Privacy Policy for Tropical Landscapes Hawaii, LLC

Introduction

Tropical Landscapes Hawaii, LLC (“Tropical Landscapes Hawaii”) is committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors. This policy outlines how we will treat your personal information. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy to understand how your personal information will be treated as you make full use of our offerings.

Types of Personal Information Collected

We may collect, store, and use the following kinds of personal data:

1. Information about your visits to and use of this website.

2. Information that you provide to us for the purpose of registering with us and/or subscribing to our website services and/or email notifications.

Methods of Collecting Personal Information

We may collect information in several different ways from our website:

1. We may collect information about your computer and your visits to this website, such as your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral source, length of visit, and number of page views. We may use this information to administer this website, improve its usability, and for marketing purposes.

2. You may browse our website without submitting any personal information. However, if you choose to take advantage of some of our specific products and services that are available only to registered users, you will be asked to register with us. As part of your registration, we may ask for personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, email address, birth date, gender, occupation, industry, and family. We keep all of your personally identifiable information in secure online and offline facilities. Once you register, your use of our website will no longer be anonymous, and you will be able to take full advantage of the many specialized offerings on our website.

3. In addition to registration, we may ask you for personal information at other times, including (but not limited to) when you request information about a product, request dealer information, or promotion sponsored by us or one of our partners, or when you send us a letter or email message, such as if you report a problem with our website or services. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence. From time to time, we also may ask users to complete surveys that we use for research purposes. Wherever we collect personal information, the information you provide will be subject to the terms of this Policy. In addition, we may use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

4. Our sites may also contain links, advertisements, or other interactional tools to other websites operated by other companies or persons. We are not responsible for the Privacy Policies of other websites or third-party website functionality. This Policy statement only applies to information collected and maintained by us.

Our Use of Cookies

We may use cookies on this website. A cookie is a text file sent by a web server to a web browser and stored by the browser. The text file is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser. Some of these cookie files will be stored on your hard drive even after you close your browser, and other files may be temporary files that will be deleted when you close your Internet browser. We will not, however, attempt to read any cookies or files that may be on your computer, including cookies that may have been placed on your computer by another website you may have visited.

We may send a cookie which may be stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. We may use the information we obtain from the cookie to administer this website, improve its usability, and for marketing purposes. We may also use that information to recognize your computer when you visit our website.

Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies. For example, in Internet Explorer, you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools,” “Internet Options,” “Privacy,” and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector. This will, however, have a negative impact on the usability of many websites.

Generally, we use cookies to:

1. Remind us of who you are and to access your account information (stored on our secured computers) to permit the tailoring of the Website to better match your interests and/or preferences. These cookies will be stored on your computer when you register or “Sign In” to our Website and may be modified while you browse our sites or when you “Sign Out” from one of the sites.

2. Estimate our audience size. Each browser accessing our Website is given a unique cookie that is then used to determine the extent of repeat usage, usage by a registered user versus an unregistered user, and to help target our services and advertisements based on your interests and behavior.

3. Measure certain traffic patterns, such as which areas of our Website you have visited and your visiting patterns. This information, however, is only gathered in aggregate form – that is, this aggregated information is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person. We use this research to understand how our users’ habits are similar or different from one another so that we can make each new experience on our sites a better one. We may use this information to better personalize the content, banners, and promotions that you and other users will see on our sites.

Use of Your Information

Personal data submitted on this website will be used for the purposes specified in this privacy policy or in relevant parts of the website. In addition to the uses identified elsewhere in this privacy policy, we may use your personal information to:

1. Improve your browsing experience by personalizing the website.

2. Send information (other than marketing communications) to you which we think may be of interest to you by post or by email or similar technology.

3. Send to you marketing communications relating to our business (or the businesses of carefully selected third parties) which we think may be of interest to you by post or, where you have specifically agreed to this, by email or similar technology (you can inform us at any time if you no longer require marketing communications to be sent by contacting us).

4. Provide other companies with statistical information about our users – but this information will not be used to identify any individual user. We will not, without your express consent, provide your personal information to any third parties for the purpose of direct marketing.

In addition, we do research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us upon registration, during a promotion, from our server log files, or from surveys. We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis and may be shared with advertisers or business partners.

Third-Party Websites

The website contains links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy policies of third-party websites. Specifically, please be aware that our partners, advertisers, and other websites that have links on our site may collect personally identifiable information about you. The information practices of those partners, advertisers, and other websites linked to our site are not covered by this Policy.

Sharing Information

When you are on our Website and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with us alone unless it is specifically stated otherwise. Some of our services, however, may be offered in conjunction with a partner company. To provide this co-branded service to you, it may be necessary for us to share your personal information with our partner company. For example, if you request information about a dealer in your geographical area, we may send your personally identifiable information to that dealer so that it can fulfill your request.

As a general rule, we will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or as specifically set forth in this Policy.

Other Disclosures

In addition to the disclosures reasonably necessary for the purposes identified elsewhere in this privacy policy, we may disclose information about you:

1. To the extent that we are required to do so by law.

2. In connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings.

3. To establish, exercise, or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk).

4. To the purchaser (or prospective purchaser) of any business or asset which we are (or are contemplating) selling.

5. With your consent to other parties.

Security of Your Personal Data

We will take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse, or alteration of your personal information. We will store all the personal information you provide on our secure servers. All electronic transactions you make to or receive from us will be encrypted using SSL technology.

Of course, data transmission over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet.

Policy Amendments

We may update this privacy policy from time to time by posting a new version on our website. You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are happy with any changes. We may also notify you of changes to our privacy policy by email.

Your Rights

You may instruct us to provide you with any personal information we hold about you. Provision of such information will be subject to:

1. The payment of a fee (currently fixed at USD $25.00).

2. The supply of appropriate evidence of your identity (for this purpose, we will usually accept a photocopy of your Government Issued I.D. certified by a notary plus an original copy of a utility bill showing your current address).

We may withhold such personal information to the extent permitted by law.

You may instruct us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes by email at any time. In practice, you will usually either expressly agree in advance to our use of your personal data for marketing purposes, or we will provide you with an opportunity to opt-out of the use of your personal data for marketing purposes.
