 Information We Collect About You

When you access the Site, the Company will learn certain information about you during your visit.  

 Information You Provide to Us. The Site provides various places for users to provide information. We collect information when users fill out forms on the Site, communicate with us via contact forms, respond to surveys, query searches, provide comments and  feedback, and when ordering a product or service on or through the Site.   We use the information you provide to us to deliver the requested product and/or service, to improve our overall performance, and to provide you with offers, promotions, and information.

 Information We Collect Through Automatic Data Collection Technology. When you use our site, we may use automatic data collection technologies (such as Google Analytics) to collect information about your computers, software, browsing actions, location, IP address, and other data made available by your connection to the Site.  That automatic data will not include personal information or become associated with your personal information unless you also voluntarily provide it (as described in the prior paragraph). We use the automatically gathered data to improve our Site and our service offerings.

 Use of Cookies and Pixels

 Like other websites, our Site utilizes a standard technology called “cookies” and server logs to collect information about how our Site is used.  Information gathered through cookies and server logs may include your IP address, the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our site, and the sites visited just before and just after our own, among other data that your computer device conveys anytime you connect to the Internet and any website.

 A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that website’s computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser’s preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.

 The Company reserves the right to use technological equivalents of cookies, including social media pixels. These pixels allow social media sites to track visitors to outside sites so as to tailor advertising messages users see while visiting that social media site. The Company reserves the right to use these pixels in compliance with the policies of the various social media sites.

Third Party Use of Cookies

 Some content or applications, including advertisements, on the Site are served by third-parties, including advertisers, ad networks and servers, content providers, and application providers. These third parties may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our site. The information they collect may be associated with your personal information or they may collect information, including personal information, about your online activities over time and across different sites and other online services. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content.

 We require only the information that is reasonably required to enter into a contract with you. We will not require you to provide consent for any unnecessary processing as a condition of entering into a contract with us.

 We are the data controllers as we are collecting and using your Personal Data.  We use trusted third parties as our data processors for technical and organizational purposes, including for payments and email marketing.
