Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It

As you use the Services, we may collect two types of information from you: (1) “personally identifiable information“ (as described below); and (2) “non-personally identifiable information” (as described below).

“Personal Information” or “Personally identifiable information” is information that identifies you personally, such as your name, address, telephone number, email address, and task information. 

Here are some examples of the ways in which we may collect and store your personally identifiable information through the Services:

  • We may collect your first and last name, email address, or other information if you fill out certain forms or online requests on the Services;
  • We may collect your email address if you contact us with a question;
  • We may collect your first and last name, email address, and account number if you register to download product technical information such as CAD or other electronic specification files;
  • We may collect your location information when you search for a distributor near you within the distance that you specify using our distributor locator service; and
  • We, or our third party providers, may collect your financial information if you make or receive payments using the Services.

“Non-personally identifiable information“ can be technical information (e.g. project details etc.), or it can be demographic information, such as your age, name, gender, or interests.  Non-personally identifiable information may also mean aggregated, non-identifiable, or anonymized information.  Non-personally identifiable information does not identify you personally.  If you do provide us with non-personally identifiable information, we may use it for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or any other legal purpose.

Here are some examples of ways through which we may collect and store your non-personally identifiable information through the Services, and how we use such information:

  • Log Information: When you use the Services or view content provided through the Services, we automatically collect and store certain information in our server logs. This type of information includes details of how you use the Services, IP address information described below, web pages which have been viewed by you, date and time, domain type, device event information such as crashes, system activity, hardware, settings, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your requests, and referral url. 
  • Internet Protocol (IP) Address: Your “IP address” is a number that lets computers attached to the internet know where to send you data, such as screens and pages of our services that you view. We use this information to deliver our screens and pages to you upon request, to tailor our services to the interests of you and our other visitors, and to measure traffic to and within our services. 
  • Demographic Information: “Demographic Information” may be gender, age, zip code, and interests. We may collect such information about you through our services and use it to provide you with personalized services and to analyze trends to ensure that our services and the information on them is targeted to meet your needs.  Please note that we also consider aggregated information, which is not personally identifiable, to be non-personally identifiable information. 
  • Location Information: When you use the Services, we may collect and process information about your actual location. We may also use various technologies to determine location, including IP address, global positioning systems, and other sensors that may provide MaMaThis with information about nearby devices and WiFi access points.  Depending on how you access the Services, you may be prompted by your browser or your mobile device to request permission to access this location information.   
  • Usage Information: When you use the Services, we may collect and process information about how you use the Services, including how you move through the Services.
  • Feedback Information: From time to time, we may request that you provide us with feedback regarding the Services, as well as the products and services we offer. We may do this in the form of a survey or other feedback mechanism.  We may collect and analyze this information. 

The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include:

  • Cookies (or browser cookies): A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser.  However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of the Services.  Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse our cookies, our system will use cookies when you direct your browser to the Services. 
  • Web Beacons: Pages of the Services and our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit our company, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).

If you encounter a screen or page that requests information you do not want to share with us, do not enter the information and do not proceed with that screen or page.
