This site is owned and operated by Monadnock Log Home Services. Your privacy on the
Internet is of the utmost importance to us. At Monadnock Log Home Services, we want to make
your experience online satisfying and safe.
Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we
feel you should fully understand our policy and the terms and
conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information. This
privacy statement discloses what information we gather and how we use
it.
INFORMATION Monadnock Log Home Services GATHERS AND TRACKS
Monadnock Log Home Services gathers two types of information about users:
Information that users provide through optional, voluntary
submissions. These are voluntary submissions to receive our electronic
newsletters, to participate in our message boards or forums, to email a
friend, and from participation in polls and surveys:
Information Monadnock Log Home Services gathers through aggregated tracking
information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites.
This information allows us to better tailor our content to readers'
needs and to help our advertisers and sponsors better understand the
demographics of our audience. Because Monadnock Log Home Services derives its revenue mainly
from sponsorships and advertising, providing such aggregated
demographic data is essential to keeping our service free to users.
Under no circumstances does Monadnock Log Home Services divulge any information about an
individual user to a third party.
Monadnock Log Home Services Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services, which require some type of voluntary submission of personal information by users:
1. Electronic newsletters policy (Dispatches)
We will offer a free electronic newsletter to users. Monadnock Log Home Services
gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users
may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the link
provided in every newsletter that points users to the subscription
management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at the
time of registration.
2. Surveys: Monadnock Log Home Services may occasionally conduct user surveys to better target our
content to our audience. We sometimes share the aggregated demographic
information in these surveys with our sponsors, advertisers and
partners. We never share any of this information about specific
individuals with any third party.
USAGE TRACKING:
Monadnock Log Home Services tracks user traffic patterns throughout all of our sites.
However, we do not correlate this information with data about
individual users. Monadnock Log Home Services does break down overall usage statistics
according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by
reading this information from the browser string (information contained
in every user's browser). Monadnock Log Home Services sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that users
enter in our Search function, but this tracking is never associated
with individual users. We use tracking information to determine which
areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those
areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well
each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better
service for you.
COOKIES:
We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of
your computer. The cookie itself does not contain Personal Information
although it will enable us to relate your use of this site to
information that you have specifically and knowingly provided. But the
only personal information a cookie can contain is information you
supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read
cookie files created by other sites. Monadnock Log Home Services uses cookies to track
user traffic patterns (as described above). Our advertising system
delivers a one-time cookie to better track ad impressions and click
rates.
You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. If
you\\\'ve set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will
receive the warning message with each cookie. You do not need to have
cookies turned on to use this site. However, you do need cookies to
participate actively in message boards, forums, polling and surveys.
USE OF INFORMATION
Monadnock Log Home Services uses any information voluntarily given by our users to
enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to provide
interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare
future content based on the interests of our users.
As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide
in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to
participate in polls, surveys, message boards, and forums. We send out
newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (depending on the
newsletter), and occasionally send out special editions when we think
subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing. Monadnock Log Home Services never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties,
including advertisers, sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our
sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. We do
not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page
performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for
you. We track search terms entered in Search function as one of many
measures of what interests our users. But we don't track which terms a
particular user enters. Monadnock Log Home Services creates aggregate reports on user demographics and
traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and partners. This allows
our advertisers to advertise more effectively, and allows our users to
receive advertisements that are pertinent to their needs. Because we
don't track the usage patterns of individual users, an advertiser or
sponsor will never know that a specific user clicked their ad. We will
not disclose any information about any individual user except to comply
with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal
safety of our users or the public.
SHARING OF THE INFORMATION
Monadnock Log Home Services uses the above-described information to tailor our
content to suit your needs and help our advertisers better understand
our audience's demographics. This is essential to keeping our service
free. We will not share information about individual users with any
third party, except to comply with applicable law or valid legal
process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the public.
SECURITY
Monadnock Log Home Services operates secure data networks protected by industry
standard firewall and password protection systems. Our security and
privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary
and only authorized individuals have access to the information provided
by our customers.
OPT-OUT POLICY
We give users options wherever necessary and practical. Such choices include:
Opting not to register to receive our electronic newsletters.
Opting not to participate in certain interactive areas, which
completely alleviates the need to gather any personally identifiable
information from our users
YOUR CONSENT
By using this site, you consent to the collection and use of this
information by Monadnock Log Home Services. If we decide to change our privacy policy, we
will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of
what information we collect, how we use it, and under what
circumstances we disclose it.
