information about your usage patterns
with similar information obtained from other users to help enhance our
site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most or what
features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally
be shared with our advertisers and business partners. Again, this
information does not include any Personally Identifiable Information
about you or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally
Identifiable Information collected on Watkins Innovative Solutions
websites to communicate with you about your registration and
customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy policy;
services and products offered by Watkins Innovative Solutions websites
and other topics we think you might find of interest.
Personally Identifiable
Information collected by Watkins Innovative Solutions Web sites may
also be used for other purposes, including but not limited to site
administration, troubleshooting, processing of e-commerce transactions,
administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications
with you. Certain third parties who provide technical support for the
operation of our site (our Web hosting service for example) may access
such information. We will use your information only as permitted by
law.
In addition, from time to time as we continue to develop our business,
we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses.
In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred
assets. We may also disclose your information in response to a court
order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do
so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to
us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it
appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with
notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated
sites, linked sites and advertisements
Watkins Innovative Solutions
expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to respect the privacy
of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including our
partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers
accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and data
collection policies and practices. For example, during your visit to
our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a Watkins
Innovative Solutions Web site page, certain content that is actually
created or hosted by a third party. Also, through a Watkins Innovative
Solutions web site page you may be introduced to, or be able to access,
information, Web sites, features, contests or sweepstakes offered by
other parties. Watkins Innovative Solutions is not responsible for the
actions or policies of such third parties. You should check the
applicable privacy policies of those third parties when providing
information on a feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our
advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may use
cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of your
preferences or retrieve information about you. For example, some of our
advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies that
enable the advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular
advertisement before. Other features available on our site may offer
services operated by third parties and may use cookies or other
technology to gather information. Watkins Innovative Solutions does not
control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting
information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such
third parties.
You should also be aware that
if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable Information on
message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed
publicly and can be collected and used by third parties without our
knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals
or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of Watkins
Innovative Solutions and this policy.

Watkins Innovative Solutions
does not knowingly collect or solicit Personally Identifiable
Information from or about children under 13 except as permitted by law.
