What Information Do We
Collect? When you visit our Web site you may
provide us with two types of information: personal
information you knowingly choose to disclose that is
collected on an individual basis and Web site use
information collected on an aggregate basis as you and
others browse our Web site.
1. Personal Information You
Choose to Provide Credit Card
Information If you choose to purchase products or
services from us or our partners, you may need to give
personal information and authorization to obtain
information from various credit services. For example,
you may need to provide the following
information: Name Mailing address Email
address Credit card number Home and business
phone number Other personal information (i.e.
mother’s maiden name) Email Information
In
addition to providing the foregoing information to our
partners, if you choose to correspond further with us
through email, we may retain the content of your email
messages together with your email address and our
responses. We provide the same protections for these
electronic communications that we employ in the
maintenance of information received by mail and
telephone.
2. Web Site Use
Information Similar to other commercial Web
sites, our Web site utilizes a standard technology
called “cookies” (see explanation below, “What Are
Cookies?”) and Web server logs to collect information
about how our Web site is used. Information gathered
through cookies and Web server logs may include the date
and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our
Web site, and the Web sites visited just before and just
after our Web site. This information is collected on an
aggregate basis. None of this information is associated
with you as an individual.
How Do We Use the Information
That You Provide to Us? Broadly speaking, we
use personal information for purposes of administering
our business activities, providing customer service and
making available other products and services to our
customers and prospective customers. Occasionally, we
may also use the information we collect to notify you
about important changes to our Web site, new services
and special offers we think you will find valuable. The
lists used to send you product and service offers are
developed and managed under our traditional corporate
standards designed to safeguard the security and privacy
of our customers’ personal information. As a customer,
you will be given the opportunity, at least once
annually, to notify us of your desire not to receive
these offers.
What Are
Cookies? Cookies are a feature of Web browser
software that allows Web servers to recognize the
computer used to access a Web site. Cookies are small
pieces of data that are stored by a user’s Web browser
on the user’s hard drive. Cookies can remember what
information a user accesses on one Web page to simplify
subsequent interactions with that Web site by the same
user or to use the information to streamline the user’s
transactions on related Web pages. This makes it easier
for a user to move from Web page to Web page and to
complete commercial transactions over the Internet.
Cookies should make your online experience easier and
more personalized.
How Do We Use Information We
Collect from Cookies? We use Web site browser
software tools such as cookies and Web server logs to
gather information about our Web site users’ browsing
activities, in order to constantly improve our Web site
and better serve our customers. This information assists
us to design and arrange our Web pages in the most
user-friendly manner and to continually improve our Web
site to better meet the needs of our customers and
prospective customers. Cookies help us collect important
business and technical statistics. The information in
the cookies lets us trace the paths followed by users to
our Web site as they move from one page to another. Web
server logs allow us to count how many people visit our
Web site and evaluate our Web site’s visitor capacity.
We do not use these technologies to capture your
individual email address or any personally identifying
information about you although they do permit us to send
focused online banner advertisements or other such
responses to you.
Sharing Information with
Affiliates From time to time you may notice
offers from outside companies advertised on our Web
site. We take measures to select product or service
providers that are responsible and afford privacy
protections to their customers. However, we cannot make
any representations about the practices and policies of
these companies.
Sharing Information with
Strategic Partners We may enter into strategic
marketing alliances or partnerships with third parties
who may be given access to personal information
including your name, address, telephone number and email
for the purpose of providing you information regarding
products and services that we think will be of interest
to you. In connection with strategic marketing alliances
or partnerships, we will not share information regarding
your social security number or other personal financial
data.
Notice of New Services and
Changes Occasionally, we may also use the
information we collect to notify you about important
changes to our Web site, new services and special offers
we think you will find valuable. As our client, you will
be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire not
to receive these offers by clicking on a response box
when you receive such an offer or by sending us an email
request at help@sierranevadaoutdoors.com.
How Do We Secure Information
Transmissions? When you send confidential
personal credit card information to us on our Web site,
a secure server software which we have licensed encrypts
all information you input before it is sent to us. The
information is scrambled en route and decoded once it
reaches our Web site. Other email that you may send to
us may not be secure unless we advise you that security
measures will be in place prior to your transmitting the
information. For that reason, we ask that you do not
send confidential information such as Social Security or
account numbers to us through an unsecured email.
How Do We Protect Your
Information? Information Security. We utilize
encryption/security software to safeguard the
confidentiality of personal information we collect from
unauthorized access or disclosure and accidental loss,
alteration or destruction.
Evaluation of Information Protection Practices.
Periodically, our operations and business practices are
reviewed for compliance with corporate policies and
procedures governing the security, confidentiality and
quality of our information.
Employee Access, Training and Expectations. Our
corporate values, ethical standards, policies and
practices are committed to the protection of customer
information. In general, our business practices limit
employee access to confidential information, and limit
the use and disclosure of such information to authorized
persons, processes and transactions.
How Can You Access and Correct
Your Information? You may request access to
all your personally identifiable information that we
collect online and maintain in our database by emailing
help@sierranevadaoutdoors.com.
Do We Disclose Information to
Outside Parties? We may provide aggregate
information about our customers, sales, Web site traffic
patterns and related Web site information to our
affiliates or reputable third parties, but this
information will not include personally identifying
data, except as otherwise provided in this Privacy
Policy.
What About Legally Compelled
Disclosure of Information? We may disclose
information when legally compelled to do so, in other
words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law
requires it or for the protection of our legal rights.
What About Other Web Sites
Linked to Our Web Site? We are not responsible
for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or
from our Web site nor the information or content
contained therein. Often links to other Web sites are
provided solely as pointers to information on topics
that may be useful to the users of our Web site.
Please remember that when you use a link to go from
our Web site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy is
no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on
any other Web site, including Web sites which have a
link on our Web site, is subject to that Web site’s own
rules and policies. Please read over those rules and
policies before proceeding.
Your Consent By using
our Web site you consent to our collection and use of
your personal information as described in this Privacy
Policy. If we change our privacy policies and
procedures, we will post those changes on our Web site
to keep you aware of what information we collect, how we
use it and under what circumstances we may disclose it.
