Fort
Hill Advisors is committed to protecting any personal information
that you may provide to us. In particular, we believe it is important
for you to know how we treat information about you that we may receive
from this Web site.
Information
Collected
In general, you can visit this Web site without telling us who you
are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers
collect the domain names, not the e-mail addresses, of visitors.
Our web servers also seek (as many Web sites do) to place a "cookie"
(a small data file) on your computer's hard drive which allows the
server to determine the computer when it visits again, in order
to track statistical information about navigation to and throughout
certain areas of our site, and to Fort Hill Advisors promotions
on other sites. This cookie is not used to obtain your name or any
personal data, and the information that is tracked is used only
for internal purposes, such as to improve site navigation and to
measure the effectiveness of our promotional placements, and is
not shared with anyone other than Fort Hill Advisors affiliates and contractors
who assist Fort Hill Advisors in these efforts and are bound to
confidentiality. However, if you prefer not to accept cookies, you
can set your browser to reject them or to alert you before one is
placed.
In
addition, there are portions of this Web site where we may need
to collect personal information from you for a specific purpose,
such as to provide you with certain information you request. The
information collected from you may include your name, address, telephone,
fax number, or e-mail address. For electronic access to annual reports
and proxy statements, we collect your tax identification number
to verify your shareholder status. For our supplier diversity site,
we necessarily collect information about gender and ethnicity, such
as whether your business is female-owned.
This
Web site is not intended for persons under 13 years of age. We do
not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from or about
children, and we do not knowingly market our products or services
to children.
Use
of Collected Information
Domain name information that we collect is not used to personally
identify you and instead is aggregated to measure the number of
visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed, etc. We use
this information to measure the use of our site and to improve the
content of our site.
When
other information is collected from you, such as your name and e-mail
address, we generally let you know at the time of collection how
we will use the personal information. Usually, we use the personal
information you provide only to respond to your inquiry or to process
your request (such as to receive electronic annual reports or to
be added to our supplier diversity database). This information may
be shared with other Fort Hill Advisors businesses, but only if
necessary to fulfill your request or for related purposes.
We
may share the personal information you provide with other companies
we have hired to provide services for us. These companies - our
vendors - are contractually bound to use personal information we
share with them only to perform the services we have hired them
to provide. We do not share, sell, or lease personal information
about you to any third-parties for their marketing use. We will
release information about you if you direct us to do so, if we are
required by law to do so, or in other legally limited circumstances
(for example, to protect your account from fraud).
If
you register with one of Fort Hill Advisors’s business units
online, they may use this information to provide you with custom
information about Fort Hill Advisors’s offerings in support
of your business needs. They may also seek to place a "cookie"
(small data file) as discussed above in order to provide you with
tailored information. You should review the privacy policy associated
with that Fort Hill Advisors business' Web site for further information
about that Fort Hill Advisors business' privacy practices.
Links
to Other Sites
Fort Hill Advisors’s Web site may contain links to other
sites such as Fort Hill Advisors distributors and sales affiliates.
While we try to link only to sites that share our high standards
and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content,
security, or privacy practices employed by other sites.
Security
of Collected Information
We maintain strict physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards
to protect your personal information from unauthorized or inappropriate
access. We restrict access to information about you to those Fort Hill Advisors workers who need to know the information to respond to
your inquiry or request. Workers who misuse personal information
are subject to disciplinary action.
