The Information Minnesota T's Collects
In general, you can browse this Site without telling Minnesota T's who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. Minnesota T's, however, collects your IP address. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers connected to the Internet to identify your computer so that data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you. Minnesota T's uses your IP address to, among other things,: (1) help diagnose problems with Minnesota T's’ server; administer the Site; measure the use of the Site; improve the content of the Site; (2) identify visitors' domain names, the type of web browsers used, the pages viewed, the web sites from which a visitor found this Site, the search terms and search engines used to find this Site; and (3) gather other web analytics information relating to visitors’ use and navigation of the Site. This information does not identify you personally. On occasion Minnesota T's may aggregate this data with data on the pages visited by other users to track overall visitor traffic patterns and provide this aggregate information to vendors, potential advertisers, business partners, news agencies, or other parties to demonstrate the amount of interest in the Site and to help Minnesota T's plan for technical infrastructure requirements.

Minnesota T's recognizes that you have a choice to refuse cookies. However, should you decide not to accept cookies from the Site, you will limit the functionality Minnesota T's can provide when you visit the Site. View your browser's help file for more information on cookies.
Minnesota T's receives and may store information you enter on the Site or give to our Site in any other way. For example, Minnesota T's collects information you provide when you place an order or register to create an account on the Site. The information may include, without limitation, your first and last name, mailing address, e mail address, telephone and facsimile numbers, credit card information, and other personal identifying information. If you choose to share any personal information with Minnesota T's, you will see that the amount and type of personal information Minnesota T's requests depends on how you use the Site. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. Depending upon the activity, some of the information Minnesota T's asks you to provide is identified as mandatory and some is voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory information with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
The Way Minnesota T's Uses Personal Information
Minnesota T's may use your personal information for particular activities, including, without limitation, processing your order; credit card processing; collections; returns management; manufacturing; storage; shipping; delivery; fulfillment; customer service; marketing and research; providing product, promotional and other information to you; and to contact you regarding administrative notices. Minnesota T's may share this information with Minnesota T's’ affiliates, dealers or other business partners in connection with any of the foregoing activities. Minnesota T's’ affiliates, dealers or other business partners may use this information for marketing and solicitation purposes. Minnesota T's must release your credit card information to credit card authorization service providers and Minnesota T's’ credit card-acquiring (merchant) bank to process your payment for products or services purchased on this Site and to facilitate returns or refunds. Except as described above, Minnesota T's will not give or sell your personal information to any other company for its use in marketing or solicitation.
Minnesota T's may disclose personal information in any of the following circumstances: (1) in response to a subpoena, search warrant, court order, or other legal process or request, or as may otherwise be required by applicable law or regulation; (2) to protect and defend Minnesota T's’ rights or property or those of its affiliates, dealers, business partners, or others; or (3) as Minnesota T's, in its sole discretion, believes is appropriate under exigent circumstances in response to a perceived threat to the personal safety, property, or rights of any other person or organization.
In addition, since Minnesota T's’ database is a business asset, in the event Minnesota T's is reorganized or is sold to or merged with another company, you consent to the sale, assignment, or transfer of your personal information to a purchaser of all or substantially all of Minnesota T's’ business assets, or to an affiliate, as applicable.
Minnesota T's will never request your password, user name, credit card information or other personal information through e-mail. This practice, called “phishing,” is a scam designed to steal your personal information. If you receive an e-mail that looks like it is from Minnesota T's asking you for your personal information, do not respond.
