This policy applies only to information collected through our Site and not to information collected offline.
What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
Contact Forms
We may collect and store personal information that you choose to voluntarily provide to us when you contact us, such as when you sign up for our mailing list or download our equipment list. Personal information may include your name or company name, residential or business address, email address, and phone number. We use the information you provide to send you the communications that you request.
If you communicate with Polaris Direct, LLC through the “Contact Us” link on our Site, we may ask you for information such as your name, email address, and telephone number so we can respond to your questions and comments. We may also use the information you provide so that we can communicate with you about topics we think may be of interest to you.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our Site you may opt-in to saving your name and email address in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another message.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles on our Site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics Data
We may directly collect analytics data, or use third-party Service Providers (such as Google Analytics), to monitor and analyze the use of our Site.
Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. This may involve collecting information sent by your browser or mobile device, including pages you visit and other information that assists us in improving the Site. We collect and use this analytics information in aggregate form such that it cannot be reasonably manipulated to identify any particular individual user.
By using our Site, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google as outlined in their privacy policy. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell or otherwise disclose personal information we collect about you, except as described herein or otherwise disclosed to you at the time the data is collected.
We may disclose information about you as compelled or required by law, to law enforcement authorities or other government officials, to protect or defend our legal rights, or in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities or suspected fraud, or violations to our Terms and Conditions for using this Site or other applicable policies.
We also reserve the right to transfer personal information we have about you in the event that we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business assets.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a message, the message and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up messages automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that request to be on our mailing list, we store your data on a secure internal database.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have requested to be on our mailing list, or have left a message on our Site, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
