Pennock Company would like all of its customers and website users to know their personal information is not a commodity for sale. We do not solicit by means of direct marketing, bulk mail or third-party solicitation. We want your trust so that we may provide you with the most enriching online experience possible. If you choose to give us personal information via the Internet, we will tell you how we intend to use it. If you do not want this information to be used to contact you, we will respect your wishes. Pennock Company does keep track of the domains from which people visit us, for statistical purposes only.

Because we want you to know that Pennock Company is committed to your privacy, we have agreed to disclose these information practices.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the blog we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Contact Forms

Information provided to us through contact forms are sent to relevant Pennock personnel to respond to the contact form.
