Information Collection and Use
OutdoorSuperStore.com, , is the sole owner of the information
collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information
to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement. OutdoorSuperStore.com, collects information from our users at
several different points on our website.
Order
We request information from the user on our order form. Here a user must
provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial
information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is
used for billing purposes and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble
processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with
the user. We keep your registration information available when you return
for your convenience.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive containing
information about the user. Outdoor Interactive does use cookies to track
visits to OutdoorSuperstore.com. These cookies are automatically generated
by our web servers and log the Internet Protocol ("IP") address of the
visiting computer. Outdoor Interactive does not generally use this
information to personally identify any of it’s customers. However, if a user
provides expressly written consent for OutdoorSuperstore.com to "remember"
the unique identifier that was selected when registration took place for
various activities on the site, that unique identifier will be stored on a
cookie on the user’s computer. This cookie will then link the user’s
registration information, and the user’s navigation path around the site
will be tracked. We use this data to develop a better working knowledge of
our customers/users, target customer/user interest, and enhance the
experience on our site based on generated statistical data, which will
disclose what actions are being taken place on site.
Otherwise, once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates.
For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to
log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If
a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to
this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site. For
instance, the user would have to log in repeatedly to navigate the site
without cookies. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the
interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site.
Some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for example,
advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
Log Files
When a user visits outdoorsuperstore.com, Outdoor Interactive or some of our
business partners may gather certain technical and routing information about
the user’s computer (like IP address) to assist the user with navigation of
our site and its provided services. These local environmental variables will
be used to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement,
measure various internet traffic patterns, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. Without expressly informing a user in each
particular circumstance, Outdoor Superstore does not match such information
with any of personal user information.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our partners and
advertisers. This is not linked to any personal information that can
identify any individual person.
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card
processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do
not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any
secondary purposes.
We occasionally partner with another party to provide specific services.
When the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other
contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these
services.
These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information
except for the purpose of providing these services.
When using the forums on our website if a user posts personal information in
the message body the user will be posting their personal information to the
public. We strongly urge users to be careful if/when posting personal
information to the forums.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we
OutdoorSuperStore.com, are not responsible for the privacy practices of
such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our
site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that
collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies
solely to information collected by this Web site.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact
information such as name and email address.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or
contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary
and the user therefore 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). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award
prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or
improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Occasionally we use a
third party for surveys. Their collection of personal information on their
site is governed by their privacy policy.
Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about
our site, we ask them for the friend's name and email address
OutdoorSuperStore.com, will automatically send the friend a one-time
email inviting them to visit the site. OutdoorSuperStore.com, stores
this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When
users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is
protected both online and off-line.
When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information
(such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information
is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the
industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock
icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft
Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you
are just 'surfing'.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also
do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our
users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is
restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to
perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service
representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information.
Our employees must use password-protected screen-savers when they leave
their desk. When they return, they must re-enter their password to re-gain
access to your information. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date
on our security and privacy practices. Every quarter, as well as any time
new policies are added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the
importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our
customers' information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store
personally identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment.
If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an
email to: James@outdoorsuperstore.com
Safe Shopping Guarantee and Fair Credit Billing Act
We guarantee that every online transaction you make will be 100% safe. This
means you pay nothing if unauthorized charges are made to your card as a
result of shopping at our online store. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act,
your bank cannot hold you liable for more than $50.00 of fraudulent charges.
If your bank does hold you liable for any of this $50.00. We will cover the
entire liability for you, up to the full $50.00. We will only cover this
liability if the unauthorized use of your credit card resulted through no
fault of your own from purchases made while using the secure server. In the
event of unauthorized use of your credit card, you must notify your credit
card provider in accordance with its reporting rules and procedures.
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username.
Established members 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 these types of
communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.
Site and Service Updates
We also send the user site and service announcement updates. Members are not
able to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important
information about the service. We communicate with the user to provide
requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account via
email or phone.
Correction/Updating Personal Information:
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your zip
code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to
provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data
provided to us. This can usually be done at the member information page or
by emailing our Customer Support at help@outdoorinteractive.net.
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information
used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask
for the information. For example, our order form has an 'opt-out' mechanism
so users who buy a product from us, but don't want any marketing material,
can keep their email address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials
from us may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to
unsubscribe in the subject line in the email or email us at
James@outdoorsuperstore.com
Users of our site are always notified when their information is being
collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an
informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services that require
an outside party, or not.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our
Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how
we use it, and under circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point
we decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner materially
different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify
users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we
use their information in this different manner. We will use information in
accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was
collected.
