To ensure that we provide you with the best possible experience, we will store, use, and share information about you in accordance with this Policy.

The information that you provide in each case will vary.  In some cases, you may be able to provide Personal Information via email or free text boxes, such as contacting the Company to request further information.  When providing your Personal Information, please provide only relevant information and do not provide unnecessary sensitive information, such as Social Security numbers, credit card information or other sensitive personal data.

Automated Information Collection

In addition to the information that you provide to us, we may also collect information about you during your visit to our Websites.  We collect this information using automated tools that are detailed below.  These tools may collect information about your behavior and your computer system, such as your internet address (IP Address), the pages you have viewed, and the actions you have taken while using the Websites.  Some of the tools we use to automatically collect information about you may include:

  1. Cookies.  A “cookie” is a small data file transmitted from a website to your device’s hard drive.  Cookies are usually defined in one of two ways, and we may use either (or both) of them:
    1. (1) session cookies, which do not stay on your device after you close your browser, and
    2. (2) persistent cookies, which remain on your device until you delete them or they expire. 

We use the following categories of cookies on our Websites.

  1. Strictly Necessary Cookies.  These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the Websites and use its features. Without these cookies, services you have requested cannot be provided.
  2. Performance Cookies.  These cookies collect anonymous information on how you use our Websites to help us understand how you arrive at our Websites, browse or use our Websites and highlight areas where we can improve, such as navigation.  The data stored by these cookies never shows personal details from which your individual identity can be established.
  3. Functionality Cookies.  These cookies remember choices you make such as the country from which you visit our Websites, your preferred language, and your search parameters.  This information can then be used to provide you with an experience more appropriate to your selections and to make your visits to our Websites more tailored to your preferences.  The information in these cookies may be anonymized.  These cookies cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Of course, if you do not wish to have cookies on your devices, you may turn them off at any time by modifying your internet browser’s settings.  However, by disabling cookies on your device, you may be prohibited from full use of the Websites’ features or lose access to some functionality.

  • Google Analytics.  One of our trusted third parties is Google Analytics.  The Websites sends aggregated, non-Personal Information to Google Analytics for the purpose of providing us with the ability to conduct technical and statistical analysis on the Websites’ performance.  For more information on how Google Analytics supports the Websites and uses information sent from the Websites, please review Google’s privacy policy available at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
  • Web Beacons.  A Web Beacon is an electronic image.  Web Beacons can track certain things from your computer and can report activity back to a web server allowing us to understand some of your behavior.  If you choose to receive emails from us, we may use Web Beacons to track your reaction to our emails.  We may also use them to track if you click on the links and at what time and date you do so.  Some of the third-party marketers we engage with may use Web Beacons to track your interaction with online advertising banners on our Websites.  This information is only collected in aggregate form and will not be linked to your Personal Information.  Please note that any image file on a webpage can act as a Web Beacon.
  • Embedded Web Links.  Links provided in our emails and, in some cases, on third-party websites may include tracking technology embedded in the link.  The tracking is accomplished through a redirection system.  The redirection system allows us to understand how the link is being used by email recipients.  Some of these links will enable us to identify that you have personally clicked on the link and this may be attached to the Personal Information that we hold about you.  This data is used to improve our service to you and to help us understand the performance of our marketing campaigns.
  • Third-party Websites and Services.  We work with a number of service providers of marketing communications technology.  These service providers may use various data collection methods to improve the performance of the marketing campaigns we are contracting them to provide.  The information collected can be gathered on our Websites and also on the websites where our marketing communications are appearing.  For example, we may collect data where our banner advertisements are displayed on third-party websites.

Your Choices and Selecting Your Privacy Preferences

We want to provide you with relevant information that you have requested.

If we provide subscription-based services, such as email newsletters, we will allow you to make choices about what information you provide at the point of information collection or at any time after you have received a communication from us while you are subscribed.  Transactional or service-oriented messages are usually excluded from such preferences, as such messages are required to respond to your requests or to provide goods and services, and are not intended for the purposes of marketing.

We will not intentionally send you email newsletters and marketing emails unless you consent to receive such marketing information.  After you request to receive these emails, you may opt out of them at any time by selecting the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of each email.  Please note that by opting out or unsubscribing you may affect other services you have requested we provide to you, in which email communication is a requirement of the service provided.

Any such communications you receive from us will be administered in accordance with your preferences and this Policy.
