Privacy Notice

Westcap Honda Power Equipment values your privacy and provides this Privacy Policy to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information we receive via the Westcap Honda Power Equipment website (the “Website”) from users such as yourself. 

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Website. Your use of the Website following any such notice will signify and constitute your assent to and acceptance of such revised Privacy Policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, capitalized terms used herein have the same meanings as in our Terms of Use.  Personal Information means information which personally identifies an individual.

This Privacy Policy explains what Personal Information we collect when you use the Website, how that Personal Information will be used, and what you can do to control the collection, use, and accuracy of your Personal Information.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the products or services of our business partners, or to any other third parties, even if their products or services are linked to, or embedded within, the Website.  We recommend that you review the privacy statements of the other parties with whom you interact before submitting your information to them.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means information that can be used to uniquely identify you, such as your name, address and/or e-mail address

 

Personal Information We Collect

When you interact with us, we may ask you to supply us with Personal Information.  For example, when you place an order through the Website, we may ask you to provide information such as your name, address and/or e-mail address in order to deliver requested materials to you, respond to your questions, or deliver a product or service to you.

When you order a product, we may request the following personal information:

  • Your name,
  • Your social security number,
  • Your e-mail address,
  • Your shipping address,
  • Your billing name and address, and
  • Your payment information.

We restrict access to Personal Information unless it is needed to complete a transaction that is authorized by you. Information may be shared with employees, agents, and contractors of Westcap Honda Power Equipment to assist in supplying materials, products, and services to you. Information is provided to nonaffiliated third parties as required by federal and state law. Westcap Honda Power Equipment maintains physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your non-public personal information.

If the Personal Information of a user of the Website changes, or if the user no longer desires to use the services on the Website, Westcap Honda Power Equipment will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user’s personal data. It is your responsibility to verify that your personal information is accurate.

 

How We Use Personal Information

We mainly use Personal Information, either alone or in combination with other information, so that we can provide, enhance and personalize our Website and related content.  Specifically, we use Personal Information to identify users for purposes of product delivery. 

If you make a purchase on the Website, we may save your Personal Information so that you can use it the next time you want to buy something on the Website.   

We may also use your Personal Information to communicate with you and to conduct research to improve the Website, such as to send you product information, newsletters, marketing materials, flyers, catalogs and other information that may be of interest to you, and to respond to your questions or comments. You can decide to stop getting these updates by updating your account settings (or through other settings we may provide).

You also may give us permission to access your information in other services. For example, you may link your Facebook or Twitter account to Westcap Honda Power Equipment, which allows us to obtain information from those accounts (like your friends or contacts). The information we get from those services often depends on your settings or their privacy policies, so be sure to check what those are.

 

Personal Information You Provide

Any Personal Information you submit to any page, forum, channel, or other public or semi-public component the Website becomes public information; you have no expectation of privacy or confidentiality in that information.  Therefore, we highly recommend you avoid posting Personal Information in any public space.  Even if we take down the posted Personal Information, copies may remain viewable in cached or archived pages.  Other users may save your Personal Information as well.  If you wish to remove Personal Information posted to a public or semi-public area of the Website, you may contact us via the information provided below.  We may remove that Personal Information at our own discretion with our without prior request, and we are not obligated to remove any such Personal Information.  If we are unable to or choose not to remove Personal Information in response to your request, we will do our best to explain which and why.

 

How We Share Personal Information with Third Parties

We do not share Personal Information we collect from visitors and users with third parties other than as described below without obtaining the respective visitors’ consent.

We do not and will not sell your information to third parties.

We may engage third party companies and individuals to perform services on our behalf (e.g., without limitation, payment processing, software maintenance services, e-mail notifications, product delivery services, database management, web analytics and other services). These third parties may have access to your Personal Information.  If they do, this access is provided so that they may perform these tasks on our behalf and they are not authorized by us to otherwise use or disclose your Personal Information, except to the extent required by law.  Your Personal Information will in these circumstances be kept confidential between Westcap Honda Power Equipment and the third party.

We also cooperate with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law as required. We will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including but not limited to subpoenas), to protect the property and rights of us or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, illegal, unethical or legally actionable.

We may share your Personal Information with any other third party with your prior consent to do so as described herein. 

Circumstances may arise where, whether for strategic or other business reasons, we may sell, transfer or otherwise disclose some or all of our assets, including your Personal Information, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy. It is Westcap Honda Power Equipment’s practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions.

 

Collection and Use of Non-Identifying Information

We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose information in a form that does not personally identify you (“Non-Identifying Information”) for any purpose.  Non-Identifying Information can include certain personally identifiable information that has been de-identified; that is, information that has been rendered anonymous or semi-anonymous. We and/or our third party service providers obtain Non-Identifying Information about you from information that you provide us, either separately or together with your Personal Information. We and/or our third party service providers also automatically collect certain Non-Identifying Information from you when you access Westcap Honda Power Equipment.

