5. ONLINE TRACKING AND ADVERTISING

Our Site automatically gathers certain traffic information, such as Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses and other numeric codes used to identify a computer, which may be considered Personal Data under applicable laws. However, this information is aggregated and may not personally identify you. It is collected to help us improve the Site and the services we offer. For example, we may use IP addresses to monitor Site usage to better prepare for anticipated traffic patterns. We may also gather user information that we save on your computer (not on our server) as “cookies” in order to streamline the Site experience.
We use cookies and other similar technologies to maximize the performance of our Site and services, improve functionality by detecting some features of your device, and to remember your user name, region and language choices you make. If you have registered your product and created a EBCONT America account, we match the information gathered from our cookies with any information you have given us about yourself, or that is stored in your EBCONT America account, or that we have otherwise collected about you for the purposes explained in this Privacy Statement.
For more detailed information about cookies visit https://www.allaboutcookies.org/.
You can opt out from any of these cookies by adjusting your browser settings to reject cookies. If you have previously visited our Site, you may also have to delete any existing cookies from your browser. Many of our cookies are functionality cookies and some of these cookies are managed for us by third parties. You can control the use of these cookies through your browser settings, but if you opt out from them, we may be unable to offer some services or support and we may also be unable to remember your preferences or that you did not want a certain service.
 

Matomo Analytics

We have enabled the Demographics and Interest Reporting feature of Matomo Analytics to collect demographic and interest information about our users. Matomo Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the Site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Site. We use the information we get from Matomo Analytics only to improve our Site and Services. Matomo Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Site, rather than your name or other information. We do not combine the information generated through the use of Matomo Analytics with your Personal Data. Although Matomo Analytics plants a persistent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Matomo. Matomo’s ability to use and share information collected by Matomo Analytics about your visits to the Site is restricted by the Matomo Analytics Terms of Use and the Matomo Privacy Policy. You can opt out of this by clicking here.

 

California Do Not Track Disclosures

Some browsers have incorporated Do Not Track (“DNT”) preferences. Most of these features, when turned on, send signals to the website you are visiting that you do not wish to have information about your online searching and browsing activities collected and used. As there is not yet a common agreement about how to interpret DNT signals, we do not honor DNT signals from web browsers at this time. However, you may refuse or delete cookies as described above.
 

6. SECURITY SAFEGUARDS

EBCONT America will take reasonable steps to protect your Personal Data in our possession from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. For example, we use security measures including safeguarding and monitoring our network and controlling access to our files, equipment, and buildings.
 

7. YOUR CHOICES/OPTING-OUT

You can opt-out of receiving marketing or promotional email messages from us by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” link contained at the bottom of each email.
It is possible that you may be denied access to your Personal Data. For instance, access can be denied when: giving one person access would compromise another’s privacy rights; disclosure is likely to interfere with the safeguarding of national security, defense, or public security; and disclosure could interfere with law enforcement or legal actions. These are only examples, and access may be denied in other situations in compliance with applicable laws. For additional information about EU rights, please see the section below.
 

8. YOUR EU PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you are visiting the Site from the EU or where applicable EU data protection laws so provide, you may exercise the following rights regarding your Personal Data:
ACCESS. You have the right to obtain from us confirmation if your Personal Data is being processed and certain information in this regard.
RECTIFICATION. You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate Personal Data and to have incomplete data completed.
OBJECTION. You have the right, when we process Personal Data on the grounds of legitimate interests, to object to the processing of your Personal Data for compelling and legitimate reasons relating to your particular situation, except in cases where legal provisions expressly provide for that processing. In addition, you have the right to object at any time where your Personal Data is processed for direct marketing purposes.
PORTABILITY. You may receive your Personal Data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit them to other data controllers without hindrance. This right only exists if the processing is based on your consent or a contract and the processing is carried out by automated means.
RESTRICTION. You may request to restrict processing of your Personal Data (i) while we verify your request – if you have contested the accuracy of the Personal Data about you which we hold; (ii) if the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of it and request restriction instead; (iii) if we no longer need it, but you tell us you need it to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim; or (iv) while we verify your request if you have objected to processing based on public or legitimate interest.
ERASURE. You may request to erase your Personal Data if it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we have collected it, you have withdrawn your consent and no other legal ground for the processing exists, you objected and no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing exist, the processing is unlawful, or erasure is required to comply with a legal obligation.
RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU Member State of your residence, or the location where the issue that is the subject of the complaint occurred.
RIGHT TO REFUSE OR WITHDRAW CONSENT. Please note that in case we ask for your consent to certain processing, you are free to refuse to give consent and you can withdraw your consent at any time without any adverse negative consequences. The lawfulness of any processing of your Personal Data that occurred prior to the withdrawal of your consent will not be affected.

 

Information about your Right of Objection under Article 21 of the GDPR

RIGHT OF OBJECTION IN INDIVIDUAL CASES. In addition to the rights already mentioned, you have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of your personal data, where it is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) lit. f) of the GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests). If you file an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can prove compelling grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims. Please also note that, if we terminate the processing due to your objection, the Website may no longer be available to you or only to a limited extent.
YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES. You also have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, including any subscription to our newsletters or personalized ads; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data in the future.
The objection can be filed informally and should be sent to office@ebcont.us.
If you have questions about exercising any of those rights or their applicability to any of our particular processing activities or have questions about any data transfer mechanism or want a copy thereof, you may contact us at office@ebcont.us or at the address provided below.
 

9. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

By using the Site or providing Personal Data to EBCONT America, your Personal Data may be transferred to the United States where EBCONT America is headquartered. If you are not a resident of the United States, your country’s laws governing data collection and use may differ from those in the United States. For example, the data protection laws of the United States have not been found by the European Commission to provide the same level of protection as EU data protection law. Some of the third parties with whom we share your Personal Data are also located in third countries that do not provide the same level of protection to your Personal Data. Certain third countries have been officially recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection (list available here). Transfers to third parties located in countries outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) take place using an acceptable data transfer mechanism, such as the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield for transfers to self-certified U.S. organizations, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, Binding Corporate Rules, approved Codes of Conduct and Certifications or in exceptional circumstances on the basis of permissible statutory derogations. Please contact office@ebcont.us, if you want to receive further information or, where available, a copy of the relevant data transfer mechanism.
