B. What our Privacy Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy pertains to this Site and all sites belonging to Sandler Seating Ltd. Although this Site may provide you with links to other websites, those websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy even though those sites may be owned by business partners of or service providers to Sandler Seating Ltd, Sandler Seating Ltd strongly encourages you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit, including those websites to which this Site provides links. Whenever you visit any other website from this Site, you alone are responsible for any communication you may have with that site.

C. Information Collection – Passive

This Site uses various technologies to passively collect information from you while you are visiting (that is, you do not actively provide this information). Such technologies allow the Site to collect a range of information, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address (a unique identifier automatically assigned to your computer when logging onto the Internet), the type of Web browser and operating system you use, the date and time you visit the Site, the specific pages you visit on the Site, session identifiers assigned to your visit and the address of the website you visited before coming to this Site – all of which are non-personally identifiable information. We typically use such passively collected information for a variety of purposes, such as to administer the Site, customize the Site to your preferences, and compile aggregated statistics for marketing and research purposes. We reserve the unrestricted right to use this passively collected, non-personally identifiable information, including, but not limited to, selling, leasing, permitting access to, or otherwise transferring it to our affiliates, business partners, advertisers, dealers, and other third parties.
Two types of passive information collection technologies deserve special mention:

1. Web Beacons

“Web beacons” (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs, and 1-by-1 GIFs) are Internet tags that are smaller than cookies and may tell the website server non-personally identifiable information such as the IP address and browser type related to the user’s computer. This Site does not use “Web beacons.”

2. Cookies

“Cookies” are small text files that store information about your interactions with a particular website, either temporarily (known as a “temporary” or “session” cookie, and deleted once you close your browser window) or more permanently on the hard drive of your computer (known as a “permanent” or “persistent cookie”). Cookies can make it easier to use a website by allowing servers to access certain information quickly. Session cookies can be used to help a user’s browser navigate a website more smoothly. Persistent cookies can be used to customize a website for a user, such as by storing passwords, preferences, and registration and account information so that users do not have to reenter them each time they visit a website.

This Site uses both session/temporary cookies and persistent/permanent cookies to store information that allows us to serve you better. To make the Site easier to use, we combine information collected via cookies with personally identifiable information. Please understand that if you set up your browser to disallow cookies, you might not be able to access important functions or areas of the Site.

D. Information Collection – Active
