Privacy Policy
Pacific Yurts recognizes that when you choose to provide us with information about yourself, you trust us to act in a responsible manner. We believe your information should only be used to help provide you with better service and to provide an improved user experience. We are committed to protecting the privacy of the users of this web site and have therefore provided this Privacy Policy for site users of www.yurts.com.
Our Information Privacy
We collect information from you via our Yurt Builder 3D page, Contact Us page, and the newsletter sign up. Your contact information helps us identify you and assist you with your question and/or the application process. We may also use this information to send you informational or promotional content. You will have the option to opt-out of this communication at any time in each email you receive. We don’t sell, trade or otherwise transfer personal information about visitors to outside parties. This does not include trusted third parties working under confidentiality agreements that assist us in operating our website, conducting our business or servicing you.
By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
We collect two types of Personal Information on this web site: Identifiable Information and Non-Identifiable Information.
Identifiable Information: Personal Information You Provide
Identifiable personal information is collected from you in two ways on our website:
- When users disclose their data to us on our “Contact Us” forms, they are consenting to our using their information for communicating with them for their requested purpose. We will collect your name, email address, and phone number to help us assist you with your questions.
- When you volunteer to provide an email address to receive our e-newsletter. Pacific Yurts only uses email management systems that meet our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy standards.
Non-Identifiable Information: Personal Information We Collect
Like most web site operators, we collect non-identifiable personal information, which browsers send about a user. We do so in order to help us understand and maintain the general workings of the web site. This includes:
- your computer’s internet protocol (IP) addresses
- browser type
- your internet service provider (ISP)
- pages of the site you visit
- date and time of your visit
- links you click on
- how long you are on a page
We use this data to analyze website content popularity, administer the site, track user movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. This information is not linked to personally identifiable information. This data is used to improve user experience on our website and to understand user behavior. We use a third-party tool, Google Analytics, to review this data.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are files with small amounts of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a web site and stored on your computer’s hard drive.
We use cookies for various reasons. Cookies enable us to provide you with a better experience by helping us understand what areas of the website are of interest to you. These cookies do not track individual information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. If you choose to disable cookies in your browser, you can still access most of the web site.
Data Storage in the U.S.
The information collected on this website will be stored and processed on databases in the United States. Personal information you provide is stored for 26 months or until the user unsubscribes.
Protecting your Privacy
Pacific Yurts takes appropriate steps to protect your privacy. We will take reasonable security measures to protect your personal information in storage. When you submit personal information, using forms like the contact us form, that information is encrypted and is protected with the standard encryption software in the industry – Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
We also use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure once we receive it. For example, we store the personal information you provide on limited access computer systems, located in secured facilities.
We will not provide any of your personal information to other companies or individuals. Your email address is never used for any purpose other than to communicate with you and is only collected through the contact form on our web site or our newsletter sign-up option.
All hosting is performed in accordance with reasonable security regulations.
Our websites may provide links to third party sites. Since we do not control those websites, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party sites.
Data Collection from our EU Users
Pacific Yurts uses Personal Information as a “processor,” as that term is defined in the General Data Protection Rule, which became effective May 25th, 2018. All European Union users of the website will be notified of our data collection and be prompted to opt-in prior to visiting the site. Only if a user in the European Union opts into participation when they enter our web site will the website collect the user’s personal information.
How to Control Your Personal Data
You will be asked to opt-in to receiving email correspondence from us at the time of data collection. You may opt-out of that permission at any time by following the “unsubscribe” information at the bottom of the email or through direct correspondence with info@yurts.com. If you have additional questions or would like to update or delete your personal information, you may email info@yurts.com or call our office at (541) 942-9435.
Disclosures
Though we make every reasonable effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law, if we have a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order, or legal process served on our website.
Notification of Changes
We may revise this Privacy Statement from time-to-time, as we add new features or as laws change that may affect our services. If we make material changes to our Privacy Statement, we will post notice of this on our website. Any revised Privacy Statement will apply both to information we already have about you at the time of the change, and any personal information created or received after the change takes effect. We include a version number on this Privacy Statement consisting of the date (year, month, and day) it was last revised. We encourage you to periodically reread this Privacy Statement, to see if there have been any changes to our policies that may affect you.
