Atwood Fence Company, Inc. (“Atwood Fence“) operates atwoodfence.net and may operate other websites. It is Atwood Fence’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Atwood Fence collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Atwood Fence’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Atwood Fence’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Atwood Fence may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Atwood Fence also collects potentially personally identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments on atwoodfence.net blogs/sites. Atwood Fence only discloses logged-in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Atwood Fence’s websites choose to interact with Atwood Fence in ways that require Atwood Fence to gather personally identifying information. The amount and type of information that Atwood Fence gathers depend on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at atwoodfence.net to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Atwood Fence are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Atwood Fence collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Atwood Fence. Atwood Fence does not disclose personally identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
Atwood Fence may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Atwood Fence may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Atwood Fence does not disclose personally identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Atwood Fence discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Atwood Fence’s behalf or to provide services available at Atwood Fence’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Atwood Fence’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Atwood Fence will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Atwood Fence discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental requests, or when Atwood Fence believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Atwood Fence, third parties or the public at large.

If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Atwood Fence takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally identifying information.
