PONDEROSA MEDIA PRIVACY POLICY

OUR COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY

Thank you for using The Colorado Wedding Magazine website (“Site”).  This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) has been developed as an extension of our commitment to combine quality products and services with integrity in dealing with users and is designed to assist you in the understanding of how we collect, use, store, disclose and protect the Personal Information (as defined below) and non-personally-identifiable information you provide to us.  YOUR USE OF THE SITE AND CONTINUED USE OF THE SITE FOLLOWING ANY CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY SIGNIFIES YOUR CONSENT TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY BOTH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THE PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SITE OR PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION TO US.

WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

When you visit the Site, send us emails, or communicate with us in any way, you are providing us with personal-identifiable information (“Personal Information”) and non-personally-identifiable information in two ways: directly and indirectly. By giving us this information, you consent to your information being collected, used, stored, transferred, analyzed, and disclosed by us, as described in this Privacy Policy.

Directly

If you choose to interact with us through the Site, such as by voluntarily registering your email address on the Site, creating an account, or communicating with us in any way, we will collect the Personal Information you provide to us. This voluntarily-provided Personal Information could include, but is not limited to:

• Your name
• Your login passwords and usernames
• Your address
• Your email address
• Your telephone number
• Your credit card information
• Other information relevant to your request, submission, or customer surveys and/or offers, such as your gender, occupation, birth date, purchase history, and other demographic information

Indirectly

Like most websites, we also collect non-personally-identifiable information and Personal Information of the sort that web browser and servers typically make available, such as IP addresses, web browser type, your operating system, language preferences, the pages within the Site that you visit, referring sites, the date and time that you visit the Site, the time spent on each page within the Site, search terms you enter on the Site, and other statistics (“Aggregate Data”). We may collect, compile, store, publish, promote, report, or otherwise disclose or use any Aggregate Information, provided that such information does not personally identify you. In addition, we may use other third-party services such as Google Analytics to collect, monitor, and analyze this Aggregate Data. 

WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT?

We may use and disclose your Personal Information as follows:

To Promote our Services and Products

We may use your Personal Information to market and promote our services and products.  For example, if you purchase or use certain services or products and we think you may benefit from using an additional service or product, we may send you an email with an offer for that additional service or product.  If you provide your Personal Information when visiting our Site and do not sign up for any services or purchase any products, we may send you an email asking if you would like to sign up for a service or purchase a product.  You can stop receiving our promotional emails at any time by following the “unsubscribe” instructions included with each email we send.

Sharing Information with Advertisers or Other Third Parties

We may disclose anonymous information about user habits on the Site to advertisers. The parties who perform services for us (including but not limited to credit card processors, merchant banks, Internet Service Providers) may also have access to your Personal Information in performing such services. Should we buy or sell our company or assets of our company, another company may need to review our company’s assets, which might include your information.

To Provide You with Requested Information

If you have “opted in” to receive information or promotions, we will use your Personal Information to provide you with such information or promotions.  Again, you can stop receiving our information or promotions at any time by following the “unsubscribe” instructions included with each email we send.  We may use your Personal Information to communicate with you about your account and provide customer support.  We may also use your Personal Information to let you know about temporary or permanent changes to our services and changes to the Privacy Policy.

To Collect Money Owed to Us

We may use your Personal Information to send you updates if your credit card has expired or if we need a different credit card to process a payment.  We may use your Personal Information to send you emails, invoices, receipts, and notices of delinquency.  We use a third-party vendor to process credit card payments and take orders, and may share your Personal Information for those purposes.

For Legal Compliance

We may use your Personal Information to meet legal requirements, such as complying with court orders, valid discovery requests, valid subpoenas, and other appropriate legal mechanisms.  We may share your Personal Information with representatives and advisors, such as attorneys and accountants, to help us comply with legal, accounting, or security requirements, or to prosecute or defend a court, arbitration, or similar legal proceeding.

Surveys and Promotions

You may voluntarily provide Personal Information to complete surveys and questionnaires or to participate in user polls. We use this information to improve our products and services and to ensure that we’re providing accurate disclosures. We may also use your Personal Information to provide you newsletters and other marketing information that coincide with your preferences. You may customize your marketing preferences or let us know if you do not wish to receive any promotional materials on our registration form.

Business Activities

We may use your Personal Information for administering business activities or providing customer support services. 

WHAT IS A COOKIE?

Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a site. Cookies are small pieces of data stored by a user’s browser to simplify subsequent interactions with the site. This makes it easier for a user to move from site to site and to complete transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized. The Site utilizes cookies to collect information about how the Site is used. Information gathered may include the date and time of Site visits, the Site pages viewed, time spent at the Site, and the sites visited just before and just after visiting our Site. If you do not wish to transmit cookie information about yourself, you may turn off the cookie function in your web browser. The Site’s servers also automatically identify your computer by its Internet Protocol address, which is a unique string of numbers that are assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. The IP address may be used to address problems with our server or to gather broad demographic information about our users. 

SECURITY

The security of your Personal Information is important to us.  However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.  In an attempt to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure of your Personal Information, we have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect. Individual postings on the Site and other communications to our office via email or standard mail may not be secure unless we advise you that security measures are in place prior to your submission of information. Therefore, if you choose to communicate with us through these means, you are assuming the risk of doing so and we respectfully request that you do not send or post sensitive information through these means.

It is your responsibility to safeguard the password you use to access the Site and to promptly advise us if you ever suspect that your password has been compromised.
