• We do not sell or share specific client information with any outside entity.
• We value your privacy as if it were our own.

This policy includes information about:
1. Protecting information about you from companies outside of WINDMILL CANDIES
2. Making the security of information a priority
3. Collecting information
4. Managing information
5. WINDMILL CANDIES services and businesses

This policy covers client information, which means personally identifiable information about a client or a client’s current or former relationship with WINDMILL CANDIES. This policy applies to all WINDMILL CANDIES employees, associates, services and businesses.

1. Protecting information about you from companies outside of WINDMILL CANDIES – WINDMILL CANDIES does not sell or share any specific client information with companies, businesses, or services outside of WINDMILL CANDIES who may want to use your client information for their own gains, or who may want to offer you their own products and services. You don't need to take any action for this benefit.

2. Making the security of information a priority – Keeping client information secure is one of our most important responsibilities. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect client information. Employees are authorized to access client information only when they need it to provide you with products and services or to maintain your accounts. Our employees and associates are bound by a code of ethics that requires confidential treatment of client information and are subject to disciplinary action if they fail to follow this code.

3. Collecting information – We collect and use various types of information to provide you with reporting and consulting services, service your accounts, save you time and money and better respond to your needs.

Client information is categorized in the following two ways:
• Application Information — information that you provide to us on applications and through other means. Examples include your name, address, and contact information.
• Other General Information — information from outside sources, such as data from public records, that is not assembled or used for the purpose of determining your eligibility for a product or service.

4. Managing Information – We manage how and when information is shared:
• Within WINDMILL CANDIES
• With companies and associates that work for us
• In other situations

Managing information with companies that work for us We may share any of the two categories of client information outlined in this policy with companies that work for us. All companies that act on our behalf are contractually obligated to keep the information we provide to them confidential and to use the client information we share only to provide the services we ask them to perform for you and us. These companies may include those that provide technical services such as programming or web site maintenance. These companies might assist us, for example, in processing your financial information into monthly reports, mailing account statements and fulfilling your service requests. In addition, we may share any of the two categories of client information with our own employees and associates or with companies that work for us in order to provide marketing support and other services.

Disclosing information in other situations
WINDMILL CANDIES's may share aggregated or averaged and non-identifying information about our clients collected through the registration process and input by our clients, as well as through our online surveys, focus groups, and services. For example, non-specific client information may be disclosed in connection with trend reports, industry averages, and industry benchmarks. Client information may also be disclosed to companies that process your requests for products or services. With your consent we may share any of the two categories of customer information outside of WINDMILL CANDIES in situations such as when you agree to participate in a specific survey, study or focus group.
Unless required by law, WINDMILL CANDIES will never disclose your identity in relation to your data without your prior consent.
You may have other privacy protections under state laws; we will comply with applicable state laws with regard to our information practices.

Special Cases
It is WINDMILL CANDIES’s policy not to use or share the personal information in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing an opportunity to opt out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses. However, WINDMILL CANDIES may disclose personal information or information regarding use of the services if, for any reason, in our sole discretion, we believe that it is necessary to do so, including: to satisfy laws, regulations or other legal requests for such information; to disclose information that is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Acceptable Use Policy or other policies; to operate the services properly; or to protect WINDMILL CANDIES, our services, our employees or our members.
