Effective November 1, 2020

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy describes the manner in which J. T. McKinney Co., Inc., Mckinney Vehicle Services, Inc. (each doing business as Mckinney Trailer Rentals), and their respective affiliates (collectively, “Mckinney” or “we”) collect, use, maintain and disclose information collected from users (each, a “User” or “you”) of the website located at https://www.mckinneytrailers.com (our “Website”) and any derivative or affiliated websites on which this Privacy Policy is posted. It also explains your privacy rights, and how you can manage the privacy of your personal information collected through the Website.

1. Information Mckinney Gathers.

We collect several types of information from and about users of our Website, including information:

• By which you may be personally identified, such as name, driver’s license number, IP address, mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, or any other identifier by which you may be contacted online or offline ("personal information");
• That our browser sends whenever you access our Website by or through a computer or mobile device, such as your computer’s or mobile device’s Internet Protocol address, browser type/version, Website pages that you visit (and amount of time spent on each page), the time and date of your visit, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data (collectively, “Usage Data”).  At times, the combination of various types of data, including Usage Data, may enable you to be identified, and may therefore qualify as personal information.

2. How we Collect Information.

There are a number of different ways that Mckinney receives and collects Usage Data and personal information from you. These may include, but are not limited to:

• Personal Information Provided to Us. We receive and store any personal information you give us when you: (i) use the online “Request a Quote” form; (ii) use the online login form; (iii) use the online credit application; or (iv) telephone or email us to request assistance with or information about our products or services. Additionally, if you communicate with us by e-mail or otherwise, complete any other online form, survey or entry, provide information outside of the membership registration process or online credit application, or otherwise interact with or use the features on the Mckinney Website, any information you provide (including your name, postal address, telephone number, Internet Protocol address or e-mail address) may be collected by Mckinney. We have collected personal information from users within the last 12 months.
•  Automatic Data Collection Technologies. Whenever you visit the Mckinney Website, our web server (which may be hosted by a third-party) automatically collects and aggregates Usage Data with respect to your visit. The Website gathers some Usage Data through cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies. A “cookie” is a small amount of data that is sent to your computer from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. When you initially visit the Website, a “cookie” may be sent to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser. The cookie is read by us each time you visit the Website. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if your browser is set to refuse cookies, the Website may not work through your Web browser.
• Information from Third Parties. We obtain certain kinds of information about you from third parties. For example, we obtain anonymous information, such as user activity, demographic information, and general location from Google Analytics.

3. Purposes for Collecting, Processing, and Using Your Information

Mckinney uses, collects, and processes (or asks our service providers to process on our behalf) your information to better serve you and our other customers, provide a valuable online experience, help us operate the Mckinney website effectively, communicate with you about our products, services and special promotions, verify your credit status, and customize future services for you. We also use such information for statistical and marketing purposes as well as to improve our understanding of our Users and their preferences.

4. Links to Third Party Websites

We may offer links from our website to other third-party websites that we think may be of interest to you. Third party websites are not operated or controlled by Mckinney and thus are not governed by this Privacy Policy. Mckinney makes no representation as to their practices for dealing with your personal information. We recommend that you check the privacy policy of any third-party website to determine its privacy practices.

5. When Mckinney Shares Information It Receives

Mckinney does not sell your personal information to any third party.  We do share User information, however, in connection with the ordinary operation of our business, which may include the following:

• Product and Service Providers. We may use personally identifiable information collected through the Website for the specific purposes for which the information was collected, to contact Users regarding products and services offered by Mckinney, and to otherwise enhance the User’s experience with Mckinney. We may also use information collected through the Mckinney website for research regarding the effectiveness of the Mckinney website and the business planning, marketing, advertising and sales efforts of Mckinney.
• Protection of Mckinney and Others. We may disclose personal information at the request of law enforcement or governmental agencies or in response to subpoenas, court orders or other legal process, to establish, protect or exercise Mckinney’s legal or other rights or to defend against a legal claim or as otherwise required or allowed by law. We may disclose personal information in order to protect the rights, property or safety of you or any other person. Mckinney may disclose personal information to investigate or prevent a violation by a User of any contractual or other relationship with Mckinney or the perpetration of any illegal or harmful activity. We may also disclose aggregate, anonymous data based on information collected from Users to investors and potential partners.
• Quality Assurance. We may record and reproduce information you provide, and records created by your use of the Mckinney website for quality assurance and technical assistance purposes or for verifying a User’s compliance with this Agreement or the law. We may also combine the information you provide with information derived from other Users to create “aggregate data” that we use internally.
• Trusted Affiliates. We may disclose personal information collected from Users to our trusted affiliates, independent contractors and business partners who will use the information for the purposes outlined above, as necessary to provide the services offered by Mckinney and to provide the Mckinney Website itself, and for the specific purposes for which the information was collected. Our providers will have access to member information only to the extent that it assists them in performing their functions for our Users and customers.
• Merger or Sale of Business. As we mentioned above, Mckinney does not sell individuals’ personal information. Please note, however, that if we sell all or part of our business, make a sale or transfer of assets, or are otherwise involved in a merger or similar significant business transaction, we may transfer your personal information to a third party as part of any such transaction. If such transaction materially affects the manner in which your personal information is used or processed, we will notify you of such change prior to its implementation.

6. Security of Your Information

We work to protect the security of your information by using the same industry standard security measures we use to protect our own proprietary information. In addition, Mckinney is not in the business of selling customer information; therefore, you can be assured that your information will not be sold in the normal course of Mckinney’s business. However, Mckinney does not and cannot ensure, warrant or guarantee the security or integrity of any information transmitted to us over the internet or stored on our systems. While we endeavor to keep confidential information secure, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and Mckinney cannot guarantee that the information submitted to, maintained on or transmitted from its systems will be completely secure. Mckinney is not responsible for the circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures relating to the Mckinney website by any Users or third parties.
