Our
On-line Privacy Policy
Basic Confidentiality and Privacy Policy
The Ferret Haven "By the Sea", hereafter "Ferret
Haven", considers personal information, such as your name,
postal and e-mail addresses or telephone number, to be private
and confidential. Accordingly, the personal information you provide
is stored in a secure location, is accessible only by designated
staff or authorized agents, and is used only to market our products
or better serve our customers. Ferret Haven will not disclose
any personal information to other organizations.
Information Collection
When you browse the Ferret Haven web site, you do so anonymously.
Personal information is not collected. Some areas of our web
sites, however, may request that you voluntarily supply us with
personal information, including your name, email address, etc.,
for purposes such as correspondence, site registration, making
a purchase, or participating in online surveys.
Ferret Haven may also retain electronic communications you send
to our representatives, webmaster or other associates. These
may be shared only within Ferret Haven as a means to continually
improve our service.
Ferret Haven web sites track information about the visits to
those sites. For example, statistics are compiled that show the
daily number of visitors to a site, the daily requests received
for particular files on a site, and what countries those requests
come from. These aggregated statistics are used to customize
our web site to better meet your needs and may also be provided
to others, but the statistics contain no personal information
and cannot be used to gather such information.
There is a technology called "cookies" which can
be used to provide you with tailored information from a web site.
A cookie is an element of data that a web site can send to your
browser, which may then be stored on your system. Certain Ferret
Haven sites may use cookies so that we can better serve site
users. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive
a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it.
Information Use
Ferret Haven may use the information users give us to, for example,
provide a service, measure consumer interest in our various services
or inform users about new programs. These offers may be based
on information provided in surveys, information that may indicate
purchasing preferences or email sent to a Ferret Haven site.
Any lists used to send you information are developed and managed
under strict conditions designed to safeguard the security and
privacy of visitor personal information. Ferret Haven will use
reasonable effort to address all requests to remove names from
any postal mail or email lists.
Disclosure
Because Ferret Haven considers the individual information we
maintain to be confidential, our policy is to disclose no personal
information gathered on-line to third parties unless release
is required by law or is pertinent to judicial or government
investigations or proceedings. Ferret Haven does not sell, rent
or transmit personal information to other organizations.
Other Web Sites
Ferret Haven web sites may contain links to other sites, and
we make every effort to link only to sites that share our high
standards and respect for privacy. However, we are not responsible
for the content or the privacy practices employed by other sites.
Children
Ferret Haven does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable
information (such as name, address and telephone number) from
children under 13 years old through its web site. Ferret Haven
will specifically instruct children under 13 not to submit such
information to this web site. We do not currently allow children
under 13 to register or participate in contests or promotions
on the site. However, if the parent or guardian of a child under
13 believes that the child has provided us with personally identifiable
information, the parent or guardian of that child should contact
us if they want this information deleted from our files.
If Ferret Haven obtains knowledge that it has personally identifiable
information about a child under 13 in retrievable form in its
files, we will delete that information from our existing files.
In addition, anyone under 18 years old should seek their parent’s
or guardian’s permission prior to using or disclosing any personal
information on this site.
Disclaimer
By using a Ferret Haven site, you signify your assent to the
Ferret Haven On-line Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this
policy, please do not use our sites. We reserve the right, at
our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of
this policy at any time. Please check this page periodically
for changes. Your continued use of our sites following the posting
of changes to these terms will mean you accept those changes.
