Tree Toad® knows that you care how information about you is used and
shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly.
This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting the treetoad.com web
site, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.
What personal information about you does Tree Toad gather?
The information we learn from you helps us communicate to you about our products
or special offers, personalize and continually improve your shopping experience.
Here are the types of information we gather:
* Information you give us: We receive and store any information you
enter on our web site or give us in any other way (by phone, by mail, by fax,
by e-mail, etc.).
* Automatic information: We receive and store certain types of information
whenever you interact with us through our Web site. For example, like many
Web sites, we use "cookies", and we obtain certain types of information when
your Web browser accesses treetoad.com. Examples of information we collect
and analyze include the Internet Protocol (IP) address used to connect your
computer to the Internet; e-mail address; browser type and version; operating
system and platform; the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL) clickstream
to, through, and from our Web site, including date and time; cookie number;
products you view or search for.
* Information from other sources: For reasons such as improving personalization
of our product offering, we might receive information about you from other
sources and add it to our database. We also sometimes receive updated delivery
and mailing address/e-mail address information from our shippers or other
sources so that we can correct our records and deliver your next purchase
or communicate more easily.
What about Cookies? Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer
to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems
to recognize your browser and to provide features such as personalization
and storage of information you already gave us between visits. This interim
storage will relieve you from re-entering personal data and preferences in
future visits. The "HELP" portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell
you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the
browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies
altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of treetoad.com
ordering features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
How do we use or share the information we collect? TreeToad is not
in the business of selling consumer information to others. We share and use
the information we collect only in order to service you better as described
below: * Postal mail communications: We use postal mail to advise you
about special discounts available, or product information. We share your name
and address information with mailing houses that send on our behalf the information
to you. If you wish not to receive periodical information from us, please
let us know by sending us a message via e-mail or postal mail, or by calling
us toll free at 1-800-479-3099. * E-mail communications: We use e-mail
to communicate with you in a quicker and more efficient way, advising you
about special discounts available, new products, responding to your questions
or to confirm your orders or shipments to you. We share your e-mail address
with companies that send these e-mail messages to you on our behalf. In an
effort to avoid sending you unnecessary or duplicate messages, we compare
periodically our mailing list with lists received from other companies. If
you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please let us know
by sending us a message via e-mail or postal mail, or by calling us toll free
at 1-800-479-3099.
* Agents: We employ other companies or individuals to perform functions
on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling information request, fulfilling
orders, delivering packages, removing duplicate information from our database,
analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments,
and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed
to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. * Promotional
offers from marketing partners: Sometimes we send offers to selected groups
of Tree Toad consumers on behalf of our marketing partners. We try to do so
only to consumers that expressed interest in receiving such offers. If you
do not want to receive offers from our marketing partners, please let us know
by sending us a message via e-mail or postal mail, or by calling us toll free
at 1-800-479-3099. * Business transfers: As we continue to develop
our business, we might sell or buy assets. In such transactions, consumer
information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in
the unlikely event that Tree Toad, or substantially all of its assets are
acquired, consumer information will of course be one on the transferred assets.
* Protection of Tree Toad and Others: We release account or other personal
information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with law; or
protect the rights, property, or safety of Tree Toad, our customers, or others.
This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations
for fraud protection, payment collection and credit risk reduction.
What choices do I have? * You can always choose not to provide information,
even though it might be needed to make a purchase, or to take advantage of
periodical offers and new product information. * If you do not want to receive
e-mail or other mail from us, please let us know by sending us a message via
e-mail or postal mail, or by calling us toll free at 1-800-479-3099. * This
Privacy Notice will always govern your interaction with Tree Toad. It is your
responsibility to review it for changes. * The "HELP" portion of the toolbar
on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting
new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie,
or how to disable cookies altogether. However, you will not be able to order
online if you do not use cookies. Notices, and Revisions If you choose to
visit treetoad.com, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to
this Notice, including limitation on damages, arbitration of disputes, and
application of the law of the state of Minnesota. If you have any concern
about privacy at Tree Toad, please send us a thorough description to contactus@treetoad.com,
and we will try to resolve it. Our business changes constantly. This Notice
will change also, and use of information that we gather now is subject to
the Privacy Notice in effect at the time of use. You should check our web
site frequently to see recent changes.
