3.  Privacy—Collection and Use of Personally Identifiable Information

Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) is any information that concerns you individually and could permit someone to contact you, for example, your name, address, telephone/fax number, email address or any information you submit to us that identifies you individually.

The Website will not collect any PII about you unless you provide it or unless you continue using the Website. Therefore, if you do not want us to obtain any PII about you, please do not submit it to us, and do not use the Website.

Alternatively, you may choose to disclose PII about yourself, which may be maintained as described below. The Website may collect PII about you by methods such as the following:

  • Registration Forms – If you are offered the opportunity to enter a promotion, to become a registered user of the Website, or to opt-in to receive Puffer-Sweiven information through another site, you must apply by completing and submitting the registration form on the Website. This form requires certain PII that may include, without limitation, your name, email address, postal address, telephone number, areas of interest, product usage, and/or a unique individual password.
  • Transactions and Activity – If you become a registered user or if you conduct transactions through the Website, we will collect information about the transactions in which you engage while on the Website and your other activity on the Website. This information may include, without limitation, areas of the Website that you visit, transaction type, content that you view, download or submit, transaction amount, payment, and billing information as well as the nature, quantity and price of the goods or services you exchange and the individuals or entities with whom you communicate or transact business.
  • Email and other voluntary communications – You may also choose to communicate with us through email, via the Website, by telephone, in writing, or through other means. We collect the information in these communications, and such information may be PII.

We use the PII collected through the Website primarily for such purposes as: helping to establish and verify the identity of users; opening, maintaining, administering and servicing users’ accounts or memberships; processing, servicing or enforcing transactions and sending related communications; providing services and support to users; improving the Website, including tailoring it to users’ preferences; providing users with product or service updates, promotional notices and offers, and other information about Puffer-Sweiven and its affiliates; responding to your questions inquiries, comments and instructions; and maintaining the security and integrity of our systems.

4. Privacy—Collection and Use of Other Information

When you visit the Website, like when you visit most other websites, certain anonymous information about your visit is automatically logged, which may include information about the type of browser you use, the server name and IP address through which you access the internet (such as “aol.com” or “earthlink.net”), the date and time you access the Website, the pages you access while at the Website, and the internet address of the website, if any, from which you linked directly to the Website. This information may or may not be considered PII.

We use the anonymous browsing information collected automatically by our servers primarily to help us administer and improve the Website. We may also use aggregated anonymous information to provide information about the Website to potential business partners and other unaffiliated entities.

5.  Disclosure of Information

We do not provide PII to third parties who are not our affiliates for their use in marketing directly to you. We may use unaffiliated third parties to help maintain and operate our Website or for other reasons related to the operation of our business, and those third parties may receive your PII for those specific purpose. We may also disclose PII about you in connection with legal requirements, such as in response to an authorized subpoena, governmental request or investigation, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

This Website is directed toward and designed for use by persons aged 18 or older. We will not approve applications of, or establish or maintain registrations for any child whom we know to be under the age of 18. We do not solicit or knowingly collect PII from children under the age of 18. If we nevertheless discover that we have received PII from an individual who indicates that he or she is, or whom we otherwise have reason to believe is, under the age of 18, we will delete such information from our systems. Additionally, a child’s parent or legal guardian may request that the child’s information be corrected or deleted from our files by requesting this via our Contact Us page (www.puffer.com/contact-us/) or by using the contact information provided below in Section 15.
