What Information Does SKG Collect?

When registering and purchasing with our Website, we may collect your name, billing address, shipping address, phone number, e-mail address and other demographic information, in order to provide you Services and process any quotes or orders.

We may also use this information to curate the products, design images, and other items to enhance your experience. Furthermore, the collection of your email address allows us to communicate, ideate, and otherwise update you about activities, new products or services, and general communications as it relates to our Services, user profiles including, but not limited to, images and products added to your account, the status of projects, orders, design or visual surveys, and more. With your consent, we will also use the email address to send our email newsletter and other marketing collateral informing you of news and our other special offers. You are welcome to visit our Website without providing any of this information; however, your use of our Services and the benefits of our expertise will be greatly limited; you will not be able to register as a User, process quotes or orders, nor manage projects without this information.

Standard procedures for the recording and storing of system-identifiable information, to include IP address and geolocation/geocoding data and third-party assimilation and aggregation of this data are covered in subsequent sections of this Privacy Policy. All information described in this section entitled “What information does SKG Collect?” constitutes “Data” for purposes of this Privacy Policy.

How Does SKG Use the Collected Data?

We use the Data collected from you primarily to communicate about various things related to your FOLIO, projects, to process and fulfill quotes and/or orders, to notify you of the status of your orders, to send our e-mail newsletter, or to send you targeted marketing information, special product offers, catalogs or other information that we believe might interest you.

Cookie List

Strictly Necessary Cookies

Essential & Functional Cookies

These cookies are required for the operation of our Website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log in securely to areas of the Website or for the search functionality to work.

These cookies are used for Website functionality, such as to recognize you when you return to our Website. This enables us to personalize our content for you and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region), but are non-essential to the performance of our Website.

Your California Consumer Protection Rights

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, you may have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information to third parties. These cookies collect information for analytics and to personalize your experience with targeted ads. You may exercise your right to opt out of the sale of personal information by using this toggle switch. If you opt out we will not be able to offer you personalized ads and will not hand over your personal information to any third parties. Additionally, you may contact our legal department for further clarification about your rights as a California consumer by using this Exercise My Rights link.

AGE-SPECIFIC

Businesses can only sell the personal information of a child that they know to be under the age of 16 if they get affirmative authorization (“opt-in”) for the sale of the child’s personal information. For children under the age of 13, that opt-in must come from the child’s parent or guardian. For children who are at least 13 years old but under the age of 16, the opt-in can come from the child.

You may request that businesses stop selling your personal information (“opt-out”). With some exceptions, businesses cannot sell your personal information after they receive your opt-out request unless you later provide authorization allowing them to do so again. Businesses must wait at least 12 months before asking you to opt back in to the sale of your personal information.

SKG is not bound by the CCPA 2020 Act, as SKG does not have nexus in the State of California and does NOT meet a direct to consumer threshold as set forth in the CCPA 2020.

If you have enabled privacy controls on your browser (such as a plugin), we have to take that as a valid request to opt-out. Therefore we would not be able to track your activity through the Website. This may affect our ability to personalize ads according to your preferences.

Performance Cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources, so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Website. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we may not know when you have visited our Website.

Other Technologies

As well as cookies, we may use other technologies to recognize and track visitors on our Website. A web beacon (also known as a “tracking pixel” or “clear GIF”) is a clear graphic image (typically a one-pixel tag) that is delivered through a web browser or HTML e-mail, typically in conjunction with a cookie.

Web beacons allows us, for example, to monitor how users move from one page within our Website to another, to track access to our communications, to understand whether users have come to our Website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to measure how ads have been viewed and to improve site performance.

Targeting Advertising

Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) use cookies, over which we have no control.

These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in. They may also employ technology that is used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements.

Because there is not yet a consensus on how companies should respond to web browser-based do-not-track (“DNT”) mechanisms, we do not respond to web browser-based DNT signals at this time.

Changes to this Policy

We keep our Cookie Policy under regular review. We may from time to time amend this Cookie Policy. Questions regarding this Cookie Policy should be directed to us at info@skgtexas.com.
