In addition to collecting Personal Information, we may collect information that does not identify you and is not associated with your Personal Information.  We may also de-identify, anonymize, or aggregate information so it no longer identifies you.

Analysis of Website Performance: We may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to our Website, the number of visitors to each page of our Website, and the domain names of our visitors’ Internet service providers. It is important to note that no Personal Information is available or used in this process.

Customer Research: In order to better serve and understand the needs of our Website’s users, we may conduct research on its customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the Personal Information and other information provided to us.

This aggregate information does not identify you personally. GPRS may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.

We may de-identify and/or aggregate Personal Information, and we take reasonable measures to ensure such information cannot reasonably be used to infer information about, or otherwise be linked to, a particular consumer or household.

Publicly Available Information

When you use certain Website services, the information you share is visible to other users, depending on the specific service.

To learn more about Cookies and Tracking Technologies, review our Cookie Notice.

6. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

We aim to protect your Personal Information through a system of organizational and technical security measures. We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any Personal Information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Information, transmission of Personal Information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the Services within a secure environment. In the event that we are required by law to inform you of a breach of your Personal Data we may notify you electronically, in writing, or by telephone, if permitted to do so by law.

Our Website may permit you to create an account.  When you do you will be prompted to create a password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, and you are responsible for any access to or use of your account by someone else that has obtained your password, whether or not such access or use has been authorized by you.  You should notify us of any unauthorized use of your password or account by using one of the methods listed below under “Contact Us.”

7. YOUR RIGHTS RELATED TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Depending on where the individual lives and the types of Personal Information at issue, the individual may have certain rights with respect to their Personal Information. For example, under local applicable laws, including certain states in the United States the individual may have the rights listed below. Please note that many of these rights are subject to exceptions and limitations.

• Right to a Copy: You have the right to obtain a copy of your Personal Information that you have previously provided to us in a portable and readily usable (if technically feasible) format.
• Right to Delete: You may request that we delete the Personal Information we have collected from you.
• Opt Out of “Sale,” “Shares,” and Targeted Advertising: Depending on the state you reside in, website users have the right to opt out of the “sale” of your data and the disclosure of your data for cross-context behavioral advertising/targeted advertising (known as a “share” in California). We also honor alternative opt out signals, such as the GPC. We process opt out preference signals in a frictionless manner. Please note that we do not sell Personal Information for monetary consideration.

If you choose to assert any of these rights under applicable law, we will respond within the time period prescribed by such law. In some cases, we may limit or deny your requests to access or delete your information. This may occur because the law permits or requires us to do so, or if we are unable to adequately verify your identity.

Please note that we must be able to verify your identity to make sure you are the person about whom we have collected Personal Information or an authorized representative. Depending on the type of request, we may conduct the verification process by email or phone using information that matches our records. The information you must provide as part of the verification process may include: name, contact information (such as email address or phone number), relationship with us, and residency. We may also ask for additional information as needed based on your relationship with us.

You may also designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf to access or delete your Personal Information. To do so, you must (1) provide that authorized agent written and signed permission to submit such request, and (2) verify your own identity directly with us. Please note, we may deny a request from an authorized agent that does not submit proof that they have been authorized to submit such a request.

To submit a request to exercise any such rights (if they apply to you), please send us an email at privacy@gprsinc.com.

Marketing.  You may opt out from receiving marketing-related communications from us on a going-forward basis by contacting us through the information provided in this Notice or by using the unsubscribe mechanism contained in each email . We will try to comply with your request(s) as soon as reasonably practicable. Please note that if you opt out of receiving marketing-related emails from us, we may still send you important administrative messages, from which you cannot opt out.

Location Information. You can choose whether or not to allow the Website to collect and use real-time information about your device's location through your device's privacy settings or through our CMP.

Deactivation.  You can deactivate your account at any time by contacting us at privacy@gprsinc.com However, you will not be able to access any part of the Services that are for registered users only once your Account is deactivated. Please note that even if you request deactivation of your account, it may take some time to fulfill this request.

Account Changes. If you have an Account with us, you may also make certain changes directly through your Account profile page. Please note that changes you make on your Account profile page may not always be reflected immediately.

Although our active systems and databases will reflect updates that have been requested and processed, we may retain all Personal Information for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, analytics, and satisfaction of other legal obligations we reasonably believe applicable.

We may need to retain certain information for record keeping purposes and/or to complete any transactions that you began prior to requesting a change or deletion. There may also be residual information that will remain within our databases and other records, which will not be removed. We may not always be able to fully address your request, for example if it would impact the duty of confidentiality we owe to others, or if we are legally entitled to deal with the request in a different way.

8. AGE RESTRICTIONS

GPRS does not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children under the age of 13. GPRS encourages parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce this Notice by instructing their children never to provide Personal Information on this (or any) Website without parental permission. If a parent or guardian believes that GPRS has Personal Information of a child under the age of 13 in its database, please contact marketing@gprsinc.com and GPRS will take all reasonable efforts to promptly remove such information from our records and unsubscribe them from any marketing lists.

9. THIRD PARTIES AND LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

Our Services may contain links to third party websites or apps. If you click on one of these links, please note that each one will have its own Notice. We do not control these websites/apps and are not responsible for those policies. When you leave the Website, we encourage you to read the Notice of every website you visit.

We are not responsible for the privacy and data security practices of other organizations, such as Facebook, Instagram, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Twitter or any other app developer, app provider, social media platform provider, operating system provider, wireless service provider or device manufacturer. Please read their privacy policies and consider customized settings on your browser or through your mobile phone to limit disclosure of certain information, such as location data.

Any Personal Information that you provide through these third-party websites, mobile applications, or social platforms will be subject to the Notice of its operator, and not this Notice.

10. DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS

We do not monitor or follow “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals because there is no standard interpretation or practice for DNT signals. Therefore, we handle all user information consistent with this Notice.

Global Privacy Control (GPC). We do honor legally recognized opt-out preference signals, including GPC. When we detect a valid GPC signal from your browser, we treat it as a request to opt out of “sale/share” for that browser and device and process it in a frictionless manner. Selecting “Do Not Sell or Share” or enabling GPC suppresses the firing of advertising/remarketing tags and prevents disclosure to ad networks and social media platforms for cross-context behavioral advertising. If you return using a different device or browser, you will need to set your preferences for that device or browser, unless you authenticate and we can associate your preferences with your account.

11. DO WE MAKE UPDATES TO THIS NOTICE?

We may periodically update this Notice.  Please reference the “LAST UPDATED” legend at the top of this page to see when this Notice was last revised.  Any changes to this Notice will become effective when we post the revised Notice on the Website.  

In the event that any changes to this Notice could potentially require you to provide renewed or additional consent for the use of your Personal Information, notice of the requirement, as well as information we are required to disclose related to your renewed or additional consent, will be prominently displayed. Your continued use of the Services will, along with express consent where required, constitute your consent to any additional processing of your Personal Information described therein.

12. Contact

If you have questions or comments about this notice, you may email us at privacy@gprsinc.com or by post at Ground Penetrating Radar Systems, LLC, 1901 Indian Wood Cir, Maumee, OH 4353&
