This Privacy Policy also applies to Minnich's collection of personal information on its social media site pages, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, or others (collectively, our "Social Media Pages").
All Website content, including, without limitation, all text, graphics, audio, video, music, icons, images, hyperlinks, displays, products, HTML code and scripts (collectively, the "Website Content"), and the collection, arrangement and assembly of the Website Content, is the property of Minnich and its sponsors, distributors, or licensors, and is protected by copyright law and other U.S. and international laws and treaties. The User is granted no right, title or interest in or to the Website Content other than the limited license expressly set forth in these Terms and Conditions. The User may not modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, display, incorporate into a website or in any way exploit the Website Content, or any portion thereof, without the express written permission of Minnich except as follows: (i) the User's computer may temporarily store copies of such materials in RAM incidental to accessing and viewing the Website; (ii) the User may store files that are automatically cached by the User's web browser for display enhancement purposes; (iii) the User may print or download one copy of a reasonable number of pages of the Website for the User's own purposes and not for further reproduction, publication, or distribution; and (iv) if Minnich provides social media features with certain content, you may take such actions as are enabled by such features.
We may collect information about you from a variety of sources, including when:
We may ask you to provide information about yourself and your company directly to our Sites and/or Social Media Pages, such as your name, company name, age, email address, mailing address, telephone number, usernames or user IDs, passwords, billing and payment information, credit/debit card numbers, bank information, communication records, purchase and order information, personal preferences, demographic information, and information related to customer service matters, customer satisfaction surveys, or promotions.
We may allow you to use your personal social media account on social media sites (each, a "Personal Social Media Account") so as to provide information to us when you participate in certain features on our Sites. This information may include any information you have shared on your Personal Social Media Accounts, such as your name, profile picture, address, email address, country, gender, networks, user ID, friend list, language, birthday, education and work history, interests, and likes. In some instances, we may communicate with you through your Personal Social Media Account and we may collect the information that you provide in response to such communications.
It is also possible that we will be able to continue collecting this information from your Personal Social Media Accounts should the information be revised by you later. You may choose not to provide us with certain requested information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of some of the features on our Sites.
See the 7. How can I access and/or modify my personal information? section below for information regarding your ability to access and/or modify the personal information that you provide us.
Navigational Information:: Navigational information is collected by us and our third party service providers when you use our Sites. For example, we automatically collect IP addresses; website usage information such as browser type and version; operating system information; the Internet service provider used to access our Sites; use of links to arrive at our Sites and the IP address from which you arrived; web pages requested and viewed on our Sites, and time spent on our Sites; and, for our mobile websites and apps, technical information about the device used, such as screen size, cookie support by the device and how images may appear.
If any of the foregoing navigational information is ever connected to personal information, our use and disclosure thereof will be done in accordance with the 2. How do we use the information we collect about you? section, below.
Location Information: Our Sites and emails may include features that may require collecting different types of location information that we then use for the specific feature you have selected, such as:
Locator: Our Sites may allow you to search for the nearest location offering our products and/or services and a means to contact that location. If you access one of our Sites through a mobile device and you have enabled location-based services, specific location information may be collected for these features. If you access these features through a desktop device, you may be able to choose to have your browser provide us your location information to respond to your request. The specificity of the desktop device location information can vary depending on the browser you are using and how you are connected to the Internet.
Email: Our emails may use your IP Address to determine the postal code where you are located when you open the email. This allows us to tailor content to you, such as a map of nearby stores carrying our products and services. The specificity of the location can vary depending on the device used to open our emails.
If you do not consent to have your browser provide location information or you disable location-based services on your mobile device, we may ask you to manually select the region where you are located, or to enter your zip code; if you chose not to provide this information some features of the Sites may not be available. See the 5. What choices do you have over how Minnich uses your information? section below for the choices you have regarding collection of location information.
Cookies and other similar technology: We and our third party service providers use "cookies." Cookies assign a unique identification to your device and are typically stored on your device by your web browser. We may also use pixel tags (also known as web beacons, web bugs, and clear GIFs) on the Sites and in emails. A pixel tag is a nearly invisible pixel-sized graphic image on a webpage or in an email message.
