Mapleridge Studio Privacy Policy
Information Collection and Use
Mapleridge Studio 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. Mapleridge Studio
collects information from our users at several different points on
our website.
Online Store Orders
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.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's hard
drive containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no
way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our
site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply terminates.
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. 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
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer
the site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to
personally identifiable information.
Sharing
We will not share information with anyone except
where necessary to contact a customer or where required for shipping
or billing purposes.
We may use an outside 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.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be
aware that Mapleridge Studio is 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.
PDF Catalogue
If a user wishes to receive our catalogue in PDF format, 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.
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 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.
