We recognize that the personal information you choose to provide using this system is highly confidential, and we have made every reasonable effort to make sure your information is safeguarded. Your online transactions are supported by industry standard data encryption available through your web browser called SSL encryption. This service is designed to ensure your privacy when providing us with personal information over the Internet.

Shoptheranch.co Privacy Policy

 Taubert Farm & Ranch is committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of its customers and visitors to our web site. In particular, we want you to know that Taubert Farm & Ranch is not in the business or selling, renting or trading email lists with other companies for marketing purposes. In this Privacy Policy we provide detailed information on when and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, the limited conditions under which we may disclose it to others and how we keep it secure.

Collection and Use of Personal Information Personal information means any information that may be used to identify you, such as, your name, title, phone number, email address, or mailing address. In general, you can browse our web site without giving us any personal information. We use Google Analytics to analyze traffic to this web site in order to understand our customer's and visitor's needs and to continually improve our site for them. WebTrends Reporting Services collects only anonymous, aggregate statistics. For example, we do not tie a specific visit to a specific IP address. If you want to subscribe to one of our newsletters, we ask you to simply provide your business email address. In that case, we use your email address only in connection with providing you the newsletter and for no other purpose.

Additional activities on our site require you to be registered, for example, to read a white paper or make a purchase. As part of the registration process, we ask you to create a Taubert Farm & Ranch account where we collect additional personal information. We use that information for several general purposes: to tell you about products, to fulfill your orders, to contact you if we need to obtain or provide additional information; to verify the accuracy of our records, to contact you regarding customer satisfaction surveys.

Some activities require additional personal information within your Taubert Farm & Ranch account. For example, to fulfill online orders for products we require you to enter credit card information, and you have the option to provide a separate shipping address.

Disclosure of Personal Information Taubert Farm & Ranch sometimes hires vendor companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering items, sending postal mail, providing technical support, and processing registrations. We provide those companies only the information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose. Because Taubert Farm & Ranch is a US company, our goal is to abide by the strictest interpretations of the privacy laws governing personal information for each region in which we operate. While data protection laws vary widely among different regions, Taubert Farm & Ranch is governed by this Privacy Policy and will use your personal information only as set forth in this policy. Taubert Farm & Ranch may also disclose your personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary in connection with a sale, merger, transfer, exchange or other disposition (whether of assets, stock or otherwise) of all or a portion of a business of Taubert Farm & Ranch and/or its subsidiaries or to (1) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process served on Taubert Farm & Ranch or this web site; (2) protect and defend the rights or property of Taubert Farm & Ranch and this web site; (3) enforce its agreements with you, or (4) act in urgent circumstances to protect personal safety or the public.

Children and Privacy Our web site does not offer information intended to attract children. Shoptheranch.co does not knowingly solicit personal information from children under the age of 13.

Security of Personal Information When you submit any form requiring sensitive personal information, we use a secure server. The secure server software (SSL) helps protect your information as it travels over the Internet by encrypting that information before it is sent to us. We have also implemented industry-standard security mechanisms and procedures to protect data from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction.

Use of Cookies A cookie is a small text file containing information that a web site transfers to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Cookies allow us to analyze our site traffic patterns and to provide a user-friendly Taubert Farm & Ranch registration and log-in process. A cookie can not give us access to your computer or to information beyond what you provide to us. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies; consult your browser's manual or online help if you want information on restricting or disabling the browser's handling of cookies.

If are using a shared computer and you have cookies turned on, be sure to log off when you finish.

Email List Security and Privacy We use a third-party service provider, Constant Contact, to manage our opt-in email list. Electronic mail you receive from us may also have information from the third-party service provider, including how to subscribe and un-subscribe from the list. Please note that we use a "Safe-Unsubscribe" feature which prohibits us from adding your email address to our list once you have un-subscribed. If you have any questions about our email newsletter practices, please contact us.
