1 Information Collected by Swanson Bark & Wood Products
We will not knowingly use information collected on this
website to others in ways different from what is disclosed
in this statement. Swanson Bark & Wood Products collects information from
our users at several different points on our website.
For purposes of this Privacy Statement, "Personally
Identifiable Information" refers to information
that can directly identify an individual; for example,
such information may include an individual's name, mailing
address, phone number or email address.
1.1 Information that Is Automatically Collected
We use IP addresses, with the help of a business partner,
to analyze trends, administer the website, track users'
movements, and gather broad demographic information
for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to Personally
Identifiable Information.
1.2 Information that Is Collected by Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on a user's hard
drive containing information about that user. By setting
a cookie on our website, the user would not have to
log in with a password more than once, thereby saving
time while on our website. If a user rejects the cookie,
they may still use our website. The only drawback to
this is that the user will be limited in some areas
of our website. Cookies can also enable us to track
and target the interests of our users to enhance the
experience on our website. Some of our business partners
use cookies on our website (for example, advertisers);
however, we have no access to or control over these
cookies.
1.3 Information that Is Actively Submitted to Swanson
Bark & Wood Products
Registrations and Orders. In order to register a domain
name or order services from this website, a user must
create an account and complete a registration process.
During the account creation process, a user must provide
contact information (such as name and email address)
so that we can stay in touch with our users. This information
is also used to fulfill order and registration requests.
To pay for a domain name registration or for other service
ordered, a user must provide contact information (such
as name and shipping address) and financial information
(such as a credit card number and its expiration date).
This information is used for billing purposes, with
the help of our business partner, and to fill users'
orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this
contact information is used to get in touch with the
user.
1.4 Third Party Advertisers on Swanson Bark & Wood
Products's Website
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads
(using methods that include Pixel Tags and Clear Gifs)
when you visit our website. Third-party advertising
companies also separately place or recognize a cookie
file on your browser in the course of delivering advertisements
to this website. These companies may use information
(not including your name, address, email address or
telephone number) about your visits to this and other
websites in order to provide advertisements about goods
and services of interest to you.
1.5 Information Swanson Bark & Wood Products Obtains
from Third Parties
Supplemental Information Collected. In certain circumstances,
in order for our website to properly fulfill its obligation
to our users, it is necessary for us to supplement the
information we receive with information from third party
sources. For example, to determine if our users qualify
for a dotPartner account, we use their name and business
information to request a credit report.
Swanson Bark & Wood Products Accounts Created by a
Third Party on Your Behalf. If you received your domain
name from someone else, without registering for it yourself,
your domain name may belong to a "managed domain."
In a managed domain, the administrator of a company
with whom you have a business relationship (for example,
your ISP) can create your domain name for you. You can
then use the domain name like any other domain name.
The administrator, however, has access to the domain
name and can edit your Swanson Bark & Wood Products
profile, reset your password, and manage the Swanson
Bark & Wood Products account without your additional
consent. In addition to the terms mentioned in this
Privacy Statement, an account created by a third party
allows any of your Personally Identifiable Information
within that account to be available to that third party
as if they were you. We have no access to or control
over the third party to prevent their disclosure of
your information.
2 Communications from Swanson Bark & Wood Products
Welcome Emails and General Correspondence. We send a
welcoming email to the email address associated with
the account a user has created to verify the users password
and username. This process is designed to prevent e-mail
addresses from being used without permission in the
creation of a Swanson Bark & Wood Products account.
Established users will occasionally receive information
on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter.
Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present
the option to not receive some of these types of communications.
Please see our opt-out options below.
Site and Service Updates. We send the user website
and service announcement updates. Users are not permitted
to unsubscribe from service announcements, which contain
important information about the website and/or service.
We may communicate with users to provide services that
users request or to discuss issues relating to their
account.
Surveys & Contests. From time-to-time our website
requests information from users via surveys or contests.
Participation in these surveys or contests is completely
voluntary and, as such, the user has a choice whether
or not to disclose this information. Information requested
may include contact information (such as name and shipping
address), and demographic information (such as zip code,
age level).
