Privacy Policy

The Privacy Policy for www.aloe-vera-and-handy-herbs.com

This is the original Privacy Policy when I began this website in 2007. There is a NEW POLICY NOW that meets the GDPR standards and Guidelines. You will find that here: NEW PRIVACY POLICY (effective 2018, updated December 8, 2020).

My own privacy is important to me; I assume you care about yours too. This spells out my Privacy Policy for your sake. This site does not seek out your personal information, but as you correspond with me, it can happen that I discover your name and some details about you. This is kept in the strictest confidence, and not shared with even my personal friends.

I, Ruth Marlene Friesen, as the owner, hope this will help you in your decision to visit this site from time to time, and to not be afraid to interact with me.

Aloe-Vera-and-Handy-Herbs.com strives to maintain the highest standards of decency, fairness and integrity in all operations. The goal is to protect our customers, consumers, and online visitors to this website, while offering helpful information and links for shopping.

Personal Information

The only personally identifiable information I receive is what you volunteer when you submit some information, or a question, or when you sign up to receive my news letter by email. Generally this will only be your email address, and perhaps your name or username. Further information should only be required to ship a purchase you have made, and that will go only be to a third party whose link you followed from our site. So of course, I will have no knowledge of those details.

I do not rent or share or sell my mailing list in ventures of any kind with anyone else. If this should change it would show up here in this Privacy Policy document.

Use of Cookies

If any cookies are collected at all, it would be by the web browser system identifying that someone from that computer has returned to the site. That does not give me any information about you other than your computer number, and my STATs might show what percentage of visitors come from which countries. That still does not tell me who you are. Any cookies you run into on this site should be harmless. (Unless you gain weight by looking at pictures of edible cookies).

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying your Web browser; however, if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the site.

A web beacon is a transparent image file used to monitor your journey around a single website or collection of sites. They are also referred to as web bugs and are commonly used by sites that hire third-party services to monitor traffic. They may be used in association with cookies to understand how visitors interact with the pages and content on the pages of a web site, however, I would have no knowledge of, or access to that information, and unable to use it myself.

I do not use web beacons here. We may serve third-party advertisements that use cookies and web beacons in the course of ads being served on our web site to ascertain how many times you've seen an advertisement. No personally identifiable information you give us is provided to them for cookie or web beacon use, so they cannot personally identify you with that information on our web site.

Some third-party advertisements may be provided by Google, which uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google uses the DART cookie, which enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visits to this site and other sites on the Web. You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

(Note for Nov/26/20: I am discontinuing Google ads with this rebuild of this website).

Your browser (program) can be set to accept or reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is being sent. Privacy software can be used to override web beacons. Taking either of these actions shouldn't cause a problem with this site, should you so choose.

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act

This website is directed to adults; it is not directed at children under the age of 13. I operate this site in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, and will not knowingly collect or use personal information from anyone under 13 years of age.

Release of Information

If aloe-vera-and-handy-herbs.com is ever sold, (not likely!) the information we have obtained from you through your voluntary participation in this site may transfer to the new owner as a part of the sale in order that the service being provided to you may continue. In that event, you will receive notice through our website of that change in control and practices, and we will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the purchaser honors any opt-out requests you might make of me.

To Correct or Remove Information

I provide this privacy policy as a statement to you of my commitment to protect your personal information. If you have submitted personal information through our website and would like that information deleted from my records or would like to update or correct that information, please use my How to Reach Ruth page.

Updates and Effective Date

Aloe-Vera-and-Handy-Herbs.com reserves the right to make changes in this Privacy Policy. If there is a material change in my privacy practices, I will indicate on this site that my privacy practices have changed and provide a link to the new privacy policy. I encourage you to periodically review this policy so that you will know what information I collect and how I use it.
