Privacy Policy

YOUR PRIVACY IS IMPORTANT TO GATE-BUILDERS.

PLEASE READ OUR PRIVACY POLICY THAT COVERS HOW WE COLLECT, USE, DISCLOSE, TRANSFER, AND STORE YOUR INFORMATION.

Collection and Use of Personal Information

You may be asked to provide your personal information anytime you are in contact with Gate-Builders. We may also combine it with other information to provide and improve our products, services, content, and advertising.

Here are some examples of the types of personal information Gate-Builders may collect and how we may use it.

What Personal Information we Collect

When you create a Gate-Builders ID, register your products, purchase a product, we may collect a variety of information, including your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, contact preferences, and credit card information.

How we Use your Personal Information

The personal information we collect allows us to keep you posted on Gate-Builders’s latest product announcements.

We also use personal information to help us develop, deliver, and improve our products, services, content, and advertising.

We may also use personal information for internal purposes such as auditing, analysis, and research to improve Gate-Builders’s products, services, and customer communications.

Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information

We also collect non-personal information − data in a form that does not permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. The following are some examples of non-personal information that we collect and how we may use it:

We also may collect information regarding customer activities on our website. This information is aggregated and used to help us provide more useful information to our customers and to understand which parts of our website, products, and services are of most interest. Aggregated data is considered non-personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

If we do combine non-personal information with personal information the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.

Cookies and other Technologies

Gate-Builders’ website, online services, interactive applications, email messages, and advertisements may use “cookies” or other technologies such as pixel tags. These technologies help us better understand user behavior, tell us which parts of our website people have visited, and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and web searches. We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal information. To the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.

Gate-Builders and our partners also use cookies and other technologies to remember personal information when you use our website, online services, and applications.

Check with your provider to find out how to disable cookies with your selected browser. Please note that certain features of the Gate-Builders website may not be available once cookies are disabled.

As is true of most websites, we gather some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type and language, Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.

We use this information to understand and analyze trends, administer the site, learn about user behavior on the site, and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Gate-Builders may use this information in our marketing and advertising services.

In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the Gate-Builders website. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in the email messages.

Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in format customers can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers. 

Service Providers

Gate-Builders shares personal information with companies who provide services such as information processing, fulfilling customer orders, delivering products to you, managing and enhancing customer data, providing customer service. These companies are obligated to protect your information.

Others

It may be necessary − by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence − for Gate-Builders to disclose your personal information. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate.

We may also disclose information about you if we determine that disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or protect our operations or users. Additionally, in the event of a reorganization, merger, or sale we may transfer any and all personal information we collect to the relevant third party.

Protection of Personal Information

Gate-Builders takes precautions — including administrative, technical, and physical measures — to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

Gate-Builders online services such as the Gate-Builders Online Store use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption on all web pages where personal information is collected. To make purchases from these services, you must use an SSL-enabled browser such as Safari, Firefox, or Internet Explorer. Doing so protects the confidentiality of your personal information while it’s transmitted over the Internet.

Integrity and Retention of Personal Information

Gate-Builders makes it easy for you to keep your personal information accurate, complete, and up to date. We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Children

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected the personal information of a child under 13 we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible.
