DTEP, LLC., is a simple business, with simple philosophies. We provide you with this privacy policy to help you understand what happens when you provide us with your information when you use or visit out sites, when you transact with us, what information, if any, may be gathered during your visit, and how we may use such information. By visiting our sites, you signify you consent to the practices and policies in this notice.

This policy applies to the information practices of DTEPStore, DTEP, DTEP-Archive, Down to Earth Products and its affiliates (collectively, “we,” “us” or “our”). In general, you can browse this web site without telling us who you are or revealing personal information about yourself. We may gather non-personal navigational information about where visitors go on our web site and information about the technical efficiencies of the site (i.e., statistics about web server activity, the type of data visitors access, referrer information, search engine performance, geographic information, browsers, platforms, server errors, items and information placed into abandoned shopping carts, and so on). We regularly analyze and use this information to deliver updated content and to support and enhance our relationship with you when you visit our site, through both advertising, keyword and press promotion.

Use of Cookies and Other Technologies

 

Like many websites, we also use "cookies" to enhance your experience and gather information about visitors and visits to our websites. 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. Cookies are typically stored on your computer's hard drive and are used by us to help track clicks and pass information as you go through the pages within the web site. For example, the cookies we use allow you to add multiple items to your shopping cart and recognize items that you placed in your shopping cart in a previous browsing session. 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.

The collected data is analyzed on an aggregate basis and tied only to anonymous transaction totals, so it is not associated with the personal information of our visitors. We may contract with third-party service providers at our discretion. We might also use the information provided to personalize your site experience and to allow us to deliver the type of content and product offerings in which you are most interested.
