This Privacy Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you when you visit all TeknoGet-owned websites and domains and the websites and domains of our parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, including TeknoGet.com, and TeknoGet.net; or use our mobile applications, or use our other products and services that include an authorized link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy describes (i) how we use the information we collect, (ii) with whom we share it, (iii) how we protect it, and (iv) the choices we offer you regarding our collection and use of such information. We are constantly working to improve our administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use any part of the Services.

 

1. Information We Collect

Where We Collect It From. We may collect personal information about you, meaning information that can uniquely identify you, from various sources, such as:

• Directly from you when you use the Services, such as when you register for an account, access certain features or content, or order products; and
• Our parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, service providers, business partners, and other third parties.

What We Collect. The personal information we collect about you may include, without limitation:

• Contact information, such as name, postal address, email address, and phone number;
• Demographic information, such as Social Security number or TIN, and postal code;
• Login information, such as username and password; and
• Payment and financial details, such as payment card number, expiration date, authentication code, billing address, and bank account number.

Automatic Collection. When you use the Services, we may also collect certain information by automated means, such as cookies and web beacons. A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to a visitor’s computer or other Internet-connected device to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to store information or settings in the browser. A “web beacon,” also known as an Internet tag, pixel tag, or clear GIF, is used to transmit information about actions of the user opening the page or email containing the beacon back to a web server. We may also use third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) that collect information about use of the Services and user traffic. The information we collect by automated means may include, without limitation:

• Information about the devices you use to access the Services (such as the IP address and the type of the device, operating system, and web browser);
• Dates, times, and duration of use of the Services (including whether you are a repeat or first-time visitor); and
• Information on actions taken when using the Services (such as page views, website navigation patterns and items added to cart but not ultimately purchased).

Statistical Information. The information we collect automatically is statistical data and may include personal information. It helps us to improve and personalize our Services, including by enabling us to identify and authenticate users.

 

2. How We Respond to “Do Not Track” Signals. A do not track signal (“DNT”) prevent web applications from tracking you.  You can learn more about DNT at https://allaboutdnt.com.

Your web browser may let you choose your preference as to whether you want to allow the collection of information about your online activities over time and across different websites or online services. At this time, the Services do not respond to the preferences you may have set in your web browser regarding such collection of your information, and the Services may continue to collect information in the manner described in this Privacy Policy.

 

3. Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies. We may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use the Services, such as your IP address, pages you visit, and when you view a page or open an email in which a tag is embedded. Some tracking technologies are served by third parties. These third parties may use this information to provide you with interest-based (behavioral) advertising or other targeted content and for other purposes. We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. The information practices of these third parties are governed by their own privacy policies and are not covered by this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about an advertisement or other targeted content, you should contact the third party directly.
