We may collect Personal Data, such as your name, address, phone number, email address, fax number and business contact information, when you communicate with us or submit information to us.

We may collect certain Personal Data using cookies and other technologies, such as web beacons, device IDs, geolocation, HTML5 local storage, and IP addresses. We specifically use browser cookies for different purposes, including cookies that are strictly necessary for functionality and cookies that are used for personalization and performance/analytics. When you visit the Site, we may also automatically collect certain data about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, and time zone. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. Our "Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies" section contains more information and options to control or opt-out of certain data collection or uses.

  • When we collect data from third parties or publicly-available sources. We may obtain certain data about you from third-party sources to help us provide and improve the services. We may combine your Personal Data with data we obtain from our services, other users, or third parties to enhance your experience and improve the services.

USE OF COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to improve user experience, for performance and analytics, and to improve our content, products, and services. We also use cookies and similar technologies for purposes of marketing and advertising.

A "cookie" is a small text file that a web server stores in browser software. A browser sends cookies to a server when the browser makes a connection to the server (for example, when requesting a web page from the same domain that created the cookie). The purpose of cookies is to remember the browser over time and distinguish one browser instance (or user) from all others. Some cookies and other technologies may serve to track Personal Data previously entered by a web user on our Site. Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them, and how to remove them. Cookies can remember login information, preferences, and similar information.

Cookies, as well as other tracking technologies, such as HTML5 local storage, and Local Shared Objects, and similar mechanisms, may record information such as a unique identifier, information you enter in a form, IP address, and other categories of data.

We may also use web beacons or “pixels,” and in certain circumstances may collect IP address, screen resolution and browser software and operating system types, clickstream patterns, dates and times that our Site is accessed, and other categories of data.

If you want to block the use and saving of cookies from the Site on to the computers’ hard drive, you should take the necessary steps within your web browser’s settings to block all cookies from the Site and its external serving vendors, or use the cookie control system, if available upon first visit. Please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, certain parts of our Site may not function correctly. For information on how to disable cookies, refer to your browser’s documentation.

Our Site may use the following technologies to implement cookies and pixels:

  • Google Analytics. In order to ensure that the content from the Site remains up to date, user-oriented and comprehensive, this website employs Google Analytics, a web-analysis tool from Google Inc. ("Google") that enables us to optimize our Site for you. Google Analytics uses cookies that track your preferences during your visit to our websites. This allows us to simplify navigation, for example, thereby helping us to make the Site more user-friendly. The information that is generated in this process (including the IP address) is anonymized, making personal identification impossible. An evaluation for reporting purposes is carried out only after the anonymization process. The data generated by this cookie is usually transferred and stored on a server in the USA. As a user of our websites, you always have the option of disabling cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers allow cookies as a default setting. Should you change this setting, this may disrupt certain functions of our websites. Furthermore, you can prevent Google’s acquisition and processing of the information that is generated by the cookie and concerns your activity on the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing a browser plug-in. In this process, your IP address is in a first step reduced to countries in the European Union or other countries in the European Economic Community. The actual link to the tool is: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=us. Further information on the terms of use and the privacy options of Google are available on: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html.
  • Google Adwords. As an AdWords customer, the Site moreover uses Google conversion tracking by Google on some pages. This means that Google AdWords places a cookie on your computer (a "conversion cookie") if you have accessed our webpage via a Google ad. These cookies become invalid after 30 days. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that someone has clicked on an ad and been directed to our page as a result thereof. Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected with the help of the conversion cookie allows us to prepare conversion statistics to optimize our services. AdWords customers know, for instance, the total number of customers who have clicked on their ad and been redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. But they do not receive any information by which users can be personally identified. If you do not want to participate in the tracking, you can prevent the placement of the necessary cookie – for instance through a browser setting that deactivates the automatic placement of cookies in general. You can also deactivate conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain googleadservices.com.
    If you do not wish to receive any interest-based advertising, you can deactivate Google’s use of cookies for these purposes by going to https://www.google.com/settings/ads Alternatively, users can deactivate cookies from third-party providers by going to the network advertising initiative’s deactivation page at: https://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1.
  • HubSpot. The Site uses HubSpot technology on some pages. With this technology, users who submit a contact us form, in interest in what we have to offer are tracked in HubSpot. We use this data to provide a tailored response to the user’s request for information, request for a product demo, or other comments. You can deactivate HubSpot cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the domains hubspot.com and hsforms.com.

Please note that Google and HubSpot have their own privacy policies that are independent from ours. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies and procedures. Before using our website, please inform yourself about Google's privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/privacy.html and HubSpot's data policy at: https://legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy.

DO-NOT-TRACK

Do-Not-Track is a public-private initiative that has developed a "flag" or signal that an Internet user may activate in the user's browser software to notify websites that the user does not wish to be "tracked" by third-parties as defined by the initiative. The online community has not agreed on what actions, if any, should be taken by the websites that receive the "do not track" signal, and therefore Do-Not-Track is not yet standardized. Please note that the Site does not alter its behavior or use practices when we receive a Do-Not-Track signal from your browser.
