Privacy Policy


Our Commitment To Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. At NEWTREE, we value our consumer's privacy and have made it our policy to provide on-line content that requires minimal collection of information from our visitors. Furthermore, to better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our on-line information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.

This Privacy Policy Is For Our On-line Consumers
This Privacy Policy is for our consumers who visit our internet site. It does not apply to information which we may collect by means other than over the Internet and it does not apply to businesses which may use our site.

What our Privacy Policy Covers
This Privacy Policy covers any personal information that NEWTREE obtains from you when you use services on our site. This policy does not cover the practices of companies that NEWTREE does not own or control, or the actions of people that NEWTREE does not employ or manage.

Our Privacy Policy may change in the future. We invite you to check back periodically to see if we have made any changes. If we make any material changes, we will post a notice on our home page.

By using this site, you agree to the terms of our policy.

What Personal Information is Collected
Depending on how you use NEWTREE, we may ask you to share personal information with us. Whether you choose to give NEWTREE information is completely up to you, but keep in mind that if you withhold information, you may not be able to use some of our services.

When Personal Information is Collected
NEWTREE will ask you for information, including some personal information, if you use one of several services:

Becoming a registered user. In order to register, you need to share some personal information, such as your name and e-mail address. You do not have to be a registered user to visit NEWTREE.com's web pages. But, you will have to register if you want to place orders or make full use of our services.

Making a purchase. When you buy something on NEWTREE.com, you have to supply a billing address, phone number, shipping address, and credit card information. By making a purchase, you become a registered user of NEWTREE.com. If you change your mind about storing this information, you can amend or delete it by emailing us at info@newtre.com

Sweepstakes, Contests and Surveys. If you enter a sweepstakes or contest, or answer a survey, you will become a registered user (if you aren't one already). We may also ask you for some demographic information, such as your age. If you choose not to answer, you may not be able to participate in the sweepstakes, contest or survey.

How NEWTREE Protects Your Information
We realize that our customers trust us to protect their personal information. We take that task seriously. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information. For example:

We use industry-standard Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") authentication to guarantee the confidentiality of online transactions made on our site. SSL authentication and encryption of the information that you send to us over the Internet help protect your online transaction information from third party interception.

We never display your full credit card number once it has been entered. We will only reveal the last four digits of your credit card for verification purposes.

We urge you to protect your own privacy. We recommend that you do not share your password with anyone or share your password in an unsolicited phone call or e-mail.
Unfortunately, despite all of our efforts, there is always a risk that third parties may unlawfully intercept transmissions. This reality is true of all Internet use. As a result, we cannot ensure the security of any information you transmit, and you transmit all information at your own risk.

How NEWTREE Uses Your Personal Information
NEWTREE collects personal information primarily to make our services more rewarding for you to use. We usually use this information for internal purposes, such as studying our customers' preferences. We may also use your information to contact you for account and promotional purposes.

In the event that another company buys the assets or stock of NEWTREE.com, your personal information may then belong to another entity.

How to Avoid Receiving Newsletters and Other NEWTREE.com Materials
We use e-mail addresses to send out newsletters and other announcements with information about NEWTREE.com's new products, gifts and special features. When you register, you can choose not to receive these announcements by opting-out of delivery. If you receive an e-mail and want to avoid further messages, look at the end of the e-mail for instructions on how to remove yourself from the mailing list.

Who Views Your Personal Information
NEWTREE may share your personal information with companies that perform services for us, such as fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mails, analyzing customer data, providing marketing assistance, processing credit card payments, investigating fraudulent activity, conducting customer surveys, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not disclose your personally identifiable information for other purposes.

Personal information may be disclosed if required by law.
NEWTREE does not currently sell or license personal information. Before selling or licensing your personal information, we will post a notice in this Privacy Policy and on our home page.

At this time, NEWTREE does not share any personal information with its affiliates. It is possible that this policy will change in the future. If we do decide to share information with our affiliates, we will post a notice in this Privacy Policy and on our home page.
