Privacy statement

Introduction
Knife River recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of all information provided by visitors to this website. We created the following policy guidelines to guide our relationships with our users based on a fundamental respect for your right to privacy.

Collection and Security of Personal Information
Knife River collects some information voluntarily offered by users of this website. Knife River uses reasonable precautions to maintain the security of the personal information of users and to disclose such information only to third parties after permission from the user. However, no security system is perfect. Therefore, Knife River is not responsible if someone manages to circumvent our security measurers and gain access to the database, including information pertaining to individual users, nor can we be responsible for any use, reproduction, or disclosure they may make of it.

Disclosure to Third Parties
Knife River may disclose specific user information (such as identity and contact information) if we believe that such disclosure is necessary or desirable to: (i) fulfill legal or regulatory requirements, (ii) protect our rights or those of others, (iii) prevent or mitigate harm or damage of any kind or nature, or (iv) address or seek redress for a violation of these Terms of Use or other obligations to Knife River or any third party, including our partners, advertisers, and other users.

Additionally, Knife River may collect, analyze, and disclose to others aggregated information (which includes users’ specific information but only as an unidentifiable part of the aggregate) gathered from overall use of the website or particular features or areas of the website. Among other purposes, this information allows us to analyze usage trends so that we can maintain an effective, responsive site.

Finally, if Knife River, or one of our lines of business, is sold, merged with, or otherwise acquired by a third party, your information may be (i) disclosed, under duty of confidentiality, to a potential purchaser or merger partner as part of the pre-closing due diligence process, or (ii) included among the transferred assets.

Contact by Knife River
Through the use of e-mail addresses provided at registration or otherwise, Knife River periodically sends out e-mail newsletters and promotional e-mail to our users about services and products offered by Knife River. Upon request, we will remove you (and your information) from our database or permit you to otherwise “opt-out” of any further e-mail newsletters or contact.

Partners, Linked Sites, and Advertisers
In addition to the information we collect, our partners or advertisers may collect information that you provide in connection with a co-branded page, such as partner-sponsored contest on the website. In such cases, the information is the property of the sponsoring partner, as well as Knife River. Additionally, if you provide information to a website that is linked to this website, the information is the property of the linked site’s owner – and may be used as outlined in that site’s privacy policy, Knife River is not responsible for the content terms of use, privacy policies, or acts or omissions of websites to which we may provide links or the websites of our business partners or advertisers. We do not necessarily recommend or endorse the services or goods offered by any co-branding partner, advertiser, or linked site.

Changes to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy
Knife River may revise the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy from time to time. Unless stated otherwise, changes will become effective immediately upon their posting. Knife River will usually post a notice on the home page of the website if we have revised the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy in the past seven days; however, you should check the applicable areas of the website regularly to ensure you are apprised of any new changes.
