Green Bay Machinery, Co. Privacy Policy
This website is owned and operated by Green Bay Machinery, Co. Here at GBM, we
recognize that many visitors to our site are concerned about the information
they provide to us, and how we treat that information. So we've developed this
Privacy Policy to address those concerns. We may update this Policy from time
to time, so we ask all visitors to check it occasionally.
Purpose
The purpose of this website is to provide visitors with information about
Green Bay Machinery, Co., and allow visitors access to Green Bay Machinery’s products,
services and other industry information. This site is not intended for use by
minors, and if Green Bay Machinery determines that minors are inputting information
without the knowledge, consent and authorization of their parent or guardian,
such information will be immediately removed from Green Bay Machinery’s database.
Types of Information
We Collect
At our site, we collect both personally-identifiable information and aggregate
information.
Personally-identifiable information relates to an individual visitor to our
website and includes: name, address, telephone number, facsimile number, e-mail
address, and company name and address. We only collect personally-identifiable
information from individuals who provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly,
such as by registering at our site, or by providing name and address
information and requesting follow-up contacts from us. We do not require
visitors to register or provide this information to us in order to view our
site or have access to its content – unless content is customer-specific.
Aggregate information relates to such things as how many consumers visit the
site, which pages they access, what information they download, the type of web
browser and operating system they use, the name of their Internet Service
Provider (e.g., America Online), and so on. When someone visits our site, we
automatically collect this information, and combine it with similar information
collected about all other visitors. By collecting this information, we learn
how to best tailor our website to our visitors.
How Information is
Collected
As we noted above, personally-identifiable information is collected from you
directly and with your knowledge. Thus, when you register on the site, we
collect the information you provide. When you enter a promotion, we collect the
information needed for you to participate and for us to fulfill our obligations
to you. When you e-mail us, we collect the e-mail address you supply, so that
we can respond.
We also collect aggregate, non-personal information on an ongoing basis when you
view our website. The collection of this non-personal information is done
either through "cookie" technology or with "web beacons" (also called
'single-pixel gifs'), as explained below.
Cookies
Like many companies, we use "cookie" technology on and off of our website.
Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to an individual's
hard drive for purpose of keeping records. They enhance your online experience
by saving your preferences while you are visiting a particular site. The
cookies do not contain any personally-identifiable information and cannot
profile your system or collect information from your hard drive.
When you view our website we may place a "cookie" on your computer. Temporary
cookies are used for purposes such as counting the number of visits to our
sites. These temporary cookies are eliminated when you exit your browser. A
permanent cookie may also be stored on your computer by your browser. When you
log in, this type of cookie tells us whether you've visited us before or if you
are a new visitor. The cookie doesn't obtain any personal information about you
or provide us with any way to contact you, and the cookie doesn't extract any
information from your computer. We do use the cookie to help us identify site
features and recipes in which you have the greatest interest, so that we can
provide more of what you may want.
The help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent
your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you
when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Remember,
though, that cookies allow you to take full advantage of all of Green Bay Machinery’s
newest website features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
Web Beacons
Web beacons are Internet instrumentation that helps us to determine, for
instance, whether a page has been viewed. When you ask us to send you
information on a promotion or newsletter, we may use web beacons to determine
how many of the e-mails we sent were actually opened. In general, any
electronic image viewed as part of a web page, including a banner ad, can act
as a web beacon.
Questionnaires and Surveys
We may ask visitors to complete surveys and opinion polls about their attitudes
and interests. Surveys help us to understand your needs. If sample answers to
surveys are posted on the website site, no personally identifiable information
will be included. If you participate in one of our surveys, you can be assured
that we do not maintain any personal information about you in our databases as
a result of the survey.
How We Use Your
Personal Information
If you specifically agreed to follow-up contacts by us or asked to be put on
our mailing list when you registered, we may contact you from time to time. For
example, we may send you marketing or promotion materials; we may respond to
your comments or requests for information; or we may contact you if needed in
the course of processing a product or service you requested through our
website.
In the e-mail section of our site, we ask for some personally-identifiable
information, such as your name and phone number. We use this information only
if we need to contact you directly because our attempts to contact you by
e-mail were unsuccessful. We do not use your e-mail address for any purpose
other than to communicate with you and as provided herein, unless we have your
permission.
We also use personal information about you to improve our marketing and
promotional efforts; to statistically analyze website usage; and to improve our
features and content. We may also use your personal information to deliver
content that is customized to your interests as we best understand them from
the information you've provided to us and your activities on the site. This
customized content may include such things as recipes, banners, product
information, and promotions. We do not collect personal information
automatically, but we may combine non-personal information collected
automatically (through cookies) with your previously submitted personal
information.
Green Bay Machinery’s primary goal in collecting personal information is to give you a
meaningful and customized experience while you are using our websites.
Third Parties Who Provide Support Services to Green Bay Machinery
In the course of doing business, we employ other companies and individuals to
perform a variety of functions on our behalf. For example, we hire agencies to
help administer consumer promotions, to analyze data, to fulfill orders you
place, and to provide customer service. These agents may have access to
personal information if it is needed to perform their functions for Green Bay Machinery;
however, they have agreed not to use it for other purposes and to maintain the
information in confidence.
Data Sharing and Transfer
We do not sell, transfer, or disclose the personally-identifiable information
we gather at our website to third parties without your prior consent. There are
only two exceptions to this rule: (1) We will disclose information in cases
where we believe in good faith that it is necessary to prevent a crime or an
injury to ourselves or third parties; and (2) We disclose information to third
parties who provide support services to us, as described above.
There may be times when we share aggregate information about our visitors (for
example, the percentage of male and female visitors to our site) with
advertisers, business partners, sponsors, and other third parties in an effort
to customize or enhance the content and advertising of our site for our users.
We may also aggregate data from web log files (such as your web browser,
operating system, pages visited, etc.) to understand how users navigate the
site and what features are most popular.
Choice and Control
You are ultimately in control of the personally-identifiable information you
provide to us on our site. Therefore, we ask that you maintain and update the
information in order to keep it current and accurate. Further, you can always
change your preference for follow-up contacts just by e-mailing the Online Team
at the address listed below or by changing the information in Your Profile
section of the site. Or, if you prefer, you can cancel your registration
altogether and we will take prompt steps to remove your personally-identifiable
information from our database. E-mail the Online team at the address listed
below if you wish to take this action.
