This privacy notice governs the privacy practices of https://www.reviewsofjeep.com/. It outlines how we manage personal data (PD) and non-personal data (NPD) collected from you, encompassing collection methods, protective measures, sharing protocols, access and modification procedures, limitations on sharing, and your legal rights. Capitalized terms hold the same meaning as defined elsewhere on our website.
Data We Collect: Personal and Non-Personal
We collect both PD and NPD. Non-personal data (NPD) constitutes information that lacks any personally identifiable connection. Conversely, personal data (PD) represents any information tied to an identified or identifiable natural person. PD encompasses a broader spectrum of data compared to NPD.
Depending on your interaction with our website, we collect various types of information. As a visitor, meaning someone simply browsing the website, we automatically gather information from your web browser or mobile device. This includes details like the referring website (if any), the website you’ll visit after leaving ours, your computer’s IP address or proxy server information, your internet service provider, your browser and mobile device type, your operating system, and data regarding your browsing activity on our site. We use this information to analyze user trends and enhance our website.
For members, those registered to utilize or purchase our services and products, we collect more specific information. This includes your first and last name, email address, physical address, payment details (like credit card information), phone number, and other necessary data.
Data Collection Methods: Automatic and User-Provided
We employ both automatic and user-provided methods to collect data. Automatic data collection occurs through your web browser or mobile device, as explained above. We also utilize cookies. A cookie is a small file placed on your computer or mobile device when you access certain websites. Cookies may contain text readable by the web server that issued it, typically a sequence of letters and numbers uniquely identifying your device. They may also contain other information. By using our website, you grant us and our partners permission to place, store, and access cookies on your computer.
User-provided data is collected when you voluntarily submit information to us, such as when signing up for our newsletter, filling out contact forms, or purchasing products or services. You may be required to provide PD to utilize certain features or make purchases.
We also collect information about your physical location using technologies like GPS and IP tracking. These technologies may also provide us with information about nearby cell towers, Wi-Fi access points, and other devices.
Protecting Your Data: Security Measures and Safeguards
We prioritize the security of your PD. Our website utilizes industry-standard security measures and authentication tools to safeguard this information. We and our third-party service providers also employ technical and physical safeguards to protect your PD. When transmitting sensitive data, such as credit card information, we use industry-standard encryption technology. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee against loss or misuse during internet transmission. It is recommended to always log out of our website when finished, especially when using a public computer.
Data Usage: Providing Services, Improving Our Website, and Marketing
We use the information we collect for various purposes, including providing and personalizing our services, improving our website, and marketing. We use your PD to fulfill orders, process payments, and provide customer support. We also use the data to analyze website traffic and user behavior, which helps us optimize content and user experience.
We may use your email address to provide updates, newsletters, and promotional materials. You can modify your contact preferences at any time through your account settings or by contacting us directly. We do not sell or rent your PD to third parties for marketing purposes. We may, however, use your NPD, which may be sold to other parties at our discretion. Any such data aggregation would not include your PD.
Accessing and Changing Your Data: User Control and Transparency
You can update your PD through services on our website or by contacting us directly. You also have the right to access your PD, request its erasure, and/or restrict its further processing. For specific requests, please contact us.
Limiting Data Sharing: User Choices and Consent
While we may share your PD with third-party service providers for operational purposes, we do not sell or rent it for marketing purposes without your consent. You can limit the sharing of your data by opting out of certain features or communications. You can also revoke your consent for us to use your PD at any time.
Your Legal Rights: GDPR and Other Regulations
You possess certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable laws. These rights include the right to be informed about the data we collect and how we process it, the right to access and rectify your data, the right to request erasure or restriction of processing, and the right to data portability. You also have the right to object to the processing of your data and the right not to be subject to automated decision-making.
