 1.    What Personal Information Do We   Collect? 
          
            Information You Provide.  We receive and store information you   enter.  For example, when you search for   or buy a product or service, or when you supply information such as your   address, phone number or credit card. You can choose not to provide certain   information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of some of our   features.  We use the information that   you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future   shopping for you, improving our website, and communicating with you.  In addition, if you choose, we may share your   information with other companies who provide goods or services that you are   interested in.  Please see the   “opt-in/opt-out” selection in Section 4 of this policy. 
            Cookies. Like many websites, we use   "cookies".  Cookies are small programs   that we transfer to your hard drive that allow us to recognize you and to   provide you with a customized shopping experience.  If you do not want us to use cookies, you can   easily disable them by going to the toolbar of your web browser, and clicking on   the “help” button.  Follow the   instructions that will prevent the browser from accepting cookies, or set the   browser to inform you when you receive a new cookie.  In addition, you may visit this and other   websites anonymously through the use of utilities provided by other private   companies. 
            Other Information: Every computer has an   IP (Internet Protocol) address.  IP   addresses of computers used to visit this site are noted.  In addition, we automatically collect other   information such as email addresses, browser types, operating systems, and the   URL addresses of sites clicked to and from this site. 
            Information from Other Sources.  We might receive information about you from   other sources and add it to our account information.  This may include updated delivery and address   information from our shippers or other sources so that we can correct our   records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily.   2.  How Do We Use Your   Information? 
          
            Customized Shopping.  We use your information to better serve   you by providing a customized shopping experience.  As noted above, you may “opt-out” of this   customization, or even visit and shop anonymously. 
            Agents. We employ other companies and   individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include delivering   packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, and processing credit card payments.   They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but   may not use it for other purposes.   
            
            Special Offers.  We may send you special offers from time to   time, unless you choose to “opt-out” of receiving such offers.  In addition, we may also send you special   offers from other companies.  Again, you   may “opt-out”.  If we send you offers   from other businesses, we do not share your personal information with them.  The offers come directly through us.  Please see the “opt-in/opt-out” selection at   the end of this policy.    
            
            Business Transfers. As we continue to   develop our business, we might sell or buy stores or assets. In such   transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business   assets. Also, in the unlikely event that we are acquired, customer information   will be one of the transferred assets.   
            
            Law Enforcement.   If   we receive a lawful court order to release account or other personal information   then we will comply with the law.  We   will also release information when necessary to protect the life, safety or   property of others. This includes exchanging information with other companies   and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.   3.  How Do We Protect the Security of Your   Information?  
          
            We work to protect the security of your   information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software,   which encrypts information you input.   
            
            We use encryption to protect your information   contained in our customer list.   
            
            We use a firewall to protect against unlawful   intrusion.   
            
            We limit access to your information on a “need   to know” basis. 
            We reveal only the last five digits of your   credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire   credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order   processing.   
            
            It is important for you to protect against   unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off   when finished using a shared computer.   
            
            No system can guarantee absolute security, just as the finest lock   can not guarantee physical security.    However, we take every reasonable precaution to assure that your data is   secure. 4.  Your Choice:  Opt-in or Opt-out. It is your choice whether   to receive emails or special offers from us or others.  The following section provides you with this   choice.  Please note the default   settings. 
	      
	        ·        Please send me email or other mail informing me of special offers of   your products or services.·        Please do not send me email or other mail informing me of special   offers of your products or services.·        Please send me email or other mail informing me of special offers of   related products or services from other companies.·        Please do not send me email or other mail informing me of special   offers of related products or services from other companies. 5.    Children We do not sell   products or services to children. If you are under 18, you may use this site   only with involvement of a parent or guardian. 6.  Other   Websites Various Web sites may   be linked to from this site.  If you link   to another site, your privacy depends on the policy of that site.  We strongly urge you to check their privacy   policy.  Not all sites guarantee that   they will not share your personally identifiable information with others.  You may also wish to consult privacy   guidelines such as those recommended by the Online Privacy Alliance (www.privacyalliance.org). 7.  Contact Us If you would like   to learn more about our privacy policy, or to access your personally   identifiable information contained on our website, you may contact us at info@gatesandrailings.net.  You will be required to provide identifier   information to assure that this information is not released to others.  We reserve the right to modify this policy in   the future.  If we do so, notice will be   posted on our home page. NOTES Section 1.   Different sites will collect different   information.  For example, if you do not   collect credit card information, do not include this.  YOUR site must be customized for the data   that you collect.  Same with   cookies.  If you do not use them, simply   state that.  Section 2.  It is highly recommended   that you not sell your customer lists or other personally identifiable   information to others, e.g. marketing firms or other companies.  It is far better to rent out a one time use   of selected customers, where YOU send out the email offers of another   company.  That way the information never   leaves your premises and is always under your control.  If however you plan to sell or rent the p.i.   information of your customers, you should inform them of this possibility and   give them an opportunity to opt-out of that action. Section 3.  You must provide the   security you promise.  Different levels   of security are appropriate for different types of businesses.  You should certainly have a firewall and   limited access protection, at a minimum.    Encryption of the customer list is highly recommended, and is getting   easier. Section 4.  The opt-in/opt-out section   is very important.  The bullets represent   clickable choices, that is, circles that can be dotted.  You will want to set the default settings on   the choices #1 and #3, that allow you to send special offers from your own site   and also from related companies. Section 5.  There are special laws   protecting the privacy of children, including the federal Childrens’ Online   Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).  It is   safest not to sell to or collect information from children.  If your site is specifically directed at   children, then you should seek specific legal advice on how to comply with these   laws. Section 6.  Privacy guidelines require   that visitors be able to access their information. |  |
