Policy Effective Date: March 10, 2024

This Privacy Policy of Harvest Hills Metal Design, doing business as https://www.harvesthillsmetaldesigns.com (referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”), describes the types of information we may collect when you visit our website, https://www.harvesthillsmetaldesigns.com. We understand how important it is to keep your personal information confidential. We value the information you provide us and want you to be confident that we are committed to protecting your privacy. Our commitment to protecting your privacy is outlined in the policies below.

 

This Privacy Policy addresses the nature, purpose, use, and sharing of any information collected via our website. The information you provide on our website will be used only as outlined in this Privacy Policy. Except as outlined here, the submission and collection of personally identifiable information (defined below) is strictly voluntary. By visiting our site, you acknowledge your agreement with this Privacy Policy. If you do not want to grant permission to use your information as outlined in this Privacy Policy, please do not provide it and elect not to visit our website. However, not providing certain information may result in our inability to provide you with the information or services you desire.

Information Collected

The two types of information we collect are personally identifiable information and website use information.

Website use information is anonymous information that cannot be used to identify you. We use this information to track navigation through our website, which pages are viewed most often, what other websites are visited and similar data. We also use the information to develop and deliver marketing strategy, to notify you of promotions and to offer products and services to you. Personally identifiable information is sensitive information that can be used to identify you. Personally identifiable information includes, among other information, your full name, email address, physical mailing address, and telephone number. Some of the features on our online site require that you provide us information about yourself such as when you elect to purchase a product from us, register as a member for an account or choose to fill out a form on our online website. You can review and update any personally identifiable information you have voluntarily elected to provide to us prior to submitting the information.

We will never request your password, user name, or other personally identifiable information through email. This practice, called “phishing,” is often a scam designed to steal your personal information. If you receive an email message that looks like it is from us asking for your personal information, please do not respond.

 

Use of Personally Identifiable Information You Choose to Provide

If you choose to provide us with personally identifiable information, we will use that information to enhance your experience in the following ways:

    Complete your request to sign up to receive information via email on our online website.

    Complete your request to register as a member of our online website.

    Customize your shopping experience.

Providing us with your personally identifiable information, it allows Harvest Hills Metal Design to:

    Notify you of advertisements and promotions related to Harvest Hills Metal Design using the Internet, email and mail sent via the U.S. Post Office.

    Communicate great values and featured items to you.

    Comply with valid legal procedures, requirements, regulations, and statutes.

    Share your personally identifiable information with third party vendors but only to the extent required to help us perform any of the aforementioned functions.

Children

Our website is for the general audience. We do not permit anyone who tells us they are under the age of 16 to register online with us. We also do not collect information from anyone that tells us they are under the age of 16. Children under the age of 16 should always ask their parents or guardians for permission before providing any contact information to anyone online. We urge parents and guardians to participate in their children’s online activities and use parental controls or other web filtering technology to supervise children’s access to the Internet.

Automatically Collected Information

We save information based on your interaction with our website. This allows us to process your inquiries more efficiently, notify you of promotions and to offer products and services to you and ultimately, provide you with enhanced customer service. This information includes, but is not limited to, your Internet Protocol address (the address automatically assigned to your computer every time you establish a connection to the Internet), the name of any referring websites, as well as your navigation and activity on our website. By tracking this type of information, we may be able to modify our content and product displays to enhance your experience while visiting our website.

This information is only used to help us make our website more useful to you and to notify you of promotions and to offer products and services to you. Except for authorized law enforcement investigations, no attempts are made to identify individual users or their usage habits. Raw data logs are retained temporarily as required for security and site management purposes only.

Information Collected for Tracking Purposes (Cookies)

Like many websites, we do not currently respond to “do not track signals” or other mechanisms that consumers may utilize on their web browsing device to limit the collection of certain information about a consumer’s activities over time and across various websites or online services. As with most websites, we use “cookies” to obtain information when your web browser accesses our website. “Cookies” are small amounts of data that are stored on your computer and find their way to your browser via a web server. They flag information about your activity on our website. This information helps us to improve our website and to make them friendlier and easier to use. We are then able to “recognize” you and personalize your experience with our website. You may “turn off” cookies by following steps outlined in the “Help” portion of the toolbar on most browsers; however, cookies allow you to take advantage of some of our website's features, so we recommend that you leave them turned on.

