Privacy Policy
Effective July 1, 2006
At Feather River Train Shop, we recognize and respect the personal privacy of our customers.
Therefore, we want you to know about the policies and procedures that we have developed to help
protect the confidentiality of nonpublic, personal information about our customers. Our privacy
policy applies to our traditional customers who use services provided in person at our San Rafael,
California shop or by telephone, and to our customers that use our electronic services, provided
through a personal computer on the internet.
Our privacy policy is set out below and in the attached Privacy Notice. It is current as of the
date above. Our privacy policy is used by us as a guideline and a business-planning tool. It is
not a contract or standard that we are obligated to follow in all cases or in all manners, and we
may change it in accordance with our internal policy-setting procedures, from time to time. If you
would like to verify that this is or is not a current version of our privacy policy, please contact
us at (415) 499-0664 or by e-mail to sales@featherrivertrains.com.
What Kind of Information is Collected about You?
At Feather River Train Shop, we collect most of our information directly from you. How much we
collect depends on you.
If you are a visitor to our San Rafael, California location, no information is collected about
you unless you make a request that requires us to obtain information (such as, you ask that
something be sent to you or that you want a telephone call from us) or you otherwise provide the
information to us. If you are a visitor to our Web site, www.featherrivertrains.com, our Web server
automatically recognizes your Internet Service Provider's domain name and aggregates information
about what pages are visited. We use this information to improve the content of our Web pages. But
unless you make a request when you visit our Web pages, we do not collect e-mail addresses or postal
addresses, or telephone numbers, to contact visitors.
If you are, or become, a customer of Feather River Train Shop, nonpublic personal information about
you is collected from the following sources:
- From you on applications or other forms (such as your name, address, credit card number, and billing information)
What We do With Information About You
In most cases, any nonpublic personal information about you that we collect is used by us in our
efforts to serve your needs and administer your personal accounts and transactions. All nonpublic
personal information collected and retained by Feather River Train Shop is used for specific business
purposes. Thus, we may use the information to protect and administer your personal accounts and
transactions, to help improve or design our products and services, or for similar purposes.
Disclosure of Information to Others
With no exceptions, we do not and will not sell or share personally identifiable information about
you with others. As exceptions to this policy, we may from time to time provide personally identifiable
information about you to others:
- In connection with the acquisition or sale of all or a portion of our business.
- As part of any legal or regulatory requirements imposed on us.
Our "Privacy Notice" includes further information on the circumstances where we disclose information to
others. We do and will not share information with others under programs where the other person will use
the information to market their products or services to you.
Maintenance of Accurate Information
We will do our best to keep the information collected complete, current and accurate. When customers
notify us that the information is inaccurate, we will research the matter and make any necessary corrections.
Employee Access to Information
Only authorized Feather River Train Shop employees who have a legitimate business purpose for knowing
the information are authorized to access personally identifiable information. Each employee has
responsibility for maintaining the confidentiality of customer information. We maintain physical,
electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal standards to guard your nonpublic personal
information, and take appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce employee responsibility.
