COLLECTION OF INFORMATION & USE THEREOF

It is Blaw-Knox Corporation’s policy to respect and protect the privacy of visitors to Blaw-Knox Corporation’s website. Accordingly, Blaw-Knox Corporation DOES NOT extract without permission personal information about its visitors or their computer at any time while on Blaw-Knox Corporation’s website. Blaw-Knox Corporation will, however, analyze information about our visitors as a group to make our website better, but visitors are not individually identified when we do this.

Blaw-Knox Corporation will collect personal information such as names, home addresses, e-mail addresses, age, etc., but only when a visitor voluntarily gives it to us in the process of ordering subscriptions to the Blaw-Knox Corporation newsletters or registering with the Blaw-Knox Corporation website. This information is used internally by Blaw-Knox Corporation to fulfill your requests and for marketing and research purposes. Blaw-Knox Corporation will NOT sell, rent or give a visitor’s personal information to any third party unless Blaw-Knox Corporation asks for and receives the visitor’s permission at the time the personal information is collected. Blaw-Knox Corporation does however, share aggregate information about the users of Blaw-Knox Corporation’s website with our advertisers, business partners, sponsors and certain others. As mentioned above, this aggregate information is used to develop, improve and customize Blaw-Knox Corporation’s website to better serve visitors to our website. Where www.blawknox.com’s information collection activities involve children, www.blawknox.com provides special privacy protections.

Blaw-Knox Corporation is committed to protecting the online privacy of children. In accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), Blaw-Knox Corporation will not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen (13) without first obtaining parental consent. Prior to providing any personally identifiable information (your name, email address, address, phone number etc.), either by placing an order for merchandise, setting up a www.blawknox.com account, or participating in any other activity offered through the www.blawknox.com site, children under the age of thirteen (13) must have a parent or legal guardian complete and return (by mail or fax) a Parental Consent Form to www.blawknox.com – Blaw-Knox Corporation, 5201 North Orange Blossom Trail, Orlando, Florida 32810; or by fax to: 407.578.0577. The consent form states that the child’s “Parent” or “Legal Guardian”, by his or her signature, consents to the collection and transfer of the child’s personally identifiable information. Consent may be revoked by completing a “Blaw-Knox Corporation Revocation of Parental Consent Form” and sending it to the address or fax number above.

In compliance with COPPA, Blaw-Knox Corporation is sensitive about children consulting with parents or guardians before furnishing personal information or ordering anything online. It’s also Blaw-Knox Corporation’s intention to adhere to the Children’s Advertising Review Unit (CARU) Guidelines on Internet advertising with its special sensitivities regarding solicitations to children under thirteen (13). Blaw-Knox Corporation encourages parents/guardians to supervise and join their children in exploring cyberspace. Blaw-Knox Corporation is proud of its website and believes that it is suitable for Blaw-Knox Corporation fans of all ages.

Please note that if a parent does not permit www.blawknox.com’s use or collection of personally identifiable information or has instructed Blaw-Knox Corporation to delete personally identifiable information, a child’s participation in those www.blawknox.com activities for which the personally identifiable information has been requested may not be possible.

Blaw-Knox Corporation will not disclose information collected from children under the age of thirteen (13) (or from adults for that matter) to third parties unless indicated otherwise or in special cases where Blaw-Knox Corporation has reason to believe that disclosure is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference (whether intentionally or unintentionally) with Blaw-Knox Corporation’s rights or property or anyone else who may be harmed by such actions or if required by law.

Blaw-Knox Corporation recommends that parents/guardians monitor and supervise the online activities of their children and to consider using available parental control tools which can prevent children from disclosing their name, address, and other personal information without parental permission. Visitors to Blaw-Knox Corporation’s website who are under thirteen (13) years old should not be submitting any personal information like their name, address, e-mail address, phone number etc. without a parent’s or guardian’s permission.

SECURITY

The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated with www.blawknox.com visitors is of utmost concern to us.

Blaw-Knox Corporation periodically reviews and updates these measures. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be one hundred percent (100%) secure.
