At Southern Plains Resources, Inc. ("SPR" or "we"), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") discloses our privacy practices for our website located at www.southernplains.com (the "Website"). This Policy is effective as of February 1, 2012.
This Policy addresses only the collection, use and disclosure of information that we collect from you on the Website. This Policy is subject to modification from time-to-time without notice to you or your prior consent. You are responsible for reviewing the Policy each time before using the Website or providing any personal information.
What information do we collect via the Website?
We collect two types of information via the Website: 1) personally identifiable information and 2) aggregated information.
What is personally identifiable information?
Personally identifiable information is information that is actually used to identify you (i.e. name and e-mail address). We collect personally identifiable information whenever you voluntarily submit it to the Website. We require the submission of certain personally identifiable information for you to use certain features of the Website (i.e. to complete an employment application).
What is aggregated information?
Aggregated information is information that is not directly tied to a specific user, such as the number of people who visit the Website from various states. We track the number of people who view each page, the order in which pages are viewed and other information to learn which features of the Website are the most popular. Aggregated information also includes information that indirectly could be used to indentify you, but in practice, is not.
How do we use your personally identifiable information?
When you send us an e-mail we will retain the content of the e-mail, your e-mail address and our response in order to handle any follow-up questions you may have. We also use this information to measure how effectively we address your concerns. We may retain, when appropriate, your name and possibly other personal information such as your mailing address to use in connection with providing certain requested services (as permitted by law). If we or a trusted third party uses the personally identifiable information to contact you regarding products or services, you will always have the opportunity to opt out of receiving such communication in the future.
How do we use aggregated information?
We may store information that we collect through log files to create a profile of our users. A profile is stored information detailing how individual customers use the Website. Profiles are used solely for internal purposes to help us improve our customers' experience with the Website. We do not share customer profiles with any third parties. Log files, used to compile the profiles, record internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser types, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track customers' movement in and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. Information recorded in log files is not linked to personally identifiable information.
Do we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA")?
Yes. The Website is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under age 13 through this Website.
What happens when disclosures are required by law?
We will disclose personally identifiable information when required by law, or, if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to 1) comply with a court order or subpoena; 2) protect and defend our rights; or 3) protect the rights, property and other interests of our users or others.
Could personally identifiable information be transferred in connection with reorganization or other similar business transaction?
Yes. In the event we go through a business transition such as a merger, acquisition by another company or sale of a portion of our assets, our customers' personally identifiable information may be part of the assets transferred.
Does this Policy apply to linked websites?
No. This Policy applies solely to information collected by the Website. The Website contains links to other sites; we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. You should be aware when you leave the Website and read the privacy policies of each site that collects personally identifiable information.
Is the Website secure?
We make commercially reasonable efforts to protect your information. Given the nature of the Internet, however, and the fact that network security measures are not foolproof, we cannot guarantee the security of your information.
Can I correct, update, delete or deactivate personally identifiable information?
If your personally identifiable information changes, you may contact us to correct, update or delete and deactivate our record of your personally identifiable information.
Will you notify us of changes to the Policy?
If we decide to change the Policy, we will post a notice on the Website's homepage and other pages to alert you about the change. If the Policy changes materially so that we are going to use your personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, we will notify you via e-mail and give you a choice as to whether or not we may use your information in such a manner.
