Privacy Policy

As an e-commerce retailer, we understand the potential dangers in providing personal information over the Internet. With that in mind, we will make you well aware of any data that we collect from you through our web site.

Consent

By accessing this site, you are agreeing to the data collection outlined in this document. To keep you informed as this policy changes, this page will be updated as our policies change so that you are always able to review our policy and be aware of any information we collect, how we use it, and the purpose for collecting such data.

Information Collected By Backyard Windmills

Every computer that is connected to the Internet is provided with an IP (”Internet Protocol”) address and domain name. This information is logged in an access log for each HTTP request you make to our web server and it does not reveal any personal data about you; the information gathered includes:

  1. Your IP address and domain name
  2. IP address and domain of the site that referred you, if any
  3. Browser name and version number you used to access our site
  4. Operating system platform used to access our site
  5. Search terms used to find our site if you are referred from a search engine
  6. Date and time of your visit
  7. Pages/files accessed during your visit

The collection of such data has become a de facto standard by virtually every web server on the Internet today.

This data is collected for internal use only and will not be shared, sold, rented, or provided to any third-party. Using these access logs, we are able to pinpoint and correct website technical issues, should any arise. This includes browser compatibility issues, accessibility issues, and website errors. As well, using this statistical data allows us to track the amount of traffic to our site, search terms used to find our site, and visitor patterns to measure our online marketing efforts in driving traffic to our site.

E-mail Addresses

We have no automatic way of collecting your e-mail address, and will only be able to obtain your e-mail address if you specifically provide it to us.

Because of our strict “anti-spam” policy, we will never disclose your e-mail address to a third-party without your consent. In providing us with your e-mail address, you are agreeing to communicate with us via e-mail, and are authorizing us to send relevant e-mails to your account. If at any time you do not want to receive e-mails from us, simply contact us and request that we discontinue any e-mail communication to your account.

These cookies are meant to save user experience settings to enhance your visit to our site.

Most browsers will accept cookies by default, but they are easily turned off through your web browser settings. Typically you are able to disable all cookies, enable all cookies, or set your browser to notify you of every cookie that is trying to be placed on your computer.

In accessing this site with cookies enabled in your browser, you are authorizing us to place a small cookie on your computer.

Non-disclosure

Backyard Windmills will hold all data provided to us in the strictest confidence. We will not disclose your request, or contact information to any other third-party. We have a strict “anti-spam” policy that means we will not sell, rent, or otherwise provide your e-mail address to a third-party without your consent.
