YOUR PRIVACY is important, and we want you to understand what information is collected when you visit http://thegoodgarden.com (the Website) and how we use it.
Information You Provide
You do not need to register to use or access the Website. However, the Website may feature comment sections, forums, or message boards for users which require registration for these features, particularly if you wish to leave comments or post information. Please note that any personally identifiable information you provide via comment sections, forums, or message boards accessible via the Website may be read, collated and used by anyone viewing them. We are not responsible for personally identifiable information you may choose to make available through these features.
Should you choose to e-mail us, we will have your e-mail address and whatever other personally identifiable information you send to us. Except as provided in this privacy policy, we will not share your information with any third-party organization without your express consent.
Visitors to our Website have the opportunity to subscribe to receive communications from us, including our e-mail newsletters. We may rely on a third party e-mail marketing company to deliver this service. If you would like to sign up, you will need to provide your email address. You may opt out of receiving any, or all, of these communications by emailing us, by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in any email we send to you, or by replying to any email we send you and entering the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line.
We may employ third-party analytic services that automatically collect anonymous information about visits to the Website and store this information in server log files. This information does not identify individual users: it includes such data as IP addresses, browser types, referring pages, operating system used, and date/time stamps. We do not have direct control over the tools these third-party analytic services use to collect data. We may use this information to get a better sense of how our Website is being used over time.
Our Website may use “cookies” to provide easier and faster access to website features such as log-ins or repeat visits. Cookies are very small text files that are stored on personal computers for reference purposes. We do not link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you have submitted while on our site.
We may use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie makes it easier for you to explore our sites, but expires when your browser is closed. A persistent cookie may stay on your hard drive for an extended period of time, and can perform such activities as storing your log-in information for comment sections, forums, or message boards so you do not have to sign in every time you visit those areas. Persistent cookies may be used to enable us to track and target the interests of users of the Website so as to enhance the visitor’s overall experience.
We may use a third party to serve some of the ads on our Website. A third party may use cookies, web beacons, or both to collect data in the ad-serving process:
•Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website.
•Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
•Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the advertising opt-out page. (Users may, alternatively, opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.)
•Cookies of other third-party vendors or ad networks may also be used to serve ads on this site: A list of these potential vendors, with links to their sites, is located here. Users may visit those websites to opt out of cookies (if the vendor or ad network offers this capability). Users can opt out of some, but not all, of these cookies in one location at the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out website at www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.
Our Website may contain links to other sites that we do not control. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or policies of any website other than our own.
Access to Personally Identifiable Information
If your personally identifiable information changes, or if you no longer wish us to possess your information, you may request correction, updating, or deletion of your information by emailing us.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect any information in our possession. We do not guarantee any absolute security of your information.
Legal Disclaimer
We reserve the right to disclose personally identifiable information as required by law, if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or other legal process.
This privacy policy was updated on November 20, 2014.
