INFORMATION GARDEN DISTRICT GATHERS AND TRACKS
Garden District gathers two types of information
about users:
- Information that users provide through
optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions
to receive our electronic newsletters, and to e-mail a friend;
- Information Garden District gathers through
aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views

The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
We offer the following free services,
which require some type of voluntary submission of personal information
by users:
1. E-mail list policy
We will offer a free electronic newsletter
to users. Garden District gathers the e-mail addresses of users who voluntarily
subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following
the link provided in every newsletter that points users to the subscription
management page.
2. "E-mail this to a friend" policy
Our site users can choose to electronically
forward a link, page, or documents to someone else by clicking "e-mail
this to a friend". The user must provide their e-mail address, as well
as that of the recipient. This information is used only in the case
of transmission errors and, of course, to let the recipient know who
sent the e-mail. The information is not used for any other purpose.
