Privacy Policy
By using this site, you agree to
the Privacy Policy of Gibbons Mannington. If you do not agree to
the Policy, please do not use this site. Gibbons Mannington reviews
its privacy policy periodically and reserves the right, at its discretion,
to modify or remove portions of this policy at any time. This page
should be reviewed periodically so that you are updated on any changes.
Gibbons Mannington recognises the importance of protecting
the privacy of personally identifiable information collected about
visitors to our sites. As a general policy, no personally identifiable
information, such as your name, address or email address, is automatically
collected from visitors to our sites. Personally identifiable information
about visitors to our sites is collected only when knowingly and
voluntarily submitted via registration or contact forms. We may
collect certain non-personal information to optimize our Web pages
for your computer (i.e., the identity of your Internet browser,
the type of operating system you use, your IP address and the domain
name of your Internet service provider). We may use such non-personal
information for internal purposes, including but not limited to
improving the content of our sites.
In those instances when we do collect personally identifiable
information, the following policies apply:
Gibbons Mannington will notify you when we are
collecting personally identifiable information about you and how
we intend to use it. For example, we may need to collect such information
to provide you with information or a product you requested.
Sometimes Gibbons Mannington engages in activities
with business partners and sponsors with whom personal information
is jointly collected or shared. We will try to make it clear at
the time of collection who is asking for and/or sharing your information.
In situations where your information will be shared, it is recommended
that you also review the privacy policy of our business partner
or sponsor.
Use and Security
Personally identifiable information that visitors submit to our
sites is used only for the purpose for which it is submitted unless
we disclose other uses in this Privacy Policy or at the time of
collection. Gibbons Mannington can not be held responsible
for the privacy policies or practices of our business partners.
Please remember that any information posted on bulletin
boards becomes public information. You should use caution when sharing
information as any of it can be collected and used by people you
may not know. While Gibbons Mannington strives to protect
and respect your privacy, we can not guarantee the security of any
information you disclose in a chat room or bulletin board and you
do so at your own risk.
Gibbons Mannington may use personally identifiable
information in aggregate form to make our sites better and more
responsive to the needs of our visitors.
Personal information may be disclosed in special situations
where Gibbons Mannington has reason to believe that doing
so is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against
anyone damaging, injuring, or interfering (intentionally or unintentionally)
with Gibbons Mannington' rights, property, users, or anyone
else who could be harmed by such activities. Also, Gibbons Mannington may reveal information when we believe in good faith
that the law requires it.
Gibbons Mannington maintains appropriate safeguards
to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personally identifiable
information submitted to our sites, and periodically reviews and
updates its security measures in light of current technologies.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed
to be totally secure. Although Gibbons Mannington strives
to protect your personal information, we can not ensure or warranty
the security of any information you may transmit to us or from our
online products and services. This is done so at your own risk.
Once we do receive your transmission, however, we make our best
effort to ensure its security on our systems.
Links to Third Party and Co-Branded Sites
Gibbons Mannington has established relationships with reputable
business partners that allow visitors to our Internet site to link
directly to sites operated by these partners. Some of these sites
may be "co-branded" with an Gibbons Mannington logo;
however, these sites are not operated or maintained by Gibbons Mannington. These sites may collect personal information from you
that may be shared with Gibbons Mannington. As noted above,
this Privacy Policy will apply to any personal information we obtain
in this manner.
Gibbons Mannington chooses its advertisers
and business partners carefully. However, Gibbons Mannington
is not responsible for the content or practices of Web sites operated
by third parties that are linked to our sites. These links are meant
for the user's convenience only. Links to third party sites do not
constitute sponsorship, endorsement or approval by Gibbons Mannington
of the content, policies or practices of such third party sites.
Once you have left the Gibbons Mannington site via such a link,
you should check the applicable privacy policy of the third party
site.