3 How Information Collected by Swanson Bark & Wood
Products Is Used
Demographic Information. We will share aggregated demographic
information with our partners and advertisers. The aggregated
demographic information is not linked to any Personally
Identifiable Information that can identify any individual
person.
Communicating with Our Users. We use Personally Identifiable
Information (such as your name, telephone number or
email address) to communicate with our users when they
have questions, concerns or comments about their accounts
or the services that we provide. If you contact us,
we may or may not delete your emails or voicemails to
us.
Information Shared With Third Parties.
· Use a credit card processing company to bill
users for goods and services. These companies do not
use Personally Identifiable Information for any use
other than credit card processing; however, we will
not be responsible or liable for use of the information
required by credit card companies in contravention of
their policies, contractual obligations or general good
business procedures.
- Partner with third parties who provide services
to our users. When the user signs up for or agrees
to receive a specific service provided by the third
party (i.e. PostMasterDirect advertisements), we share
the information that is needed for the third party
to provide the services.
- Share the publicly available domain contact information
submitted by our users for inclusion in the Whois
database with third parties. We do not control the
use of this Personally Identifiable Information by
third parties.
- Share your Personally Identifiable Information
with other entities that are owned by Swanson Bark
& Wood Products, that own Swanson Bark & Wood Products,
or have some sort of corporate ownership relationship
with Swanson Bark & Wood Products.
Addressing Legal Issues. Further, we provide Personally
Identifiable Information to respond to subpoenas, court
orders, or legal process, or to establish or exercise
our legal rights or defend against legal claims. Further,
we believe it is necessary to share Personally Identifiable
Information in order to investigate, prevent, or take
action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud,
situations involving potential threats to the physical
safety of any person, violations of Swanson Bark & Wood
Products's terms of use, or as otherwise required by
law.
4 Correction/Updating Personal Information
Users must provide accurate and correct contact information
(name, postal address, e-mail address, phone number)
for their domain name(s) Registrant, Administrative,
Technical and Billing contacts, which will be listed
in a publicly accessible 'Whois' database, in compliance
with ICANN rules. If a user's Personally Identifiable
Information changes (such as a zip code), or if a user
no longer desires Swanson Bark & Wood Products's services,
we will provide a way to correct, update or remove that
user's personal data provided to us. This can usually
be done under online account management (on your own)
or by emailing our user Support Group for assistance.
5 Opting Out
Users are provided an opportunity to "opt-out"
of having their information used for purposes not directly
related to the services they request. Users who no longer
wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials
from us may opt-out of receiving these communications
by replying and typing "unsubscribe" in the
subject line in the email or email your request to dotnews@Swanson
Bark & Wood Products.com .
6 Terminated Swanson Bark & Wood Products Accounts
If your Swanson Bark & Wood Products account is terminated
or cancelled (regardless of whether it was voluntary),
all of your Personally Identifiable Information will
remain on our servers. We retain and use your Personally
Identifiable Information as necessary to enforce our
policies or to address contractual issues, and may contact
you for future marketing or promotional purposes.
7 Use of the Swanson Bark & Wood Products Website by
Persons Under Age 13
This website is not intended for use by anyone under
the age of thirteen (13), and any individual under such
age should not provide us with Personally Identifiable
Information. We do not knowingly contact, market to,
solicit, collect or use Personally Identifiable Information
from or about any individual under the age of 13. It
is possible that by fraud or deception we may receive
information pertaining to children under 13. If we are
notified of that we have personal information regarding
a person under the age of 13, as soon as we reasonably
verify the information, we will either obtain parental
consent or otherwise delete the information from the
account and/or service. However, the information may
remain on a log in our servers. If you want to notify
us of our receipt of information by children under 13,
please do so by emailing us at: abuse@swansonsbark.com.
8 Linking to Third Party Websites
This website contains links to other websites. Please
be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy
practices of such other websites. We encourage our users

collects Personally Identifiable Information. This Privacy
Statement applies solely to information collected by

and to not share this information with others. If you
choose to reveal or share your password and Swanson
Bark & Wood Products account name, we are unable to
guarantee the security of your account.
