Privacy Policy

Welcome to Hatch Chicken Co (“Hatch Chicken”) Web Site (the “Site”). This Site is intended to be an information resource for Web site visitors and our clients. This privacy policy is intended to inform visitors of the ways in which this Site collects information and how we use it.

Information We Collect

We collect information which visitors provide. For example, users may provide us their e-mail addresses to request information, or send us their mailing addresses so we may send materials or information that visitors have requested. In this way, we may collect the following information about our visitors: name, title, business address and telephone number, product usage and attitudes, as well as preferences for content, numbers of visits and length of time spent on the Site. Visitors whose businesses are Hatch Chicken retail store clients can register for our eBusiness applications. Registered users may be asked to provide additional information about their businesses.

We use the information our visitors provide to respond to questions or requests regarding Hatch Chicken companies (the “Hatch Chicken Companies”), our products and services, or our Site; to improve Site content; and to send visitors periodic mailings and/or e-mails or call visitors about Hatch Chicken services and products or upcoming events.

Cookies

Cookies are pieces of information stored by a visitor’s web browser on behalf of a Web site and returned to the Web site on request. Our Site uses cookies when a registered user is logged into our Site to help us manage the Site, improve features of the Site and understand usage patterns. The information that may be maintained by a cookie may include: the pages visited on the Site; the date and time of the visit; the internet address (URL or IP address) of the referring site; the domain name and IP address from which the access occurred; the version of browser used; the capabilities of the browser; and the search terms used on our search engines. The Site may use cookies for two purposes: to carry data about your current session at the Site from one Web page to the next, and to identify you to the Site. A cookie cannot read data off a visitor’s hard drive.

Some pages of our Site may not function properly if the cookies are turned off. Visitors should consult their web browser’s Help documentation for more information about how to turn cookies on and off for their browser.

In the course of ensuring network security and consistent service for all users, Hatch Chicken employs software programs to do such things as monitor network traffic, identify unauthorized access or access to nonpublic information, detect computer viruses and other software that might damage Hatch Chicken computer systems or the network, and monitor and tune the performance of the Hatch Chicken network. In the course of such monitoring, these programs may detect such information as e-mail headers, addresses from network packets, and other information. Information from these activities is used only for the purpose of maintaining the security and performance of Hatch Chicken’s networks and computer systems.

Use of Personal Information

The personal information we maintain will be held by Hatch Chicken and may be used by Hatch Chicken, other companies within the Hatch Chicken group (details of which are available on request), or Hatch Chicken’s agents, partners or licensees. We do not sell, exchange or otherwise distribute visitor information without visitors’ consent, except to the extent required by law, in accordance with visitors’ instructions, or as set out below

Agents and Service Providers.

* We sometimes contract with other companies and individuals to perform functions or services on our behalf, such as hosting this Site, sending e-mail messages, and making phone calls on our behalf. They may have access to personal information, such as addresses, needed to perform their functions, but are restricted from using it for purposes other than providing services for Hatch Chicken.

Business Transfers.

* As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy assets. In such transactions, Web site visitor information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Therefore, if either Hatch Chicken itself or substantially all of Hatch Chicken assets were acquired, visitor information may be one of the transferred assets.

Legal Matters.

* Hatch Chicken reserves the right to disclose any information about visitors and their use of this Site without prior permission if Hatch Chicken has a good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) protect and defend the rights, property or safety of Hatch Chicken or its affiliates or subsidiaries, other users of this Site, or the public; (b) enforce the Terms of Use for this Site; or (c) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third-parties. We may also disclose information as we deem necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.

Information Security

All information gathered on our Site is securely stored within the Hatch Chicken-controlled database. The database is stored on servers secured behind a firewall and access to the servers is password-protected and is strictly limited. However, as effective as our security measures are, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that visitor information will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. We ask that visitors do their part, by maintaining strictly confidential any computer passwords and eBusiness usernames and passwords used to access the Internet or this Site.

Your request must be submitted in writing. We may take a reasonable period of time to respond. If you request the deletion or change of inaccurate information on our system, such information may be retained for a period in our backup systems as a precaution against systems failures. Some information may be retained for longer periods as required by law, contract or auditing requirements.
