Colorado Mountain
Express
is committed to providing those who use or visit the
Company’s Internet Web sites with a safe and secure
Internet environment that respects and protects their
personal privacy. The following privacy policy is in
effect for every Web site maintained or operated by
the Company (the “Web site”), and we ask you to read
it thoroughly.
Our Pledge
-
We will not release personally identifiable
information about you if you have specifically
instructed us not to (except as may be needed to
provide services you have expressly requested, or if
we believe disclosure is necessary under one of the
exceptions discussed below).
-
We will provide mechanisms for you to communicate
your privacy questions and concerns to us and that
we will make every effort to respond to them.
Your consent
By using the services provided to you through the Web
site, you consent to the collection and use of your
information as outlined in this Privacy Policy. We
reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any
time, but all changes will be posted to this page so
that you are can remain informed as to what
information we collect and how we use it. Changes are
effective when posted to this page, and your continued
use after any change is posted is an acceptance of the
change.
Helpful Definitions
"Personally identifiable information" is
information-such as name, birth date, e-mail address
or mailing address, financial information and other
types of information that can be used to uniquely
identify a user.
"Anonymous Information" is information that does not
personally identify you. This includes information on
how you use our site (such as places visited and
search queries performed). Anonymous information also
includes the domain names and/or I.P. addresses (as
explained in greater detail below) of browsers that
visit our site, time of day the site was visited, and
other non-personally identifiable information.
Anonymous information is information that is not tied
to any individual.
Collection and Use of Personally Identifiable
Information
Registration
You can visit our Web site without telling us who you
are or revealing any personally identifiable
information about yourself to us. It is only when you
wish to receive additional services or goods that we
may require you to register with us by providing
certain personally identifiable information and we may
ask you to select a user name and password. The
Company will use this information to:
-
Welcome you to the Web site.
-
Send communications from to you about the Web site,
including new features and services available
through the Web site.
-
Share your information with affiliates, and allow
them to contact you directly, if you have consented
to this beforehand.
-
Verify your qualifications for receiving goods or
services we offer over the Web site or for other
programs or activities.
If you indicate to us that you do not want to receive
certain types of communications at the time of
registration, we will respect your wishes, and comply
with your preferences, however there may be cases
where this will limit the Web site services available
to you.
Sharing Personally Identifiable Information with
Third Parties
If we share Personally Identifiable information with
third parties to which you have consented, they may
use the data we provide them (sometimes, in connection
with other information they may have gathered about
you), but are generally prohibited from sharing this
information with other companies or people without
your consent.
PLEASE NOTE: In certain special cases, we may disclose
your personally identifiable information when we have
reason to believe that disclosing this information is
necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action
against someone who may be causing injury to you, or
otherwise injuring or interfering with the Company's
rights, property or operations, other Web site users,
or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities.
We may also disclose your personally identifiable
information when we believe the law requires it, or in
response to any demand by law enforcement authorities
in connection with a criminal investigation, or civil
or administrative authorities in connection with a
pending civil case or administrative investigation.
Anonymous Information
When you use the Web site, we may collect anonymous
information, even if you have not registered with the
Company. We may use this information to examine how
the Web site is used or to help the Company improve
the services it offers to users. The Company will not
share any anonymous information about your use of the
Web site with third parties if we know that this
anonymous information will be linked by third parties
with personally identifiable information of yours
obtained from another source, unless we have given you
notice as described above and you have given us
authorization to do so.
Cookies
A "cookie" is a small piece of data that is sent to
your browser from a web server and stored on your
computer's hard drive. Cookies are harmless bits of
code that an Internet site assigns to your browser to
keep track of who you are when you use a Web site.
There is no risk of the information on your hard drive
being exposed to the outside world since a web site
can only read the cookies it creates.
Cookies are sometimes used on the Internet to improve
the delivery of services to users by enabling the Web
site to "customize" the particular services or
information offered to each user.
The Company may employ or use cookies from time to
time. You will be given a choice as to whether you
want to participate in the use of cookies before they
are used. Third parties, however, may have their own
policies about the use or cookies, and the Company
does not have control over these practices. You are
responsible for obtaining information about cookies on
third party Web sites if you believe this is important
to know.
As a general rule, you can choose whether to accept
cookies by changing the settings of your browser. You
can reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or allow
your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent.
If you choose not to accept these cookies, your
experience at our site and other Web sites may be
diminished and some features will not work as
intended.
Use of IP Addresses
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a set of numbers
that is assigned to your computer. Web servers - the
powerful computers that provide web pages for viewing
- automatically identify your computer by the IP
address assigned to it during your session online.
The Company may collect IP addresses for purposes of
system administration and to monitor and audit the use
of the Web site. We can and will use IP addresses to
identify users of the Web site when we feel it is
necessary to enforce compliance with the Company's
terms of use or terms of service, or to protect our
service, site, or other users. We will not share or
sell linked user behavior and personal user
information with any third parties unless you have
given us authorization to do so.
PLEASE NOTE: Under certain circumstances, IP addresses
and/or domain names may be linked to personally
identifiable information, when said information is
stored in databases managed by Internet registrars or
registries such as Network Solutions.
Third Party Relationships
WEB SITES THAT ARE OPERATED OR MAINTAINED BY THIRD
PARTIES ARE NOT COVERED BY THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
Whenever you authorize the Company to share
information about you with third parties, you are
responsible for determining whether the third party
employs an acceptable privacy policy. The Company
does not automatically make this determination for
you, and does not warrant that any particular third
party maintains a privacy policy that is acceptable to
you.
Security
The Company operates secure data networks protected by
industry standard procedures, to attempt to protect
against the loss, misuse and alteration of your user
data under our control.
Only authorized employees have access to the
information you provide us. For example, we impose
strict rules on employees who have access either to
the databases that store user information or to the
servers that host our services. While we cannot
guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration to data will
not occur; we will make every effort (such as the use
of employee passwords and non-disclosure agreements)
to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.
