Privacy
Policy
Haddon House, Inc. (or
"we") owns and operates this website (the "Site"). We
have created this Privacy Policy to let you know what
information we may collect from you on the Site and
how we may use that information. Please take a moment
to review the terms of our Privacy Policy. By using
the Site, you agree to accept the terms of our Privacy
Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy
Policy, please do not use the Site. This Privacy Policy
applies only to information collected on the Site and
does not apply to information which we may collect by
other means, except as provided in the "Your California
Privacy Rights" section below.
YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY
RIGHTS
The following only applies to California residents who

If we collect your name or other personal information
from you (whether online or offline), we may occasionally
make that personal information available to our affiliates
or other home and gardening companies who have products
or services that we believe will be of interest to you,
for their direct marketing purposes. If you do not want
us to share your personal information with these companies
for their direct marketing purposes, please tell us,
via e-mail here. Your opt out request
will be processed within thirty (30) days of the date
on which we receive it. For more information on how
your personal information is collected, used and shared,
please read the remainder of this Privacy Policy.
PERSONAL INFORMATION
Information We May Collect
You are not required to provide any personal information
in order to obtain general access to the Site. However,
in order to access certain information, services or
features contained on the Site, we may require you to
provide personal information such as your name, e-mail
address, mailing address and phone number. For example,
we will collect certain personal information if you
choose to request product literature, videos or other
informational materials, order products offered for
sale on the Site, subscribe to our online newsletter,
or send questions or comments to us via e-mail.
We ask that you provide your name, state and zip code
if you ask us a question, as the answer may depend on
where you live. In addition, if you would like to purchase
products or merchandise offered for sale on the Site
using a credit card, we will collect your credit card
information.
How We May Use Your Information
If you provide us with personal information, we may
retain and use that information for several purposes.
For example, we may use your personal information in
order to process and fulfill any transactions or services
that you request, such as delivering any products and
merchandise that you purchase on the Site (including
any customary follow-up or confirmation communications
regarding such transactions) or e-mailing our newsletter
to you if you are a subscriber. We may also use personal
information to ensure compliance with our policies and
applicable law.
In addition, we may send you periodic communications
by e-mail or regular mail if you do not opt out of receiving
them. For example, we may provide you with special offers
or information on our products. If you wish to opt out
of receiving communications from us at any time, we
give users the following options for doing so:
• You can click the “No” button on
those areas of the Site where we provide you with the
option of receiving special offers or other information
via e-mail.
• You can click here to email
us your request to opt-out. Please put the words “Opt-Out”
in the subject of your email to us.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We may sometimes use other businesses to perform certain
services for us, such as processing orders and delivering
our products or videos, sending postal mail and providing
marketing assistance and data analysis. We may provide
personal information to those businesses when that information
is necessary for them to complete a requested transaction
or otherwise perform their duties. In addition, if you
request product literature or if you order a product
from us on the Site, we may make your name and mailing
address (but not your e-mail address) available to other
home and gardening companies who have products or services
that we believe will be of interest to you. If you do
not want your name and mailing address given to these
companies, please tell us, via e-mail here.
Except as provided in this Privacy Policy, we will not
share your personal information with any third parties.
Finally, we reserve the right to disclose visitor information
in special cases when we have reason to believe that
disclosing this information is necessary to identify,
contact or bring legal action against someone who may
be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally
or unintentionally) our rights or property, other visitors,
or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.
This includes our right to exchange information with
other organizations in order to protect against fraud
and to reduce credit risk. We also reserve the right
to disclose visitor information when we believe in good
faith that the law requires it.
AGGREGATE INFORMATION
From time to time, we may collect general, non-personal,
statistical information about the use of the Site, such
as how many visitors visit a specific page on the Site,
how long they stay on that page, and which hyperlinks,
if any, they “click” on. We collect this
information through the use of technologies such as
“cookies” and “IP addresses”,
which are discussed in greater detail below. We collect
this information in order to determine which areas of
the Site are most popular and to enhance the Site for
visitors. We may also group this information into aggregate
visitor data in order to describe the use of the Site
to our existing or potential business partners, sponsors,
advertisers or other third parties, or in response to
a government request. However, please be assured that
this aggregate data will in no way personally identify
you or any other visitors to the Site.
