In the normal course of business, the Haws Corporation receives information
from customers and others with whom we communicate. These communications
can be on a wide variety of levels, including internet and other electronic
communications, as well as via traditional print means, such as advertising
reader response cards and physical product orders. It is the purpose of
this privacy policy to establish our respect for the trust placed in us
by people providing their personal and/or business information and to delineate
the specific uses and limitations of use we place on information entrusted
to us.
Information Collected
The specific information collected by Haws Corporation is strictly limited
to the information you knowingly provide. Contact information provided
when users register on our website, www.hawsco.com,
is a good example. This information is used internally only, and is never
sold or distributed in any manner to anyone outside of Haws Corporation.
Our internal use is limited to efforts to assist you with obtaining information
you might request from Haws Corporation, about our products and services.
Obviously, email communications you initiate with us will generate some
internal data about how we might reply to you. Again, this information
is used internally - only to the extent that will enable our response.
Web contacts and print publication leads, when generated by interested
parties are followed up as a normal part of business operations. Once again,
this information is held in the strictest of confidence.
Persons who contact us are sometimes asked to opt-in to our monthly e-newsletters
for drinking fountains and electric water coolers, as well as emergency
equipment. This opt-in authorization is used to communicate the requested
information only and is ceased immediately in the event of a rescission
of the opt-in authorization. E-newsletter recipient lists are treated with
the same maximum security as all other customer and prospective customer
information.
Last, but certainly not least, customer order information is strictly
guarded, as well. In addition to Haws Corporation employees, customer order
information might be shared with Haws authorized independent representatives
and distributors. In these instances, the information shared is strictly
limited to the information you provided that is essential to fulfill your
order or other request.
Haws does not collect or accept customer or prospective customer information
from any other sources.
