Privacy Policies
The Western Cherokee Nation of Arkansas & Missouri
recognizes that respecting user privacy over the Internet is of utmost
importance. This privacy statement is designed to provide information about the
privacy and data collection practices for the site:
http://www.westerncherokee.net. The site is operated by the WCNAM.
Identifying Information
In general, you can visit the site without telling
us who you are or providing any information about yourself. In some areas of the
site, we ask you to provide information that will enable us to process an order,
offer services that require registration, assist you with technical support
issues or to follow up with you. Generally, the WCNAM requests identifying
information when you:
- Register on any of our web sites.
- Place an order.
- Provide feedback to an online survey or tell us about an idea or
suggestion.
- Request information from technical support or customer service.
In these instances, the WCNAM will ask for your name, address, e-mail address,
phone number and other appropriate information as needed to provide you with
these services. In all instances, if you receive a newsletter or other mailing
from us, you will always be able to "unsubscribe" to these mailings at any time.
What the WCNAM Will Do With Your Information
If you choose to give us personal information for any of the purposes above,
this information is retained by the WCNAM and will only be used by the WCNAM to
support your customer relationship with us. We will not add you to a mailing
list or newsletter without your registration for this service. We will only
contact you if further information is required from you to complete a service.
What Others May Do With Your Information
The WCNAM does not share,
rent or sell any personally identifying information provided through our site
(such as your name or email address) to any outside organization for use in its
marketing or solicitations. From time to time the WCNAM may use agents or
contractors who will have access to your personal information to perform
services for the WCNAM (such as DATABASE MAINTENANCE), however, they are
required by law to keep the information confidential and may not use it for any
purpose other than to carry out the services for the WCNAM.
The WCNAM On-line Store
The WCNAM On-line Store is designed to give
you options concerning the privacy of your identifying information. If you
choose, you can set up an account. This will allow you to have a customized
order page for express ordering and to view your purchasing history. To protect
your privacy, we have designed the sites to include certain steps to verify your
identity before granting you access or enabling you to make corrections in an
account. You will always have access to this account information and can view
it, update it or correct it at any time. To access your information, you will
need to use a password.
When purchasing products through the our web site, the order form will also
ask you to provide a daytime telephone number. However, the telephone number is
only used to quickly resolve questions relative to an order, such as to clarify
customer email addresses that are inactive, or entered incorrectly.
Third Party Links
WesternCherokee.net does provide links to other sites. Other Internet sites
and services have separate privacy and data collection practices. Once you leave
www.westerncherokee.net, the WCNAM cannot control, and has no responsibility
for, the privacy policies or data collection activities at another site.

"cookie". We do not use cookies to retrieve any personal information from your
