We at The Kite Loft are committed to respecting your online privacy and recognize your need for appropriate protection and management of any personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") you share with us. The Kite Loft has established this Online Privacy Policy so that you can understand the care with which we intend to treat your Personal Information.

Personal Information means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to, a first and last name, a home or other physical address and an email address or other contact information, whether at work or at home.

In general, you can visit The Kite Loft's Web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself. The Kite Loft 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 solicitation without your consent.

Internet Commerce

The Kite Loft 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. 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 1-800-682-5483. It has always been a Kite Loft practice to contact customers in the event of a potential problem with your purchase or any normal business communication regarding your purchase.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Some of our Web pages utilize "cookies" and other tracking technologies. A "cookie" is a small text file that may be used, for example, to collect information about Web site activity. 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.kiteloft.com. The Kite Loft has no desire or intent to infringe on your privacy while using the www.kiteloft.com site. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID and password to gain access to certain parts of the Web site. Tracking technologies may record information such as Internet domain and host names; Internet protocol (IP) addresses; browser software and operating system types; clickstream patterns; and dates and times that our site is accessed. Our use of cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our Web site and your Web experience. We may also analyze information that does not contain Personal Information for trends and statistics.

Web Cam
Our web cam is provided to everyone for their viewing enjoyment, free of charge by The Kite Loft. Everyday we have thousands of viewers that place great strain on our bandwidth and servers. By asking people to login to use the cam we can determine where viewers are coming from and the peak times that our servers are required. This will only help us to maintain the best web cam in Maryland given the fact that our viewer count is growing rapidly. We adhere to a strict privacy policy and have not and will not use this info to spam our customers or cam viewers. Nor will we sell this information to anyone under any circumstance. In addition this change of requiring people to logon has absolutely nothing to do with trying to make money from our web cam viewers. Only people that have signed up for our Kite Loft news letter will receive email from us. We clearly understand everyone’s reluctance to give out their email address but unfortunately, in order to continue with this project it has become a necessary step. Please rest assured that maintaining your privacy is a top priority at The Kite Loft.

Security
Wherever your Personal Information may be held within The Kite Loft or on its behalf, we intend to take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the Personal Information that you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure.

Access/Accuracy
To the extent that you do provide us with Personal Information, The Kite Loft wishes to maintain accurate Personal Information. Where we collect Personal Information from you on the Web, our goal is to provide a means of contacting The Kite Loft should you need to update or correct that Information. If for any reason those means are unavailable or inaccessible, you may send updates and corrections about your Personal Information to admin@kiteloft.com. We will make reasonable efforts to incorporate the changes in your Personal Information that we hold as soon as practicable.
