Information Collection and Use

As used in this Privacy Policy, Personal Information means personally identifiable information such as your name, street address, e-mail address, telephone number, billing address, and credit card information. FTR will not sell, share, rent or offer any information (Non-Personal or Personal) to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement.

Non-Personal Information includes your browser type, domain name, IP address, and how you maneuvered through the FTR sites.

Personal Information is collected during the online checkout process and at several different points on the FTR sites, so that we can properly fulfill your orders and we can send you newsletters and coupons when requested. We collect Non-Personal Information so that we can identify general shopping and navigation patterns so we might better understand how to improve your experience with the FTR sites. FTR is the sole owner of all the information (both Personal and Non-Personal) collected from any of our sites.

By using any of our sites you’ve advised us that you agree with the terms of our current Privacy Policy as posted. If you do not agree with any term in this Policy, please do not provide any Personal Information on this site. Personal Information may be required on our sites or you may not be able to do certain things, like access particular areas of the site, participate in a loyalty program, request coupons or samples, shop online, or send us e-mail or testimonial.

Various Registrations

In order to receive certain updates or use certain features of our websites, you may be asked to first complete a registration form. During registration, you are asked to give your contact information (such as name, mailing address and e-mail address). This information is used to contact you about the services on the website in which you have expressed interest, such as newsletters and/or product coupons. We may also ask for preferences about the type of information you would like to receive to aid us in the tailoring of our content or outreach campaigns. An online survey may ask you for contact information (like e-mail or mailing address). We may use contact data from our surveys to send you information about NC and our activities. Other data collected by online surveys is used to educate us about any of your interests and/or concerns. This information is not shared with any other organizations. FTR operates contact lists to reach its consumers who request such information. Such services are run both by FTR and contracted vendors. These e-mail addresses, whether housed on FTR servers or those of our third-party contractor, are never shared with other organizations except as disclosed in this Privacy Policy.

You may opt-out of receiving future mailings; instructions are contained within each e-mail sent. See also the Opt-out section below.

Sharing

FTR may from time to time share overall demographic information with our suppliers, partners and / or advertisers.

FTR will not rent, sell or exchange any e-mail address we receive.
