Pine Mountain Garden and Tree Services has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. 

How We Collect and Use Your Information

Many of the ways in which you interact with our site allow us to learn more about you. We collect and store statistics and other information about the online activities of our visitors on an aggregated (collective) basis. We use your IP address, which is assigned to your computer by your ISP, to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Web site. Your IP address, HTTP protocol elements, and computer information are used to gather broad demographic information. We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, to save your Registration ID, so you don’t have to re-enter it each time you visit our site and for other purposes. We also track the number of people who view each page to learn which features are the most popular. But in these, and almost all other instances, we do not obtain personally identifiable information about you.

In those instances where we do collect personally identifiable information, it is only to improve your experience on our site. Examples of voluntarily submitting personally identifiable information include our polls, entering sweepstakes or contests, filling out the registration page, submitting a search, sending us feedback or posting in our chat rooms or message boards.

The more accurate this information is, the better we are able to customize your experience. Our site’s registration form requires users to give us online contact information like their name and E-mail address. This is for personalization purposes, as well as a unique identifier that allows us to contact you if you receive our newsletter or to tell you that you have won one of the sweepstakes offers available to registered users. Additional demographic and preference information (like birthday, profession, children in household, or reason for using Pine Mountain Garden and Tree Services) is to help us customize your experience and develop new features that are most relevant to our users. We use customer contact information from the registration form to send the user information about our company and promotional material from some of our partners if the customer selects to receive such information. Your contact information is only used with your permission to provide you with information about us and is never shared with other companies who may want to contact our visitors unless specific permission to share information is given. We require that any third parties with whom we share your information maintain this data in a confidential manner. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.

We may share personal customer information with our agents, representatives and trusted service providers for the purpose of assisting us in delivering our website content, sending an e-mail about your Pine Mountain Garden and Tree Services) registration or other information you have elected to receive, fulfilling customer orders; administering contests or sweepstakes; providing customer service; enhancing and improving customers’ shopping experiences; and completing credit card transactions. These third parties are not allowed to use this information for any purpose except providing these services on behalf of Pine Mountain Garden and Tree Services. We may also share personal customer information with law enforcement officials in the investigation of alleged unlawful activities related to the use of our site. We will have no legal liability for such disclosures.

Demographic and profile data may be used for marketing and targeting purposes. Tracking how users interact with our site helps us to develop new features and content. We use this data to tailor the visitor’s experience at our site, showing them content that we think they might be interested in, and displaying the content according to their preferences. This information is shared with advertisers only on an aggregate basis, that is, never containing any personally identifiable information.

Our online surveys and contests ask users for contact information (like their e-mail address). We use contact data from our surveys to send the user information about our company and promotional material from some of our partners. The user’s contact information is only used to contact the user when necessary. However, on particular pages where we ask for your personally identifiable information, we may explicitly tell you that the data we are collecting on that page will be shared with third parties, in which case those disclosures shall override anything to the contrary in this policy. For example, before you submit answers to questions we ask in an advertiser-sponsored promotion, we will tell you that your answers will be shared with that advertiser. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the choice/opt-out section below.

We display advertisements on our site. These ads may contain cookies. While we use cookies in other parts of our Web site, cookies received with banner ads may collect anonymous preference and interest visitor information. This information is used to create anonymous interest profiles. This information does not include and is never merged with personally identifiable information (such as name, address or e-mail address) or any information that is considered sensitive or controversial or that would compromise your privacy. These profiles are used to tailor site content, promotions and advertising and to perform market research.

In the event of a complaint, we may also receive personally identifiable information about you from other users or third parties who may communicate information to us about you in relation to that complaint.

Children’s Guidelines

Children’s privacy is of primary concern to us.

1. WE DO NOT collect online contact information without parental notification, which will include an opportunity for the parent to suspend participation in the activity. Without prior parental notification, online information will only be used to respond directly to the child’s request and will not be used for other purposes.

 2. WE DO NOT collect personally identifiable offline contact information from children.

 3. WE DO NOT distribute to third parties any personally identifiable information from children.

 4. WE DO NOT give the ability to publicly post or otherwise distribute personally identifiable contact information without prior parental consent.

We use the VeriSign system and technology, which we believe makes shopping at ThePine Mountain Garden and Tree Services Store just as safe as your neighbourhood store.

ThePine Mountain Garden and Tree Services Store also strive to maintain the security of information stored on our servers to protect against unauthorized access to your personal information.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed 100% security. We recommend that you never reveal your registration ID to anyone. You will never receive a request from Pine Mountain Garden and Tree Services for your registration information in an unsolicited phone call or e-mail. The privacy policy described here applies only to Pine Mountain Garden and Tree Services and not to other companies’ or organizations’ Web sites to which we link or which link to us. Also, while Pine Mountain Garden and Tree Services hope to provide a safe and secure online experience, be very careful about sharing your personal information with other people you might meet as a result of your visit to Pine Mountain Garden and Tree Services.
