Information
Collection and Use
Information
Collection
Wood Trim,
Inc. is the sole owner of the information
collected on www.dashtrims.com. Wood Trim, Inc.
collects information from our users at several
different points on our Web site.
Order
We request information from the user on our
order form. A user must provide contact
information (such as name, email, and shipping
address) and financial information (such as
credit card number, expiration date). This
information is used for billing purposes and to
fill customer’s orders. If we have trouble
processing an order, the information is used to
contact the user.
Information Use
Profile
We store information
that we collect through cookies, log files,
clear gifs, and/or third parties to create a
profile of our users. A profile is stored
information that we keep on individual users
that details their viewing preferences.
Consequently, collected information is tied to
the users personally identifiable information to
provide offers and improve the content of the
site for the user. This profile is used to
tailor a user’s visit to our Web site, and to
direct pertinent marketing promotions to them.
We do not share your profile with other third
parties.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece
of data stored on the user’s computer tied to
information about the user. [Usage of a cookie
is in no way linked to any personally
identifiable information while on our site.] We
use session ID cookies. For the session ID
cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie
simply terminates.
By setting a cookie
on our site, users would not have to log in a
password more than once, thereby saving time
while on our site. If users reject the cookie,
they may still use our site. The only drawback
to this is that the user will be limited in some
areas of our site. For example, the user will
not be able to participate in any of our
sweepstakes, contests or monthly drawings that
take place.
Some of our business
partners use cookies on our site (for example,
advertisers). However, we have no access to or
control over these cookies, once we have given
permission for them to set cookies for
advertising.
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log
files. This includes internet protocol (IP)
addresses, browser type, internet service
provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform
type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to
analyze trends, administer the site, track
user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather
broad demographic information for aggregate
use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to
personally identifiable information.
Communications from
the Site
Newsletter
If a user wishes to
subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact
information such as name and email address. Out
of respect for our users privacy we provide a
way to opt-out of these communications. Please
see the Choice and Opt-out sections.
Customer Service
We communicate with users on a regular basis to
provide requested services and in regards to
issues relating to their account we reply via
email or phone, in accordance with the users
wishes.
Sharing
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every
effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to
disclose personal information when required by
law wherein we have a good-faith belief that
such action is necessary to comply with a
current judicial proceeding, a court order or
legal process served on our Web site.
Third Party
Intermediaries
We use an outside
shipping company to ship orders, and a credit
card processing company to bill users for goods
and services. These companies do not retain,
share, store or use personally identifiable
information for any secondary purposes.
Business Transitions
In the event Wood
Trim, Inc. goes through a business transition,
such as a merger, being acquired by another
company, or selling a portion of its assets,
users’ personal information will, in most
instances, be part of the assets transferred.
Users will be notified via E-Mail prior to a
change of ownership or control of their personal
information. If as a result of the business
transition, the users’ personally identifiable
information will be used in a manner different
from that stated at the time of collection they
will be given choice consistent with our
notification of changes section.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given
the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their
information used for purposes not directly
related to our site at the point where we ask
for information. For example, our order form
has an ‘opt-out’ mechanism so users who buy a
product from us, but don’t want any marketing
material, can keep their email address off of
our lists.
Users of our site
are always notified when their information is
being collected by any outside parties. We do
this so our users can make an informed choice as
to whether or not they should proceed with
services that require an outside party.
Links
This Web site
contains links to other sites. Please be aware
that we, Wood Trim, Inc., are not responsible
for the privacy practices of such other sites.
We encourage our users to be aware when they
leave our site and to read the privacy
statements of each and every Web site that
collects personally identifiable information.
This privacy statement applies solely to
information collected by this Web site.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time
our site requests information from users via
surveys or contests. Participation in these
surveys or contests is completely voluntary and
the user therefore has a choice whether or not
to disclose this information. Contact
information will be used to notify the winners
and award prizes. Anonymous Survey information
will be used for purposes of monitoring or
improving the use and satisfaction of this
site. Users’ personally identifiable
information is not shared with third parties
unless we give prior notice and choice. Though
we may use an intermediary to conduct these
surveys or contests, they may not use users’
personally identifiable information for any
secondary purposes.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for
informing a friend about our site, we could ask
them for the friend’s name and email address.
Wood Trim, Inc. will automatically send the
friend a one-time email inviting them to visit
the site. Wood Trim, Inc. stores this
information for the sole purpose of sending this
one-time email and tracking the success of our
referral program. The friend may contact Wood
Trim, Inc. at INSERT URL to request the removal
of this information from our database.
Security
This Web site takes
every precaution to protect our users’
information. When users submit sensitive
information via the Web site, their information
is protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form
asks users to enter sensitive information (such
as credit card number and/or social security
number), that information is encrypted and is
protected with the best encryption software in
the industry - SSL. While on a secure page,
such as our order form, the lock icon on the
bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape
Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer
becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or
open, when users are just ‘surfing’.
While we use SSL
encryption to protect sensitive information
online, we also do everything in our power to
protect user-information off-line. All of our
users’ information, not just the sensitive
information mentioned above, is restricted in
our offices. Only employees who need the
information to perform a specific job (for
example, our billing clerk or a customer service
representative) are granted access to personally
identifiable information. Our employees must
use password-protected screen-savers when they
leave their desk. When they return, they must
re-enter their password to re-gain access to
user information. Furthermore, ALL employees
are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy
practices. Every [quarter], as well as any time
new policies are added, our employees are
notified and/or reminded about the importance we
place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure
our users’ information is protected. Finally,
the servers that store personally identifiable
information are in a secure environment.
If users have any
questions about the security at our Web site,
users can send an email to
info@bdtrims.com
Supplementation of
Information
In order for this
Web site to properly fulfill its obligation to
users it is necessary for us to supplement the
information we receive with information from 3rd
party sources.
Enhancement of
Marketing Profile
We purchase third
party marketing data and add it to our existing
user database to better target our advertising
and provide pertinent offers we think our users
would be interested in. We use this information
to enhance or overlay the ‘profile’ of
individual users. This aggregate marketing data
is therefore tied to the users’ personally
identifiable information. See also the
“Profile.”
Correcting/Updating/Deleting/Deactivating
Personal Information
If a user’s personally
identifiable information changes (such as zip
code, phone, email or postal address), or if a
user no longer desires our service, we provide a
way to correct, update or delete/deactivate
users’ personally identifiable information. This
can usually be done by emailing our Customer
Support at
info@bdtrims.com
Notification of
Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we
will post those changes to this privacy
statement, the homepage, and other places we
deem appropriate so our users are always aware
of what information we collect, how we use it,
and under what circumstances, if any, we
disclose it. We will use information in
accordance with the privacy policy under which
the information was collected.
If, however, we are going to use users’
personally identifiable information in a manner
different from that stated at the time of
collection we will notify users via email. Users
will have a choice as to whether or not we use
their information in this different manner.
However, if users have opted out of all
communication with the site, or
deleted/deactivated their account, then they
will not be contacted, nor will their personal
information be used in this new manner. In
addition, if we make any material changes in our
privacy practices that do not affect user
information already stored in our database, we
will post a prominent notice on our Web site
notifying users of the change. In some cases
where we post a notice we will also email users,
who have opted to receive communications from
us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy
practices.
