Privacy Policy
CONSUMER PRIVACY
I. INFORMATION WE COLLECT:
INDIVIDUAL INTERNET CONSUMERS
A. Personally
Identifiable Information (PII).
Under no circumstances does
Best Leaf Blowers & Vacuums request or collect sensitive PII such
as an Internet user's medical/health conditions; racial or ethnic
origin; political, religious or philosophical beliefs or
affiliations; trade union membership or sex life.
B.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Non-PII).
When a
consumer responds to or views an Internet advertisement served by
Best Leaf Blowers & Vacuums (such as through third-party Web
sites or email solicitation) or visits an advertiser's web site, we
send a cookie and/or gif file ("Cookies") to assign an
anonymous, unique identifier to the end user's Internet browser.
Cookies are small data files commonly used on the Internet to help
optimize and personalize the Internet end user experience and
identify repeat visitors to Web sites.
Best Leaf Blowers &
Vacuums uses Cookies to obtain information about the preferences of
consumers and the services they select; and also to optimize and
personalize the Internet user's experience. If the Internet user
re-visits the advertiser's site directly, Best Leaf Blowers &
Vacuums is able to continue to track the user's activities.
Like
most standard Web site servers, we use log files to collect Internet
protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider
(ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, and date/time stamp. We
use the information to analyze site usage, administer the site,
understand usage and navigation trends in aggregate, and determine
the relevance of content. This information, however, is not linked to
any personally identifiable information.
We also may use
Internet browsing and online purchase data associated with an
anonymous identifier to develop a predictive statistical user profile
of the end user's needs and interests. Best Leaf Blowers &
Vacuums does not use Cookies or log files to collect end users'
names, physical addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, credit
card numbers, social security numbers, or any other information which
can be used to identify a specific person. We may match the IP
address and user profile with email address data obtained separately
in order to better target campaigns to meet user's interests, but
will not share this information with third parties.
Best Leaf
Blowers & Vacuums has relationships with other companies that we
allow to place ads and links on our Web pages. Please note that when
you click on one of these links, you are moving to another web site.
We encourage you to read the privacy statements of these linked sites
as their privacy policies may differ from ours.
Some of these other companies may use marketing technology that
allows advertisers to add non-personally-identifying demographic
information, such as age, gender, area code, or ZIP code, to the
non-identifiable profile data. Thus, there is no direct connection
between an end user's online choices and his or her personal
identity.
In some cases, Best Leaf Blowers & Vacuums
receives and records partial email addresses of Internet users, only
in circumstances where the user voluntarily provided its identity and
contact information through the Advertiser's site or third-party
marketer's site. This partial email address does not enable Best Leaf
Blowers & Vacuums to personally identify an Internet User nor is
it shared, sold, rented, or given away.
II. INFORMATION
SHARING
Best Leaf Blowers & Vacuums may release
account and any other personal information when we believe release is
appropriate to respond to a subpoena or otherwise comply with the
law; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Best Leaf Blowers
& Vacuums or others. This may include exchanging information with
other companies and organizations for fraud protection.
III.
CONSUMER CHOICE AND ACCESS
A. Opting Out.

remove Best Leaf Blowers & Vacuums's Cookie from your system; it
simply replaces it with an opt-out Cookie that does not contain any
unique identifiers. If Best Leaf Blowers & Vacuums provides such
a process it is detailed below.
Some of Best Leaf Blowers &
Vacuums's Cookies do not have an "opt-out" option, yet you

Vacuums does not maintain a process for an individual consumer to

consumer to access his/her PII.

7701). It is our policy to prohibit the sending of unsolicited or
"Spam" e-mail by Best Leaf Blowers & Vacuums or any of
our marketing partners.
Please note that under the CAN-SPAM
Act, an advertiser is required to provide an opt-out mechanism for
consumers to unsubscribe from future emails about the advertiser.
Although not required to by law, many email marketers also include an
opt-out mechanism to enable consumers to be removed from their
mailing list. This has caused some confusion for consumers in opting
out. The table below clarifies which opt-out mechanism you should use
for commercial emails.
