PRIVACY STATEMENT

Effective July 1, 2004

 redwoodshores.com recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of information collected about the users and visitors of our website.  This Privacy Statement discloses how we collect information and use it in the course of our business.

 To that end, we gather data that users provide through optional, voluntary registration on our website.

 Be assured that we do not disclose personal information to third parties without your consent, except as may be noted in the Privacy Statement or disclosed to you.

 We collect information by specifically requesting it from you.  Generally this occurs when you register at the website or request information or a service.  Usually, we use your information to operate the website and to deliver services.

 We do not disclose any specific personal information that you submit to us about you in a manner that connects you with the personal information, except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.  

Users should be aware that while on our website they can hyperlink, or be directed to, other websites that are beyond our control and/or outside our service.  For example, if you “click” on a banner advertisement or “click” to transfer off our website, other web sites may utilize users’ information to collect data, or solicit information.

 redwoodshores.com does not control such websites, and therefore, is not responsible for their contents or the hyperlinks or advertising they choose to place on such websites.  Inclusion of hyperlinks to these websites does not imply any endorsement of the material on such websites or any association with their operators.  Our Privacy Statement does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, which is beyond our control.

 Please keep in mind that whenever you give out information online (for example, via message boards or forums) that information can be collected and used by people you do not know.  While redwoodshores.com strives to protect users’ information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online, and users disclose such information at their own risk.

 The security of all information associated with our users is important to us.  We exercise care in providing secure transmission of your information from your computer to our servers.  Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.  As a result, while we strive to protect your information, redwoodshores.com can’t ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk.  Once we receive your transmission, we employ industry standards to safeguard the confidentiality of your information, such as firewalls.  However, “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet.

By using our website, you signify your agreement to redwoodshores.com’s Privacy Statement.  

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT,

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE.
