HOW DOES FLUFFY FEATHER FARM WEBSITE RESPOND TO DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS?
Leading web browsers give users the ability to send a “Do Not Track” signal to websites, urging these sites not to employ online tracking methods for the user who sends the signal. Our approach to handling “Do Not Track” signal requests is straightforward: If you configure your web browser to send a “Do Not Track” signal and our website receives it, we have designed our site to comply with this request in terms of web data tracking. This compliance is facilitated by the use of a third-party DoNotTrack plugin on the WordPress platform. Although no third-party plugin can be completely foolproof, we have chosen the DoNotTrack plugin on WordPress because of its well-regarded status in the industry. While we have made our best effort in selecting this plugin, we cannot provide an absolute guarantee regarding the effectiveness of this plugin or any other third-party security tool. For any additional questions about our policy on “Do Not Track” signals, or if you think our plugin is not properly honoring a “Do Not Track” signal, please reach out to us using the contact information provided above.
WHAT PERSONAL AND NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION DOES FLUFFY FEATHER FARM GATHER?
We collect various types of information, categorized as “personal information” and “non-personal information.” Non-personal information is data that cannot be directly linked to a specific individual without combining it with more information. For instance, “Cow Owner” on its own is non-personal information, just as “125 Cow Owners in Illinois” would be non-personal information. In contrast, personal information is data that can be directly tied to a specific person without the need for additional details. This includes a first and last name, an email address, a mailing address, or a phone number. For example, “Betty Johnson, Cow Owner at 123 Any Street, Donovan, Illinois” is an instance of personal information.