We and our third party service providers use cookies, pixel tags and similar technology to collect information about things like: your interactions with our Sites and with our advertisements; the times you visit our Sites; confirmation when you open email from us, including the time you open the email and whether you click on any links in the email; the sites you visit after visiting one of our Sites; and to keep track of the items you place in your shopping carts and what you purchase from your shopping cart.
If information collected by cookies or other information tracking technologies is ever connected to your personal information, our use and disclosure of it will be done in accordance with the "2. How do we use the information we collect about you?" section, below. For additional information about how we use cookies for advertising, see the "3. How is technology used to serve our advertisements on other websites that you visit and what choices do you have?" section, below.
Personal information may be collected directly by us through our Social Media Pages. The type of information we would collect is similar to what is described above under "Information You Provide." Personal information may also be collected by the social media site hosting our Social Media Pages. Our Privacy Policy does not cover the privacy and security practices of the social media sites on which Minnich has its Social Media Pages.
We may use the information you provide for things like completing your registration; delivering products or services that you have ordered; conducting and improving our customer service; improving the content of our Sites; conducting market research and surveys; marketing our goods and services; developing and conducting promotions; responding to your inquiries and to send you information that we think may be of interest to you; and for other internal business purposes including but not limited to opening online accounts, verifying billing accuracy, communicating with our customers about service-related issues, managing fraud and abuse, collecting past due accounts, and maintaining financial, tax and legal records.
We use location information for many of the same things listed above. For example, our emails may use your IP Address to determine the postal code where you are located when you open the email, which allows us to tailor content to you. We may use navigational information to help us evaluate how our visitors use and navigate our Sites. For example, we may collect navigational information to determine things like the number and frequency of visitors to each web page of our Sites, the difficulties that visitors may have with our Sites, and the length of their visits to our Sites. We analyze this information to better understand and improve our visitors' experience on our Sites and for other internal business purposes.
We use information collected through cookies and similar technology for many of these same purposes. In addition cookies and similar technology are used for things like personalizing your experience on our Sites, analyzing trends, determining return visitors, serving tailored advertisements on other sites, measuring the effectiveness of our advertising and keeping track of the content of your shopping cart. We use third-party analytics providers, such as Google Analytics, to measure traffic and usage trends, and to help us better understand your use of and interaction with our Sites and Social Media Pages. For more information on how Google uses data when you use our Sites, click here.
Similar to the navigational information described above, the social media sites where we have our Social Media Pages may provide aggregate information and analysis to us about visitors to our Social Media Pages. This allows us to better understand and analyze our user growth, general demographic information about the users of, and interaction with content on, our Social Media Pages.
This Privacy Policy governs the information collected at the Sites irrespective of where you are located. This means your personal information may be stored outside of the province, state, and/or country in which you reside, and processed by us, an affiliate or a third-party service provider as described in this Privacy Policy.
We may contract with third party advertising companies to tailor online advertising to be directed to you on other websites. These third party advertising companies place, use, or rely on technology, such as cookies and pixel tags, to obtain information about your interactions with our Sites as well as with other websites. This information helps us select advertising to serve to you and where to serve it based on your experience on our Sites and other sites that you visit.
For information about opt out programs that these third party advertising companies participate in, and the effect of opting out, click the following: NAI Opt Out and DAA Opt Out. By clicking either of these websites, you will then leave our Site for other online sites where you may specify your preferences under those opt-out programs. You can also click the preference icon that may appear on some of our advertising served through these technologies. You should also note that our systems may not recognize "Do Not Track" headers from some or all browsers.
Your information may be shared among Minnich and its affiliates who are responsible for providing services to you so that they may communicate with you directly regarding your service and related matters. We also may share your information with third party service providers so that they can help us provide services to you, such as monitoring Site activity, marketing our goods and services, hosting a Site, processing or servicing the transactions you have authorized (including but not limited to providing such information to credit card or debit card processors, data processors or mailing services), taking surveys, maintaining our customer database, and administering and monitoring e-mails. No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
Additionally, your information may be shared with and disclosed to unaffiliated third parties: (1) when it is necessary for completing or servicing the transactions you have authorized, including, but not limited to, providing such information to credit card or debit card processors, data processors, or mailing services; (2) for those making purchases, to verify the existence or condition of your account with a financial institution, credit bureau or other third-party; (3) when it is provided to third-parties under a joint marketing agreement as permitted by law; (4) in the event we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business assets or merge with another company or are involved in a corporate reorganization or other change of control, your personal information may be one of the business assets transferred, shared or sold as part of the transaction; or (5) we may disclose your personal information without your consent if we believe, in our sole discretion, it is reasonable to do so to satisfy laws or government regulations, comply with legal process or law enforcement requests, commence legal actions for violation of our Site Terms of Use, or to protect rights, safety or property of Minnich, our users or others.
