WHAT WE COLLECT
When you come to the DartmouthCoop.com website, we record your domain name, but not your email address. Therefore, we track site visits and activity on the site, while protecting your anonymity.
We are able to recognize you on a return visit to our website through the use of "cookies". Cookies are usually attached to your computer’s hard drive. (Your browser may accept an instruction to disable the cookies, if you so desire.) The information we derive from cookies allows us track shopping experiences and preferences, but does not connect that data to your specific name or email address. We also participate in Google Signals and this data is shared with Google.
When you make a purchase, we collect your name, address, telephone number, email address and credit card information so we can most effectively process your order and conduct any and all follow-up that your order may require. This information is stored in a secure environment off-site and is not accessible except by DartmouthCoop.com.
We may also use these data to provide information we think will interest you about programs and promotions produced by Dartmouth College, Dartmouth Co-op or DartmouthCoop.com or by one of our partners or affiliates. If contacted, you may Opt Out of any and all such future communications.

Third parties assist in maintaining and managing customer information, fulfilling promotions and providing communication services. We do not authorize these third parties to make use of your personal data in any situation, except for DartmouthCoop.com and Dartmouth Co-op related activities.
We offer products, services, promotions and contests directly or in conjunction with a number of partners. Data requested and provided voluntarily will be used to notify and fulfill promotional or contractual obligations. Our partners may, by contract, share your information as we share information on their customers.
If you do not want your personal information used in any of the programs described above, you may inform us directly and your information will not be shared or traded. Send an email to customer.service@DartmouthCoop.com and include the words "Opt Out" in the Subject box. We will follow your wishes.

HOW WE PROTECT CHILDREN
We abide by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and will not knowingly request personal information from anyone under the age of 13 without prior parental consent. If we become aware that we have information on or from children without having appropriate consents, we will take all necessary steps to remove the information from our files and to prevent any recurrence with the same person.
HOW YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND CHANGE YOUR STATUS WITH REGARD TO ANY LISTS OR SOLICITATIONS
DartmouthCoop.com wants to communicate with you only if you want to hear from us.

However, if you supply us with address information requested on our site, you may receive mailings from time to time with information on new products, services or upcoming promotions from us or from our partners. In every case, each communication, from whatever source, will allow you to Opt Out of that or all future communications.
