PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal information is information about a specific person, including the person's name, address, telephone number, email address, credit card number, birth date, information about the person's activities and purchases, and, if applicable, customer number.
THE INFORMATION WE GATHER
When you become an Equuspring.com customer, and whenever you purchase products from Equuspring.com, become a registered shopper, or request a catalog, we collect and store the personal information that you volunteer in our customer database. Personal information is generally used to process your transactions and respond to your requests. You may also receive periodic printed or e-mail communications from us about new products and services, discounts, special promotions or upcoming events.
AGGREGATE DATA AND INFORMATION USAGE
In addition to personal information, we collect and store information about the products purchased by channel and the pages viewed by all of our website visitors. We then use this data in aggregate form to identify overall customer behavior patterns. Our goal in using this information is to improve your experience at Equuspring.com by being more responsive to the needs and preferences of our customers.
Our Web servers automatically collect information about each visitor who requests Equuspring.com Web pages, including your computer's internet protocol (IP) address. This IP address allows us to identify your computer on the internet so that the Web content you request from us can be sent to you.
From time to time, we may provide portions of this aggregate site behavior information to vendors, consultants, potential advertisers or news agencies. We typically do this in order to demonstrate the amount of interest in Equuspring.com and to plan for product and service improvements.
CLICK-STREAM DATA (AND COOKIE TECHNOLOGY)
We use this information to process your order and to make sure that it is delivered to you. Aggregated order information is also used to track and analyze overall shopping trends, which allows Equuspring.com to improve product offerings and services to its customers. In order to register on—or purchase products from—the Equuspring.com website, your browser must be set to accept "cookies." A cookie is a small piece of data housed in a text file or folder on your computer's hard drive that helps us recognize you when you visit our sites. We use cookies to help us remember things such as the following: (1) the profile facts you tell us about yourself, (2) your specified areas of interest on our sites, (3) the items you've placed in your shopping basket, and/or (4) the pages you visit as you shop.
The only personal information our cookie can contain is information that you supply yourself. Our cookies cannot read data from other parts of your computer. Click-stream data is information that describes the page-by-page paths you take as you browse through the website. We may use click-stream data in the aggregate to provide improved services to groups of shoppers who behave similarly. We may also use this data on an individual basis to improve your specific shopping experience. For example, if during a visit to Equuspring.com you read an online article about how to choose the right pasture waterer, we may during a subsequent visit present you with an article on a stall waterer or point you to a new product related to tent repair.
