Other Non-Personally-Identifiable Information – The Great Lakes Tin website may collect non-personally identifiable information during your visit, such as type of browser, operating system, domain name, or IP address. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you’re surfing the Web. Web servers — the big computers that “serve” up Web pages — automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you visit pages on Great Lakes Tin’s website our servers log your IP address. We do not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information. This means that your session will be logged, but you remain anonymous to us. IP address information is used only to improve the service of the Great Lakes Tin site, and is then discarded at the end of each session on our site. Great Lakes Tin also collects information through “referrers” and various environmental variables. A “referrer” is information the Web browser passes along to our Web server that references the URL from which you came. “Environmental variables” include, among other things, the domain from which you access the Internet, the time you accessed our website, type of Web browser and operating system or platform used, the Internet address of the website you left to visit Great Lakes Tin, the names of the pages you visit while at our website, and the Internet address of the website you then visit. We collect all of this information to allow us to detect broad demographic trends, to provide information tailored to your interests and to enhance your experience on our website. Great Lakes Tin may store “referrer” information for a limited period of time prior to deleting this information.
Profiling – To help us improve our website and to ensure that we make every effort to provide you with information and offers that are of interest to you, we may merge your personally-identifiable information with click-stream data and other data we have (including cookies and offline data). We will provide notice of this, as well as an opportunity to opt-out of it, at the time and place of information collection and before data is entered on our system. We may also develop a non-identifiable profile on you based on the pages within our site that you visit.
How will my telephone number be used? Great Lakes Tin will contact you by telephone only in the event that the need arises to communicate with you directly regarding the processing of your order or inquiry. On limited occasions, we may contact you to survey your shopping experience. Telephone numbers are not shared with third parties.
How will my credit card number be used? Your credit card number and expiration are used to process your current transaction. For your security and ours, we do not store credit card information on our online server.
Updates to our policy – From time to time, we may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. If our information practices change at some time in the future we will post the policy changes to our website to notify you of these changes and provide you with the ability to opt-out of these new uses.
