Information Collected

Our system routinely collects information about origin and site navigation of Website visitors. This information is used only to help us continually modify the site based on use patterns and is not linked to any personal identifying information. This helps us give you a superior web product.

We do not collect any identifying or personal data on site users unless that information is submitted as part of a request for service or information, such as requesting an appointment. KIRK EQUIPMENT does not currently use "cookies." A "cookie" is a text file placed on the browser of Website visitor to identify Web site use patterns.

Use of Collected Information

Information about Website use patterns will be utilized by the Internet Strategies team and other appropriate KIRK EQUIPMENT staff to modify and enhance the Website. Identifying individual information such as name, e-mail, and address will be used only as requested by the visitor. If a visitor submits identifying information, only appropriate KIRK EQUIPMENT staff will be involved in implementing the requested activity.

If Website users do not wish to have any "cookies" attached to their browser, they may disable cookies through their browser or Internet Service Provider (ISP).

E-mail Security

The KIRK EQUIPMENT Website offers opportunities to communicate with some KIRK EQUIPMENT programs by e-mail. Because normal e-mail is not encrypted, the possibility exists that unauthorized individuals may intercept e-mail messages with KIRK EQUIPMENT. Kirk Equipment Company is not responsible for privacy of e-mail messages except those stored in our system.

KIRK EQUIPMENT would never ask for personal information such as social security numbers or bank account information through email communications. Should you ever receive such a request, you should contact the Internet Crime Complaint Center, which is a partnership between the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center.
