carry out the services they are performing for Kingston Brass.
Kingston Brass may enhance or merge your information collected at its

or services to you.
In addition, Kingston Brass may be required to disclose
personal information in connection with law enforcement, fraud
prevention, regulation, and other legal action or if Kingston Brass
reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to protect Kingston
Brass, its customers, or the public.
You can opt-out of Kingston Brass's marketing list at any time
Periodically, we may send you information about our various
products and services, or other products and services we feel may be of
interest to you. Only Kingston Brass (or agents working on behalf of
Kingston Brass and under confidentiality agreements) will send you
these direct mailings. If you do not want to be included on Kingston
Brass's marketing list, simply tell us when you give us your personal
information. Or, at any time you can easily opt-out of Kingston
Brass's marketing list or update your information by clicking here.
Kingston Brass will not disclose your personal
information to any outside organization for its use in marketing
without your consent
Information regarding you (such as name, address and phone
number) or your order and the products you purchase will not be given
or sold to any outside organization for its use in marketing or

The online store at Kingston Brass.com is designed to give you
options concerning the privacy of your credit card information, name,

Brass is committed to data security with respect to information
collected on our site. We offer the industry standard security
measures available through your browser called SSL encryption, (please
see Kingston Brass's Store Security page for details on these security
measures). If at any time you would like to make a purchase, but do
not want to provide your credit card information online, you may
contact a sales representative over the telephone. Simply call
1-877-2KBRASS. It has always been a Kingston Brass practice to contact
customers in the event of a potential problem with your purchase or
any normal business communication regarding your purchase.
Customized Experience
We use technology to help us deliver customized visitor
experiences. At Kingston Brass, we primarily use "cookies" to help us
determine which service and support information is appropriate to your
machine and to maintain your shopping experience in our online store.
Our use of this technology does not mean that we automatically know
any information about you. We might be able to ascertain what type of
computer you are using, but beyond that, our use of cookies is designed
only to provide you with a better experience when using www.Kingston
Brass.com. Kingston Brass has no desire or intent to infringe on your
privacy while using the Kingston Brass.com site. For more information
about our use of cookies.
Third-Party Sites
Please be aware that other web sites that may be accessed
through our site may collect personally identifiable information about
you. The information practices of those third-party web sites linked
to Kingston Brass.com are not covered by this privacy statement. We
generally use the " " symbol to mark links that go to third-party
sites.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your
passwords or any account information. Please be careful and responsible
whenever you're online. If you post personal information online that
is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from
other parties in return. While we strive to protect your personal
information, Kingston Brass cannot ensure or warrant the security of
any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
Children's Privacy (Age 12 and Under)
Kingston Brass takes children's privacy seriously.
Kingston Brass does not seek to collect personal information
about children through its Web site. Kingston Brass does not condition
a child's participation in an activity on the disclosure of more
personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in
the activity.
If we become aware that a person submitting personal
information to us through any part of our Web site is a child, we
delete the information as soon as we discover it and do not use it for
any purpose, nor do we disclose it to third parties.
Since we do not seek to collect any personal information about
children, and we delete any information collected inadvertently as
soon as we discover that a child has submitted it, we typically retain
no information about children that could be reviewed or deleted. If a
parent requests review or deletion of information about their child
before we have discovered and deleted the information, then we will of
course honor that request.
Other Web sites
Kingston Brass's Web site contains links to other Web sites
that are not operated by Kingston Brass. Kingston Brass is not
responsible for the privacy practices of the Web sites that it does
not operate. Some parts of the Web site are animated using various
downloadable applications, such as Macromedia's Shockwave/Flash. We also
make video available through RealNetwork's Media-Player, and use the
video hosting services of Broadcast.com. Futures-Careers, Macromedia,
RealNetworks, and Broadcast.com operate under their own privacy and
security policies, and the way they may collect and use information
can be further evaluated at: www.macromedia.com , www.realnetworks.com
, and www.broadcast.com .
