Privacy Policy
Customer
Identifiable Information
Protecting
privacy is not a new endeavor for our company. NatureCraft has a long-standing tradition
of recognizing and protecting the privacy of customers who purchase or sell to our
company. Our company maintains strict privacy to safeguard customer information from
unauthorized access.
We recognize
that the growth of online services, including internet services, has created additional
privacy concerns, particularly for consumers.
Online privacy
concerns focus on the protection of "customer identifiable" information which an
individual reasonably expects to be kept private. As the term suggests, "customer
identifiable" information is information which can be associated with a specific
individual or entity, including, for example, a customers name, address, or
telephone number, e-mail address, payment and other information about online activities
that are directly linked to them.
It is common
practice and often a necessity for companies, governments, or other organizations to
collect customer identifiable information in order to conduct business. For example, a
company may collect customer identifiable information, such as name, address, telephone
number, and a variety of other information in the course of billing and providing service
to a customer.
Some activities
on the Internet follow very similar patterns. Consumers signing up to purchase a service
or product, for example, are usually asked to provide name, address, telephone number and
credit card and other information that is typical when the consumer orders something.
Similarly, business web sites may ask visitors to supply information about themselves,
particularly when information, services or merchandise are requested, but often simply to
be able to better target the company's services and products to the customer's interests
and requirements.
NatureCrafts
Online Privacy Policy
NatureCraft has in
place the following online privacy policy to protect customer identifiable information.
This policy covers NatureCraft, its shops and its subsidiaries and applies to all customer
identifiable information that NatureCraft obtains when a customer registers for or uses an
online service, including visiting a NatureCraft owned web site.
NatureCraft
protects online customer identifiable information as follows:
Disclosure
- NatureCraft will not sell, trade, or disclose to third parties any customer
identifiable information derived from the registration for or use of an online service --
including customer names and addresses -- without the consent of the customer (except as
required by subpoena, search warrant, or other legal process or in the case of imminent
physical harm to the customer or others). When NatureCraft uses other agents, contractors
or companies to perform services on its behalf, NatureCraft will ensure that the company
protects your customer identifiable information consistent with this Policy.
Collection
& Use - NatureCraft will collect and use customer identifiable
information for billing purposes, to anticipate and resolve problems, or upon your request
to create and inform you of products and services that better meet your needs. This means
that NatureCraft may use your customer identifiable information upon your request to
market new products and services to you that we think will be of interest to you, but we
will not disclose this customer identifiable information to third parties who want to
market products to you.
Customer
Choice - A customer may choose not to receive direct marketing
communications from us. Upon such choice, NatureCraft will not contact the customer
directly with marketing messages about any NatureCraft products or services. A customer
may choose not to receive such messages by e-mail, by mail, or by telephone. For
information and instructions about how to make this choice Click Here
or send email to mailinglist@naturecraft.net
with the word "remove" in the subject line. If you wish to be added to our
mailing list send email to mailinglist@naturecraft.net
with the words add me in the subject line. Customer-identifiable information
which a visitor volunteers at one of the NatureCraft web sites to order products and
services will be protected just as if the information had been provided under more
traditional ways of ordering.
Collection
of Usage Data - Our server automatically gathers information about
which sites customers visit on the Internet and which pages are visited within a
NatureCraft web site. The company does not use
that information except in the aggregate.
E-mail
Contents - Our company will not disclose to third parties private
e-mail communications that are transmitted except as required by law.
Improper
Conduct - NatureCraft may use customer identifiable information to
investigate and help prevent potentially unlawful activity or activity that threatens or
otherwise violates us, our distributors or you, the customer.
Account
Information - NatureCraft honors requests from customers for account
information, for example, name, address, or billing information, and will correct any such
information, which may be inaccurate. Customers may verify that appropriate corrections
have been made.
Customer
Concerns - If you are a consumer with concerns about the NatureCraft
online privacy policy or its implementation you may contact us at
937-434-5022 Monday
through Friday 9 A.M. until 5 P.M. Eastern standard time or send an email to us here privacy@naturecraft.net.
Changes in
Practices - NatureCraft will keep this Policy current. Any changes
that we make will be posted on this web site.
Additional
Privacy Protections for Children Using the Internet
NatureCraft
joins the industry in recognizing that children, including young teens, may not be able to
make informed choices about personal information requested online.
Accordingly,
NatureCraft does not target children or teenagers (younger than eighteen years of age) for
collection of information online. NatureCraft does not solicit or collect customer
identifiable information targeted at children and teenagers under eighteen and does not
allow anyone else to do so on a NatureCraft web site. In addition, the editorial content
of NatureCraft web sites designed for children will not knowingly promote or link to any
third party web site that collects customer identifiable information.
In addition, on
all of its online services and NatureCraft web sites, NatureCraft will encourage children
to seek the consent of their parents before providing any information about themselves or
their households to anyone on the Internet.
Finally,
NatureCraft encourages parents to take an active role to protect the privacy and security
of their children and to prevent the inappropriate use of information about their
children. NatureCraft supports the development of technologies that help parents to
control the collection and use of personal information from children who use online
services in their households. |
