Northwoods is committed to protecting your privacy. To make your shopping experience more convenient, we gather information from you. We maintain the privacy of your information using security technologies and adhere to policies that prevent unauthorized use of your personal information.
We collect information you explicitly provide us during your web site visit in order to provide you with offers and information. We may also use the information you provide to contact you via telephone, e-mail or other means regarding offers of products and services that may be of interest to you.
In addition, in order to fulfill your order, we need to know your name, email address, mailing address, and payment details. In order to activate or validate the software license for a particular computer or domain, we may also need to collect the target computer's or domain's name.
In addition to the information we collect directly from you, we also monitor and track usage of our web site, viewing and traffic patterns, and other similar information. We compile this information into a statistical aggregate. We use this aggregate information for internal business and administrative purposes including to improve our web site, our product and service offerings, our operations, and our customer service.
Northwoods does not provide information about you to any other companies to market their products and services unless you authorize us to do so. Even when you do so, these other companies are not allowed to use this information for purposes beyond your specific authorization.
Northwoods does not provide your payment information to any third party, except as is necessary to process your order.
In some situations, however, we are required to or we may provide all the information we gather about you to third parties without your consent, as permitted by law, such as:
In addition, we may provide all the information (except payment information) we gather about you to our service providers with whom we have an ongoing contractual relationship. These may include statement, billing, and companies that help us perform marketing services (including the marketing of Northwoods products and services and the products and services of non-Northwoods companies), as well as our accountants and attorneys.
We may provide aggregate information about site usage and traffic patterns, stripped of individual identification, to third parties to comply with various reporting obligations and for business or marketing purposes.
When you place orders, we offer the use of a secure server that encrypts all your personal information before it is sent to us to prevent unauthorized access to your information.
Northwoods may store the information collected during your visit in an electronic database or other storage system. Northwoods uses security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of any stored data.
Northwoods' Web sites may contain links to third-party sites that you may find useful. These third-party sites may have their own privacy policies. You should review the privacy policy of any Web site before you provide personal or confidential information.
While this Privacy Policy states our standards for maintenance of non-public information about you and we will make efforts to meet them, we are not in a position to guarantee these standards. There may be factors beyond our control that may result in disclosure of information. As a consequence, we disclaim any warranties or representations relating to maintenance or nondisclosure of data.
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post these changes
here so that you will always know what information we gather, how we
might use that information, and whether we will disclose it to anyone.
