How Your Information Is Collected
Personally Identifiable Information:You are not required to provide your personally identifiable information when you visit the Site. However, in order to obtain information, including quotes from Security Systems providers ("Vendors/Dealers"), you must fill out and submit a quote request form containing personally identifiable information including without limitation your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, and information pertaining to your Security Systems needs (a "Quote Request").
Passive Information: The Site automatically collects information and may also customize your visit through technical means, including the following:
Cookies: Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer's hard drive by our computers (or servers) to identify your computer.
IP Address Logs: We also log Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, i.e., the location of your computer on the Internet.
We use cookies to recognize you when you visit the Site, to personalize your experience and generally serve you better. The information collected by these technical means is aggregated and anonymous and shall be referred to in this Privacy Policy as "Usage Data." You can disable cookies or otherwise manage them through tools provided with your browser and/or with third-party software packages.
How Your Information Is Used
Our Use of Your Information: The information in your Quote Request and Usage Data may be stored on our servers, our computers, or as cookies on your computer. This information may be used to compile aggregate data that is not personally identifiable and may be used internally or shared with third parties in an aggregate, non-identifiable format.
We may also use the information you provide in your Quote Request to (i) contact you about your satisfaction with the Site, whether you obtained Security Systems Services from any Vendor through the Site, the identity of any such Vendor, and your satisfaction with the Security Systems Services provided by such Vendor, and (ii) to send you information and promotional messages about our products and services, or the products or services that we offer on this Site or on our other websites.
Third Party Use of Your Information: We will not share any of the personally identifiable information provided in a Quote Request with any third party except in the following circumstances:
If you submit a Quote Request, we will share your information with selected Vendors who may be able to provide Security Systems to you, and will provide you with the contact information for these Vendors. Although Vendors have agreed to protect your personally identifiable information pursuant to privacy standards which are at least as restrictive as the terms of this Privacy Policy, we do not and cannot control the use of your information after it is transmitted to the Vendor and cannot guarantee that the Vendor will not disclose, sell or use your information in a manner that you do not anticipate. You therefore must contact the Vendor if you have any questions or concerns regarding their use of your information.
Your Quote Request may include an opportunity to participate in our direct marketing program. If you opt for our direct marketing program, we will share your information with third-party marketers for purposes of marketing and advertising their products and services to you. After we share your information with such third-party marketers, we do not and cannot control the third-party marketers’ subsequent use or disclosure of your information and cannot guarantee that they will not disclose, sell or use your information in a manner that you do not anticipate. You therefore must contact the third-party marketers if you have any questions or concerns regarding their use of your information.
If we receive a subpoena or other request to disclose your information in accordance with applicable laws, rules or regulations, we will disclose your information in accordance therewith.
If we receive an inquiry from a bona-fide rights owner in connection with allegations of infringement of copyright or other proprietary rights arising from information you have submitted on the Site or otherwise provided to us, we will disclose your information in response to any such inquiries.
If we are acquired by, merge with, or sell all or substantially all of our assets to a third party, we will disclose and/or transfer your information to that third party.
If you wish to opt-out of receiving communications from Vendors or third-party marketers with whom we have shared your information, you must contact them directly. You must consult those parties' privacy policies to learn more about ways to opt-out of receiving communications from them.
