• To help maintain the safety, security, and integrity of our website and online services, products, databases and other technology assets.
• For internal administrative purposes, such as auditing, data analysis, and research to improve our products, services, and customer communications. This includes processing for purposes of statistical analysis, including Google Analytics.

If you withdraw your consent it will not affect any processing of your personal data that has already occurred.

B. Collection and Use of Non-Personal Data
Non-Personal Data Collected
When you use our website and online services, we also collect certain non-personal data that does not, on its own, identify any individual. The types of non-personal data we collect and process include:

• Log data. When you use or interact with our website and online services, our servers record certain information that is automatically reported by your browser (such as Safari, Chrome, or Firefox) or device each time you request our website and online services, or when content is downloaded to your browser or device from our website and online services. This log data includes your IP address; Internet service provider; browser type and settings; device information; referring/exiting URL; request/response date and time; clickstream data; device ID or advertising ID; and data contained in first-party cookies and similar technologies. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal data by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal data.
• Location data. Depending on the website and online services and your computer or device permissions, we may collect information about your device’s approximate (e.g., country or zip code) or precise location.
• Cookie data. Our website and online services use cookies, statistical identifiers, and similar technologies (referred to as “cookies and similar technologies”) to collect and store certain nonpersonal data (such as log data, location data, and cookie data) when you visit or interact with our website and online services to help us secure our website and online services, as well as the information processed by our website and online services; monitor and enhance the performance of our website and online services; better understand user behavior; and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and website features.

These cookies and similar technologies, including their use on our website and online services and your choices regarding such use, are further described under our Notice on Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies.
• Aggregated data. In addition, when we aggregate or anonymize information (including personal data), such aggregated or anonymized information is considered non-personal data for the purposes of this privacy notice.

Please see our Notice on Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies to learn more about our use of cookies and similar technologies, the types of data collected through these technologies, and your choices regarding their use on our website and online services.

Use of Non-Personal Data
We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal data for any purpose. However, if we combine non-personal data with personal data, the combined information will be treated as personal data for as long as it remains combined. We use non-personal data for legitimate business purposes, some of which are described below:

• We collect log data, location data, and cookie data so that we can better understand website user behavior and improve our products, services, and advertising.
• PRO-TECH and our online partners use cookies and similar technologies to remember personal data when you use our website and online services. Our goal in these cases is to make your experience with PRO-TECH more convenient and personal. Knowing your country and language helps us provide a customized and more useful website experience.
• We collect information regarding user activities on our website and online services. This information is aggregated and used to help us provide more useful information to our customers and website users, and to understand which parts of our website and online services are of most interest.
• We use non-personal data (including log data, location data, and cookie data) to understand and analyze trends, to administer the website and online services, to learn about user behavior on the website and online services, to improve our products and services, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
• We may also collect similar data from emails sent to you to help us track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the PRO-TECH website and online services. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our website and online services. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in the email messages.
• We may also use non-personal data (including log data, location data, and cookie data) to maintain and improve our website and online services; verify and authenticate users of our website and online services; prevent fraud and secure our website and online services and databases; facilitate product and service delivery; remember and analyze user preferences and interests; track and measure website and online service performance and effectiveness; develop and improve our products and services; deliver ads relevant to user interests or based on user location, demographics or device characteristics; and for any other purpose described in this privacy notice or our Notice on Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies.

II. How Personal Data is Shared and Transferred
We disclose your personal data to third parties who provide us with various business services (e.g., monitoring and maintaining our website or internal business applications, and preparing emails).
These service providers and contractors are restricted from using this personal data in any way other than to provide services on our behalf and subject to our documented instructions only. We may also share your personal data with PRO-TECH affiliates (e.g., for internal administrative purposes or where a PRO-TECH affiliate supports a particular business function).

We may also disclose information we collect to legal counsel, law enforcement, and other appropriate authorities in special cases, including: (i) when we have a reason to believe that such disclosure is necessary to identify, contact, or bring a legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with our rights and property or those of any other person; or (ii) when we believe that it is required by applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations.

