Privacy is important to us and we understand
that privacy is important to you. This Privacy
Statement tells you how we protect and use the
information that we gather through this Maine
Made Furniture Co. web site. Maine Made
Furniture Co. and its affiliates operate other
web sites. This Privacy Statement does not apply
to the other web sites. You should refer to the
privacy statements posted on other web sites
when you visit them.
This Privacy Statement was last revised on
April 24, 2007. We may change this Privacy
Statement at any time and for any reason. We
encourage you to review this Privacy Statement
each time you visit the web site.
INTRODUCTION
The information we receive, and how we use
it, depends on what you do when visiting our web
site. We collect and use your non-personal
information (information that is not
identifiable to you personally) differently than
your personal information.
WHAT IS NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Non-personal information is information we
collect through this web site that does not
identify you as an individual person. It may
include information such as the following:
- the type of web
browser software you use (for example,
Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer)
- the name of the domain
from which you access the Internet
- the Internet address
of the web site from which you linked
directly to our web site
- the date and time you
access our web site
- which pages you have
visited on our web site
- personal information
that has been de-identified
If you visit our web site to read or download
information, such as information about one of
our products, we may collect certain
non-personal information about you from your
computer. This information is collected from
your computer's web browser: If you only read or
download information on our web site, we do not
collect or learn your name, e-mail address, home
address, or other personal information about
you. We may place a text file called a cookie in
the browser files of your computer when you
visit. The cookie may be stored on your
computer's hard drive. The information that we
collect using cookies is non-personal
information. US Government Information Bulletin
(I-034) contains a good description of cookie
technology at:
http://www.ciac.org/ciac/bulletins/i-034.shtml.
You are always free to decline our cookies if
your browser permits, but some parts of our web
site may not work properly for you if you do so.
We will not allow third parties to place cookies
on our web site.
WHAT DOES MAINE MADE FURNITURE CO.
DO WITH NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Because non-personal information cannot
identify you or be tied to you in any way, there
are no restrictions on the ways that we can use
or share non-personal information. We are always
looking for ways to better serve you and improve
our products and this web site. We will use
non-personal information from you to help us
make this web site more useful to visitors. We
also will use non-personal information for other
business purposes. For example, we may use
non-personal information to:
- create reports for
internal use to develop products, services
or content
- customize the
information that is of interest to you
- provide aggregated
"traffic statistics" and "response rates" to
third parties
WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Personal information is information we
collect through this web site that we can use to
specifically identify you, such as your:
- name
- telephone number
- e-mail address
- purchase information
In some places on this web site you have the
opportunity to send us personal information
about yourself. For example, you may fill out a
login or contact form or send us an e-mail.
You may also choose to allow us to
personalize your visits to the web site, in
which case we will ask you for certain personal
information to make your visits to our web site
more helpful to you. When this information is
combined with the non-personal information that
we collect through cookies (described above), we
will be able to tell that you have visited our
web site before and can personalize your access
to our web site, for example, by providing
wholesale pricing or promotional offers that
might be of interest to you.
HOW DOES MAINE MADE FURNITURE CO. KEEP AND

improve products, services and content
- to remove your
personal identifiers (your name, address,
e-mail address, etc). In this case, you
would no longer be identified as a single,
unique individual. Once we have
de-identified information, it is
non-personal information and we may treat it
like other non-personal information.

Privacy Statement and other rules about your
