Strict Privacy Standards
We adhere to a rigorous privacy policy, ensuring your information is secure and never sold. When you submit any forms on our website, you request additional details about our products. We use your contact information solely to respond to your inquiries and follow-up. Your mailing addresses and emails are also used to send the requested information and subsequent follow-ups. We may use software and tracking programs to understand our visitors and their needs better.
Removal of Information
You can request to be removed from our marketing database at any time and by written notice. We will respect and act on your request promptly.
Secure Storage
Your contact information is securely stored in a database protected by firewalls and advanced anti-hacking software.
Google Marketing Technology
Occasionally, we utilize Google marketing technology to promote our products. For a complete explanation, visit the Google marketing program. We do not retain any identifiable information about visitors that can be used. Google may show ads to previous website visitors across its network. You can opt out of this program via the Ads Preferences Manager or by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
Data Collection through Google and Facebook Tools
We collect data through Google and Facebook tools and scripts regarding your activities, which do not personally or directly identify you when you visit our website, our Advertisers’ websites, or the websites and online services where we display advertisements. This data may include the content you view, the date and time of your view, the products you purchase, or location information associated with your IP address. This information is used to serve more relevant advertisements (“Retargeting”). We also collect data on where you saw our ads and which ads you clicked on.
Google Analytics and Targeted Advertising
We use Google Analytics 3rd-party audience data such as age, gender, and interests to understand better our customers’ behavior and work with companies that collect information about your online activities to provide targeted advertising. This may include automated technologies like cookies and web beacons. You may opt out of the automated collection of information by third-party ad networks by visiting the consumer opt-out page for the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising or by managing your Google Display Network ads’ preferences.
Personal Data Collection and Usage
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form and the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string for spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year. If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies, which are discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we set up cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last two days, and screen options cookies last a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies will be removed. If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie indicating the post ID of the article will be saved in your browser, expiring after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves like the visitor has visited another website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Data Retention
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically. For registered users, we store personal information in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except username changes). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Data Rights
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you, except for data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
