At RanchForeman, Ltd., we place the highest importance on respecting and protecting the privacy of our customers. Our most important asset is our relationship with you. We want you to feel comfortable and confident when using our Web site. Therefore, we would like to share with you the following principles that govern our information practices and other privacy aspects of our Web site. Throughout this policy, we refer to information that personally identifies you as "personal information".
We protect your information
We work to protect your personal information from loss, misuse or unauthorized alteration by using industry-recognized security safeguards. We use both internal and external resources to review our security procedures. Our employees are trained and required to safeguard your information.
We protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information by using industry-recognized security safeguards such as firewalls, coupled with carefully developed security procedures to protect your information from loss, misuse or unauthorized alteration. Whenever we ask for sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, we encrypt it as it is transmitted to us.
Our employees are trained and required to safeguard your information and, using physical, electronic and procedural safeguards, we restrict access to personal information to those employees and agents for business purposes only. Additionally, we use internal and external resources to review the adequacy of our security procedures.
We tell you how we use your information
When we ask you for information, we will tell you, --or it will be clear--
what we need to know to fulfill your request. We will also tell
you how we will use the information we're asking for. Because
of the nature of our business, our Web sites are not designed
to appeal to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly
request or receive any information from children.
- We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.
- We do not share your personal information with
anyone outside of RanchForeman, Ltd. for their promotional
(including marketing) use.
We tell you about our relationships with third parties
We have limited relationships with third parties to assist
us in servicing you, for example, by hosting applications.
These service providers are contractually required to maintain
the confidentiality of the information we provide them. The
contracts outline the appropriate use and handling of your
information and prohibit third parties from using any of your
personal information for purposes unrelated to the product
or service for which they have been contracted. Vendors are
required to maintain the confidentiality of the information
we provide to them. We may disclose or report personal information
in limited circumstances where we believe in good faith that
disclosure is required under the law. For example, we may
be required to disclose personal information to cooperate
with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to comply
with a legal process such as a court order, subpoena, search
warrant, or a law enforcement request.
We have members and sponsors that provide services. These
services and sites are clearly identified and their respective
Web sites may provide links to third-party sites, such as
those of our business partners and online advertisers. Because
RanchForeman, Ltd. does not control the information policies
or practices of these third parties, you should review their
privacy policies to learn more about how they collect and
use personal information.
Should we sell, merge or transfer any part of our business,
part of the sale may include your personal information. If
so, you will have the opportunity to ask not to receive promotional
information following any change of control.
We may use sources outside of RanchForeman, Ltd. to supplement
the information you give us. For example, we may validate
your address using other sources. We use this data to help
us maintain accuracy and provide you with better service.
RanchForeman, Ltd. and its subsidiaries may exchange information
about your transactions to fulfill your requests. We may also
provide you information about products or services we believe
you may be interested in unless you have asked us not to contact
you. We offer you the opportunity to review privacy practices
at our subsidiaries' Web sites.
