CPM Privacy Policy

Last Revised: June 28, 2023

 

California businesses, please review our California Supplemental Privacy Policy.

 

Scope of This Policy

 

This website privacy policy (this “Policy”) applies to information collected through CPM Holdings, Inc. and its affiliates’ (collectively, “CPM”) websites, web portals, and other products or services that display or link to this policy (collectively, the “Sites”).

 

Your Consent

 

Please take a few minutes to review this Policy before using our Sites. By using our Sites, you are consenting to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as set forth in this Policy. If you do not agree to be bound by this Policy, you may not access or use our Sites.

 

This Policy is Part of Our Terms of Use

 

This Policy is part of the Terms of Use that govern your use of our Sites. A link to our Terms & Conditions is provided at the bottom of each page of our Sites.

 

Types of Information We Collect

 

Information You Manually Provide. CPM collects the information you manually provide (using your keyboard, mouse, or touchpad) when you use our Sites. For example, we collect your name and contact information and other data you provide when you place an order, ask us a question, or otherwise interact with our Sites. 

 

Information from your browser or device. CPM may collect information that is sent to us automatically by your web browser. This information typically includes your IP address, the name of your operating system, the name and version of your browser, the date and time of your visit, and the pages you visit. The information we receive may depend on your browser or device settings. The technical information we receive from your web browser and device may or may provide your name. However, we may combine it with other information in an attempt to identify you, or we may combine that technical information with other data linked to you.

 

Information Collected by Cookies and Other Technologies. A “cookie” is a small file placed on your device when you visit a site that can be understood by us or other parties that issued the cookie. We may use cookies and other technologies, including device identifiers, to collect information and support certain features of our Sites. For example, we may use these technologies to:

  • collect information about the ways visitors use our Sites—which pages they visit, which links they use, and how long they stay on each page;
  • support the features and functionality of our Sites – for example, to save you the trouble of reentering information already in our database or to prompt the settings you established on previous visits;
  • personalize your experience when you use our Sites; and
  • improve our marketing efforts, including through use of targeted advertising.

If you do not wish to receive cookies, you may set your browser to reject cookies or to alert you when a cookie is placed on your computer. Although you are not required to accept cookies when you visit our Sites, you may be unable to use all of the functionality of our Sites if your browser rejects our cookies.

 

Information About Third-Party Cookies and Interest-Based Advertising

 

In addition to the cookies the website delivers to your computer through our Sites, certain third parties may deliver cookies to you for a variety of reasons. For example, we may use Google Analytics, a web analytics tool that helps us understand how visitors engage with our Sites. To learn more about Google Analytics click here

 

Other third parties may deliver cookies to your computer for the purpose of tracking your online behaviors over time and across nonaffiliated websites and/or delivering targeted advertisements either on our Sites or on other websites. For information about how to limit the data that third parties receive, please see “Your Choices” below.

 

How We Use Information Collected Through Our Sites

 

Generally, we use the information we collect through our Sites:

 

  • to provide the information, products, and services you request;
  • for security, credit, or fraud prevention purposes;
  • to provide you with effective customer service;
  • to provide you with a personalized experience when you use our Sites;
  • to contact you with information and notices related to your use of our Sites;
  • to contact you with special offers and other information we believe will be of interest to you (in accordance with any privacy preferences you have expressed to us);
  • to invite you to participate in surveys and provide feedback to us (in accordance with any privacy preferences you have expressed to us); to better understand your needs and interests;
  • to improve the content, functionality, and usability of our Sites; to improve our products and services and to attract investors; to improve our marketing and promotional efforts; and
  • for any other purpose identified in an applicable privacy notice, click-through agreement, or other agreement between you and us.

How We Share Information with Others

 

With Third–Party Vendors. CPM shares information collected through our Sites with third-party vendors who act on our behalf. For example, we may use third-party vendors to design and operate our Sites. These third-party vendors may need information about you to perform their obligations. Typically, they are required by contract to keep your information confidential and to use it only to provide services on our behalf; however, as described below, we may allow them to use aggregate or de-identified data for their own purposes or to market the products and services of their other clients.

 

With Other Companies in CPM’s Corporate Structure. We may share information collected through our Sites with other companies in CPM’s corporate structure, including subsidiaries, parent companies, and sister companies existing now or hereafter acquired. These affiliate companies are permitted to use your information for their own marketing purposes and in a manner otherwise consistent with this Policy.

 

In Aggregate or De-Identified Form. We may use information collected through our Sites to create a compiled, aggregate view of usage patterns. We may share aggregate information with third parties so we and they can better understand our user base. We may also share with third party’s information about how particular individuals use our Sites, but only on a de-identified basis (“Individualized Data”). Individualized Data is not personally identifiable, but it does reflect the usage patterns of a particular Sites user, as opposed to Sites users collectively. We may provide basic demographic information (gender and age) in conjunction with providing Individualized Data. Third parties typically use this information for analytical purposes and to market their own products and services.

