This Privacy Policy applies only to the Site, and it applies to the Site regardless of the platform on which it is used. "You" in this Privacy Policy means you personally. If you visit other sites operated by McNaughton-McKay or other sites linked to the Site, the privacy policy for the Site will not control the practices for collecting and using personal information on those other sites. Additionally, unless explicitly referenced herein, the Privacy Policy does not apply to McNaughton-McKay's practices for collecting and using personal information offline or from sites, software, or applications other than the Site.

***********

What is "personal information?"

"Personal information," as used in this Privacy Policy, means information from which you can reasonably be identified.

 

What information do we collect?

Information You Provide.

We collect personal information that you provide voluntarily to McNaughton-McKay. Personal information requested might include identifiers, for example, your name, business address, email address, and title. Further, any commercial information provided when signing up for the McNaughton-McKay newsletter, training or app registration, or when using our contact request form may constitute personal information. McNaughton-McKay offers you the opportunity to purchase electrical equipment/parts through the Site and you pay for these items with certain credit cards. We outsource credit card processing and transactions to CenPos, who represents compliance with applicable Payment Card Industry standards. When you pay for a product or other service by credit card, you will be providing your credit card number to CenPos. McNaughton-McKay does not collect sensitive credit card information on the Site. We may, however, collect certain information about your transaction and purchase history as a result of your using the Site. As an added layer of protection, any credit card information we collect is encrypted via a tokenization method.

Automatically Collected Information.

Navigational Information. When you visit the Site, we may capture certain information automatically (even if you do not voluntarily provide us with personal information). This information may include internet or other electronic network activity information, such as your Internet protocol ("IP") address, location-based information, browser type, time and date of access and pages accessed, linking information, click stream, page visits, page views, and website log files. Navigational information may include location-based information, which we use to verify your location and provide you information that is geographically useful to you. You may have the ability to disable your device's GPS or other location-based information transmitter. If you choose to disable your device's ability to transmit geolocation information, you may not be able to take advantage of some of the Site's offerings. Navigational information is also captured through third party analytics and ad services.

We may match non-personal navigational information with other information we have collected from you during the course of your visit to the Site. Through this process inferences may be drawn from the information identified above and below reflecting your preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes. If that other information renders such navigational information identifiable to you or a particular device, then it will become personal information and will be treated as such pursuant to this Privacy Policy.

Cookies. We collect information using “cookie” technology. Cookies are small packets of data that a website stores locally so that your computer will “remember” information about your visit. We use both first- and third-party session cookies and persistent cookies. We use session cookies to make it easier for you to navigate our services. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time or until you delete them. You can remove persistent cookies using your web browser settings. Persistent cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our visitors to personalize the experience of our products and services. In some cases, we may associate information that you have provided to us (e.g., email address) with the cookies that we use. If you want to disable the use of cookies, you may be able to configure your web browser to delete persistent cookies. However, if you decide not to accept cookies from us, certain aspects of the services may not function properly or as intended. For additional information regarding our use of cookies, please see our Advertising and Analytics section below.

 

Who can see my personal information?

Personal information you provide to us in connection with your account on the Site may be visible to others within your same organization, designated as "super users," who are given permission to see it. Your organization is responsible for verifying the identity of each such individual and confirming that he or she is authorized by the organization to be a super user before granting permission to see the information of others within his or her organization. Your information will not be visible to the public, but may be shared with third-parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
