Personal Information
Personal information is information about a specific person,
including the person's name, address, telephone number, email
address, credit card number, birth date, information about
the person's activities and purchases, and, if applicable,
member number.
The Information We Gather
When you become an Backwoods member, and whenever you purchase
products from Backwoods, become a registered shopper,
participate in our gift registry or request a catalog,
we collect and store your personal and transactional
information in our customer database. This information
is generally used to process your transactions, respond
to your requests, and, if you are a member, calculate
your member dividend. You may also receive periodic printed
or e-mail communications from us about new products and
services, discounts, special promotions or upcoming events.
Voluntary Registered Shopper Information
Your Backwoods Online Account is an optional
service provided on our websites. Registering
allows us to speed up the
shopping process for you and lets us offer you
access to special features and promotions.
Subscription Preferences
When you provide Backwoods with your email address you
will receive our email newsletters. You may choose at
any time to discontinue receiving Backwoods newsletters
by opting out or unsubscribing.
We often state that "Backwoods will not share your
e-mail address." That statement is our promise to
you that we will not rent, sell, or give your e-mail
address to any other organization for the purposes of
marketing
or solicitation.
However, in order to deliver our e-mail newsletters Backwoods
will need to supply your e-mail address to specific service
providers who deliver e-mail on our behalf. We also use
service providers to authenticate and validate the information
provided by our customers to help assure that our e-mail
is successfully delivered.
A second statement we make is "You can opt-out at
any time." This statement is our promise to you
that we will respect a decision to stop receiving Backwoods
e-mail newsletters. Every e-mail you receive from Backwoods
will include a link that allows you to quickly and easily
unsubscribe from any or all Backwoods e-mail newsletters.
Alternatively, you may click here to unsubscribe or to
update your e-mail newsletter preferences.
Please note: In order to process your purchases, we may
still send you a confirmation e-mail, or we may contact
you by mail or telephone if we have questions about your
order.
Privacy Policy Changes
This Privacy Policy replaces all previous disclosures we
may have provided you about our information practices.
We reserve the right to change this policy and to apply
any changes to previously collected information as permitted
by law. If our information practices change in the future,
we will notify you by posting the changes on our website.

security. Backwoods employs industry-leading technologies
to store sensitive information and protect it while in
transit over the Internet. We want you to be able to
shop at Backwoods with complete confidence. If for any
reason you feel uncomfortable shopping with us online,
we invite you to stop by a local Backwoods store or call
