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

Information You Give Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way.  See below to see examples of what we collect.  You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features.  We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future shopping for you, improving our store, and communicating with you.

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 GooseValley.com.  See below to see examples of the information we receive.

E-mail Communications:
To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from GooseValley.com if your computer supports such capabilities.  We also compare our customer list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers.  If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, simply opt out when you receive and email.

Information from Other Sources:
We might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information.  See below to see examples of the information we receive.

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 and to provide features such as storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.

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.  Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on's settings or visiting the Web site of its manufacturer.  However, because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of GooseValley.com's essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on.  For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to add items to your Shopping Cart, proceed to Checkout, or use any GooseValley.com products and services that require you to Sign in.

Does Goose Valley 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 share customer information only as described below.

Third-Party Service Providers:
We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf.  Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service.  They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

Protection of GooseValley.com and Others:
We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of GooseValley.com, our users, or others.  This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.  Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.

With Your Consent:
Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the 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.

What About Third-Party Advertisers and Links to Other Websites?
Our site includes links to other Web sites.  We do not provide any personally identifiable customer information to these third-party Web sites.
