The information we learn from customers helps us personalize and continually improve your Tank Ties experience. Here are the types of information we gather.
Information You Give Us: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customizing your experience, improving our service, and communicating with you.
Information We May Receive from Third Parties: We may receive information about you from third parties. For example, if you access our Site through a third-party connection or log-in, for example, through Facebook Connect, by “following,” “liking,” adding the Tank Ties application, linking your account to the Tank Ties Platform, etc., that third party may pass certain information about your use of its service to Tank Ties. This information could include, but is not limited to, the user ID associated with your account (for example, your Facebook UID), an access token necessary to access that service, any information that you have permitted the third party to share with us, and any information you have made public in connection with that service. If you allow us access to your friends list, your friends’ user IDs, and your connection to those friends, may be used and stored to make your experience more social, and to allow you to invite your friends to use our Site as well as provide you with updates if and when your friends join Tank Ties. You should always review, and if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on third-party websites and services before linking or connecting them to the Tank Ties Platform. You may also unlink your third party account from the Site by adjusting your settings on the third party service.
Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many Web sites, we use “cookies,” and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses Tank Ties.com or advertisements and other content served by or on behalf of Tank Ties.com on other Web sites.
Mobile: When you download or use apps created by Tank Ties or our subsidiaries, we may receive information about your location and your mobile device, including a unique identifier for your device. We may use this information to provide you with location-based services, such as deal information, advertising, search results, and other personalized content. Most mobile devices allow you to turn off location services.
E-mail Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open or click on an e-mail from Tank Ties.com if your computer supports such capabilities. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your Communication Preferences.

Cookies
A cookie is a small text file created by a Website that stores information on your computer, such as your preferences when visiting that Website. Cookies also measure usage of various pages on our Website to help us make our information more pertinent to your needs and easy for you to access, and they help us provide products or services that we believe would be of interest and value to you.

You may set your browser to block cookies (consult the instructions for your particular browser on how to do this), although doing so will adversely affect your ability to perform certain actions, use certain functionalities and access certain content on our Website.
We may employ a software technology called Google Analytics, that helps us better manage content on our Website by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on Web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customers’ personally identifiable information.
We may use a third-party tracking service that uses cookies to track non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our Website in the aggregate.

We will not share your Personal Information with any other third-parties or unaffiliated companies. We will not release information about our customers or former customers unless one of the following conditions is met:

This service provider is prohibited from using your email address for any purpose other than to send email on our behalf.
Security
Because we are committed to keeping your Personal Information secure, we limit the collection and use of your Personal Information to what we believe would be useful to tell you about our products and services and to otherwise conduct our business. In addition, we educate our employees to appreciate the importance of confidentiality and privacy. We also maintain appropriate physical, electronic and procedural safeguards, security standards and procedures that meet or exceed industry standards. All personal and general information that we collect is stored on a secure server that is protected by firewalls designed to block unauthorized outside access. Because laws applicable to personal information may vary by jurisdiction, we may implement additional measures that vary depending on the legal requirements applicable in a particular jurisdiction. Information collected on our Website is generally processed and stored in the United States. The security of your Personal Information is important to us. When you enter sensitive information on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and use SSL encryption whenever we transmit your sensitive information.
