Most browsers collect certain information, such as your IP address, device type, screen resolution, operating system version and internet browser type and version. This information is gathered automatically and stored in log files.
Some browsers have a “do not track” feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. Certain state laws require that we indicate whether we honor “Do Not Track” settings in your browser. We adhere to the standards set out in this Statement and do not monitor or follow any Do Not Track browser requests because there is no formal “Do Not Track” standard. However, we do respond to the Global Privacy Control signal for U.S. residents, as described further under YOUR DATA RIGHTS.
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights, such as to request access to or correction of your Personal Information that we hold about you. To make a request, please contact us using the information provided in the CONTACT US section below.
United States Residents. U.S. state data protection laws grant certain U.S. individuals data rights dependent upon their jurisdiction, including in California, Nevada, and Virginia. Though the laws differ by jurisdictions, these rights include:
If you would like to exercise your rights as described above, or if you would like to request to receive an electronic copy of your Personal Information for purposes of transmitting it to another company (to the extent these rights are provided to you by applicable law), you may contact us via sales@controls.com. We will respond to your request consistent with applicable law.
In your request, please make as clear as possible what Personal Information your request relates to. Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your Personal Information. You may also make a request to know or delete on behalf of your child.
Certain data protection laws limit the ability to make a request to know to twice within a 12-month period, and allow us to charge a reasonable fee for responding to numerous requests from the same user. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you. We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within any applicable legally required timeframes.
You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to Personal Information associated with that specific account.
We will only use Personal Information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it.
