General Privacy Statement
At Correctional Industries (CI), we respect the privacy of our web site visitors. A visitor can choose to provide customer-specific information by registering to purchase via the CI online catalog or by sending us email. Any information provided by a visitor is held confidentially within CI and will not be sold to any other organization or business. This information will be used to fulfill the specific request or purpose for which it was provided. In addition, such voluntarily provided information may be occasionally used by us to offer CI products and services that may be of interest.
Collection of Technical Information
In order to improve the quality and efficiency of WashingtonCI.com, we occasionally collect some technical information from visitors. This information never identifies who you are. This information includes:
- The Internet domain (for example, "xcompany.com" or "yourschool.edu") and IP address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the world wide web) from which you access our web site;
- The type of browser (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer) and operating system (Windows, Mac OS) used to access our site;
- The date and time you access our site;
- The pages you visit; and
- If you linked to WashingtonCI.com from another web site, the address of that web site.
Cookies
Some web sites use cookies to store information on the hard drive of a visitors computer. This is not the case at WashingtonCI.com, where we only use "session variables," which temporarily hold the information on our private server, then are automatically deleted when the user exits their internet browser.
SSL (Secure Socket Layers)
Because we accept sensitive information from end-users, such as passwords and credit card numbers, WashingtonCI.com uses SSL. This logic encrypts the data being sent to the server from the browser using high-level encryption technology. Once the data is received, it may be required that it be maintained for a certain period of time inside our private network. Encrypting the data means it cannot be viewed as plain text.
Public Disclosure
In the State Of Washington, laws exist to ensure that government is open and that the public has a right to access appropriate records and information possessed by state government. At the same time, there are exceptions to the public's right to access public records that serve various needs including the privacy of individuals. Exceptions are provided by both state and federal laws.
All information collected at this site becomes public record that may be subject to inspection and copying by the public, unless an exemption in law exists.
In the event of a conflict between this Privacy Notice and the Public Records Act or other law governing the disclosure of records, the Public Records Act or other applicable law will control.
Nondisclosure of Certain Personal Information
Certain personal information may be requested in order to process an on-line transaction. You may choose not to provide this information, but we will be unable to process the transaction on-line, and you will have to do the transaction either in person or by mail.
The following laws may prevent the disclosure of personal information about you except as necessary to process the transaction:
- Personal information in any files maintained for students in public schools, patients or clients of public institutions or public health agencies, or welfare recipients.
RCW 42.17.310(1)
- Personal information in files maintained for employees, appointees, or elected officials of any public agency to the extent that disclosure would violate their right to privacy. RCW 42.56.230(2)
- Information required of any taxpayer in connection with the assessment or collection of any tax if the disclosure of the information to other persons would (a) be prohibited to such persons by RCW 84.08.210, 82.32.330, 84.40.020, or 84.40.340 or (b) violate the taxpayer's right to privacy or result in unfair competitive disadvantage to the taxpayer. RCW 42.56.230(3)
- Credit card numbers, debit card numbers, electronic check numbers, card expiration dates, or bank or other financial account numbers, except when disclosure is expressly required by or governed by other law. RCW 42.56.230(4)
Access by Children
WashingtonCI.com is not structured to attract children, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. Users are cautioned that the collection of personal information requested from or volunteered by children on-line or by email will be treated the same as information given by an adult, and may be subject to public access. Online orders of CI products and services are limited to adults.
