Cookies and Web Beacons Cookies and web beacons are very small text files that are stored on your computer when you visit certain web pages. SolarLeadDepot.com collects information through cookies and web beacons about your web browsing activities such as the address of the page you are visiting, the address of the referrer page you previously visited, the time you are viewing the page, your browsing environment and your display settings. We use cookies and web beacons on our Services to:
Understand traffic patterns and the number of visitors to the Services and other non- SolarLeadDepot.com websites that we partner with; Understand how you use and interact with the Services; Improve the SolarLeadDepot.com products and services; Optimize your experience on our Services; Provide anonymous individual or aggregate auditing, research, modeling and reporting for our advertisers and other partners (no personally identifiable information about you is shared with our advertisers and other partners as part of these activities); Provide you relevant advertising and content; and Properly manage our Services. Please note that some cookies may be placed by a third party service provider who performs some of these functions for us. Other companies’ use of their cookies is subject to their own privacy policies, not this one. If you are concerned about cookies, most browsers permit individuals to decline cookies. A user refusing cookies can still fully navigate our Services.
We may use third-party analytics companies to evaluate the use of our Services. We or our service providers use these tools to help us understand, and to improve our Services, performance, and user experiences. These entities may use cookies and other tracking technologies, such as web beacons or local storage objects (“LSOs”), to perform their services. To learn more about Google’s privacy practices, please see the Google Privacy Policy; to opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics, you can download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Do Not Track Disclosure Our Services do not respond to Do Not Track signals. For more information about Do Not Track signals, please click here. You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in the Web Beacons section above (e.g., by declining cookies).
Interest-Based Advertising We use third parties such as network advertisers to display advertisements on our Services, to assist us in displaying advertisements on third-party services, and to evaluate the success of our advertising campaigns. You may opt-out of many third-party ad networks, including those operated by members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA). For more information regarding this practice by NAI members and DAA members, and your choices regarding having this information used by these companies, including how to opt out of third-party ad networks operated by NAI and DAA members, please visit their respective websites: www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp (NAI) and www.aboutads.info/choices (DAA).
Opting out of one or more NAI member or DAA member networks (many of which will be the same) only means that those members no longer will deliver targeted content or ads to you. It does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content or ads on our Services or other services. You may continue to receive advertisements, for example, based on the particular website that you are viewing (i.e., contextual advertising). Also, if your browsers are configured to reject cookies when you visit an opt-out page, or you subsequently erase your cookies, use a different computer or change web browsers, your NAI or DAA opt out may no longer be effective.
Links to Other Web Sites Our Services may contain links to other sites owned by third parties. Your use of each of those sites is at your own risk and is subject to the terms of those sites. SolarLeadDepot has no control over sites that are not ours, and we are not responsible for any changes to or content on them. SolarLeadDepot assumes no responsibility for the content of or services offered by linked third-party sites, and makes no representations regarding the accuracy of materials on third-party Web sites. Statements made on third-party Web sites linked to or from our Services reflect only the views of their authors and not of SolarLeadDepot. SolarLeadDepot’s inclusion on the Site of any third-party content or a link to a third-party site is not an endorsement of that content or third-party site.
Security We have taken steps to help protect the personal information we collect. However, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security. You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your device and account by, among other things, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess and keeping your log-in and password private. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen, or compromised passwords or for any activity on your account via unauthorized password activity.
Your Choices You may correct or request deletion of your personal information by logging into your profile and updating your information or emailing us at [email protected]. Please note that we may retain certain information about you as required by law or as permitted by law for legitimate business purposes (e.g., in accordance with our record retention policies or to enforce our Terms of Service). Customer Clients who wish to correct or delete the personal data that we use on behalf of Customers should contact the Customer with which they interact to make such a request.
We may send periodic promotional or informational emails to Customers or, on Customers’ behalf, to Customer Clients. Customers and Customer Clients may opt out of such communications by following the opt-out instructions contained in the email. Please note that it may take up to 10 business days for us to process opt-out requests. If Customers opt out of receiving marketing emails from us, we may still send them non-promotional emails (e.g., about their account with us). If you are a Customer Client that receives emails from one of our Customers and you no longer want to be contacted by that Customer, please unsubscribe directly from that Customer’s communication or contact the Customer directly to update your email preferences.
