Anchor Fabrication (collectively, “Anchor Fabrication” “we” or “us”) values your privacy. In this Privacy Policy (“Policy”), we describe how we collect, use, and disclose or otherwise process information and personal information that we obtain about users (“Users”) of our websites (each a “Site” and collectively the “Sites”), our social media networking pages, and the services available through our Sites (each a Service and collectively the “Services”).

Cookies

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser for record-keeping purposes.

For more information on the specific types of first and third party cookies served through our Sites, please see our Cookie Policy

Clear GIFs, pixel tags and other technologies

Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with unique identifiers, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags), in connection with our Sites to, among other things, help us manage content, and compile statistics about usage. We and our third-party service providers use clear GIFs in HTML e-mails to our customers, to help us track e-mail response rates, identify when our e-mails are viewed, and track whether our e-mails are forwarded.

Local Storage

We may use local storage technologies, such as HTML5 or Flash Local Storage Objects (“Flash LSOs”) to store your Site preferences and to personalize your visit. Typically, you cannot control, delete, or disable the acceptance of HTML5 or Flash LSOs through your web browser. For more information on HTML5 and Flash LSOs, or to learn how to manage your settings for HTML5 and Flash LSOs, go to the Adobe Flash Player Help Page, choose “Global Storage Settings Panel” and follow the instructions.

Advertising and Analytics

We use third-party analytics tools, including, but not limited to, Google Analytics, to collect, monitor, and analyze information we collect from you in order to improve functionality and user-friendliness of our Sites and to better tailor the Services to our visitors’ needs.

In addition, we may send Users targeted ads, based on their location and activities on our Sites. We may also participate in third-party ad networks (including but not limited to Google Ads and Facebook Ads) and allow third parties, including network advertisers, to use cookies, pixel tags, and other tracking technologies on the Sites to collect usage information and display targeted ads. These third parties may be able to associate the information they collect with other information they have about you from other sources. These third-party cookies and other technologies are governed by each third party’s specific privacy policy, not this one. For more information on third-party analytics and advertising practices, please visit our Cookie Policy

Do-Not-Track

Our Sites do not honor browser do-not-track requests. However, you can find information on how to opt out of many participating website ad networks at the following websites: Network Advertising Initiative , and Digital Advertising Alliance. Please note that opting out does not prevent all targeted ads from being displayed to you. Also, if you delete cookies or change devices, your opt-out may no longer be effective.

User Generated Content

Any content you post to our Sites or social networking pages (“User Generated Content”), may be available to all Users, and we cannot prevent such content from being used in a manner that violates this Policy, the law, or your personal privacy.

If you are a data subject in the EEA, subject to certain conditions and restrictions set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and other applicable laws, you have the following rights with regard to our processing of your Personal Data (as defined in the GDPR):

• Right of access, erasure and rectification You have the right to request access to and obtain a copy of any of your Personal Data that we may hold, and to request the deletion of your Personal Data under certain circumstances. If the Personal Data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you are entitled to request to have it corrected. If you are entitled to have information corrected and if we have shared your Personal Data with others, we will let them know about the rectification where possible. If you ask us, we will also tell you, where possible and lawful to do so, with whom we have shared your Personal Data so that you can contact them directly.
• Your Right to Restriction of Processing You can ask us to restrict the processing of your Personal Data in certain circumstances, such as where you contest the accuracy of that Personal Data or you object to our use or stated legal basis. Where your Personal Data is subject to restriction, we will only process it with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. If you ask us, we will also tell you, where possible and lawful for us to do so, with whom we have shared your Personal Data so that you can contact them directly.
• Right to Data Portability Where we are relying (as the justification for processing) upon your consent, or the fact that the processing is necessary to perform a contract to which you are party or to take steps at your request prior to entering a contract, and the Personal Data is processed by automated means, you have the right to receive a copy of the Personal Data we have obtained from you in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format, and to reuse it elsewhere or to ask us to transfer this to a third party of your choice.
• Right to object to processing (including profiling) based on legitimate interest grounds Where we are relying upon legitimate interests to process Personal Data, you have the right to object to that processing. If you object, we must stop that processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or we need to process the Personal Data for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. Where we rely upon legitimate interest as a basis for processing we believe that we can demonstrate such compelling legitimate grounds, but we will consider each case on an individual basis.
• Right to object to direct marketing (including profiling) You have the right to object to our use of your Personal Data (including profiling) for direct marketing purposes, such as when we use your Personal Data to invite you to our promotional events.
• Your right to withdraw your consent In the event your Personal Data is processed on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
• Your right to lodge a complaint You have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your Personal Data infringes applicable law.

Please note that some of these rights may be limited, such as where we have an overriding interest or legal obligation to continue to process your Personal Data. If you wish to exercise any of these rights or for any other inquiries or complaints regarding the processing of your Personal Data by us, please contact us at hello@Anchor Fabrication.co.
