Privacy Policy
Your Privacy is Important to Us
To maintain our level of customer support, we (R.E. Mason) require certain information about our customers. R.E. Mason has taken measures to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of information we collect in accordance with the applicable state and federal privacy legislation.
R.E. Mason (including affiliates, divisions and related companies) is committed to controlling the collection, use and disclosure of personal information provided by you, our customer.
Personal Information We Collect
Personal information is information about you, the individual. It includes your contact information (i.e., first and last name, business address, business phone and fax number, business email address, etc.). and may also include data about the types of products, services and solutions you use or in which you have an interest. If you have attended any of our seminars or education sessions, it may also include your educational history with us. This information is used for the following purposes:
Consent may be obtained in various ways. We may obtain your express consent, or we may determine that consent has been implied by the circumstances. For example, should you log in to our website and fill in the required form or reply to an e-mail, we would determine that consent has been given to use that information to serve your needs. Likewise, should you verbally provide personal information to an R.E. Mason employee, we would assume that consent to use this information is implied. In any case, we would safeguard this information against unauthorized use.
Since it is our culture and philosophy to respect our relationship with you, consent may be withdrawn by you at any time either verbally to an R.E. Mason employee, or by email: [email protected].
Sharing Personal Information with Others
We do not sell customer lists or personal information to others. In providing you with our products, solutions and services, we may need to disclose the personal information we collect to suppliers or subsidiaries. This is for the sole purpose of providing you with the right solution for your need and serving you better.
We may also use this information to assess your future needs and to offer the products and services that may best meet those needs. In these cases, should you not wish to hear from us in this manner, we will do our best to provide a simple method for you to have your name and information removed upon request. If you desire your name and address to be removed, contact us: [email protected]
How we Safeguard Personal Information
At R.E. Mason, we have physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect our systems and personal information under our control against unauthorized access and use, and against unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction and damage.
If we provide our suppliers with any personal information, we will advise them that suppliers are required to maintain customer confidentiality and may not use the information for any unauthorized purpose.
R.E. Mason employees and information system contractors we use are governed by standards and policies to ensure that personal information is secure and treated with care and respect. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and, although we will take steps to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted via the website; any transmission is therefore at your own risk.
Information Related to Website Use
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with useful content and services.
Personally identifiable information means any information collected online that could serve to identify you, such as, first and last name, physical address, email address, telephone number and any combination of personal information that could be used to determine identity. We collect personally identifiable information when you provide it to us, such as when you register on one of our sites, when you subscribe for an email newsletter or when you register to use certain services. Several of the services that we offer on our sites may require registration as a condition of use. Once you register with R.E. Mason on our site you are no longer anonymous to us. We may also receive information about you from other sources including our suppliers and add it to the information you provided to us.
Users who would rather not provide any of the information requested by our registration process will still be able to view the public access portions of our sites without registering.
