The Wisconsin Apple Growers Association Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to the Wisconsin Apple Growers Association. This statement discloses the information practices for the Wisconsin Apple Growers Association Web sites, including what type of information is gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and with whom the information is shared.

Personal information
In general, you can visit the Wisconsin Apple Growers Association on the Internet without telling us who you are and without giving any personal information about yourself. There are times, however, when we or our partners may need information from you.

You may choose to give us personal information in a variety of situations. For example, you may want to give us information, such as your name and address or e-mail id, to correspond with you, or to register your business as part of the SavorWisconsin.com website. We intend to let you know how we will use such information before we collect it from you; if you tell us that you do not want us to use this information to make further contact with you beyond fulfilling your requests, we will respect your wishes. If you give us personal information about somebody else, such as registering their business with SavorWisconsin.com, we will assume that you have their permission to do so and that you will identify yourself as the party registering the business under the section entitled, "Authorizing Information".

Using and Sharing Personal Information
The following paragraphs describe in more detail how the Wisconsin Apple Growers Association may use your personal information and with whom we may share it on SavorWisconsin.com.

Marketing Use
The information you provide to the Wisconsin Apple Growers Association on the Wisconsin Apple Growers Association Web site - SavorWisconsin.com will also be used by the Wisconsin Apple Growers Association for marketing purposes. Before we use it, however, we will offer you the opportunity to choose whether or not to have your information used in this way. Although the critical information from your business (i.e. name of business, primary phone number, etc. ), are required and displayed on SavorWisconsin.com for consumer use, not all information is required and you have the opportunity to select some of the information which you may or may not want to be displayed. Some information will be gathered by the Wisconsin Apple Growers Association for internal use only. Please note that we reserve the right to NOT publish a registration from a business or company that does not fit under the SavorWisconsin.com guidelines. An email confirmation will be sent in the case that a registration is not approved for display on SavorWisconsin.com, as well as when a registration is approved for display on SavorWisconsin.com.

Other Wisconsin Apple Growers Association Web Site Notices
In some cases, specific Wisconsin Apple Growers Association Web sites may contain other notices about their use and the information practices applicable to those sites.

Information Security and Quality
We intend to protect your personal information and to maintain its quality. We implement appropriate measures and processes, such as using encryption when transmitting certain sensitive information, to help us to keep your information secure and to maintain its quality.

Cookies, Web Beacons and Other Technologies
We sometimes collect non-identifiable information from visits to our Web sites to help us provide better customer service. For example, we keep track of the domains from which people visit, and we also measure visitor activity on the Wisconsin Apple Growers Association Web sites, but we do so in ways that keep the information non-identifiable. This information is sometimes known as "clickstream data." The Wisconsin Apple Growers Association or others on the The Wisconsin Apple Growers Association’s behalf may use this data to analyze trends and statistics and to help us provide better customer service.

We collect the information we mentioned in the previous paragraphs through the use of various technologies, including one called "cookies". A cookie is a piece of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer as an anonymous tag that identifies your computer but not you. Some Wisconsin Apple Growers Association pages use cookies, sent by the Wisconsin Apple Growers Association or its third party vendors, or other technologies to better serve you when you return to the Web site. You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do so, however, some Web sites may not work properly.

Some Wisconsin Apple Growers Association Web sites also use Web beacon or other technologies to better tailor those sites to provide better customer service. These technologies may be in use on a number of pages across the The Wisconsin Apple Growers Association’s Web sites. When a visitor accesses these pages, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by us or by our suppliers. These Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If you don't want your cookie information to be associated with your visits to these pages, you can set your browser to turn off cookies.

If you turn off cookies, Web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded. For more information, please see "How to work with Cookies".

Service Quality/Problematic Registrations
Certain Web registrations on SavorWisconsin.com may also involve you calling us or our calling you. Please be aware that it is the Wisconsin Apple Growers Association general practice to follow up on registrations that are problematic or need clarification of some kind.

Disclosures Required By Law
Please be aware that in certain circumstances, it is possible that personal information may be subject to disclosure pursuant to judicial or other government subpoenas, warrants, or orders.

Privacy Technology
Technology will increasingly help give you more control over your personal information. It will also help organizations to manage their privacy practices and policies. The Wisconsin Apple Growers Association actively supports the development of privacy technologies to help achieve these goals and to help create greater trust and confidence in the way personal information is handled.

Links to non-Wisconsin Apple Growers Association Web sites
The Wisconsin Apple Growers Association Web sites may contain links to other Web sites. The Wisconsin Apple Growers Association is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those other Web sites.

Notification of Changes
This privacy statement was last updated on January 1, 2004. A notice will be posted on our Web site home page for 30 days whenever this privacy statement is changed in a material way.
