We may collect your name, email address, phone number, and other contact details. Our customers are primarily business entities and so the information we collect is frequently professional contact information, however, if you are a homeowner and register a limited material warranty with us, we collect your name, phone number, home address, installing contractor, warranty date, MBTechnology products used, and the distributor supplying the product.
Device Information
We collect device information when you visit our Site. This includes your computer or mobile device type, browser type, online identifiers, and IP address.
Interaction with our Site
We may collect information concerning your interaction with our Site, including when you access the Site and your browsing activity on the Site (such as which pages you visit, in what order, and for how long). This may include “traffic” data or tracking information provided by the Site’s host or similar providers (e.g., Google Analytics) that may be helpful for marketing purposes or for improving the Service.
You are not required to provide all personal information identified in this Privacy Policy to use our Service or to interact with us, but certain functionality will not be available if you do not provide certain personal information. For example, if you do not provide certain personal information, we may not be able to respond to your requests.
We store certain information that gets collected automatically at our end through cookies and other similar technologies. A cookie is a small string of information that a website that you visit transfers to your browser for identification purposes. Cookies can be used to follow your activity while using a website or across websites, and that information helps companies understand your preferences and tendencies, as well as improve and personalize your website experience. Some cookies are necessary to operate a website, while others can be functional, analytical, or used for marketing purposes, including targeted advertising (as discussed in more detail below). Cookies on our websites are generally divided into the following categories:
- Strictly Necessary Cookies. These are required for the operation of the Site. They include, for example, cookies that manage your session during your visit to the Site. These cookies are session cookies that are erased when you close your browser.
- Analytical/Performance Cookies. These allow us to recognize and count the number of users to the Site and understand how such users navigate through the Site (e.g., when and which pages are visited, in what order the pages are visited, and where a user is located).
We use Google Analytics for part of this process. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. Google provides users with the ability to prevent their data from being used by Google Analytics—learn more by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Targeting Cookies. These record your visit to the Site and the pages you have visited and the links you have followed, to recognize you as a previous visitor, and to track your activity on the Site and other websites you visit. These cookies are used to display our ads on other websites based on your visits to the Site and other online activity. These cookies qualify as persistent cookies because they remain on your device. You can also delete these cookies as detailed below.
You can prevent the use of certain cookies, or delete existing cookies, by modifying your Internet browser settings, typically under the sections “Help,” “Internet Options,” or “Settings.” If you disable or delete certain cookies in your Internet browser settings, you may still access the Site, however, you might not be able to access or use important functions or features of the Site, and you may, for example, be required to re-enter your log-in details.
