1. INFORMATION COLLECTED

When you use our Site, we collect your Personal Information and non-Personal Information. The types of information we collect from you depend on the Site and the features you use on the Site. Personal Information refers to information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular person or household. Please note that over time, non-Personal Information may become Personal Information due to regulatory developments, technological advancements, or the co-mingling of personal and non-Personal Information. The various types of information we collect from you may include:

  • Purchase Information: We may collect your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, telephone number, credit card number, and expiration date when you make a purchase. This information is used to provide the products and services that you have ordered or requested, to process and ship orders, to send order and shipping confirmations (or other transactional information), and/or to provide customer service.

  • Information Relating to Inquiries: We may collect your name, phone number, and email address if you contact us with a question. This information may be used so that we can respond to your question.

  • Information for Promotions: We may collect your name, email address, and other contact information if you participate in a promotion (e.g., contest, sweepstakes) that we sponsor. This information will be used to fulfill the terms of the promotion and to contact you regarding promotional and special offers, sales, and new features available through the Site. It will also be subject to the terms accompanying such promotion.

  • Survey Information: We may collect your name, age, zip code, shopping habits, email address, and/or mailing address if you choose to participate in one of our online surveys. This information will be used to help provide us with relevant information about our consumers.

  • Usage Information: We may collect usage information passively, while you are visiting or interacting with the site. We call this “passive” collection since you may not know that this information is being collected when you visit or interact with the site. This information may consist of the following items: Site visitors’ IP address, IP address-related information, system Media Access Control address, network configuration information, network device information, browser plug-in type and versions, and operating system. Additionally, like any online site or service, our mobile application automatically collects certain information such as your IP address, device information (e.g., the unique identifier of your mobile device, hardware model, operating system version, mobile network information), and the URL from which you access our application. You are not required to affirmatively submit any Personal Information to us in connection with the general use of our mobile application unless you make a purchase through the application, in which case you must create an account.

  • Information from Other Websites, Including Mobile Applications and Social Media Platforms: If you use a social media platform or your mobile device (or another method of communication) to interact with the Site, that platform or application may have a specific privacy policy that governs the use of Personal Information related to it. For example, if you use a mobile application and your mobile device's settings allow it, we may collect mobile location information from your device. Our application may be designed to collect information even if you are not logged into the application or the Site. If you have questions about the security and privacy settings of your mobile device, please refer to instructions from your mobile service provider or the manufacturer of your device to learn how to adjust your settings. We do not control the data collection or privacy practices of the application stores from which you download our mobile application, or of any third-party platform through which you access our Site or contact us. You should review the privacy policy and terms of use of any third-party site or mobile application store before using or downloading any application and review and use available controls and settings on your device to reflect your preferences.

  • Information from Other Sources: We also may obtain, collect and aggregate information (including Personal Information) provided to us by our marketing service providers and other vendors. That information may include information on current subscribers or customers and is used for a number of things including enabling us to send you the most relevant, timely, and exciting offers and announcements specifically tailored for you and your interests. Of course, you can update your information or change your preferences regarding receiving announcements and other information from us at any time by accessing your account via the Site.

2. COOKIES AND OTHER SESSION IDENTIFIERS

Like many sites, we, and third parties we allow, utilize a technology called "cookies." A cookie is a piece of information that is placed on your browser when you access the Site. In many cases, the information collected using cookies (and related technologies) is used in non-identifiable ways, without any reference to Personal Information. For example, we use the information we collect about users of the Site to optimize our Site and to understand traffic and usage patterns. In other cases, we associate the information we collect using cookies and related technologies with Personal Information. In that case, this Privacy Policy governs how we use that information.

Cookies help provide additional functionality to the Site and help us to more accurately analyze usage of the Site. For instance, the Site may set a cookie on your browser that allows the Site to remember you during future visits. We use cookies to monitor and maintain information about your use of the Site. Cookies are also used to track the identity of the website you visited immediately prior to visiting the Site; other than that, we do not track information about your use of other websites. Cookies also allow us to hold selections in a shopping cart when a user leaves the Site without checking out. Cookies may be session cookies (i.e., last only for one browser session) or persistent cookies (i.e., continue in your browser until they are deleted or expire). Some of the cookies we use may be flash cookies or Adobe cookies. While they are harmless, they may contain demographic information, and depending on your browser these cookies may not normally be deleted when your cookies are deleted. Please check your browser to determine where these types of cookies are stored and how they may be deleted.

Google Analytics — To help facilitate the delivery of relevant content, we use Google Analytics and have implemented all Google Advertising Features, including Remarketing, Impression Reporting, Demographics, and Interest Reporting. Google Analytics uses cookies to report on user interactions on our websites. We use the data collected for optimizing marketing, refining advertising, and generally making advertising more effective. To learn more about Google Analytics privacy practices and opt-out mechanisms, please visit the Google Analytics Security and Privacy Principles page HERE. Google also provides a complete privacy policy and instructions on opting out of Google Analytics HERE.

Google Analytics — This Web Site uses Google Adwords’ free conversion tracking features on certain pages. If you contact us online, the destination page will have code on it that will help us understand the path you took to arrive on that page. You can view how Google Adwords uses your information by visiting their partner privacy policy HERE.

Facebook Pixels — We use the “visitor action pixels” from Facebook Inc on our website. This allows user behavior to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables us to measure the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous to us, i.e. we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, which is why we are informing you, based on our knowledge of the situation. Facebook may link this information to your Facebook account and also use it for its own promotional purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Usage Policy. You can allow Facebook and its partners to place ads on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes. The legal basis for the use of this service is Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter f GDPR. You can object to the collection of your data by Facebook Pixel, or to the use of your data for the purpose of displaying Facebook ads by clicking HERE.

Facebook Custom Audiences — Custom Audience Pixel, a service of Facebook Inc., is a small piece of Javascript code that we have integrated into all of our websites. This piece of code provides a number of functions for the sending of application-specific events and user-defined data to Facebook. We use Custom Audience pixels in order to record information concerning the way in which visitors use our website. This pixel records and provides Facebook with information concerning the browser setting of the user, a hashed version of the Facebook ID, and the URL which is being visited. Each Facebook user thus possesses a clear and device-independent Facebook ID, whereby it is possible to address the user via more than one device on the social network Facebook and to recognize him or her so that we can target our visitors again for advertising purposes by means of Facebook adverts. After 180 days, the user information is deleted until the visitor accesses our website again. Therefore, no personal information is disclosed to Lux Quality Homes Ltd. in relation to the individual website visitors and we can only solicit website customer target groups once the target customer group has reached a critical mass in terms of numbers. Further information concerning Facebook and its private sphere settings above and beyond the details set out can be found in the Data Policy and the Terms of Service of Facebook Inc HERE.
