Last modified: February 11th, 2022
This policy outlines how Woodstream Corporation and subsidiaries (“Woodstream”) collects your personal information when you visit and use our online services through our websites and mobile applications and why we do so as well as steps you can take to manage that information. Except as expressly set forth in this privacy policy, we will never sell or exchange your information under any circumstance.
By interacting with Woodstream online services and/or mobile applications you consent to the collection, use and sharing of your personal information as outlined in this privacy policy and such other policies that may be applicable from time to time with respect to the mobile applications. We reserve the right to alter this policy but will notify you should changes occur through a notice on our website. You are responsible for periodically visiting our website and this privacy policy to check for any changes.
What information do we collect about our consumers?
Direct from consumer
We may collect any personal information provide to us such as email address, name, mailing address, telephone number, credit card information, username and password and social media information when you shop at our websites, place an order online, subscribe to our emails, contact us, take surveys, participate in a promotion, create an account on our mobile applications or interact with our brands on social media. Additionally, some products may require data collection to connect to the internet.
User supplied information, such as product reviews, product questions and image/video uploads may be used on other website properties owned by Woodstream Corporation and/or its affiliates at our discretion. In addition, any “Add This” button, which you may use to share articles and information, utilizes a third-party site to process your request. You are responsible for any information you supply to these third-party sites, and you should understand their privacy policies as well as those of "Add This".
Auto-collected data (cookies, beacons, etc)
We may also collect information through the use of cookies and other technologies which gather information any time you access our sites via a computer, mobile phone, or any other device. These cookies are stored on your device by your internet browser. When you log in, this type of cookie tells us whether you've visited us before or are a new visitor. The cookie also gives us your service provider IP address, dates/times of your web sessions with us and referring URLs. This technology allows us to save any items that you have placed in your shopping cart each time you visit and retains login information and preferences while browsing our sites. The cookie doesn't obtain any personal information about you or provide us with any way to contact you, and the cookie doesn't extract any information from your computer. We do use the cookie to help us identify site features in which you have the greatest interest, so that we can provide more of what you may want. We may also use web beacons to collect customer data. A web beacon is a transparent image or a pixel tag that is used to monitor the behavior of the user visiting the Web site or sending email. It is often used in combination with cookies to assist in providing you with targeted content based on your interaction with the website.
When you downloaded, access and use one our mobile applications, we collect usage details (session logs, location data), device information (a device’s unique identifier, IP address, operating system, browser type, mobile network information, phone number), store information and files (this may include metadata on photographs, audio and video clips, personal contacts, and address book information)
How is personal information used?
Personal information is used by Woodstream to perform business operations while acting within the requirements set forth by law. These operations include, but are not limited to, providing consumer care services (questions, complaints, repairs, returns, invitations to provide feedback), ensuring sales transactions are securely completed, data analysis on sales/demographic trends, distributing promotional e-mails to subscribers, and providing consumers with relevant content (based on interests, location, and on-site behavior). Personal information may also be required to offer mobile application-based services. Those interactions are also governed by the privacy policies of the mobile applications you’re using. The consumer will be notified at the time of data collection for any instance not noted above. Our services may include interaction with external social media sites. Those interactions are governed by the privacy policies of the social media websites you’re using. We may use your personal information to find audiences of similar users of a social media platform for advertising purposes. We may also serve you advertisements through social media platforms.
Do we share any information we collect?
We respect your privacy! Information collected through our sites will be exclusively used by us (Woodstream Corporation and subsidiaries) for the sole purpose of product and/or service evaluation and improvement. Any consumer demographic information collected is considered confidential and will not be sold to, or exchanged with, any third parties except as expressly described in this policy. We also believe that your email address is private information, and you have our assurance that we do not rent or sell your email address to anyone.
Personal information may be shared with select business partners with whom we have a legal agreement with, in order to complete certain actions. This includes sharing e-mail information with our e-mail service provider and web browsing data with our eCommerce platform. We may also employ third-party vendors to provide services for us (such as data analysis or marketing strategy) which require them to view your personal information such as order history, name, and address, browsing activity and e-mail address.
We utilize online advertising through the Google AdWords network which collects personal information such as IP address and browser activity when you visit our websites in order to provide advertisements that are tailored to the interests of the consumer.
We may also use your personal information to ask you survey questions both on our website and on third-party sites. You will be alerted to the intent of data collection at the time of contact.
Our sites may contain links to external websites that are not managed by Woodstream Corporation and are not governed by our privacy policy. We advise that you read the privacy policy of any website you may visit.
When you use one of our mobile applications or its content, certain third parties may use automatic information collection technologies to collect information about your or your device. These third parties may include advertisers/ad networks, analytics companies, your mobile device manufacturer, and your mobile service provider. Again, we advise that you read the privacy policy of any of our mobile applications you may use.
Your personal information may be transferred as a business asset in the event of a transaction such as a merger or acquisition between Woodstream and one or more companies. Such a transfer could also be commensurate with a change-in-control transaction between Woodstream Corporation’s ultimate parent, Catch TopCo, Inc., and the buyer, or the sale/transfer of a particular business unit. We may also disclose your personal information to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request.
How does Woodstream keep your personal information secure?
We fully understand the importance of online privacy and electronic security. As we build our relationship with you, we want you to know that your trust is a valuable asset to us. We have taken several steps to ensure your online interaction with us occurs within a secure and private environment.
All payments made through our sites are processed by Braintree, a Level 1 PCI DSS payment gateway. Credit card data is routed through Braintree’s secure backend with modern encryption features. Your payment credentials are not processed or stored on our servers.
All orders are encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology, the industry standard for protecting internet activity. TLS is an extremely complex form of cryptography that makes it very difficult for a third party to decrypt any personal information you provide. Credit, debit and/or checking account information is never stored by us after payment is received. While we have implemented these measures, and others, designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure, unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.
Account holders and mobile app users are provided a login password to access order history, the ability to save payment options as well as accessing certain parts of our app. We ask that you do not share your password with anyone to ensure your account’s security.
We perform quarterly security scans using the Security Metrics platform to ensure compliance with PCI and other data privacy/security standards. These scans allow us to evaluate our systems and identify how we can continue to follow industry best practices to keep you and your data safe.
What about minors?
No personal information is knowingly collected by us from any minors. Our sites are intended for use by adults over the age of 18. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 18 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 18, please contact us at Woodstream Corporation, 29 East King Street, Lancaster, PA 17602 or via our toll-free number: 1.800.800.1819.
