COLLECTION: COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION ("PII") BY RuralSurvival.info
General. RuralSurvival.info collects personally identifiable information ("PII" -- that is, information such as your full name, email address, mailing address or telephone number) only in order to create or enhance our relationship with you. When we collect PII from you, it is because you voluntarily submit the information to us in order to participate in activities like sweepstakes, contests, games, surveys, forums, subscription registrations, chats or bulletin boards, in connection with content or suggestions you submit to us or because you want us to furnish you with products, services or information. We may also obtain PII from third parties.
Cookies. Cookies are small bits of information that the RuralSurvival.info web sites place on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies remember information about your activities on our site(s) and enable RuralSurvival.info to make your visits to our site(s) more enjoyable. For example, cookies can store your password for easy log on to a site you have previously visited, can save your preferences for a personalized home page or can track the items you have placed in your "shopping cart" during a visit to our online store. Information about your activities on RuralSurvival.info sites and other non-personally identifiable information about you may also be used to limit the online ads you encounter to those we believe are consistent with your interests.
Third party advertisements displayed on RuralSurvival.info’s sites may also contain cookies set by Internet advertising companies or advertisers. RuralSurvival.info does not control these advertiser cookies and visitors to our web site(s) should check the privacy policy of the Internet advertising company or advertiser to see whether and how it uses cookies (see "Notice" below for more information on third party advertisements).
RuralSurvival.info may use cookies and similar tools to relate your use of our web site(s) to PII obtained from you or a reputable third party. For example, if you’ve asked us to provide you information about our upcoming products or promotions, cookie and/or click stream data about your activities on RuralSurvival.info web sites may allow us to limit the materials we provide you to items we think you will find interesting, based on your prior online activities and preferences. However, if RuralSurvival.info wishes to combine your personal and cookie and click stream information in this manner, we will obtain your express affirmative consent.
You can program your computer to warn you each time a cookie is being sent or to refuse cookies completely. However, without cookies you will not have access to certain features on RuralSurvival.info's web site(s), such as interactive "polling" and video player settings.
NOTICE: RuralSurvival.info Will Provide You with Notice About Its PII Collection Practices upon request.
When you voluntarily provide PII to RuralSurvival.info, we will attempt to ensure that you are informed about who is collecting the information, how and why the information is being collected and the types of uses RuralSurvival.info will make of the information.
At the time you provide your PII, RuralSurvival.info will normally notify you of your options regarding our use of PII, including whether we will share it with outside companies.

Sometimes we may collect personally identifiable information from consumers in manual format or off-line, such as a post card or subscription form. Providing detailed notice in those situations often proves impractical, so consumers will instead be provided with a short notice that describes how to obtain the full text of this Policy and other relevant information from us.
