Our Privacy Policy
At
Santa Barbara Paddle Company, we recognize your
expectation
of privacy:
We
understand the importance of handling customer information
in
a professional and confidential manner. We know that privacy
is
an important element of our customers' confidence in us and
we
understand that our customers expect us to collect and
retain
personal financial information responsibly. The following
privacy
guidelines will explain how we manage customer
information
in order to meet these goals.
We
will collect information about customers in a
responsible
manner:
We
collect and retain information about individual customers
that
will assist us to manage our business
and
to provide exceptional service to our customers. When we
request
information from our customers or others, we believe
that
the information is useful to us or to our customers.
We
maintain customer information responsibly:
We
strive to maintain information about our customers that is
accurate,
complete, and current. We have established
procedures
to respond to customer requests to correct any
inaccurate
or incomplete information in a timely and responsible
manner.
We
limit employee access to customer information:
We
have business procedures and internal security controls
that
limit employee access to customer information. Only
employees
who need to access customer information for
business
reasons will be given access to our customer
information
systems. We will inform our employees about the
importance
of maintaining the confidentiality of customer
information
and we will take steps we deem appropriate to
implement
our business procedures.
We
have established security safeguards:
We
strive to maintain up-to-date security standards and
procedures
designed to assist us in preventing unauthorized
access
to customer information.
We
limit disclosure of customer information to unrelated
third
parties:
We
will not reveal specific information about our customers'
transactions
with us or other personally identifiable customer
information
to any other parties unless: (a) the information is
provided
to help complete a transaction initiated by you; (b) you
request
disclosure. We will inform our customers of
specific
rights to opt-out of the transfer of certain customer
information
where applicable.
We
ask others to maintain confidentiality:
If
personally identifiable customer information is provided to a
banking
or credit card institution or other entities with whom we have a business
relationship,
we will seek to require that such third party adhere
to
similar privacy principles to maintain the confidentiality of
customer
information and ensure the reliability and accuracy of
the
information.
