This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you when you visit Robertsmithmedia.com or use our other products and services that include an authorized link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”), how we use the information we collect, with whom we share it, how we protect it, and the choices we offer you regarding our collection and use of such information.

Information we collect

How we collect information about you

We may collect personal information about you, meaning information that can uniquely identify you, from various sources, including: directly from you when you use the Services, such as when you subscribe to a newsletter or fill out a form; social networks through which you may interact with us; our service providers and other third parties; and automatically when you use the Services.

Information we may collect

The personal information we collect about you may include, without limitation, your name, business name, business location, residence location, email address, and phone number.

Automatic collection

In addition, we may collect certain information by automated means, such as cookies. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. We may also use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) that collect information about the use of the Services and user traffic. We have implemented Remarketing with Google AdWords, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, and Demographics and Interests Reporting. The information we collect by automatic means may include, without limitation: IP address, the type of device, operating system, web browser, dates and time of use of the Services, and website navigation patterns. The information we collect automatically is statistical data and does not include personal information. It helps us to improve and personalize our Services, including by enabling us to identify and authenticate users.

Your choices

If you wish to adjust your cookies settings, most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to be notified when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable existing cookies. Please note, however, that without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of all the features of the Services.  You may also opt out of the aggregation and analysis of data collected about you on our website by Google Analytics by visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We also reserve the right to transfer your personal information to a buyer or other transferee in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, sale, or other transfer of some or all of our assets.  Should such a sale, merger, or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use your personal information in a manner that is consistent with our Privacy Policy.

Data security

Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by authorized individuals who are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. All transactions are processed through a gateway provider and are not stored or processed on our servers. We implement a variety of security measures when a user enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information. Please note that the electronic transmission of information is not completely secure. We cannot guarantee that the security measures we have in place to safeguard personal information will never be defeated or fail, or that such measures will always be sufficient or effective. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.
