Privacy Policy

Updated: April 13, 2021

Overview

Kansas Agri Business Expo (KABE) values individual privacy and wants to give our website visitors the opportunity to know what information we collect about them and how they can limit the use of personally-identifiable information beyond the purposes for which they first provided it.

At all times, however, KABE reserves the right to disclose information where required by law or to comply with valid legal process (such as a search warrant, subpoena or court order), to protect KABE’s rights or property, including without limitation in the event of a transfer of control of KABE or substantially all of its assets, or during emergencies when safety is at risk.

We encourage you to visit this page periodically to review our current privacy policy so that you will always know what information we gather and how we may use that information.

We may revise this policy at any time. Any changes and/or updates to the policy will be updated directly on this page.

For the terms of this policy, KABE and its affiliate and, or, subsidiary websites, mobile applications and digital assets shall hereby be referred to as, ‘KABE Website.’

You acknowledge that this website is copyrighted by Kansas Agri Business Expo. You should not use the KABE Website if you have any objections to this Privacy Policy.

How do we protect visitor information?

Our KABE Website is scanned on a regular basis for security holes and known vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to our KABE Website as safe as possible.

Additionally, your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all sensitive/credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

We implement a variety of security measures when a user enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information.

All credit card transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers.

Cookies and Web Beacons

In order to help enhance the performance and functionality of the KABE Website, we utilize session, persistent and third-party “cookies” that store a small piece of data on a users’ computers and collect certain information about the users’ visit to our KABE Website. We also use cookies to understand users’ browsing and buying activities so that we can measure the success of online advertising campaigns we run on the KABE Website. Our KABE Website also uses web beacons (either directly or from our partners), along with cookies, to determine if a user has visited a particular website. These beacons aid in providing more relevant advertising to the user, as well as measuring the success of an advertising campaign. However, these beacons provide no personally identifiable information.

Cookies are small text files that web servers typically send to users’ computer when they visit a website. Cookies are stored as text files on users’ hard drive, and can be accessed by web servers when the user visits a website or views an advertisement. A session cookie is a cookie that stores information as a user is using the KABE Website but is deleted once the browser session is finished. A persistent cookie is a cookie that stores information as a user utilizes the KABE Website and stores and uses that information in connection with future visits of the user to the KABE Website. Third-party cookies and/or web beacons are cookies or web beacons provided by our technology and/or advertising partners. Any third-party cookie or web beacon that we authorize for use on the KABE Website only collects that information described below for the same stated purposes as if we were directly collecting the information. For a third-party cookie or web beacon, the third-party will have access to the collected information in order to provide us with information or services to enhance the performance and functionality of the KABE Website.

The cookies and web beacons we use collect non-personally identifiable information about users of the Site, including: browser used to access the site, date and time, the URL of the page being loaded, users who have visited a particular website(s), any previously assigned cookie identification (a unique identifier assigned to a user to identify repeat visitors), browser window size, the geographic location of the user, device and operating system used to access the KABE Website. The information we collect from these cookies and web beacons is used to determine information about a user’s visit to our KABE Website, including the number of visits, average time spent, pages viewed, navigation history through the website, and other statistics. This information is used to enhance the users experience while visiting our KABE Website and to improve the performance of our KABE Website by, among other things, allowing us to monitor KABE Website performance, making the KABE Website easier to use, measuring the effectiveness of promotional placements, and tailoring the KABE Website (including the ads and offers a user receives) to better match a user’s interests and preferences.

Users who prefer not to accept cookies can set their Internet browser to notify them when they receive a cookie or to prevent cookies from being placed on their hard drive. If you consent to our collection of cookies and you subsequently wish to withdraw your consent, you will need to manage the settings on your web browser to delete all cookies and disallow further acceptance of cookies. Please note that disabling cookies on your browser will prevent us from tracking your activities in relations to our KABE Website, however, it may also disable some of the functions and features of the KABE Website and the KABE Website may not work properly.
