At the Wright, we recognize your expectation of privacy and confidentiality of personal information. We have taken great care in establishing and implementing policies and procedures and have committed to an ongoing review of those policies and procedures to protect your personal and financial information.

Your privacy is a top priority in all aspects of our business. Our employees are informed of their responsibility to protect your confidential information and are governed by strict standards of conduct, which prohibit unauthorized use of your information. Security procedures and internal controls are also in place to protect your privacy.

We do not give, sell or transfer any personal information to third parties, unless required by law or under such other permissible purposes as set forth by regulation.

Information Collected and Stored Automatically

On our website, we collect and store information about your visit for security reasons, as well as for site research and enhancement. We do not track or record information about individuals and their visits. Through the use of Cookies (a file placed on your hard drive by a website that allows it to monitor your use of the site), we automatically collect and store only the following information about your visit:

  • Your internet domain (for example, "xcompany.com") if you use a private Internet access account and IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access our site;
  • The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
  • The date and time you access our site;

  • If you linked to our site from another website, the address of that website.

Information Collected from Emails and Web Forms

If you complete one of our interactive forms or send a message through our website, your information will be used as described at the point of collection. It may be seen and used by employees of the Wright, but will not be provided to non-affiliated third parties. If you are not comfortable providing the requested information via email or web forms, please contact us by calling 313-494-5800 or by writing to us at 315 East Warren Avenue, Detroit, Michigan 48201.

We may use third-party suppliers and/or service providers to facilitate our services. For example, we may outsource one or more aspects of our site to a supplier or service provider who performs services according to our requirements. In all cases, we restrict how these suppliers or service providers may access, use or disclose your information. In general, we do not permit these suppliers or service providers to retain, disclose or sell your information to third parties.

Security, Intrusion, and Detection

Data encryption – If you are using a security-enabled browser (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer version 2.1 or greater, or Netscape Navigator version 2.0 or greater), the information you provide us is encrypted, making it extremely difficult to read, even if it is wrongly intercepted. Our website uses industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to allow for the encryption of potentially sensitive information such as your name and address and any additional sensitive information.

For Web site security purposes and to ensure that this site remains available to all users, traffic on the site is monitored to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or cause damage. Unauthorized attempts to upload or change information on to this website are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under the law.
