Our online services intended to provide information and to collect information only from those over the age of 18.  People under the age of 18 are prohibited to provide any information on or through our online services.  If we learn that we have collected or received personal information from a child under the age of 18, without verified parental consent, we will delete the information collected.  We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from or about children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly market our products or services to children under the age of 18.

The way we collect this data depends on how you use our online services, request product samples, request quotes, or contact us.  Some data is collected automatically as you interact with our online services.  Other data is collected directly from you (such as information you provide for a specific purpose, request, etc.) or with your consent.  Where required by law, we will obtain your consent for the collection and processing of your information (such as for the purpose of direct marketing).  An overview of all possible ways in which data can be collected is listed below:

Our online services may automatically record certain information through the use of cookies.  Unless you adjust your browser settings to refuse the use of cookies, our online services will issue cookies when you are on our website.  We may use Google Analytics, which uses cookies and/or text files that are stored on your computer that allow an analysis of your use of our website.  The information generated by Google Analytics is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States, where it is also stored.  In case of activation of the IP anonymization, Google will truncate/anonymize IP addresses within members of the European Union prior to storing.

It is necessary for us to collect certain data.  For example, we cannot contact you unless we have your e-mail address, name, or telephone number, and we need an address to which product samples can be shipped.  In addition, we also collect certain data for marketing purposes.  An overview of possible reasons we collect your data is listed below:

• To provide the samples, quotes, and/or services you request (such as quotations, recommended layouts, product samples, product literature, offers, etc.)

• To manage your accounts and provide you with support/customer service
• To assess our existing or potential business relationship
• To enforce our terms and conditions
• To conduct sales and marketing activities, including, but not limited to, pursuing marketing prospects, conducting market research, evaluating our advertising effectiveness and managing our brand
• To manage our business

• To provide you with the best and most personal customer experience
• To improve your surfing and experience of our online services

We store your data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes mentioned in this Privacy Policy, in accordance with reasonable business practices and applicable laws.

We take appropriate security measures (such as physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards) to protect any data we collect from unauthorized or inappropriate access.  We restrict access to information about you to those workers who need to know the information in order to achieve the purposes mentioned in this Privacy Policy.

You have the right to know and/or view what data, if any, we have collected and to have it changed, updated, or deleted.  You also have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your data at any time, but withdrawal of this consent may have consequences for current agreements between you and us.  You can exercise these rights by submitting a request via email or phone call:

• Email us at info@sunballast.com
• Call us toll-free at +1 786 885 0380

We do not sell your data to third parties.

If you object to how we handle your data, you also have the right to submit a complaint to the appropriate data protection authority.  Links to data protection authorities are provided below.

Generally, we will not share any data we collect with third parties except as outlined below.  For example, we may share your data with authorized business or support partners or third party service providers that, on our behalf, perform certain services, such as providing customer support and marketing assistance, performing sales analysis, supporting the functionality of our website, fulfilling your requests, and management of contests, promotions and surveys.  These third parties will have access to your information to the extent needed in order to perform their services, but the third parties are not permitted to share or use your information for any purposes besides those outlined in this privacy policy.  We will never sell your data to a third party for the third party’s marketing use.

Additionally, we may disclose personal information about you:

• If it is necessary to a transaction or request you have made
• If we are required to do so by law or court order
• If we must comply with a legitimate legal request by a legal authority or government official
