Poppywood is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy applies to the Poppywood Web site and governs data collection and usage. By using the Poppywood website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Collection of your Personal Information

Poppywood collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. Poppywood also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by Poppywood. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by Poppywood for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Poppywood Web site.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Poppywood public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Poppywood does not read any of your private online communications.

Poppywood encourages you to review the privacy statements of Web sites you choose to link to from Poppywood so that you can understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information. Poppywood is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on Web sites outside of the Poppywood and Poppywood family of Web sites.

Use of your Personal Information

Poppywood collects and uses your personal information to operate the Poppywood Web site and deliver the services you have requested. Poppywood also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from Poppywood and its affiliates. Poppywood may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

Poppywood does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Poppywood may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Poppywood may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Poppywood, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

Poppywood does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.

Poppywood keeps track of the Web sites and pages our customers visit within Poppywood, in order to determine what Poppywood services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within Poppywood to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Poppywood Web sites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Poppywood or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Poppywood; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Poppywood, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The Poppywood Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Poppywood pages, or register with Poppywood site or services, a cookie helps Poppywood to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Poppywood Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Poppywood features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Poppywood services or Web sites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

Poppywood secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Poppywood secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

Poppywood will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. Poppywood encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Poppywood is protecting your information.
