Privacy Policy
We are committed to safeguarding customer information. To better serve your needs now and in the future, we may ask you to voluntarily provide us with certain personal information. You have a right to know how we utilize the personal information you provide. Therefore, we have adopted a privacy policy to govern the use and handling of your personal information.
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit https://www.smartsettlements.com (our “Site”).
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit our Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse our Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to our Site, and information about how you interact with our Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
– “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
– “Google Analytics” are features of Google to analyze user activity in order to help us understand how our customers use our Site so that we can improve our Site. For example, we can use cookies to look at aggregate patterns like the average number of page visits and searches that users perform. We can use such analysis to gain insights about how to improve the functionality and user experience of our Site–you can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
You may opt-out of Google Analytics including AdWords and opt-out of customized Google Display Network ads by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager. To provide website visitors more choice on how their data is collected by Google Analytics, Google has developed an Opt-out Browser add-on, which is available by visiting Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, to enable you to opt-out of Google’s programs.
We collect personal information including names, addresses, phone numbers and emails through web forms on our Site.
When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, we are talking both about Device Information and Personal Information.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with our Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
SHARING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
As described above, we may use your Personal Information to provide you with marketing communications we believe may be of interest to you. For more information about how targeted advertising works, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (“NAI”) educational page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.
