PRIVACY POLICY
KSR NY ("we," "our," or "us") places a high priority on safeguarding your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding data collection and usage to enhance our services and improve user experience on our Website and Service. Terms not explicitly defined in this Privacy Policy are ascribed their meanings as specified in our Terms of Use. This Privacy Policy is an integral part of our Terms of Use.
When you use our Website and/or Service, you agree to our practices of gathering, storing, using, and sharing your personal information as detailed in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information Categories We Gather
Our collection encompasses both “Personal Information” and “Anonymous Information” from users. Personal Information refers to data that can identify or contact you, such as your name, email address, and phone number, and also includes any information linked to such identifying data. In contrast, Anonymous Information comprises data that cannot be used to contact or identify you and is not connected to your Personal Information. This includes information collected passively about your interactions with the Website and Service, like usage patterns, provided that this data is not associated with your Personal Information.
Most of our Website can be navigated without revealing Personal Information, but as is common with many website operators, we automatically collect some information from your devices, such as your IP address, browser specifics, and/or a unique device identifier (“UDID”).
a. Information Provided Voluntarily
We collect data that you willingly share with us while using the Website and/or Service. This includes occasions when you request pricing information for a listing, reach out to us, or sign up for our mailing list.
b. Technologically Gathered Information
During your use of the Website and Service, we might gather data such as your hardware model, browser type, operating system, Internet Protocol (IP) address, and domain name. If you're on a mobile device, KSR NY may also obtain your UDID or a similar unique identifier, and your mobile operating system. This information may be linked with your Personal Information. Additionally, we utilize tools like cookies to collect information. "Cookies" are tiny data files sent to your device by a website while you are viewing it. We might use session Cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent Cookies (which remain until you delete them) to enhance your experience. Persistent Cookies can be removed by following your web browser’s instructions.
We employ third-party services such as Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to monitor and analyze the online behavior of Users. These services aid in enhancing, targeting, and serving ads based on your visits to our Website. This helps us understand your usage of the Website and Service, aiming to improve the user experience and guide our business and marketing strategies. To opt out of Google Analytics, you can download the necessary browser plugin at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. Users can also opt out of interest-based advertising from third parties by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative at www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.
• Interaction via social media platforms, like following us, sharing content, or contacting us through Facebook or other sites, allows us to receive information about you, such as your profile data, photo, user ID of the social media account, and any other information permitted by the social network for third-party sharing.
