What information do we collect?
When you access certain areas of our Website that relate to purchasing a product, obtaining a quote, requesting product information, or completing a contact form, we may collect personally identifiable information, such as your name, organization name, telephone number, e-mail address, and billing/shipping addresses. Like many websites, we use “cookies,” and may use analytics, and other tracking technologies to enhance your experience and gather information about visitors and visits to our websites. Please refer to the Do we use cookies? section below for information about cookies and how we use them.
If you supply an email address to us, we reserve the right to contact you for any lawful purpose, including marketing new products or services and the operation of our site. However, we will never sell your email address or provide it to others without your prior permission or an order from a court of competent jurisdiction. All of our marketing emails include a link to unsubscribe from future marketing emails. Once you unsubscribe (after reasonable processing time), you will no longer receive future marketing emails. It's important to note that transaction emails are separate from and not related to marketing emails. If you place an order or request a quote, you will receive emails relating to your order or quote request even if you've unsubscribed from marketing emails.
We monitor website traffic using analytics tools, such as those offered by Google, and have enabled features that allow us to collect anonymous demographic data, such as data made available via the DoubleClick cookie. We make no attempt to merge personally identifiable information with non-personally identifiable information under any circumstances, and that applies to data collected from any source, such as the demographic data available by the DoubleClick cookie. We use demographic and interest reporting data to evaluate whether the content of our website is attracting and effectively serving our target audience. If you choose, you may opt out of providing this anonymous demographic information using tools that Google makes available, such as Google’s currently available opt outs for the web.
