Privacy Policy
Southern Homes and Gardens is committed to respecting your privacy and recognizing your need for appropriate protection and management of contact information you share with us (the phrase "contact information" means any information by which you can be contacted, such as your name, mailing address, email address, telephone number, etc.). The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform you what information we may collect from you, how we use such information, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to review, correct and opt out of our use of, the information. By using any of our web sites or sharing your contact information with us, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
As a part of our commitment to your privacy, Southern Homes and Gardens support and adhere to the guidelines and practices adopted by the Direct Marketing Association's "Privacy Promise to American Consumers." We have agreed to (1) provide customers with notice of their ability to opt out of information rental, sale, or exchange with other marketers; (2) honor customers' requests not to share their contact information with other marketers; and (3) honor customers' requests not to receive mail, telephone, or other solicitations from Southern Homes and Gardens.
Collecting Information About You There may be times (such as when you purchase or order a product, subscribe to a service, register to receive catalogs, or to participate in contests, sweepstakes or promotions, etc.) when we ask you to provide certain contact information about yourself, such as your name, shipping/billing address, telephone number, email address, credit card information, birth date, gender, occupation, personal interests, and other information. We may also maintain a record of your product purchases.
Providing such information is at your own discretion. Neglecting to provide the requested information may result in your inability to purchase products, access certain services, offers and content on our web sites. In addition, we may need to contact you via phone, email or mail to address questions/concerns specific to your online orders and/or requests.
In order to improve our products and services, we may track and analyze internet domain addresses and their data for preferences, trends, and site usage statistics - individual users will remain anonymous, unless personal contact information is submitted voluntarily.
Using Information About YouWe use your contact information for internal purposes only, such as:
Updating and Deleting Information About YouTo update, correct, or delete personal information that may be filed in our system due to previous purchases, request(s) for service(s) or for any other reason per your own discretion, such as name, email address, and/or mailing address, or to opt out of future marketing from Southern Homes and Gardens, simply call Customer Service at 334-387-0440 Monday through Saturday, 9:00am - 5:00pm (CST).

CookiesWhen you visit our web sites, we send one or more "cookies" to your computer or other device. We may also use cookies in emails that you receive from us. A "cookie" is a small data file that is placed on the hard drive of your computer when you visit a web site. A "session cookie" expires immediately when you end your session (i.e., close your browser). A "persistent cookie" stores information on the hard drive so when you end your session and return to the same web site at a later date the cookie information is still available. Generally, we use cookies to improve the quality of our service when you visit our web site and other web sites of interest to you. We also use cookies to remind us of who you are, tailor our products, services and advertising to suit the personal interests of you and others, estimate our audience size, assist our online merchants to track visits to and sales at our web sites and to process your order, track your status in our promotions, contests and sweepstakes, and/or analyze your visiting patterns.
SecurityWe maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect the confidentiality and security of information transmitted to us. To guard your information delivered to us electronically, our web sites use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL encrypts your credit card number, name and address so only we are able to decode your information. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your contact information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to or from our web sites, and you do so at your own risk.
We urge you to keep any password that you establish with us in a safe place and refrain from disclosing or sharing it with anyone. Logging off your Southern Homes and Gardens account at the end of each desired session in conjunction with closing your browser window will help ensure that unwanted person(s) cannot access, view or tamper with your account.
Protecting ChildrenSouthern Homes and Gardens takes special care to protect the safety and privacy of children. Our web sites are general audience sites. We do not permit anyone under the age of 13 to register with us. We also do not send email correspondence to anyone who tells us that they are under the age of 13.
To help protect children under the age of 13, Southern Homes and Gardens strongly urges parents/guardians to be actively involved in their children's online activities and exercise parental/guardian control over all web-based devices, web-filtering technology, overall access and etiquette to the Internet.