III. How We Protect Personal Data
We provide reasonable technical, physical, and organizational safeguards to protect your personal data, including safeguards designed to protect personal data from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed which may lead to physical, material or non-material damage. To the extent appropriate or required by applicable law, these security measures include:

• Access to personal data is limited to authorized employees and service providers who need access to perform the activities described in this privacy notice on our behalf.
• Personal data is anonymized where appropriate or required by law, and sensitive personal data transferred to or stored on any mobile device is encrypted using industry-accepted encryption solutions.
• PRO-TECH personnel engaged in the processing of personal data are informed of the confidential nature of personal data, receive appropriate training on their responsibilities, and are obligated pursuant to PRO-TECH policy to maintain the confidentiality of personal data.
• The effectiveness of PRO-TECH security measures is regularly tested, assessed, and evaluated to ensure the ongoing security of processing systems.
• Internet-connected databases containing personal data are monitored for unauthorized intrusions using network-based and/or host-based intrusion detection mechanisms.
• Service providers and other third parties engaged by us to process personal data on our behalf are contractually obligated to process personal data only on our documented instructions and must provide similar security measures as those used by PRO-TECH or as required under applicable law.

Although we strive to provide reasonable and appropriate security for the personal data we process and maintain, no security system can prevent all potential security breaches. In particular, email or forms sent using our website and online services may not be secure. You should take special care before deciding to send us information via email. Further, if you create an account through our website and online services, it is your responsibility to protect your access credentials from unauthorized access or use.

IV. How You can Opt-Out of Data Collection/Usage
You have various rights with respect to the collection, use, transfer and processing of your personal data, as described below. However, we reserve the right to limit these rights at any time where permitted under applicable law, including where your identity cannot be reasonably verified or to the extent your rights adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

I. Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website and online services use cookies and similar technologies to collect and store certain non-personal data (such as log data, location data, and cookie data) when you visit or interact with our website and online services to help us secure our website and online services, as well as the information processed by our website and online services; monitor and enhance the performance of our website and online services; better understand user behavior; and facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and website features. These cookies and similar technologies include:

• Cookies. Cookies are small text files that are sent to and stored by your browser when you visit or interact with our website and online services. These cookies are then sent back unchanged to the party that served the cookie each time you visit or interact with our website and online services (which includes our ads on third-party sites) for the party that served the cookie to recognize your browser or device. Cookies are either first-party cookies or third-party cookies. “First-party cookies” are sent to your browser by the party that operates the site you are visiting (e.g., cookies served by PRO-TECH when you visit our website). “Third-party cookies” are sent to your browser by any party other than the party that operates the site you are visiting (e.g., cookies sent by our online partners, such as Google Analytics, when you visit our website).
  Further, when we use cookies, we may use “session” cookies (that last until you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (that last until you or your browser delete them). Some of the cookies we use on our website and online services may be associated with your personal data (such as your email address) and other cookies are not. However, if we associate non-personal data (such as cookie data) with personal data, the combined information will be treated as personal data for as long as it remains combined.
• Statistical Identifiers. Statistical identifiers refer to identifiers created using certain device information and log data. Collectively, this information makes your browser or device sufficiently distinct for a server or similar system to reasonably determine that it is encountering the same browser or device over time. Statistical identifiers enable us and our partners to uniquely identify your browser or device for the same purposes as cookies. Statistical identifiers may be associated with your personal data (such as your email address). However, if we associate nonpersonal data with personal data, the combined information will be treated as personal data for as long as it remains combined.

II. How Cookies and Similar Technologies are Used
Cookies and similar technologies used on our website and online services (including the information
obtained through such use) fall into four categories:

Essential
Our website and online services utilize first- and third-party cookies and similar technologies that are necessary to operate our business and maintain our website and online services, including verifying and authenticating website users; preventing fraud and securing our website and online services and databases; enabling users to move around our website and online services and use their features; and complying with applicable laws and industry standards. These cookies and similar technologies do not gather information about you that could be used for marketing or tracking your browsing activity. This category of cookies generally cannot be disabled.

Performance
Our website and online services may utilize first- and third-party cookies and similar technologies to provide enhanced features and remember user preferences, including identifying return users when visiting our website (e.g., to remember your login credentials); keeping track of user preferences, interests, and past items viewed or utilized (e.g., preferred language or past purchases); and providing social features that allow users to interact with social media services through our website and online services (e.g., LinkedIn, Facebook or YouTube).

Analytics
Our website and online services may utilize first- and third-party cookies and similar technologies for analytics and market research purposes, including analyzing how users arrive at and engage with our website and online services; tracking and measuring the performance and effectiveness of our website and online services; optimizing the location of ads, website features, and other content on our website and online services; statistical reporting in connection with website activity; analyzing user preferences and behaviors and market characteristics and trends in order to develop and improve our products and services, websites, and ads; segmenting audiences to test features of our website and online services; and conducting research about our customers, products, and online services.