We may also share aggregate data about our sales, customers, traffic patterns, and other related Site information with third parties, but none of this data is connected to an individual's personal information.
Except as provided above, Minnich will not trade, sell, or share your personal information.
We give you choices about the information we collect and how we communicate with you.
Email: You may opt-out of our marketing emails by following the instructions listed in the email that you received. However, even if you opt-out you may still receive non-marketing emails, such as order/shipping confirmations or customer service communications.
Location Information:
Mobile Device Location Information. Your mobile device settings may allow you to disable location-based services, which will prevent our Sites from accessing your precise mobile device location information. We recommend you review the help or user manual provided with your device for instructions.
Desktop Device Location Information. Your desktop web browser may allow you to remove permission you granted through your desktop device for our Sites to access your location information and/or completely block requests for location information. We recommend you review the help or user manual provided with your browser for instructions.
Email Location Information. Your email program may allow you to prevent the pixel tags or images in the emails you receive from us from downloading, which will also prevent our service provider from accessing your location information. You can also unsubscribe from receiving our emails, as described in the "Email" section above.
Postal Marketing: If you no longer want to receive marketing materials from us via regular postal mail, please email us at privacy@minnich-mfg.com and tell us that you want to be removed from the Minnich postal mailing list, including the postal address you wish to have removed.
Cookies: You may set your web browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to not accept certain cookies. However, if you decide not to accept cookies from our Sites, you may not be able to take advantage of all of the features on our Sites. For information on how to opt-out of the use of cookies for online behavioral advertising, see 3. How is technology used to serve our advertisements on other websites that you visit and what choices do you have?.
California Opt-Out Rights: Under California law, if you are a resident of California and have previously communicated with us or purchased something from us, you may make a written request to Minnich about how we have shared your personal information during the prior calendar year with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. In response to your written request, Minnich is allowed to provide you with a cost-free means to opt-out of such sharing rather than providing the information about these third parties. We are providing the opportunity to opt out, which you can do by sending an opt out request that includes your name and all of the postal addresses and email addresses that you have provided to us to the following postal address: Minnich, Inc., Attn: Privacy Policy, 1444 State Route 42, Mansfield, OH 44903.
We design our Sites to protect the security of your information by utilizing encryption technology. We also use firewalls and have implemented other reasonable technical, administrative and physical measures designed to protect the personal information in our custody or control from unauthorized access, use, modification and disclosure. Moreover, we regularly monitor our system for possible vulnerabilities and attacks. While we implement these security measures on our Sites, you should be aware that 100% security is not always possible.
You have the right to access, update and correct inaccuracies in your personal information in our custody and control, subject to certain exceptions prescribed by law. You may access, update and correct inaccuracies in certain personal information through your account. You may request access, updating and correction of inaccuracies in other personal information we have about you by emailing or writing to us at the contact information set forth below. We may request certain personal information for the purposes of verifying the identity of the individual seeking access to their personal information records.
To modify your personal information, contact us at privacy@minnich-mfg.com. We will make every effort to respond to your requests in a timely manner.
We may enable you to navigate to third-party sites through links on our Sites. We do this for your convenience. If it is not one of our Sites, we don't endorse, may not have any affiliation with the third-party sites, and we do not control and aren't responsible for their Internet and web practices. Whether the third-party content appears within our Site environment (like a map frame), or you leave our Site for another website to view it, the terms, conditions, and privacy policies of those other websites govern your online experience. Please review their terms of service and privacy policies if you have any question about their practices.
We may make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time to take into account new or changing circumstances, so please review it periodically. If we make a material change to our information collection, use or disclosure practices specified in this Privacy Policy, it will be applied only to information collected on a going forward basis. By visiting or registering to use a Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and consent to receive notice of any material changes in this Privacy Policy or material changes in our collection, use or disclosure of your personal information as specified in this Privacy Policy, by postings on the Sites or by email, as determined by Minnich. We will update the effective date of the Privacy Policy at the time a change is made.
