Krull Agency has put in place the
following Online Privacy Policy. This policy covers Krull Agency and its
subsidiaries. Krull Agency will continue to protect customer information
collected from its website, and e-mail consistent with federal laws and
with federal regulations issued by the Federal Communications
Commission.
Krull Agency's Online Privacy Policy
Protecting privacy is not a new endeavor for The Krull Agency. Krull
Agency has a long-standing tradition of recognizing and protecting
the privacy of customers who use its services. The company maintains
strict customer information privacy policies and uses state of the
art technologies to safeguard customer information and
communications from unauthorized intrusions.
Krull Agency recognizes that the growth of online services,
including Internet services, has created additional privacy
concerns, particularly for consumers.
Online privacy concerns focus primarily on the protection of
"customer identifiable" information which an individual or other
customer reasonably expects to be kept private. As the term
suggests, "customer identifiable" information is information that,
when associated with an individual identifies that individual, for
example, a customer's name, address, telephone number, and e-mail
address.
Some Internet users may also wish to know who can learn about what
they do on the Internet, even when that online behavior is not
directly linked to any information that identifies an individual.
For example, advertisers may observe whether visitors to a Web site
see or respond to online advertising without knowing who those
visitors are.
It
is common practice and often a necessity for companies, governments,
or other organizations to collect customer identifiable information
in order to conduct business and offer services. For example, a
telecommunications provider may collect customer identifiable
information, such as name, address, telephone number, and a variety
of other information in the course of billing and providing
telephone service to a customer.
Some activities on the Internet follow very familiar patterns.
Consumers signing up for an Internet access service, for example,
are usually asked to provide name, address, telephone number and
credit card and other information that is typical when the consumer
orders a product or service. Similarly, business Web sites may ask
visitors to supply information about themselves, particularly when
information, services or merchandise are requested, but often simply
to be able to better target the company's services to the customer's
interests and requirements.

How Krull Agency Protects Your
Privacy Online
Collection and Use: Krull Agency will collect and use
customer identifiable information for billing purposes, to provide
and change service, to anticipate and resolve problems with your
service, or to create and inform you of products and services that
better meet your needs. This means that Krull Agency may use your
customer identifiable information, in conjunction with information
available from other sources, to market new services to you that we
think will be of interest to you, but we will not disclose your
customer identifiable information to third parties who want to
market products to you.
When you access the Internet, the computers that host Web sites you
visit (Web servers) automatically receive some anonymous
information. This "usage data" may include a record of which pages a
Web browser has visited. Krull Agency servers receive usage data
when customers visit the Krull Agency Web site. Krull Agency may use
usage data to provide advertising about goods and services that may
be of interest to Krull Agency customers, or to provide customized
features and services. Krull Agency will not use information about
your activities on the Internet together with any information that
identifies you without your consent.
Krull Agency and its advertisers may use various kinds of software
devices to collect information about Internet use. Small files
called "cookies" may be attached to your Web browser. These files
identify your browser and save information such as passwords so that
Web sites can recognize you. You can set your browser to disable
cookies, but the Krull Agency Web site (and other Web sites) may not
work properly if you do this. For more information about cookies,
click here.
In
addition, on some Web sites, Krull Agency and its advertisers may
use small bits of code called "one-pixel gifs," or "clear gifs"
embedded in some Web pages, to make cookies more effective. Krull
Agency will not associate the information these software devices
collect with your name or email address.
Disclosure: Krull Agency will not sell, trade, or
disclose to third parties any customer identifiable information
derived from the registration for or use of an Krull Agency online
service -- including customer names and addresses -- without the
consent of the customer (except as required by subpoena, search
warrant, or other legal process or in the case of imminent physical
harm to the customer or others). When Krull Agency uses other
agents, contractors or companies to perform services on its behalf,
Krull Agency will ensure that the company protects your customer
identifiable information consistent with this Policy. If Krull
Agency includes your name and any other customer identifiable
information in a directory that Krull Agency creates from
information we receive as an online service provider, the company
will give you the opportunity to have your information excluded from
that directory. Business directories that Krull Agency creates may,
however, contain information obtained from other sources.
Security: Krull Agency has implemented technology and
security features and strict policy guidelines to safeguard the
privacy of your customer identifiable information from unauthorized
access or improper use, and we will continue to enhance our security
procedures as new technology becomes available.
E-mail Contents: The company will not read or disclose to
third parties private e-mail communications that are transmitted
using Krull Agency services except as required to operate the
service or as otherwise authorized by law.
Improper Conduct: Krull Agency may also use customer
identifiable information to investigate and help prevent potentially
unlawful activity or activity that threatens the network or
otherwise violates the customer agreement for that service.
Account Information: Krull Agency honors requests from
customers to review all customer identifiable information maintained
in reasonably retrievable form, which currently consists of your
name, address, e-mail address, telephone number and/or billing
information, and will correct any such information which may be
inaccurate. Customers may verify that appropriate corrections have
been made.
Customer Concerns: If you are a consumer, or business
customer with concerns about the Krull Agency online privacy policy
or its implementation you may contact us at 308-832-2140.
Changes in Practices: Krull Agency will keep this Policy
current. The company will post any changes that we make.

Additional Privacy Protections
for Children Using the Internet
Krull Agency joins the industry in recognizing that children,
including young teens, may not be able to make informed choices
about personal information requested online.
Accordingly, Krull Agency does not target children or teenagers
(younger than eighteen years of age) for collection of information
online. Krull Agency does not solicit or collect customer
identifiable information targeted at children and teenagers under
eighteen and does not allow anyone else to do so on the Krull Agency
Web site. In addition, the editorial content of the Krull Agency Web
site designed for children will not knowingly promote or link to any
third party Web site that collects customer identifiable information
unless that Web site publishes a privacy policy that is easily
accessible.
In
addition, on the Krull Agency Web site, Krull Agency will encourage
children to seek the consent of their parents before providing any
information about themselves or their households to anyone on the
Internet.
Krull Agency encourages parents to take an active role to protect
the privacy and security of their children and to prevent the
inappropriate use of information about their children. Krull Agency
supports the development of technologies that help parents to
control the collection and use of personal information from children
who use online services in their households.
Finally, Krull Agency complies with all Federal laws and
regulations, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act,
which requires the consent of a parent or guardian for the
collection of personally identifiable information from children
under 13 without the consent of a parent or guardian.