Certain Non-Identifying Information about you would be considered a part of your Personal Information if it were combined with other identifiers in a way that enables you to be personally identified. However, the same pieces of information are considered Non-Identifying Information when they are taken alone or combined only with other Non-Identifying information. We may combine your Personal Information with Non-Identifying Information and aggregate it with information collected from other users or sources to attempt to provide you with a better experience, to improve the quality and value of our products and services, to provide promotional material and special offers, and to analyze and understand how our products and services are used. We may also use the combined information without aggregating it to serve you specifically.

 

How We Store and Protect Personal Information

We may store Personal Information in locations outside of our direct control, such as on servers or databases of hosting providers or co-located with hosting providers. 

We use SSL encryption to encrypt sensitive Personal Information such as payment information before it travels over the Internet.  Likewise, we use reasonable encryption and security measures to protect sensitive Personal Information in rest.  We do not store credit card numbers on our database or servers.  The computers and servers that store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

We protect user-information off-line and data at rest. Only our employees who need the information to perform their jobs are granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, all of our employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.

To safeguard customer credit card information, we outsource card data collection and charging to secure external sites.  We do not collect or save credit card information ourselves at this time.

We take data security very seriously, and we will follow commercially reasonable and standard practices to protect any sensitive Personal Information.  However, because no method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, we cannot guarantee absolute security of personal information.  If you have any questions about our security practices, please contact us at the address listed below.

We process personal information on our servers in the United States of America.  Your Personal Information may be transferred to, and used by, entities located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction.  If you are located outside of the United States, such export is a requirement of providing your Personal Information to us.  By using our services, you consent to the export of the Personal Information you provide.

 

What Happens if Personal Information is Compromised

In the event that your Personal Information is compromised, we will promptly notify you of the existence and extent of the compromise to the best of our ability.  However, we do not accept liability for any unintentional disclosure or security breach of our systems or facilities.

 

Non-Identifying Information We Automatically Collect

We and our third-party service providers may use a variety of technologies that automatically record certain usage information. This information may include your Internet Protocol address (and other unique identifiers for the particular device you use to access the Internet), browser type, your web or application request, your interaction with our Website, your interaction with other websites and online services, the webpage or other feature you were using before you came to our Website, pages of our Website that you visit, information you search for via our Website, access times and dates, and other similar information. We use this information for a variety of purposes, including analyzing and enhancing our products and services, and to help personalize our Website for you. We do not treat this information as Personal Information (except to the extent required by local law), although if we combine it with the Personal Information you provide, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information.  We and our third-party service providers may automatically collect Non-Identifying Information using various methods, including, without limitation, cookies.

 

“Cookies” and other Tracking Technologies

Similar to most other websites, we gather and store certain information automatically such as IP addresses, browser information, Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exiting pages, operating system, date and time stamp, clickstream data, and other metrics.  We may link this information to other information we collect about you, including Personal Information and Non-Identifying Information.

A “cookie” is a small data file that can be placed on your hard drive when you visit certain websites. Westcap Honda Power Equipment, and our third party service providers, may use cookies to collect, store, and sometimes track information.  Other types of technologies are used for tracking, such as beacons, tags, and scripts.  We, as well as our partners and affiliates, may use these technologies for analytical and administrative purposes to help us understand trends and patterns.  We collect and use this information to make your experience on our site better and more user-friendly.

We use cookies and related technology to remember users’ settings and authentication, such as for logging in.  Users can control the use of cookies via their browser settings. 

Additionally, be aware that if you visit non-Westcap Honda Power Equipment websites, you may be required to accept cookies or other such tracking technologies. Our advertisers and partners may also use their own cookies or tracking technologies. We do not control use of these technologies and expressly disclaim responsibility for information collected through them.

Cookies may also allow this Website or other websites to present to you advertising which may be of interest to you. For example, visiting our site may result in Westcap Honda Power Equipment ads appearing on other websites.  If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, your browser should contain an option that allows you to disable or delete cookie data at any time.  

We may also use “customer-side page tagging”, which uses code on each page of the Website to write certain information about the page and the visitor to a log when a page is rendered to your browser. This technique is commonly used on commercial websites. “Tagging” does result in JavaScript or other customer-side code to be run on your computer, but it is limited to providing information about the page from our Website that you are requesting and the configuration of your browser. It will not read any of the data files on your computer or execute other functions. It does not extract any personal information about you. You can prevent tagging by disabling JavaScript in your browser, but that may prevent you from using any or all of the Website features.

 

Commitment to Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 via our Website, and do not target the Website to children under 13 or knowingly allow any children under 13 to use the Website. We encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests.  Children between the ages of 13 and 17 must use the Website with adult supervision.

If you believe that we have Personal Information about a child under 13, please let us know via the contact address below.
