PEAK's Privacy Statement
PEAK and its subsidiaries respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. PEAK provides this Privacy Statement to inform you of our Privacy Policy and practices and of the choices you can make about the way your information is collected online and how that information is used. We've structured our websites so that, in general, you can visit PEAK on the Web without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information.
This Privacy Statement applies to all PEAK owned websites and domains, and our wholly owned subsidiaries ("PEAK websites").
Links to non-PEAK websites
The PEAK websites may provide links to third-party websites for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave the PEAK website. PEAK does not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from PEAK's. We do not endorse or make any representations about third-party websites. The personal data you choose to give to unrelated third parties is not covered by the PEAK Privacy Statement. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any company before submitting your personal information.
This Privacy Statement covers personal information, non-personal data collection and aggregate reporting.
PEAK uses personal information to understand better, your needs and interests and to provide you with better service. Once you choose to provide us with personal information, you can be assured it will be used only to support your customer relationship with PEAK. We take seriously the trust you place in us. PEAK will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to others.
On some PEAK websites, you can order products or services, request information, subscribe to marketing or support materials, register yourself or your products. The types of personal information you provide to us on these pages may include name, address, phone number, e-mail address, user IDs and passwords, billing and transaction information, credit card information, and contact preferences.
PEAK uses your personal information to provide you with services and to help us better understand your needs and interests. Specifically, we use your information to help you complete a transaction or order, to communicate with you, to provide service and support, to update you on services and benefits, to personalize promotional offers and to personalize some PEAK websites. Credit card information is used only for payment processing and fraud prevention.
PEAK will not sell, rent or lease your personal information to others. PEAK will not share your personal information with third parties except in responding to your requests for products or services.
PEAK is committed to protecting the information you provide us. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, to maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of the information, PEAK has in place appropriate physical and managerial procedures to safeguard the information we collect.
If there are updates to the terms of PEAK's Online Privacy Statement, we will post those changes and update the revision date in this document, so you will always know what information we collect online, how we use it, and what choices you have. For material changes to this Statement, PEAK will provide notification to affected customers.
Collecting and Using Your Information
When you make a purchase online, the information you provide allows us to process and fulfill your order, and to notify you of your order status. We need to know personal information such as your name, e-mail address, billing, and mailing address which is then temporarily stored along with a record of the products you purchase. We also need to know your credit card number and expiration date.
When you submit a question or comment, we ask for your e-mail address, name and country of residence. This allows us to route your message to the appropriate support staff to provide you with a prompt reply.
When you enter a sweepstakes or other promotion, we may ask for your name, address, and e-mail address so we can administer the contest and notify the winner.
PEAK will not sell, trade, or rent your personal information collected online.
When making an online purchase at the PEAK web site, you are using a secure server. When your browser communicates with a secure server all information is encrypted, keeping it private. This technology makes it safer to transmit your credit card information over the Internet. To use this server, your web browser must support SSL (Secure Socket Layers). We use other technology and procedures to keep your information secure once it is received by PEAK.
We safeguard information according to established security standards and procedures. Our employees are trained to understand and comply with these information principles.
