WHAT WE COLLECT

We get information about you in a range of ways.

Information You Give Us.

We collect your name, postal address, email address, phone number, username, password, demographic information (such as your gender and occupation), as well as other information you directly give us when you register for the Services (“Account Information”).

We also process financial information such as your credit card when you order Services to facilitate the processing of payments (“Payment Information”).

Information Automatically Collected.

We automatically log information about you, your computer, or your mobile device when you visit the Website or access the Services (“Non-Personal Information”). For example, when visiting the Website, we log your computer operating system type, browser type, browser language, pages you viewed, how long you spent on a page, access times, and information about your use of and actions on the Website. If you use a mobile device to access the Services, we may collect device information (such as your mobile device ID, model, and manufacturer), operating system, version information, and IP address.

Information We Get From Others.

We may get information about you from other sources. We may add this to information we get from the Website or your use of the Services. We may use third-party service providers to provide anonymous site metrics and other analytics services. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to collect information, such as your IP address, identifiers associated with your device, other applications on your device, the browsers you use to access our Services, webpages viewed, time spent on webpages, links clicked, and conversion information (e.g., transactions entered into). We may use this information and third-party service providers on our behalf to analyze and track usage of our and better understand how you use our Services. The third-party service providers we engage are bound by confidentiality obligations and other restrictions concerning their use and collection of your information.

Cookies and Web Beacons.

We may use the standard cookie feature of major browser applications and third-party providers or employ internally developed cookies and tracking codes that allow Porteus & Son Builders to store a small piece of data on a User’s computer (or any other device used to access the Services, including a mobile device) about the User’s use of the Site. It’s a text-only string of information that allows us to distinguish you from other Users, but not in a personally identifiable way. We capture personally identifiable information in cookies or use cookies to mine personally identifiable information. If you do not want us to use cookies, disable them in your browser. If you choose to do so, you may still use the Site, but your ability to use some of the areas and features of the Site may be limited.

We employ technologies such as clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons), tags, and scripts to help us better manage content by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track online usage metrics. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer or device, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We do tie the information gathered by clear gifs to personally identifiable information.

USE OF INFORMATION

We use your Account Information and Payment Information to provide our Services to you.

We use your Account Information to respond to comments and questions and provide customer service.

We use your Account Information to send information, including confirmations, invoices, technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages.

We use your Account Information to provide and deliver products and services customers request.

We may use your email to communicate about promotions, upcoming events, and other news about products and services offered by us and our selected partners.

We may use your Account Information to link or combine user information with other personally identifiable information.

INFORMATION CHOICES AND CHANGES

You may access, review, change, delete, and update the Account Information and Payment Information you have submitted to us at any time via your account on the Website. You may close or request that we delete your Porteus & Son account at any time by emailing us at info@porteusandson.com.

You may also request that we limit the use or disclosure of personal information by emailing us at info@porteusandson.com.

Our marketing emails tell you how to “opt out.” If you opt-out, we may still send you non-marketing emails. Non-marketing emails include emails about your accounts and our business dealings with you.

You can typically remove and reject cookies from the Website with your browser settings. Many browsers are set to accept cookies until you change your settings. If you withdraw or reject our cookies, it could affect how the Website works for you.

While we will use commercially reasonable efforts to remove your personally identifiable information, some information will be retained. For example, some information may be kept on a backup server or media, which is necessary to help ensure the continued availability of the Services. We will also retain personally identifiable information when it is required to provide the Services, comply with a legal obligation, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this Privacy Policy.

LINKS

The Services may contain references, frames, links, and other functionality that connect with certain internet websites, applications or resources, or social media platforms or services maintained by third parties ("Links"). These links are provided for your convenience only. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible or liable for (i) the availability or accuracy of such websites or resources or (ii) the content, features, products, services, privacy policies, or terms of service on or available from such websites or resources. Links to such websites or resources do not imply any endorsement by us of such websites or resources, the content, products, or services available from such websites or resources, or their owners, sponsors, or operators.

This Privacy Policy applies only to the Services. The Services may contain links to other websites not operated or controlled by us (“Third Party Sites”). The Privacy Policy does not apply to Third Party Sites.

You acknowledge sole responsibility for and assume all risk arising from your use of any such websites or resources or the content, products, or services on or available from such websites or resources, privacy policies, or terms of service of any other third party, including, without limitation, any Social Networking Services.

SECURITY

We are very serious about keeping your personally identifiable information safe. We provide reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect the personally identifiable information submitted to us during transmission and upon receipt. However, the Internet is not a secure environment, and we do not warrant that personally identifiable information may not be accessed, copied, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach despite the security protections undertaken by us. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personally identifiable information. No data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed 100% secure. If you have any questions about security on the Website and the Services, you can email us at info@porteusandson.com.
