PRivacy policy

We are committed to respecting your privacy and recognizing your need for appropriate protection and management of personally identifiable information you share with us (the phrases “personally identifiable information” or “personal information” mean any information by which you can be identified, such as your name, address, telephone number, etc.). The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform you what personally identifiable information or personal information we may collect from you when you visit our websites, how we use such information, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to review and correct, the information. This policy applies only to users accessing our website from the United States.

As part of our commitment to your privacy, Earthworks supports and adheres 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 information with other marketers; and (3) honor customers’ requests not to receive mail, telephone, or other solicitations from Earthworks.

In general, you can visit many of our web pages without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. We may track the Internet domain address from which people visit us and analyze this data for trends and statistics, but individual users will remain anonymous unless you voluntarily tell us who you are. There may be times—such as when you purchase or order a product, subscribe to a service, register to receive catalogs, or participate in contests, sweepstakes, or promotions—when we ask you to provide certain information about yourself, such as your name, shipping or billing address, telephone number, email address, credit card information, birth date, gender, occupation, personal interests, etc. We also maintain a record of your online purchases. Whether or not to provide such information is completely your own choice. However, if you choose not to provide the information we request, you may be unable to purchase products or access certain services, offers, or content on our website.

We use the personally identifiable information you provide for internal purposes, such as confirming and tracking your order, subscription, or registration; analyzing trends and statistics; informing you of our products, services, and offers; and providing you with information from and about Earthworks. From time to time, we may establish business relationships with other persons or entities whom we believe to be trustworthy and whose privacy policies we believe are consistent with ours. These are known as our Select Partners. In such cases, we may share and cross-reference information, including personally identifiable information about you, that will enable such persons or entities to contact you regarding products and services that may be of interest to you.

To serve you better, we may combine information you give us online with information collected through other channels. We may also combine that information with publicly available information and information we receive from or cross-reference with our Select Partners and others. We use that combined information to enhance and personalize your experience, communicate with you about products and services that may be of interest, and for other promotional purposes.

We may contract with companies or individuals to provide certain services, including credit card processing, shipping, data management, and promotional services. These parties are referred to as our Service Providers. We provide our Service Providers with the information needed for them to perform these services and require them to confirm that their privacy practices are consistent with ours.

Although unlikely, we may disclose your personally identifiable information when we have reason to believe it is necessary to identify, contact, or take legal action against persons or entities who may be causing injury to you, to Earthworks, or to others. We may also disclose your personally identifiable information when we believe the law requires it.

We want to communicate with you only if you want to hear from us. If you prefer not to receive information from us or from our Select Partners, please let us know by calling or emailing us. When sending an email, please include your email address, full name, and specific details about what information you do not wish to receive. Requests to update or correct personal information may take up to 6–8 weeks to process.
