Privacy Policy
At Plum Creek Timber, we care about your right to privacy, and we understand that visitors to our Web site need to be able to control the uses of their personal information. In order to protect the privacy of our users, Plum Creek Timber has adopted the following measures to protect your privacy in connection with your use of our Web site:
I. Personally Identifiable Information Collected
Accounts. When you set up an account on the Web site, we may ask for your first and last name; billing address; shipping address(es) email address and phone number. Once you are registered, you can update your profile.
Purchases. When you purchase an item on the Web site, we may collect the information described above as well as necessary financial information (i.e., your credit card number). We use your financial information only to process the sale and to provide you with information about your order and its status. We use third parties to accept and process credit card payments for purchases on our Web site.
IP Address. An IP address is a unique string of numbers assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider. Web site servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. We will use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Web site. Your IP address also may be used to gather broad demographic information.
Cookies . A cookie is a text file stored on your computer's hard drive when you visit certain Web sites. Web sites create cookies to record information about your preferences, such as the items you add to your shopping cart, and for security reasons. You may set your browser to reject all cookies and still view our Web site, but because our online ordering system requires cookies, you will not be able to order online. However, you can still place an order by phone, fax or mail.
Be aware that any advertisers and partners may also use their own cookies. We do not control the use of those cookies and expressly disclaim responsibility for information collected through them.
II. Use of Personal Information
Customized Experience. We gather your personally identifiable information to provide you with a customized experience on our Web site. Your personally identifiable information helps us tailor the content, goods and services to your current and future needs.
Email. If you register with or make a purchase on our Web site, we may occasionally send out emails, including newsletters offering more great deals. Our newsletters may contain code that enables our database to track your usage of the newsletters, including whether the email was opened and/or what links (if any) were clicked. We combine this information with other information we have about you and may use it to improve your experience with our Web site and/or provide customized email communications to you.
III. Sharing of Personal Information
Plum Creek Timber does not share with any third party any personal information that can readily identify any user (aside from entities that perform services for us, such as processing credit card payments, that are either bound to comply with our privacy policy or have privacy policies that protect your information) unless you have “opted in” to such sharing.
Plum Creek Timber fully cooperates with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities, and may in its sole discretion disclose Personal Information or other information to satisfy any law, regulation, subpoena, or government request. Plum Creek Timber reserves the right to release Personal Information or other information about users who we believe are engaged in illegal activities or are otherwise in violation of our Terms of Use, even without a subpoena, warrant or court order, if we believe in our sole discretion that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to operate the Web site, or to protect the rights or property of Plum Creek Timber, its affiliates, or any of their officers, directors, or employees, agents, third-party content providers, suppliers, sponsors, or licensors. Plum Creek Timber also reserves the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities we reasonably believe in our sole discretion to be unlawful.
We may share broad demographic information that does not identify you as an individual (unless we let you know that at the time of collection or we have your permission) with third parties, but we will provide those third parties with aggregate information only.
