Information Collection and Use
Yard Art LLC collects information from our users at several different points on our web site. When you use the web site, some basic, general information is collected. This general information is used internally in connection with our business to improve the web site, including our marketing and advertising efforts.
For each visitor to YardArtSigns.com, our Web server automatically recognizes only the consumer's domain name, but not the e-mail address. We collect only the e-mail addresses of those who post messages, the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail and aggregate information on what pages consumers access or visit, information volunteered by the consumer, such as survey information and/or site registrations.
The information we collect is used to improve the content of our Web page, used to notify consumers about updates to our Web site and never shared with other organizations for commercial purposes.
We do not sell, share, or rent this information to a third party in any way other than as disclosed in this privacy policy.
We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities and may, in our sole discretion, disclose personal information or other information to satisfy any law, regulation, subpoena, or government request.
We reserve the right to release personal information or other information about users who we believe are engaged in illegal activities or are otherwise in violation of our Terms of Service, even without a subpoena, warrant or court order, if we believe, in our sole discretion, that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to operate our web site or to protect the rights or property of Appliedhfs.com, our affiliates, or our officers, directors, employees, agents, third-party content providers, suppliers, sponsors, or licensors.
We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities we reasonably believe in our sole discretion to be unlawful. If we are legally compelled to disclose information about you to a third party, we will attempt to notify you by sending an email to the email address in our records unless doing so would violate the law or unless you have not provided your email address to us.
Log Files and Sharing of General or Demographic Information
Like most standard web sites, we use log files on our servers. These log files store information regarding IP (internet protocol) addresses, browser type, ISP (internet service provider), referring/ exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks. These log files are used to analyze trends, administer the web site, track user's movements in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for our use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personal information. We will share aggregated, general or demographic information we collect about our users and their use of our web site with our partners and advertisers in a manner which does not identify any individual user.
