Furniture Brands International Inc. and our brands,
which include but are not limited to Thomasville, Drexel Heritage, Broyhill,
Henredon, Hickory Chair, Labarge, Lane, Laneventure, Maitland-Smith and
Pearson, value our customers and respect your privacy. The purpose of this
privacy policy is to inform you what Personal 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 and correct the information. This policy applies
only to customers in the
United
States.
For purposes of this policy, “Personal Information”
means any information by which you can be personally identified, and includes
your name, your address, your telephone number, your e-mail address and the
like. Most of our websites do not
require that you submit Personal Information to us. There may be times (such as
when you purchase or order a product or register to participate in contests,
etc.) when we ask you to provide certain information about yourself, such as
your name, shipping/billing address, telephone number, email address, credit
card information, etc., and if you make a purchase, we may also maintain a
record of your product purchases. In addition, our web servers may
automatically recognize information regarding your domain name (or that of your
access provider) and e-mail address, and we may use this data for trends and
statistics, but individual users will remain anonymous, unless you voluntarily
tell us who you are.
In general, we use the Personal Information you
provide only for internal purposes, such as:
- for the
specific purpose for which it was volunteered (for example, to complete a
product purchase, to enter a contest, to answer an e-mail, etc.);
- to improve
the content, appearance and utility of our websites;
- to track our
visitors’ use of our websites for internal market research; and
- to notify
our visitors of updates to the websites or of new products or services.
From time to time, we may contract with companies or
persons to provide certain services including credit card processing, shipping,
data management, promotional services, etc. We may provide these providers with
the information needed for them to perform these services. From time to time we
might also establish a business relationship with other persons or entities
whom we believe trustworthy. In such cases we might rent, exchange, share
and/or cross–reference information, including contact information about you
that will enable such persons or entities to contact you regarding products and
services that may be of interest to you. In addition, we may use third-party
advertising companies to serve or track ads on our website and other websites.
These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email
address or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in
order to measure advertising effectiveness and to provide advertisements about
goods and services that may be of interest to you.
In addition, we may operate sweepstakes,
contests, raffles and similar promotions through our website that may require
online registration. We typically ask you for certain personally identifiable
information when you enter and, if applicable, win a sweepstake, contest,
raffle or similar promotion. We may share this personally identifiable
information with third party sponsors of such sweepstakes, contests, raffles
and promotions (irrespective of whether it is hosted by us), or otherwise in
accordance with the rules applicable to such sweepstakes, contest, raffle or
promotion. You should carefully review the rules of each sweepstake, contest,
raffle and promotion in which you participate through our website, as they may
contain additional important information about our or a sponsor’s use of your
personally identifiable information. Insofar as the terms and conditions of
such rules concerning the treatment of your personally identifiable information
conflict with this privacy statement, the terms and conditions of such rules
shall control.
