Dunham Bootmakers ("Dunham", "we" or "us") is respectful of the privacy concerns of the visitors to its web site. Dunham also recognizes the valuable potential of technology to help people communicate with the companies whose web sites they visit, particularly through customer databases. Responsible use of the information you share with Dunham is paramount. In order to help you understand the role technology plays in the collection and use of information you provide to Dunham, Dunham has created the following privacy policy and guidelines. By using this web site you are agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any terms or practices described in this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Dunham web site.
NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION In general, you can visit the Dunham web site and view its content while remaining anonymous by not providing any personal information. In some cases, when you visit the Dunham web site, Dunham may, through the use of "cookies" (which are described in greater detail below), automatically collect information about you that is not personally identifiable. Examples of this type of information include the type of Internet browser you are using, the type of computer operating system you are using, the domain name of your internet service provider and/or the web site from which you linked to Dunham’s web site or advertisement.
PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION Dunham will not collect any personally identifiable information about you
(such as your name, address, telephone number or email address) unless you provide it to us voluntarily (for example, if you complete our on-line contact form). Dunham’s purpose for gathering such information is to enhance your online experience by understanding you better and also to make you aware of new products or offers in which you may be interested. For example, Dunham may use such information to send you directed email with news and information on new content and features of the Dunham web site and new products and services offered by Dunham and its partners. Use of any of the services on the Dunham web site is entirely voluntary; however, if you do not provide the personal information requested by us, then we may elect not to make the related services available for your use. If you have registered with Dunham and do not want Dunham or its partners to contact you in the future, please see Opt-Out below.
When you do provide us with personally identifiable information, we will take appropriate steps to protect the information you share with us. In this regard, our policy is that we do not give, sell or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to anyone outside the Dunham organization or selected Dunham partners unless we first disclose to you at the time of collection that your personal information may be provided to third parties. However, there are certain limited instances where we may disclose or transfer personally identifiable information. For example, we may provide such information to appropriate authorities if we believe in good faith that the law requires it or to protect the legal rights or property of Dunham. Additionally, as we continue to develop our business, we may buy or sell business assets. In such transactions, customer information is generally one of the transferred business assets. However, we are not in the business of selling customer information to others, and aside from certain exceptional circumstances, we will take appropriate measures to ensure the protection of the information you provide to us.
USE OF COOKIES When you view one of our web sites or advertisements, we may store some information on your computer. This information will be in the form of a "cookie" or similar file. "Cookies" are alphanumeric identifiers that are transferred to your computer's hard drive through your internet browser. Cookies enable our system to recognize your browser and to tailor our web site or advertisement to better match your interests and preferences. They also make shopping and purchasing merchandise more convenient for you (for example, by allowing us to store items in your "Gym Bag" between visits). With most internet browsers, you can erase cookies from your computer hard drive, block all cookies or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn more about these functions. If you choose not to accept cookies, you should be aware that you might not be able to experience the full functionality of the Dunham web site.
SPECIAL NOTE TO PARENTS We do not knowingly collect, use or retain any personal information from visitors to our web site who are under the age of 13 for any purpose whatsoever (including internal or external marketing purposes). In addition, we will delete any records of such personal information that come to our attention. If it comes to your attention that your child under 13 has provided any personal information to the Dunham web site, we invite you to notify us so that we may delete the information from our records and discontinue any related features or services.
While Dunham’s policy prohibits children
under 13 from registering with the web site, parents should
supervise their children's online activities and consider
using parental control tools available from online services
and software manufacturers that help provide a kid-friendly
online environment. These tools can also prevent children
from disclosing online their name, address and other personal
information without parental permission. For additional information

Assistance" page of the Direct Marketing Association home
page (http://www.the-dma.org).
