Timberland Website
Privacy Policy
The Timberland Company and
its affiliates (collectively, “we,” “us” and “our”) provide
you with access to this website (the “Web Site”). Your access
to and use of this Web Site is governed by the Timberland Web Site Terms
and Conditions.
We value your privacy and are
committed to developing technology that gives you a powerful and safe
experience. This Privacy Policy describes and governs how we collect
information about your use of this Web Site and how we use and share
such information.
Importantly, we may revise
this Privacy Policy and post any changes to this Web Site so that you
are always informed about what information we collect, how we use it
and under what circumstances we may disclose it. By continuing
to use this Web Site after having an opportunity to review this Privacy
Policy, you have accepted these terms and consented to our collection,
use and sharing of the information as described herein. If you
do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use this Web Site.
What information do we collect?
When you visit this Web Site, we automatically detect your IP address and browser language, which allows us to direct you to the correct version of our website. All of this information is anonymous--meaning we cannot identify you personally.
By registering on this Web Site and participating in our surveys, we will ask for some personal information such as your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, gender, age, income, marital status, and other information so we can analyze the data from the surveys and run the promotion and notify winners.
You may also be able to register to receive e-mails from us regarding, for example, products and promotions.
Please note that when you place
an order for products using Timberland’s e-commerce website (www.timberland.com)
or using our toll-free telephone number, we need to know information
such as your name, e-mail address, billing address, phone number, and
credit card number so we can process and fill your order and contact
you if we have any questions. Our collection and use of this information
is not governed by this Privacy Policy; rather it is governed
by the privacy policy available on the web at www.timberland.com.
How do we use the information
we collect?
We use your information to operate and improve the Web Site and analyze the personal information you provide. Also, we may, from time to time, review your information and information of other customers to help us analyze trends, purchasing patterns and preferences, and demographics.
When you complete a survey
or participate in a contest, mailing or other promotion on the Web Site,
we use the information you provide to us to send e-mail, regular mail
to you about our products, services or other contests and promotions
you might be interested in, unless you indicate that you do not wish
to receive such mail or text message.
We maintain the information that you provide us, along with a record of your purchases, in a database. To best serve you, we may combine this information with data that is publicly available and data that we collect in our own stores, at our marketing events, or receive from other business partners and/or reputable sources whose policies meet the Direct Marketing
Association’s privacy standards.
Do we share your information
with third parties?
We may share your information
with our trusted third party service providers to help us manage and
operate our Web Site, perform statistical analysis, send you e-mail,
postal mail or text messages, provide customer support and perform other
important services. Although these partners may not be affiliated
with us, they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information
and are not authorized to discuss, disclose or make any use of your
personal information except as necessary to provide such services.
Now and then, we may also use
third parties to help us collect and aggregate certain information collected
at this Web Site. We may share this aggregated, non-personally identifiable
information with existing and prospective business partners and advertisers.
None of the aggregate information will contain any information that
identifies you individually.
We may also share your personal
information with carefully screened Timberland business partners to
offer you products and services that we believe might interest you.
But, only The Timberland Company, Timberland Retail, Inc., or other
Timberland affiliates and business partners will send you these messages.
In each case, our partners will not be authorized to discuss, disclose,
or make any use of your personal information except for extending the
offer to you. If you prefer not be included in these types of prospective
offers, please contact us by e-mail to onlineservice@timberland.com to let us know. Please be sure to
include your first and last name, street address, and email address
in your request.
We or our third party service
providers may disclose specific individual information if we or they
reasonably believe that it's necessary to: (i) comply with applicable
federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations or orders; (ii) to
protect or defend the rights, property and interests of The Timberland
Company, Timberland Retail, Inc., Timberland business partners, affiliates
or its guests, or the interests of our third party service providers;
and (iii) under exigent circumstances, to protect the personal safety
of users of the Web Site or the public.
