Privacy Policy
Your right to privacy while using the World Wide Web is very important to Wood Duck Press. Wood Duck Press is committed to helping you maintain control over your personal data while fostering the growth of a more interactive, engaging and personalized Web experience. We respect your right to control how much information you provide about yourself. The following Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how we collect, protect and use information we receive from visitors to our web site (www.woodduckpress.com) (the "Site"). This Policy applies only to information collected through this Site and not to information collected offline.
1. Security of Information Sent to Us
Please note that, unless we expressly advise you otherwise, the email functionality on our Site does not provide a means for completely secure and private communications between us. Like all unencrypted Internet email communications, your email may be accessed and viewed by other Internet users, without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to us. For that reason, to protect your privacy, please do not use email to communicate information to us that you consider to be confidential. While we strive to protect your personal information, Wood Duck Press cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our internal systems. Depending on the nature of the inquiry, your communication may be discarded or archived. If you wish, you may contact us instead via telephone at the numbers provided throughout our Site.
2. What Personally Identifiable Information of Is Collected
We do not collect personally identifiable information on our Site unless you voluntarily provide information about yourself via an electronic mail message or by filling out one of our online forms. By “personal information,” we mean data that is unique to an individual, such as a name, address or telephone number. For example, if you send us an email, we may use the information you provide to follow up via telephone or email. If you purchase a product or service from us through our online store we will collect financial information from you in order to complete that transaction. Such information may include but is not limited to your mailing address, phone number, email address and credit card account information. The information you provide will be kept confidential and will be used only to support your continued relationship with Wood Duck Press.
Except as provided herein, no software or hardware techniques are employed to capture a visitor’s email address or other personally identifiable information. Our hosting company may collect anonymous, aggregate information or statistics related to Site usage. These statistics indicate the total number of hits, the total number of page hits, the number of kilobytes transferred from our Site, and the IP address of the visitor. We may have the ability to access this information. If we decide to use this information to analyze Web traffic, we will only be able to measure the number of visitors to our web site and the addresses of the web sites from which our visitors come. Email addresses and other personally identifiable information are not available to us except such information as you have provided to us.
3. Cookies
We sometimes use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information from your computer when your Web browser accesses our website. Cookies are alphanumeric identifier text files that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide features such as storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.
4. Access and Correction
You have a right to know about the personal information that Wood Duck Press has collected through your requests as describe above, including the right to correct, amend or delete the information that Wood Duck Press has on file if it is incorrect. You may also change the status of whether you wish to receive Wood Duck Press alerts, newsletters and communications at anytime. If at any time you wish to exercise these rights, feel free to contact us by email using the contact form on the top menu of the site.
5. How the Information You Provide Is Used
Should you send us your comments or questions via email to any email address provided on our Site, we will only share your communications with our employees or agents most capable of addressing your questions and concerns. We will retain your communication until we have done our very best to provide you with a complete and satisfactory response and then we will either discard it or archive it. We will only disclose personal information if we are required to do so by law or we in good faith believe that such action is necessary to (1) comply with the law or with legal process; (2) protect and defend our rights and property; (3) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Site; or (4) protect the personal safety or property of our users or the public. We do not sell, rent or otherwise disclose personally identifiable information you may provide without your consent.
We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you provide to us for purchasing of our products or services. We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card number when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.
To help us make e-mails more productive to improve service and your shopping experience, we sometimes send you newsletters about our services and products, notifications of changes to our policies, and order confirmations. If you do not wish to receive e-mail from us, other than order notifications and receipts, please adjust your "Subscription" preferences by logging into your account.
6. Privacy Policies of Web Sites Not Under Our Control
For your convenience, this Site may provide links to various web sites that we do not control. When you click on one of these links, you will be transferred out of our Site and connected to the web site of the organization or company that you selected. We are not responsible for the nature, quality or accuracy of the content or opinions expressed in such web sites, and such web sites are not investigated, monitored or checked for quality, accuracy or completeness by us. Inclusion of any linked web site on the Wood Duck Press Site does not imply or express an approval or endorsement of the linked web site by us, or of any of the content, opinions, products or services provided on these web sites. Even if an affiliation exists between our Site and a third-party web site, we exercise no control over linked sites. Each of these linked sites maintains their own independent privacy and data collection policies and procedures. If you visit a web site that is linked to from our Site, we encourage you to consult that web site’s privacy policy before providing any personal information and whenever interacting with any web site.
7. Disclosure of Customer Information Through Business Transfers
As we continue to develop our business, we may buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses, and in so doing, acquire customer information. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. Similarly, in the unlikely event that a portion or substantially all of Wood Duck Press assets are sold or transferred to a third party, the information you have voluntarily provided to us, including, without limitation, your email address, would likely be one of the transferred business assets.
