Third-Party Websites

 

Our Website may include links to blogs, social media and third-party websites.  These third-party sites have their own privacy policies and terms of use and are not controlled by this Policy. You should carefully review any terms, conditions and policies of such third-party sites before visiting them or supplying them with any personal information.  If you follow a link on our Website to any third-party site, any information you provide to that site will be governed by its own terms of use and privacy policy and not this Policy.

We may use and disclose to third parties any such de-identified or aggregated data (including traffic and usage data that does not identify you personally) for any lawful purpose.

 

Tracking and “DO NOT TRACK”

 

Tracking involves the use of cookies, web beacons, or other embedded code or tracking technologies to collect, analyze and store information on a user’s behavior over time on multiple sites, including information on the sites visited, products viewed, products purchased and other online interactions.  Tracking information can be used to enable companies to make interest-based (behavioral) advertising available to users on multiple sites that they visit.

 

We may (or our third party service providers may on our behalf) collect Personal Information about your online activities over time and across third-party sites for tracking purposes when you use our Website.  However, we do not currently allow third parties to collect Personal Information through or using our Website that could be used by them to analyze and store information about your online activities over time and across third-party sites for their own tracking purposes (separate and apart from any services they provide to us in support of our permitted uses of your Personal Information as described in this Policy).

 

Our Website does not respond to any “do not track” signals sent by your computer, browser or mobile device, and if your computer, browser or mobile device sends a “do not track” signal to our Website, our Website will not treat you differently from users who do not send such signals.   For more information on how to disable certain tracking technologies, please visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out page at www.optout.networkadvertising.org/ and the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Assistance page at www.youradchoices.com/choices.

 

Use of Google Analytics

 

We use Google Analytics to track and analyze certain traffic and usage statistics regarding the use of our Website, such as the number of visitors to our Website, how visitors are navigating to our Website, visitors’ general geographic region information, how long individuals are visiting our Website, and information about the equipment individuals are using to access our Website (e.g., browser version and operating system).  Google Analytics may use a Google Analytics cookie as part of this service, and we may share certain Personal Information with Google Analytics as part of this service.  We use this traffic and usage information to gauge, internally, the effectiveness of our advertising efforts and to make improvements to our Website and our marketing and promotional efforts.

 

In addition, we may use the following Google Analytics Advertising Features:

           

• Remarketing
• Google Display Network Impression Reporting
• Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting
• Google Ads (as an integrated service with Google Analytics)

 

By enabling these features, we and certain third-party vendors use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) or other first-party identifiers, and third-party cookies (such as Google advertising cookies) or other third-party identifiers together for various purposes.  The information collected includes demographic information about our Website visitors and general information about our visitors’ interests.  We use the information collected through our use of the Google Analytics Advertising Features to track purchasing behavior, segment our audience and to better target our advertising and marketing efforts (for our own and others’ products and services) and allow third-party vendors to do the same, for example to (1) display targeted advertisements to individuals who viewed a product but did not ultimately proceed to purchase the product, (2) target visitors from a certain geographic region with certain ads in Google search results that have previously shown a high degree of success for consumers in that region, (3) advertise our products and services across other websites that you may visit, or (4) allow Google or other third-party vendors to show you ads on websites that you visit after using our Website or clicking on an offer or ad in one of our e-mails or in our Website.

 

For more information, please review the following:

 

• Information about Google’s use of cookies: https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies?hl=en-US
• Information about Google’s use of information from sites or apps that use Google’s services: www.policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

 

You can opt out of our use of certain Google Analytics features by updating the “Ads Settings” in your browser (www.adssettings.google.com/authenticated) or mobile device (www.support.google.com/ads/answer/1660762#mob), by enabling the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on in your browser (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout), or by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out page (www.optout.networkadvertising.org/).  Because those opt-out and preference control pages are specific to the individual browser used to visit it, and because those pages are not operated by us, we are unable to perform the opt-outs on your behalf.

 

Use of Facebook Business Tools

 

We may use various advertising services and business tools on Facebook in connection with our Website.  The services and tools we may use are summarized on Facebook’s website here: https://www.facebook.com/help/331509497253087.  In connection with our use of these services and tools, Facebook may use cookies, web beacons, and other storage technologies to collect or receive information from the Website and elsewhere on the Internet and use that information to provide measurement services and target ads to you and others.  One particular advertising service we use on Facebook is called Facebook Pixel.  This service helps us (1) measure and track the results of our advertising on Facebook, and (2) better target our advertisements on Facebook to new potential users.  In connection with this service we may provide your e-mail address to Facebook along with the e-mail addresses of our other users, and Facebook uses this information to find other Facebook users with similar demographics and interests as indicated in the profiles and activities on Facebook of our users generally, to help us better target our advertising efforts on Facebook to those other Facebook users.  You can opt out of certain Facebook advertising features by visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out page at www.optout.networkadvertising.org/ and the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Assistance page at www.youradchoices.com/choices or by adjusting the privacy settings in your Facebook profile.  Because those opt-outs, preference control pages and privacy settings are specific to the individual browser used to visit it or the individual Facebook profile, and because those opt-outs, preference control pages and privacy settings are not operated or controlled by us, we are unable to perform the opt-outs, set your preferences or adjust the privacy settings on your behalf.

Accessing and Correcting Your Information

 

You may send us an e-mail at info@industrialsun.com to request access to any Personal Information that you have provided to us, or to correct or delete that Personal Information.  For security reasons, we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity before we correct, update or delete any Personal Information you provide us.  We will evaluate such requests on a case-by-case basis.  In certain cases we cannot delete your Personal Information.  For example, we cannot continue to maintain your account and/or your subscriptions without retaining certain portions of your Personal Information, so a request to delete certain forms of Personal Information may require the deletion of your account and cessation of services to you.  We may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.
