Privacy Policy

Chesapeake Supply & Equipment maintains high standards for the protection of privacy over the Internet. The following policy statement explains how Chesapeake Supply & Equipment protects the privacy of information transmitted over the Internet from its web-site visitors.

Generally, Chesapeake Supply & Equipment only obtains specific and individualized data about its website visitors when such information is supplied voluntarily, i.e., when website visitors send e-mail, inquiries or make registrations of purchases from Chesapeake Supply & Equipment. Chesapeake Supply & Equipment then uses the information for the purpose of fulfilling the visitors' requests. However, Chesapeake Supply & Equipment gathers some generic information automatically, solely to help Chesapeake Supply & Equipment determine the success and usefulness of its websites. This generic information, which does not reveal the identity of the visitor, include: what website the visitor visited, how much time people spend on various pages of the site, visitors' domain name types (.com, .org, etc.), and the originating web page of the visitor. Chesapeake Supply & Equipment uses this information to determine customer service needs. In the future, Chesapeake Supply & Equipment may increase its technical abilities for gathering data about visitors in order to enhance the services offered to visitors and customers. This privacy policy will be periodically updated to reflect any such changes to Chesapeake Supply & Equipment 's practices.

Chesapeake Supply & Equipment 's websites may employ "cookies". Cookies are small segments of text that are transmitted to a visitor's web browser and which store information on the visitor's hard drive. This information is later transmitted back to the server that originally sent it to the visitor upon a later visit to that site. Cookies allow servers to recall previous transactions to avoid repetition in data gathering. A visitor can configure its equipment hardware, usually with its browser to make notification when they receive a cookie. The visitor can refuse it.

Chesapeake Supply & Equipment will not sell or reveal information obtained about its visitors to anyone outside of Chesapeake Supply & Equipment unless authorized by the visitor through the nature of their transaction, it is legally required, or such disclosure is required to protect the safety of employees, visitors, customers, or property. Chesapeake Supply & Equipment does not send "junk" e-mail, also known as "spam". In certain instances, when Chesapeake Supply & Equipment wishes to contact customers via e-mail, respond to messages, confirm purchases, or transmit information requested by or of interest to a visitor, Chesapeake Supply & Equipment will typically use e-mail. Any time a customer or visitor receives e-mail it does not want from Chesapeake Supply & Equipment, the customer can request that Chesapeake Supply & Equipment not send further e-mail.

Chesapeake Supply & Equipment has security measures in place for protecting data conveyed during a visitor's purchase with Chesapeake Supply & Equipment. Chesapeake Supply & Equipment 's employees, partners and subcontractors are required to protect the privacy of such data. Chesapeake Supply & Equipment wants its visitors and customers to feel that their privacy will be protected when the visitor accesses their account or purchases services from Chesapeake Supply & Equipment online. Chesapeake Supply & Equipment denies any responsibility for the privacy protections or content offered by other sites to which Chesapeake Supply & Equipment 's websites may contain links.

Because Chesapeake Supply & Equipment desires accuracy in the information it obtains and uses about its visitors and customers, Chesapeake Supply & Equipment will attempt to verify its data and will ask its customers to notify it of any inaccuracies or mistakes of which they may become aware through their online account data and monthly bills.
