Ecotech Windows Pro, Inc’s General Policy Regarding Privacy
Ecotech Windows Pro, Inc. (hereinafter “Ecotech” or “we”) respects your expectation of privacy as you use its websites, blogs, social media sites, mobile apps, and online presence and for email and text messages sent and received from Ecotech and any subsidiaries and affiliates. This Privacy Policy applies to personal information and non-personal information we collect on www.ecotech-windows.com and the Ecotech mobile site available on your (or a third party’s device you may use) iPhone or Android operating-system-compatible mobile device that link to this Privacy Policy and any official Ecotech sweepstakes entry forms on third-party sites and applications that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, all the foregoing are referred to as the “Site”).
Ecotech provides this Privacy Policy so you know about its online information practices and understand how Ecotech treats the information it receives from and about you during your visit to the Site. This Privacy Policy is incorporated in Ecotech’s Site Terms and Conditions of Use.
Personal and Non-Personal Information
“Personal Information” means any information that may be used to identify an individual, including, but not limited to names, phone numbers, physical mailing addresses, email addresses, locations, credit information, credit card information, social security numbers, other contact information, or other information describing an individual or a transaction with an individual.
“Non-Personal Information” means information that does not specifically identify an individual or business, but includes information from you, such as your browser type, the URL of the previous website you visited, your Internet service provider (ISP), operating system, and your Internet protocol (IP) Address. Non-Personal Information is not typically used to personally identify you.
The Personal and Non-Personal Information that may be collected by Ecotech is further described below.
Information We Collect
Contact information
We may collect the names and user names of our customers and other visitors. Additionally, we may collect your purchase history, billing and shipping addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and other digital contact information. We may also collect information that you provide us about others. Ecotech may collect Personal Information from you when you provide it to us. For example, if you send an email or submit information via a form on the Site, Ecotech may collect your name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, or any other information you provide.
Communications with you/Promotions
Ecotech may also collect Personal Information if you communicate with Ecotech via means other than the Site, including blogs, social media sites, or other online and offline communications.
Ecotech may collect any information you provide in any such communication.
Ecotech values your opinions and comments, and we may conduct online surveys or polls. Participation in these surveys and polls is always optional. The information is aggregated and used to make improvements to the Site and to develop useful content, features and promotions for Site visitors. The identity of survey or poll participants is anonymous unless the survey or poll either specifically request Personal Information or otherwise states Personal Information is collected.
Ecotech may occasionally request or require that you provide your email address or other identifying information to access portions of the Site or to provide you with communications. Further, Ecotech may collect your email address or other contact information in an offline format (for example, your response to a mailer or filling out an attendance form at a trade show or for entry into a sweepstakes). By providing Ecotech with your email address or any other contact information (such as your mailing address, name, phone number, etc.) you understand and agree that Ecotech may from time to time use the contact information to send you information about products, services, our business, promotions, etc. Further, Ecotech may pass along the information you provide to an Ecotech distributor or service provider who may contact you for various reasons, including but not limited to fulfilling orders or providing you information or assistance that you have requested.
The Site sometimes includes notices of promotions Ecotech is conducting, and Ecotech may permit you to enter electronically in some cases. If that occurs, we will use the information you provide for the purpose of conducting the promotion. Ecotech may retain that information for communicating with you for future promotions or for any other purpose unless we receive communication from you in writing to cease sending you communications.
If you prefer not to receive this kind of information from Ecotech, your request will be promptly honored. Please note, however, that any orders or requests for information made online, or other requests that necessitate a response, will receive confirmation emails related to the status of the orders or requests.
Payment information
When you make a purchase, we collect your payment information, including information from your credit or debit card, check, PayPal (or other payment service provider) account or gift card.
Credit card information is used only for payment processing and fraud prevention. Credit card information and other sensitive personal information required to process a credit decision is not used for any other purpose by Ecotech or our financial services providers and will not be kept by Ecotech longer than necessary for providing the services, unless you ask us to retain your credit card information for future purchases.

Information Collected Automatically by Automated Means
Ecotech, like other website operators, uses analytic and reporting technologies to automatically record Non-Personal Information such as Internet domain and host names, IP addresses, browser software, operating system types, clickstream patterns, the dates and times that the Site was accessed and other information provided through the software used to access the Site. Ecotech may aggregate Non-Personal Information to measure how the Site is being used so we can improve its content.
From time to time Ecotech uses “cookies” and other tracking technologies to, among other things, understand who is visiting the website. Ecotech also uses the information for trends and statistics to improve the website and your experience at the Site. In addition, Ecotech may track when a visitor opens our product catalog or other document in order to make it easier to move back and forth between the catalog or such other document and the rest of the site. Further, Ecotech may contract with third parties who may provide content on the Site that collect cookies.
A “cookie” is a text file that may be used, for example, to collect information regarding a visitor’s website activities. Some cookies and other technologies may serve to recall Personal Information previously indicated by a Web user.

We may use the information collected through automated means to provide a better tailored shopping experience and for market research, data analytics and system administration purposes, such as to determine whether you've visited us before or are new to the Site, and for compliance with our legal obligations, policies and procedures. We also may use this information to target custom content and ads to you on this and other websites.
You may see certain ads on other websites because we participate in advertising networks administered by third parties. These networks track your online activities over time by collecting information through automated means, including through the use of the technologies described in this section, and they use this information to show you advertisements that are tailored to your individual interests. The information they collect includes information about your visits to our Site, such as the pages you have viewed.
