Information Collection

The Garden Corner ~Salsa Dreams~ Site respects your right to privacy. We request very little personal information on our site.  For that information which is collected the Garden Corner ~Salsa Dreams~ retains sole ownership.  Following are the uses of those places that we deemed information collection necessary.

The ads appearing on this Web site are delivered to users by Commission Junction and Thompson & Morgan our Web advertising partners. Information about users' visit to this site, such as number of times they have viewed an ad (but not user name, address, or other personal information), is used to serve ads to users on this site. For more information see Commission Junctions privacy policy and Thompson & Morgan's privacy policy.

Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.  We use a tracking utility called whoZontop, by ICDirect.com, that uses log files to analyze user movement. For more information see ICDirect's Privacy Policy

Business Transitions

In the event that the Garden Corner ~Salsa Dreams~ goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users' personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred.

If as a result of the business transition, the users' personally identifiable information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection they will be given choice consistent with our notification of changes section.

Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for information. For example, if we start a newsletter it will have an 'opt-out' mechanism so users may leave the list at any time at which time the email address is deleted from the mail list.
