1. Data Acquisition

In order to help us personalize and continually improve your experience at the Website, we may gather certain types of information. The types of information we gather are:

1. Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on the Website, or give us in any other way. For example, we may request that you provide certain personal information, including your name, address, email address, birth date, telephone number, contact information, credit card numbers for purchases and other information from which your identity is confirmed. We may also sometimes afford you the opportunity to provide descriptive, cultural, behavioral, and preferential and/or lifestyle information about yourself, but it is solely up to you whether you furnish such information. If you do provide such information, you are thereby consenting to the use of that information in accordance with the policies and practices described in this Privacy Policy. We may also collect demographic information that is not unique to you such as your ZIP code, age, preferences, gender, interests and favorites. Sometimes we collect or may collect a combination of the two types of information. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to use certain features. We use the information that you provide to us for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing future visits for you, improving our services, communicating with you and may provide such information to third parties for purely non-commercial purposes.
2. Information Collected Via Technology:  Siren Marine Devices may automatically collect and transmit to us certain anonymous information relating to the functionality of the equipment installed on your vessel. We reserve the right to use such anonymous information for any purpose and disclose it to third parties at our sole discretion.
3. Automatic Information: We also receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, we gather or may gather certain information about your use of the Website and the Website networking, such as what areas you visit and what services you access. The Company and our partners, affiliates, and analytics or service providers use cookies or similar technologies. These technologies are used in analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Users can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual as well as aggregated basis.
   As is true of most web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files.  This information may include Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data.  We may combine this automatically collected log information with other information we collect about you. We do this to improve services we offer you and site functionality.  We may partner with third parties to either display advertising on our website or manage our advertising on other sites. Our third party partners may use technologies such as cookies to gather information about your activities on this website and other sites in order to provide you with advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests. We have not implemented the necessary program changes to honor “Do Not Track” or “DNT” browser signals.
4. Email Communications: We store all email correspondence between you and the Website in order to improve your future experiences. We may use your contact information in order to send you email or other communications regarding updates at the Website.
5. Blog/Testimonials: The Website may contain publicly accessible blogs or testimonials.  You should be aware that any information you provide in these areas may be read, collected and used by others who access them. To request removal of your personal information from a blog or testimonial, contact us.  In some cases, we may not be able to remove your personal information, in which case we will let you know if we are unable to do so and why.

The Website is not intended for children under 13 years of age. No one under age 13 may provide any information to or on the Website.

We may also retain backup information related to your account on our servers for some time after cancelation for fraud detection or to comply with applicable law or our internal security policies.

10. Mobile Privacy

We may offer you the ability to connect with our Website, or use our applications, services, and tools through a mobile device, either through a mobile application or via a mobile optimized website.

When you download or use our mobile applications, or access one of our mobile optimized sites, we may use various technologies to determine location, such as location services of the applicable operating system or browser and sensor data from your device, such as GPS coordinates. We automatically receive and record information on our server from your browser or mobile platform, including your location, IP address, browser type, operating information, device and application IDs, and cookie information. We will not use any information collected for advertising purposes and we will not provide this information to any third parties for use in the marketing of any product or service to you.  Most mobile devices allow you to control or disable location services in the device's setting's menu. If you have questions about how to disable your device's location services, we recommend you contact your mobile service carrier or the manufacturer of your particular device.

11. California Privacy Rights

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), California residents have certain rights relating to collection, use, and sharing of their personal information for companies that do a minimum amount of business in or with California residents.

We do not meet the minimum necessary requirements to be subject to the CCPA.  However, we also do not sell your personal information and will not do so in the future without providing you with notice and an opportunity to opt-out of such sale if required by law.  Similarly, we do not offer financial incentives associated with our collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information.

If you are a resident of California, you have the right to request to know what personal information has been collected about you, and to access that information.  You also have the right to request deletion of your personal information, though exceptions under the CCPA may allow us to retain and use certain personal information notwithstanding your deletion request.

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 permits customers who are California residents and who have provided the Company with “personal information” (as that term is defined in Section 1798.83) to request certain information about the disclosure of that information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

If you are a California resident with questions regarding your privacy rights, please contact us at info@sirenmarine.com.