IP Addresses
An IP address is a number that’s automatically
assigned to your computer whenever you’re surfing
the web. Web servers, the big computers that “serve
up” webpages, automatically identify your computer
by its IP address. We collect IP addresses for purposes
of system administration, to report aggregate information
to our advertisers, and to track the use of the Site.
When visitors request pages from the Site, our servers
log the visitors’ IP addresses. It is not our
practice to link IP addresses to anything personally
identifiable, which means that a visitor’s session
will be logged, but the visitor remains anonymous to
us. However, we reserve the right to use IP addresses
to identify a visitor only when we feel it is necessary
to enforce compliance with the Site’s policies
or to protect our service or customers, the Site, or
others.
Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers
to an individual’s hard drive for record-keeping
purposes. Cookies make web-surfing easier for you by
saving your preferences while you’re at the Site.
We never save credit card information in cookies. The
use of cookies is an industry standard -- you’ll
find them at most websites. By showing how and when
visitors use the Site, cookies help us see which areas
are popular and which are not. Information such as the
total number of visitors and pages viewed is most easily
tracked with cookies. We may use the information from
cookies to make improvements and updates to the Site
and to tailor our services to our visitors’ needs.
You always have the option of disabling cookies using
your browser preferences. You can reset your browser
to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being
sent. However, please be aware that some features of
the Site may not function properly or may be slower
if you refuse cookies. You may occasionally get cookies
from our advertisers or other third parties with links
on the Site. We do not control these cookies. The use
of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is
standard in the Internet industry.
SURVEYS
Certain areas of the Site may feature online surveys,
such as the online check-out area when you order our
products. These surveys are completely optional and
voluntary. They give you the opportunity to tell us
more about yourself. We may link your survey responses
with personal information we have previously collected
from you, in which case we will treat your survey information
as “personal information” under this Privacy
Policy. We may use survey responses to tailor the Site
and our communications to our visitors’ interests,
and we may also group survey information into anonymous
aggregate visitor data.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
Please be aware that when you are on the Site, you could
be directed to other sites that are beyond our control.
There may be links to other sites from the Site’s
pages that take you outside the Site. These other sites
may send their own cookies to visitors, collect data
or solicit personal information. The privacy policies
of these other sites may be significantly different
from this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for
the privacy practices of these other sites and cannot
guarantee the security of any of your personal information
collected there.
SECURITY
Protecting the security of your personal information
is very important to us. When you transmit personal
information from your PC to our servers, your information
is protected by both a “firewall” (a combination
of computer hardware and software that helps keep unauthorized
visitors from accessing information within our computer
network) and industry standard SSL (secure socket layer)
encryption. Once we receive your transmission, we will
take reasonable precautions to ensure its security on
our systems. Unfortunately, no data transmission over
the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As
a result, while we strive to protect your personal information
and privacy, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security
of any information you disclose or transmit to us online
and cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction,
or inadvertent disclosure of your personal information.
PRIVACY POLICY FOR CHILDREN
We do not knowingly collect information from children
under the age of 13 on the Site. If you are under the
age of 13, please do not provide any personal information
to us.
CHANGES TO THESE TERMS
The terms of this Privacy Policy may change from time
to time. We will notify you of any material changes
to this Privacy Policy by posting a notice on the homepage
of the Site for a reasonable period of time after such
changes are made that this Privacy Policy has been updated,
and by changing the “Last Modified” date
at the top of this Privacy Policy. We encourage you
to check this page periodically for any changes. Your
continued use of the Site following the posting of changes
to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
QUESTIONS
Any questions that you may have regarding this Privacy
Policy should be directed to us via email. |
