PRIVACY POLICY

The privacy of all of my visitors to Purplebear's Purple Flowers and Plants is very important to me.

I recognize that privacy of your personal information is very important. Here is information on what types of personal information I receive and collect when you use visit Purplebear's Purple Flowers and Plants and how I safeguard your information. I will never sell your personal information to third parties.

Log Files
As with most other websites, I collect and use the data contained in log files. Information in log files include your IP (internet protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as AOL or Comcast), the browser you used to visit my site (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), the time you visited my site and which pages you visited throughout my site.

Cookies and Web Beacons
I use third party advertisements on Purplebear's Purple Flowers and Plants to support my site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on my site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit my site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing Philadelphia real estate ads to someone in Philadelphia, for example).

For any of you who may not quite understand what a cookie is, it's just a very small text file placed in browsers to keep track of visits to a site. This way a site can remember things the next time you visit...like password or other bits of information. If you're concerned about cookies you can inquire about them at any of the sites you visit from here and I'm sure they would give you a more detailed description of how they use cookies.

You can choose to disable or selectively turn off third-party cookies in your browser settings or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you're able to interact with some websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.

Purplebear's Purple Flowers and Plants will not collect any of your private information except if you choose to give me your first name and email address in order to receive a reply back to any questions or comments you've given me. If you're concerned about any sites you visit from mine, you can read their individual privacy policies that are listed at their sites. Purplebear's Purple Flowers and Plants is not responsible for privacy policies or any content of any of those sites.

I won't abuse your trust in giving me your email by sending you any SPAM. SPAM's when somebody sends you email that you haven't requested or don't know who they are... I definitely will not do that. I want you to enjoy coming to my site and think of it as a nice place to visit so I'm not about to do anything to make you mad and not come back again. I receive a lot of spam myself, too and realize how annoying it is.

If you have any concerns at all about your privacy when visiting any sites from here, sites will usually have their privacy policies explained somewhere on their site or you can email them from their sites. I'm sure they'd be happy to explain it to you. If you don't see something you're looking for at a site, usually a site will have a site map that you can visit to find things. If for some reason you can't find any of that at any site, you should really think twice about that site. Any site online should make their policies available to their visitors.
