Your privacy is important to Howard Johnson's Enterprises, Inc. (HJE) and your trust is the cornerstone of our relationship. We understand that you have entrusted us with your private financial information and we do everything we can to maintain that trust. That is why we work diligently to safeguard your privacy and the information you provide us. We are providing this explanation of our information practices so you can make an informed choice about whether you want to provide HJE with personally-identifiable information. By using www.hjefertilizer.com (the "Site"), you are agreeing to the terms of HJE's Privacy and Security Policy and it's Legal Statement. HJE reserves the right to modify these policies and related business practices at any time.

Visitors to our Site have the opportunity to become HJE customers. When you register on our Site, you will be asked to provide certain information that can identify you personally. This information includes, but is not limited to, your name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, credit card information, and the details of your orders. This information allows HJE to communicate with you in the event of a question about your order.

At HJE, the information you provide us is kept in the strictest of confidence. We do not sell your personal information to anyone. You are opted-out from sharing personal information with third parties, except as permitted by law. HJE may disclose your personal information if required by law or if needed to assist with law enforcement or administrative investigations. The law allows you to "opt out" of certain kinds of information sharing with third parties. HJE does not share personal information about you with any third parties that triggers this opt-out provision. This means there's nothing more you need to do to prevent this sharing of information with nonaffiliated third parties.

HJE takes commercially reasonable precautions to keep all information obtained from our online visitors secure against unauthorized access and use and we periodically review our security measures. We restrict access to your personal information to our employees and agents for business purposes only. All employees are required to protect your personal information. Companies we hire to provide support services are not allowed to use your personal information for their own purposes; they are allowed use only for performance of specific services requested. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, you acknowledge and agree that; there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control, that the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and HJE through the Site cannot be guaranteed, and that any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party.

Our Site protects your personal information by using Secure Socket Layer protocol. The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol is intended to protect the privacy of your information. This proven security software encrypts information before it is transmitted through the Internet to prevent information from being recognized or altered while en route. You'll know you're in a secure environment by noting a solid "lock" in the lower right corner of Microsoft Internet Explorer . To ensure proper security, all Internet browsers should use 128-bit SSL security.

Another part of ensuring a secure session is done through the use of Certificates. Certificates help prevent a person from using a phony key to impersonate someone else and are used to make you aware of the use of Public Key Encryption. Certificates contain a public key, expiration date, the name of the certifying authority, a serial number and other information. Most importantly, the certificate contains the digital signature of the issuer for authentication. Certificates are issued by a third party. You can view our certificate information in Microsoft Internet Explorer by double clicking on the padlock graphic in the lower right hand corner of the browser's screen on a secure Web page.

If you believe that personal information we have collected about you is being used in any manner other than as we have described it in this notice, please contact HJE's customer service department by phone. You can call 1-414-276-1505 between 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. (Central Time) Monday-Friday, excluding holidays, for assistance. The security of your personal information is important to us, and we will make every effort to address your concerns.
