This site is hosted by Yahoo! Store. Yahoo! hosts the store pages, ordering
system, and order data. Yahoo! automatically collects order information but
may only use this information in the aggregate. If you accessed this store
through Yahoo! Shopping, Yahoo! also automatically collects information
about your shopping experience. Please see the
Yahoo! Privacy Policy for more
information about how Yahoo! uses this information.
Our Web site is meant to be a service to you, and we respect your
privacy. National Gardening Association (NGA) collects personally identifying information
about our users from (1) requests for printed materials (2) online
newsletters, (3) online purchases, (4) donations, (5) survey
registrations, and (6) contest registrations. Generally, this
information includes name, e-mail address, postal address, and
answers to registration and surveys. The National Gardening
Association (NGA) uses this information for internal marketing
purposes only. It helps us determine how to continually improve our
site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information. NGA only
contacts individuals who specifically request that we do so or in the
event that they have won a contest. Recipients of our online
newsletters may unsubscribe at any time by following directions at
the bottom of the newsletter. Discussion forum contributors have
the option of remaining anonymous.
Security
NGA's online store uses the Yahoo platform, which uses
industry-standard SSL-encryption to protect data transmissions.
When you enter your credit card number into the order form on our
Web site, it is transmitted across the Internet in a scrambled form.
Your credit card number is decoded only after it gets to us.
While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online,
we also do everything in our power to protect sensitive
user-information offline. Only employees who need the information
to perform a specific job (for example, our customer service
representatives) are granted access to personally identifiable
information.
We request contact information (such as name and shipping
address) and financial information (such as credit card number,
expiration date) from the user on our order form. This information is
used for billing purposes and to fill customers' orders. If we have
trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get
in touch with the customer.
Naturally, any online offering may be purchased offline by using our
phone, fax, or check options.
Cookies
Cookies help track a person's "session" while online. They are used
on our site to gather basic tracking information. Cookies are not
related to any personally identifiable information and are not used to
retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent
in a cookie.
Many browsers are set to accept cookies. You may prefer to set
your browser to refuse cookies. It is possible, however, that some
areas of the site will not function properly if you do so. This is
especially likely when trying to order a product.
Links
This Web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that the
National Gardening Association is not responsible for the privacy
practices of other sites.
Surveys and Contests
From time to time our site requests information from users via
surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is
completely voluntary. Contact information will be used to notify the
winners and award prizes. Survey information is used for specific
program purposes or for improving the usefulness of this site.
