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.
