Privacy Policies
Date Last Updated: May 16, 2011
Introduction
Kenpo Connection is committed to protecting the privacy of our Visitors and Customers.
Our privacy policy governs our use of private Visitor information and
other information about our Visitors and Customers.
Purpose
Kenpo Connection believes that our online Visitors and Customers need to be provided clear and prominent notice regarding what personal
information is being collected about them, how it will be used, whether or not it will be disclosed,
and if so, to whom.
Many entities have examined the issue of privacy and developed guidelines for establishing
reasonable policies. We believe that by addressing these issues, we will fulfill the goals of fair
information use supported by the U.S. government and a variety of industry groups:
The Glossary of Terms at the end of this Policy defines words
with specific meaning as used in these guidelines.
Privacy Guidelines:
Navigational Data/Tracking.
- Kenpo Connection collects navigational data about where individual site visitors come
from, exit to, and go while on our website. We do not disclose this information to third parties,
except for those with whom we have contracted to analyze and safeguard the data on our behalf.
- We may use web browser "cookies" to track progress through
our Web site, but the cookies will not be used to collect or store individually identifiable
information nor be linked to other information that allows us to identify any specific individual.
However, we may use cookies with individual identifiers to support visitor enhancements such as
site personalization or other eCommerce features such as product recommendations and your shopping
cart.
Information Sharing/Disclosure.
- We do not share navigational data with outside companies, except with those with whom we have
contracted to analyze and safeguard the data on our behalf.
- We do not disclose individual names or customer contact information (such as telephone
numbers, email address, or various personal identification numbers), to any third party without
your prior consent, except as required by law, or as needed to fulfill an order or deliver a
product that a customer has ordered.
- Service partners will abide by Kenpo Connection's privacy policies.
- Additionally, we may share information with law enforcement agencies or other companies
assisting us in fraud prevention or investigations.
- In support of maintaining a safe and secure environment for credit card purchases, it is
essential to our customers that we use credit card and other billing account numbers only for the
fulfillment of purchases or other transactions initiated by our Customers. We do not use credit
card or other billing account numbers in other ways without your prior consent.
- We do not release to third parties specific customer account information except to comply with
valid legal process or in reasonable efforts to fulfill a transaction initiated by our Customers.
- We provide Customers with the opportunity to update or correct contact and billing
information.
We provide to our customers a means to update and ensure the accuracy of
their online contact and billing information. For security reasons, we will not disclose the
original information directly to the customer, but rather provide a means to reenter changes to
the information on record.
Online Purchases.
The objective of the online purchases principle is to protect the information about customer
transactions and other online uses from misuse and unauthorized disclosure.
When we facilitate a transaction which is to be fulfilled by an outside party, we will not use the
specific, individually identifiable transaction information collected from a customer for purposes
other than fulfilling the transaction without your prior consent.
We do not sell or rent customer contact information to anyone. Safeguarding Personal Information.
The objective of the safeguarding personal information principle is to take reasonable steps to
protect your privacy using a variety of security procedures and controls. We use specialized
technology, privacy protection controls and restrictions on employee access in an effort to safeguard
your personal information.
- We implement a variety of security measures to safeguard personal consumer information. Among
other things, we employ Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to keep sensitive data secure in
transit between your computer and our web servers. To learn more about SSL data encryption and
how it helps to secure your personal information, click

- We do not allow our employees to access personal information unless such access is warranted
by business necessity.
- We also require companies contracted as agents to take reasonable steps to safeguard any
personal consumer information they handle on our behalf.
- We require employees to acknowledge that they understand and will comply with our privacy
policy.
Notice.
We will keep you informed, clearly and prominently on this page, about what we do with your
personal information, and we will advise you here if we change our policy. The objective of the notice
principle is to ensure that you are aware of and understand how we protect your privacy.
- We explain to visitors and customers how their information is used by providing this written
privacy policy for our visitors and customers.
- We notify customers of our privacy policy during registration if registration is required,
when they make a purchase.
- We provide written notice of policy changes through prominent and ongoing disclosure.
- We provide a means for Visitors and Customers to ask questions about, voice concerns about, or
report violations of the privacy policy.
If you have questions or concerns about our privacy policy, or to report a suspected violation of
our privacy policy, you may contact us by the following means:
