Privacy Policy

  Ruff Rider Products knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By visiting ruffrider.com, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

What Personal Information About Customers Does ruffrider.com Gather?

The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your shopping experience at ruffrider.com. Here are the types of information we gather.

    ·Information You Give Us: We receive any information you enter on our Web site, and while we keep contact information for our records, we do not store any Credit Card details. We ask that you only provide enough information for us to deliver your purchase in a timely and efficient manner.
    ·Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses ruffrider.com. This information is limited to the type of browser and operating system you are using, so that we may ensure customers are treated equally no matter what type of hardware and software they are equipped with. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit Web sites anonymously.


What About Cookies?

    ·Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser capabilities.

    ·The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you the most flexibility during the checkout process, aiding in things such as transferring the items in your shopping cart to a secure connection where they can be processed safely. Consequently, we recommend that you leave Cookies turned on.


Does ruffrider.com Share the Information It Receives?

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We do not share customer information.


How Secure Is Information About Me?

    ·We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.     ·We reveal only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.     ·It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your credit information and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.


Which Information Can I Access?

ruffrider.com only stores information that will be used to ship products to you in that instance. As such, each new instance of a purchase you have the opportunity to enter new information. Consequently, we do not ask that keep a username or password account with us.


What Choices Do I Have?

    ·As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase.

    ·The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.

    ·In addition, the Federal Trade Commission provides useful information about online privacy on its own Web site, Site Seeing on the Internet.


Children

ruffrider.com does not sell products for purchase by children. We sell children's products for purchase by adults. If you are under 18, you may use ruffrider.com only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.


Conditions of Use, Notices, and Revisions

If you choose to visit ruffrider.com, your visit and any dispute over privacy is subject to this Notice and our Conditions of Use, including limitations on damages, arbitration of disputes, and application of the law of the state of Washington. If you have any concern about privacy at ruffrider.com, please contact us with a thorough description, and we will try to resolve it.

Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Notice and the Conditions of Use will change also. We may e-mail periodic reminders of our notices and conditions, unless you have instructed us not to, but you should check our Web site frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers.


Information You Give Us

You provide most such information when you search, buy, bid, post, participate in a contest or questionnaire, or communicate with customer service. For example, you provide information when you search for a product or place an order through ruffrider.com. As a result of those actions, you might supply us with such information as your name, address, and phone number; credit card information; people to whom purchases have been shipped, including addresses and phone numbers.

Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the Internet; e-mail address; computer and connection information such as browser type and version, operating system, and platform.

Examples of information we receive from other sources include updated delivery and address information from our carriers or other third parties, which we use to correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily; account information, purchase or redemption information, and page-view information from some merchants with which we operate co-branded businesses or for which we provide technical, fulfillment, advertising, or other services.
