Our goal in gathering information is to consistently improve our relationship with you, our customer. We use the following guidelines to protect the information we collect during your visit to our website, kin-tek.com; over the telephone; at trade shows; or through any other interaction.

WHAT INFORMATION DOES KIN-TEK GATHER ONLINE?

With the information you volunteer, we can potentially process your request, confirm your orders, notify you of updates to our site and products, and provide you with specific product and local event information. We may add any information you provide to our customer database. Information added to our customer database may be aggregated with other information previously collected.

DOES KIN-TEK USE COOKIES TO STORE INFORMATION ABOUT MY VISIT?

A cookie is a small file, typically only a few bytes, placed on your computer's hard drive. If you agree, then your browser adds the text in a small file. Presently, KIN-TEK does not use cookies to store any information about you.
