Information We
Collect Through Automatic Data Collection Technologies
As you navigate through and interact with our Website, we may use
automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information
about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns, including:
-
Details of your visits to our Website, including traffic data, location
data, logs and other communication data and the resources that you access
and use on the Website; and
-
Information about your computer and internet connection, including your IP
address, operating system and browser type.
We also may use these technologies to collect information about your
online activities over time and across third-party websites or other
online services (behavioral tracking). See below for information on how
you can opt out of behavioral tracking on this Website and how we respond
to web browser signals and other mechanisms that enable consumers to
exercise choice about behavioral tracking.
The information we collect automatically may include personal information
or we may maintain it or associate it with personal information we collect
in other ways or receive from third parties. It helps us to improve our
Website and to deliver a better and more personalized service, including
by enabling us to:
-
Estimate our audience size and usage patterns;
-
Store information about your preferences, allowing us to customize our
Website according to your individual interests;
-
Speed up your searches; and
-
Recognize you when you return to our Website.
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 our Website.
Flash Cookies. Certain features of our Website may use
local stored objects (or Flash cookies) to collect and store information
about your preferences and navigation to, from and on our Website. Flash
cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for
browser cookies. For information about managing your privacy and security
settings for Flash cookies, see Choices about How We Use and Disclose
Your Information.
Web Beacons. Pages of our the Website and our e-mails may
contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as
clear gifs. pixel tags and single-pixel gifs) that permit Nortek Security & Control, for
example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an e-mail
and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the
popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server
integrity).
We do not collect personal information automatically, but we may tie this
information to personal information about you that we collect from other
sources or you provide to us.
Do Not Track. As discussed above, because we may track
Website usage information through the use of cookies, pixels and other
tracking mechanisms, your selection of the “Do Not Track” option provided
by your browser may not have any effect on our collection of cookie
information. The only way to completely “opt out” of the collection of any
information through cookies or other tracking technology is to actively
manage the settings on your browser to delete and disable cookies and
other tracking/recording tools. However, getting a “Do Not Track” signal
to work as you might want is difficult. Using browsers as an example, not
all tracking technologies can be controlled by browsers; unique aspects of
your browser might be recognizable even if you disable a tracking
technology; not all settings will necessarily last or be effective; even
if a setting is effective for one purpose data still may be collected for
another; and even if one website observes a “Do Not Track” signal, that
website usually will not be able to control other websites.
