Protecting Your Privacy
In today’s marketplace, the open exchange of information keeps business moving quickly. But whatever the speed, we’re committed to maintaining your privacy in every transaction.
Kanes of Sarasota Privacy Policy
Your Privacy:
At Kanes of Sarasota, respecting the privacy and security of your personal information is important to us. We know, however, that not everyone who takes their privacy seriously is necessarily well-versed in “legal or regulatory-ese”. There are plenty of legal terms in Kanes of Sarasota’s own privacy policy, which you will find on the following page. We urge you to read it carefully, and make note of your rights under this policy. We’ve tried to provide easy-to-understand explanations of the most frequently used legal terms, terms we are required to use to ensure clarity and consistency. We want to make sure that your personal information is protected, and that you understand the policies that protect you. You’ll find the same terms used in many companies’ privacy policies.