Advertising
Our website and online services may utilize first- and third-party cookies and similar technologies to deliver, track, and measure ads both on and off our website and online services, including ads relevant to your interests (e.g., ads based on your past interaction with our website or based on predictions about your interests derived from your browsing activities on different websites over time); and ads based on your location, demographics, or device characteristics. Cookies are also used for tracking and measuring the reach and frequency of ads and regulating the delivery of such ads (e.g., capping the number of times you see a particular ad).

III. Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies by Our Online Partners
We may use vendors and other online partners to perform some of the Essential, Performance, Analytics, and Advertising activities described above, including to provide audience measurement and analytics services, to serve ads on our behalf on our website and online services and on thirdparty sites, and to track and report on the performance of such ads. These online partners may use third-party cookies and similar technologies to collect and store certain log data, location data,
cookie data and other information when you visit or interact with our website and online services and other unaffiliated sites in order to identify your browser or device and provide their respective services. Further, these online partners may combine data collected on our website and online services with information collected on unaffiliated sites or with any other data maintained by these online partners. Their use of data collected on our website and online services and third-party sites will be subject to their own terms of use and privacy policies.

For example, we may use third-party cookies to deliver our ads on third-party websites through a common form of online advertising known as “retargeting.” Retargeting works by serving ads on one website based on an individual’s activities on a different website (e.g., if you view a product or service on our website, you may later see ads for our products and services when you visit a thirdparty website). To do this, we allow our online partners (such as Google or other ad network vendors) to serve their own third-party cookies when users visit our website and online services, allowing these online partners to recognize users who have previously visited our website and online services. When these users visit a third-party website that includes features provided by our online partners (e.g., where our online partners have purchased ad space), our online partners can recognize the users’ interest in our products and services and deliver one of our ads on the thirdparty website.

IV. Your Cookie Choices
Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. However, browsers typically allow individuals to remove or block browser cookies if they choose. For more information on blocking and removing browser cookies, please review your browser’s Settings or Preferences tab.

In addition to removing and blocking browser cookies generally, the following opt-out mechanisms may be available if our website and online services utilize the third-party cookies listed below:

• Google Analytics. Our website and online services may use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google. Google Analytics utilizes cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about the performance and use of our website and online services. More information on Google Analytics can be found here. If you would like to opt-out of having your information collected and used as described, please use the Google Analytics opt-out available here.
• Google Remarketing. Our website and online services may use Google’s Remarketing with Google Analytics to allow Google to use information about your visits to our website and online services and other unaffiliated websites to measure advertising effectiveness and serve ads about our products and services that may be of interest to you. As described above, Google places its own cookies when users visit our website and online services which enable Google to recognize users who have previously visited our website and online services when such users visit other unaffiliated sites that also use Google’s services and cookies. More information on Google’s Remarketing with Google Analytics can be found here. If you would like to opt-out of having your information collected and used as described, please use the Google Analytics optout available here.
• Interest Based Advertising. Our website and online services may use first- and third-party cookies and similar technologies for targeted advertising based on user interests, demographics, and past browsing activity. If you would like to opt-out of having your information collected and used by us for these purposes, please visit: here or here if you’re in the United States.

The list above identifies some of the third-party cookies we may use on our website and online services. However, we may use other third-party cookies and similar technologies on our website and online services that are not listed here. This list is subject to change at any time and without notice.

V. Social Plugins
Our website and online services may use social plugins (e.g., the Facebook “Like” button or LinkedIn “Share” button) to enable you to easily share information with others. When you visit our website and online services, the operator of the social plugin may be able to place a cookie on your browser or device, enabling that operator to recognize users who have previously visited our Service. If you have previously logged into the associated social media website (e.g., Facebook or LinkedIn) before visiting our website and online services, the social plugin allows that social media website to receive information about your visit to particular pages on our website and online services. The social plugin may collect this information for any such users who have logged into social networks, whether or not they specifically interact with the plugin on our website and online services (e.g., by clicking “Like” or “Share”). The social plugin may also allow the social media website to share information about your activities on our website and online services with other users of their social media website. For further details about the information shared via a particular social media plugin, you should refer to that social media site’s privacy policies and terms of use.

VI. Do Not Track (DNT)
There are different ways you can prevent tracking of your online activity. One of them is setting a preference in your browser that alerts websites you visit that you do not want them to collect certain information about you. This is referred to as a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) signal. Please note that currently our website and online services do not respond to these signals from web browsers. At this time, there is no universally accepted standard for what a company should do when a DNT signal is detected.