 

As Part of a Business Transfer. Your information may be transferred to a successor organization if, for example, we transfer the ownership or operation of our Sites to another organization if we merge with or are acquired by another organization, or if we liquidate our assets. If such a transfer occurs, the successor organization’s use of your information will still be subject to this Policy and the privacy preferences you have expressed to us.

 

To Comply with Laws and Protection of Our Rights and the Rights of Others. We may disclose your information when we, in good faith, believe disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law, a court order, or a subpoena. We may also disclose your information to prevent or investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; to protect the security of our Sites; or to protect our own rights or property or the rights, property, or safety of our users or others.

 

As Described in a Privacy Notice or Click-Through Agreement. We reserve the right to disclose your information as described in any privacy notice posted on our Sites, or as described in any click-through agreement to which you have agreed.

 

Your Choices

 

In General. We respect your right to make choices about the ways we collect, use, and disclose the information you provide on or through our Sites. We strive to provide choices to you at a meaningful time and in a meaningful place. For example, if you don’t want information about your visit to our Sites sent to Google Analytics, you may download an opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here. Please note that the Add-on does not prevent information from being sent to CPM.

 

In addition, if you would like to opt out of having participating entities collect your online behavior for advertising purposes when you are browsing our website, click here for a “Website opt-out.” You will be directed to an industry-developed website that allows you to choose whether each listed entity may collect and use data for interest-based advertising purposes. It may be that some of the third parties that collect interest-based information on our Sites do not participate in the Website opt-out, in which case the best way to avoid third-party tracking of your online behaviors may be through your browser settings and deletion of cookies.

 

Please note that the Website opt-out is device-specific, and the Website opt-out is browser-specific. If you wish to opt-out from having interest-based information collected by participating entities across all devices and browsers, you need to take the steps outlined above from each device and browser.

 

Previously Expressed Preferences. You may change previously expressed preferences regarding how we use information you provide on or through our Sites. For example, if you have provided your contact information and receive periodic emails from us, you may decide to stop receiving those emails by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in an email’s footer. You may be able to change other preferences through an account you create on our Sites. Otherwise, please contact us using the information provided below.

 

How to Access, Update, or Correct Your Information

 

If you have created a profile on our Sites, you may be able to access, update, or correct your information through your account settings. Otherwise, you may need our help. Please contact us using the information provided below. We will respond to you within a reasonable time and, in any case, within the time limits established by applicable law. We may ask you for additional information to verify your identity.

 

In most cases, we will provide access and correct or delete any inaccurate information you discover. In some cases, however, we may limit or deny your request if the law permits or requires us to do so or if we are unable to verify your identity. If you seek the deletion of information that you provided when you were a minor, please contact us using the information provided below.

 

Steps We Take to Safeguard your Information

 

We maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technological measures to protect the confidentiality and security of personal information you submit on or through our Sites. Unfortunately, no website, server, or database is completely secure or “hacker proof.” We, therefore, cannot guarantee that your personal information will not be disclosed, misused, or lost by accident or by the unauthorized acts of others. Further, we cannot control the dissemination of personal information you post on or through our Sites using any social networking tools we may provide, and you should have no expectation of privacy in such information.

 

Children Under the Age of Thirteen

 

Our Sites is not intended for children or minors under the age of thirteen years without the permission of a parent or guardian. If you believe that a child has submitted personal information on or through our Sites without the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian, please contact us at [email protected]  so that we can take appropriate action.

 

Links to Other Sites

 

Our Sites may provide links to other websites operated by third parties, including, in some cases, our third-party vendors. CPM does not control these websites and is not responsible for their data practices.

 

Any information you provide to third parties on their website is covered under their privacy and data collection policies and is not covered by this Policy. We urge you to review the privacy policy posted on any site you visit before using the site or providing any personal information.

 

This Policy May Change

 

We are continually improving and adding to the features and functionality of our Sites and the services we offer through our Sites. As a result of these changes (or changes in the law), we may need to update or revise this Policy. Accordingly, we reserve the right to update or modify this Policy at any time, without prior notice, by posting the revised version of this Policy behind the link marked “Privacy Policy” at the bottom of each page of our Sites. Your continued use of our Sites after we have posted the revised Policy constitutes your agreement to be bound by the revised Policy. However, we will honor the terms that were in effect when we gathered data from you.

 

For your convenience, whenever this Policy is changed, we will update the “Last Revised” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page to ensure you are familiar with our most updated Policy. 

 

You may access the current version of this Policy at any time by clicking the link marked “Privacy Policy” at the bottom of each page of our Sites.
