Our Policy

We are committed to protecting the privacy of our Web site visitors, and we will use our best efforts to ensure that the information you submit to us remains private, and is used only for the purposes as set forth below. That is our commitment to you.

When you subscribe to receive our electronic newsletter, participate in our Bulletin Board, purchase a product, or do other like activities, we may need specific information about you, such as your name, address, email address, telephone number, or credit card number. If you choose to receive these types of communications, but later decide you no longer want to receive them, simply let us know by sending an email to info@tfguild.org or unsubscribe at the appropriate place on our Web site.

We do not disclose any personal information about you nor do we disclose information about your individual visits to our Web site.

We do not offer, or sell or rent your personal information to any other organization. If we decide to do so in the future, we will state that in advance.

When you place an order at our online store, your personal details and credit card information are not sent over the Internet. All of your information is kept in a secure environment at the site of our online store, and it is accessible only to those few and necessary people who process your order.

When you do offer any information, such as your email address, when you register for a Bulletin Board or when you leave a message in our Guestbook, that information may be used by others who visit the site. This may result in annoying and unwanted messages from others. We regret such misuse of people's trust, but unfortunately, we cannot forbid nor can we prevent any third party from doing so.

We also cannot authenticate that visitors to our Web site are who they say they are, nor can we validate the information provided by other users made available through the TFG Web Site. Please use caution and healthy skepticism when you visit our site as well as any other site on the Internet.

COOKIES: The Timber Framers Guild site does not use cookies to track your visits except in the case of Ask the Experts Bulletin Board, which we lease from a third-party provider. In order for this feature to function properly, you must have cookies enabled on your computer. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding what is done with your information, please email us at info@tfguild.org.
