PRIVACY POLICY
Your privacy is very important to us. At Chambers we have a few fundamental principles that we follow:
- We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
- We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
- We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of our site.
The H. Chambers Company (“Chambers”) operates several websites including www.chambersusa.com, www.clubviewblog.com, and www.cciclubdesign.com. It is Chambers’ policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
WEBSITE VISITORS
Like most website operators, Chambers collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Chambers’ purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Chambers’ visitors use its website. From time to time, Chambers may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Chambers also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on our blogs. Chambers only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
GATHERING OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION
Certain visitors to Chambers’ websites choose to interact with Chambers in ways that require Chambers to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Chambers gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who comment on our blog to provide a name and email address. Those who wish to receive Chambers updates via email, we collect their emails. In each case, Chambers collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Chambers. Chambers does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
AGGREGATED STATISTICS
Chambers may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, Chambers may monitor the most popular pages on the website or use spam screening services to help identify spam. Chambers may display this information publicly or provide it to others; however, Chambers does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
PROTECTION OF CERTAIN PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION
Chambers discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Chambers’ behalf or to provide services available at Chambers’ websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Chambers’ websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Chambers will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Chambers discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Chambers believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Chambers, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Chambers website and have supplied your email address, Chambers may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Chambers and our products. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Chambers takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
COOKIES
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Chambers uses cookies to help Chambers identify and track visitors, their usage of Chambers website, and their website access preferences. Chambers visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Chambers’ websites, with the drawback that certain features of Chambers’ websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
BUSINESS TRANSFERS
If Chambers, or substantially all of its assets were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Chambers goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Chambers may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
COMMENTS
Comments and other content submitted to an anti-spam service are not saved on our servers unless they were marked as false positives, in which case we store them long enough to use them to improve the service to avoid future false positives.
PRIVACY POLICY CHANGES
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Chambers may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Chambers’ sole discretion. Chambers encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
