PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy describes how the websites TheWildGeese.com and TheNewWildGeese.com, which are owned and operated by GAR Media, LLC (“GARM”) collect, use and share personally identifiable information ("PII") we obtain from and about individuals located in the United States, both online and off-line. This Privacy Policy is effective as of May 14, 2012.
GARM does not knowingly collect PII from children under 18 years of age.
From time to time GARM may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect industry initiatives or changes in the law, our PII collection and use practices, the features of our web sites, or technology. If this Privacy Policy is updated, the GARM link to the Privacy Policy will contain the word “Updated” for at least 30 days after the update. Therefore, you should review it periodically so that you are up to date on our most current policies and practices.
COLLECTION: COLLECTION OF PII BY GARM
General. GARM collects personally identifiable information ("PII" -- that is, information such as your full name, email address, mailing address, telephone number or credit card information) only in order to create, maintain or enhance our relationship with you. When we collect PII from you it is because you are voluntarily submitting the information to us because you want us to furnish you with products, services or information.
Cookies. Cookies are small bits of information that GARM places on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies may make it easier for you to navigate the website and for the website to remember your preferences. GARM uses cookies and similar tools to collect or otherwise record any type of PII provided by or about any visitor to GARM. By using the website, you are consenting to GARM’s placement of cookies on your computer. If you do not consent to GARM’s placement of cookies, you must leave the website immediately.
NOTICE: GARM WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH NOTICE ABOUT ITS PII COLLECTION PRACTICES
When GARM collects PII from you, we will make sure you are informed about who is collecting the information, how and why the information is being collected and the types of uses GARM will make of the information.
This Policy describes the types of other companies that may want to send you information about their products and services and therefore may want to share your personal information (See "Use" below). However, GARM will notify you of your options regarding our use of your personally identifiable information, including whether we can share it with outside companies, typically at the time of collection. (See “Choice” below).
GARM's web site(s) may be linked to Internet sites operated by other companies. Although we choose our business partners and advertisers carefully, GARM is not responsible for the privacy practices of web sites operated by third parties that are linked to our site(s) or for the privacy practices of third party or so-called national Internet advertising companies. Once you've left a GARM site via such a link, you should check the applicable privacy policy of the third party or advertiser site to determine how they will handle any PII they collect from you.
GARM's web site(s) may also be linked to sites operated by our business partners or by other companies that are affiliated with us. Visitors to those affiliated sites should still refer to their separate privacy policies and practices, which may differ in some respects from this Policy.
CHOICE: GARM WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH CHOICES ABOUT THE USE OF YOUR PII
GARM will provide you with the opportunity to choose whether your PII may be used for purposes different from the purpose for which it was submitted or those purposes described in this Policy. You will also be able to choose whether your information is shared with companies that are not affiliated with GARM.
USE: GARM'S USE OF PII
GARM will use your PII in a manner that is consistent with this Policy and for the purpose for which it is submitted, unless other uses are disclosed and you allow us to use your information in other ways. GARM may use PII in aggregate, anonymous form for research purposes. In most instances, GARM will delete PII from its records as soon as possible.
GARM may share your PII with companies that are affiliated with us, including for marketing, advertising and sales campaigns.
GARM employees, agents and contractors must have a legitimate business reason to obtain access to your PII. Outside contractors or agents who help us manage our information activities (record keeping, data management, order fulfillment, statistical analyses) must comply with GARM's instructions with respect to PII, and may only use PII to provide GARM with a specific service and not for any other purpose.
If GARM obtains PII from a third party, such as a business partner, GARM’s subsequent use of this information is governed by this Policy.
There may be instances when GARM may disclose PII without providing you with a choice in order to protect the legal rights of GARM, its affiliates, parent company, employees, agents, contractors and their service providers; to protect the safety and security of visitors to our web sites; to protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or to comply with the law or legal process.
In addition, if GARM sells all or part of its business or makes a sale or transfer of some or all of its assets or is otherwise involved in a merger or business transfer, GARM may transfer your PII to a third party as part of that transaction.
SECURITY: GARM PROTECTS THE SECURITY OF PII
GARM uses reasonable administrative, technical, personnel and physical measures to safeguard PII in its possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure or modification. In addition, GARM uses reasonable methods to make sure that PII is accurate, up-to-date and appropriately complete. However, GARM, its officers, directors, affiliates, employees, agents, contractors and their service providers do not represent, warrant, or guarantee that PII will be protected against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or alterations. GARM does not accept any liability for PII submitted, or for any third parties’ use or misuse of PII.
If you choose to provide PII, GARM will not use the information for any purpose other than to respond to your inquiry and as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy.
ACCESS, REMEDIES AND COMPLIANCE: HOW TO ACCESS, CORRECT OR DELETE YOUR PII AND HOW TO CONTACT GARM ABOUT PRIVACY CONCERNS
Whenever possible, visitors to GARM may review the PII we maintain about them in our records. GARM will not be able to provide such access to PII that has been deleted from its records as soon as we are allowed to by law. However, prior to such deletion GARM will not use that PII except for the purpose for which it was submitted, and GARM will also take reasonable steps to correct any PII a visitor informs us is incorrect.
If you would like to communicate to us about this Privacy Policy or GARM's collection and use of your PII, to review, correct or delete your PII, or to stop all future communication from us, please contact GARM's Privacy Officer, at:
