If you visit our site, we may collect the IP address of the user's computer, the user's browser software and operating system, the date and time the user accesses the site and the URL address of any web site from which the user linked and to where the user links. We use this information to monitor our site traffic.

Registration

To use some of our services, a user may be automatically registered or he or she may be asked to register. During the registration process, a user may be asked to give his or her contact information (i.e., name and email address). This information helps us to create a user's account on our system, to contact a user about services that may be helpful to him or her, and to allow buyers and suppliers to contact each other directly. Financial information (like credit card number, expiration date) is used for WoodPlanet.com's billing system only and is kept at all times in the strictest of confidence.

Sharing of Information

On some occasions, we share a user's information with third parties. Such instances include:
  • when we aggregate and disclose site traffic information for marketing and commercial purposes,
  • when we use an outside credit card processing company to bill users for our services,
  • when we share user information with our partners, affiliates, joint ventures, and advertisers that are committed to serving your need for our services and improving your user experience, and
  • when we must disclose user information to law enforcement or other government officials in an investigation.

WoodPlanet takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the website, their information is protected both online and offline. We SSL encrypt all financial information entered on our website.