Sharing Information

We may share aggregated general information collected on our website with our third party service provider for our own market research purposes with the intention to best serve our customers. Aggregated data does not contain any personally identifiable information that could be used to contact or identify you. We only share personally identifiable information in one or more of the following limited circumstances:

    We have your consent.

    We may provide such information to respected third party service providers to the extent necessary for them to assist and support us as we attempt to better provide enhanced products and services to you and to complete your requests to receive information from us via email, use our online tools or register as a member of our online services. When this is done, it is subject to agreements or other specific direction given to the service provider that requires them to process such information only in accordance with our instructions, in compliance with this Privacy Policy, and with appropriate confidentiality and security measures in place. We have no control over, and bear no responsibility for the Privacy Policies and/or content of any websites or advertisers linked to or on any cookies these websites may deposit on your computer.

    We may provide such information to our affiliates who may use this information to notify you of promotions and to offer products and services to you using the Internet, email and mail sent via the U.S. Post Office.

    When required by law or where we have a good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a criminal investigation, a court order, or legal process served on our company in direct relation to you. We may also share your personally identifiable information if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of the Terms of Use of our website and services, or as otherwise required by law.

    If you have established an account with us, we may share the information submitted under your account among any of our affiliates or with our trusted third party service providers working on our behalf in order to provide you with a seamless experience and to improve the quality of our services. We will not disclose your account information to other people or non-affiliated companies, except in limited circumstances described in this Privacy Policy or with your consent.

We currently DO NOT share your personally identifiable information with any other companies or organizations that would present you with offers or promotions that are not directly related to Harvest Hills Metal Design.

Security

We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of the data you provide to us. Our servers are protected by firewalls and are physically located in secure data facilities to further increase security. While no computer or facility is 100% safe from outside attacks, we believe that the steps we have taken to protect your personally identifiable information dramatically reduce the likelihood of security problems to a level appropriate for the type of data involved.

Opt-Out of Services

At any time you may opt-out of our services. You are free to delete all cookies on your browser, or have your browser notify you when a cookie is set, simply check your browser settings. By deleting your cookies you will disable our ability, or that of our third party partners, to deliver advertisements that are targeted to your interests. You will have to clear your cookies each time you visit our online Sites to ensure that you are not receiving retargeted advertisements.

You may also receive email messages from us. If you no longer wish to receive these communications, let us know by following the opt-out directions on any of the e-mail messages you have received from us.

Arbitration

This Privacy Policy or any claim, cause of action or dispute (“claim”) arising out of or related to this Privacy Policy shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of Pennsylvania, notwithstanding any conflicts of law principles. Additionally, you agree that all claims must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in the State of Pennsylvania, except as described in the immediately following paragraphs regarding arbitration.

You agree to resolve disputes through arbitration.

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to this Privacy Policy, your use of this website, or to any products or services sold or distributed by us or otherwise through this website will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Privacy Policy.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis, the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Privacy Policy as a court would. We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

The arbitrator will not, however, have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages, the right to which each party hereby waives, and the arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of this Privacy Policy and the failure to do so will be deemed an excess of arbitral authority and grounds for judicial review. If any provision of the agreement to arbitrate in this section is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class, representative or private attorney general arbitration).

Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, notice on any claim arising from or related to the Privacy Policy must be made within one (1) year after such claim arose or be forever barred. For purposes of this section, the Privacy Policy and related transactions will be subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA).

Privacy Policy Changes

As we continue to improve the services, products, and features we provide, this Privacy Policy is subject to change. This Privacy Policy is subject to change without direct notice to you. We may change our Privacy Policy at any time by posting a new version of it on our website. Therefore you should review this Privacy Policy each time you visit our website.
