Our collection of your information will only be used for the reason for which it is collected. Our collection of your information is purposefully limited to what we find reasonable and useful under the circumstances of which we use it.

Your information is kept confidential and secure. It will not be disclosed to anyone outside Northern Patio and our selected third-party service providers, such as PayPal (see below), without your consent, unless required by law.

Please review this privacy policy periodically as it may be updated. This policy was last revised March, 2017.

What Your Information Is
Your information is broadly defined as an identifiable individual. The information we collect from you (such as your web browsers cookies; defined below) often has its personal identifiers removed so that it is impossible to determine the identity of the person to whom the information relates. However, you may provide us with information that is more specific to you as an identifiable individual and retain some personal identifiers. You will find more information on this below.

Your Information We Collect
With your consent, we may collect your information in person, over the phone, by mail, by e-mail, through the Internet, or from our selected third party service providers. The type of information we usually collect may include your Name, Mailing and/or Street Address, E-Mail, Telephone Numbers, and Transaction History.

It is always your choice whether or not to provide us with your information. However, withholding your information may restrict or prevent us from providing you with services or products.

We may directly collect analytics data, or use third party analytics tools and services to help us measure traffic and usage trends for our website. These tools collect information sent by your browser or mobile device such as the web pages you visit on our website.
