collect?

you when you register on the site, place an order, enter a contest or
sweepstakes, respond to a survey or communication such as e-mail, or
participate in another site feature.
- When ordering or
registering, we may ask you for your name, e-mail address, mailing
address, phone number, credit card information or other information.
You may, however, visit our site anonymously.

about gift recipients so that we can fulfill the gift purchase. The
information we collect about gift recipients is not used for marketing
purposes.
- Like many websites, we use
"cookies" to enhance your experience and gather information about
visitors and visits to our websites. Please refer to the "Do we use
'cookies'?" section below for information about cookies and how we use
them.
How do we use your
information?
We may use the information we collect from you when you register,
purchase products, enter a contest or promotion, respond to a survey or
marketing communication, surf the website, or use certain other site
features in the following ways:
- To personalize your site
experience and to allow us to deliver the type of content and product
offerings in which you are most interested.
- To allow us to better
service you in responding to your customer service requests.
- To quickly process your
transactions.

receive our e-mail newsletter, we may send you periodic e-mails. If you

refer to the "How can you opt-out, remove or modify information you
have provided to us?" section below. If you have not opted-in to
receive e-mail newsletters, you will not receive these e-mails.
Visitors who register or participate in other site features such as
marketing programs and 'members-only' content will be given a choice
whether they would like to be on our e-mail list and receive e-mail
communications from us.
How do we protect visitor
information?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of
your personal information. Your personal information is contained
behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of
persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are
required to keep the information confidential. When you place orders or
access your personal information, we offer the use of a secure server.
All sensitive/credit information you supply is transmitted via Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) technology and then encrypted into our databases to
be only accessed as stated above.
Do we use "cookies"?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider
transfers to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser (if
you allow) that enables the site's or service provider's systems to
recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.
For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items
in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your
preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables
us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help
us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so
that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.
We may contract with third-party service providers to assist us in
better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not
permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help
us conduct and improve our business.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is
being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this
through your browser (like Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer)
settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser
Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies. If you turn
cookies off, you won't have access to many features that make your site
experience more efficient and some of our services will not function
properly. However, you can still place orders over the telephone by
contacting customer service.
Do we disclose the
information we collect to outside parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your
personally identifiable information unless we provide you with advance
notice, except as described below. The term "outside parties" does not
include WBUTC, LLC dba Wild Birds Unlimited or The Cornell Lab of Ornithology. It also
does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist
us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you,
so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
We may also release your information when we believe release is
appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or
protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.
However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be
provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
How can you opt-out,
remove or modify information you have provided to us?
To modify your e-mail subscriptions, please let us know by modifying
your preferences in the "My Account" section. Please note that due to
email production schedules you may receive any emails already in
production.
To delete all of your online account information from our database,
sign into the "My Account" section of our site and remove your shipping

in order to service that transaction and for record keeping.
