This website is owned and operated by AMCO Gutters. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors while they interact with the content and services on this site (the “Site”). As a company comprised of dedicated professionals, we understand, as people, the important issues regarding online privacy, protection of personal information, and striving for the most secure networks and electronic communication systems possible.
This Privacy Policy applies to the Site only. It does not apply to any other Websites to which we may link, if any. Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we want you to understand what information we collect about you, how we collect it, how that information is used, and how you can control our disclosure of it. You agree that your use of the Site signifies your assent to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Site.
1) Information Collected
We collect two types of information from you: i) information that you voluntarily provide to us (e.g. through a voluntary registration process, sign-ups or emails); and ii) information that is derived through automated tracking mechanisms.
Voluntary Registration Information
In order to fully access any customer account systems, blogs or forums (if our site hosts them at any given time), you must first complete the registration process, during which we will collect personal information about you. The information may include your name, address, and email address, or other identifying information. We do not collect personally identifiable information about you except when you specifically provide such information to us on a voluntary basis. By registering with us, you consent to the use and method of disclosure as described in this Privacy Policy.
Voluntary Information for Services and Features
We also collect personally identifiable information when you choose to use certain other features of the Site, including: i) making electronic payments (as and if available), ii) consenting to receive email or text messages about upcoming promotions or events, iii) requesting/consenting to receive email, iv) participating in any online promotions we may provide (if any), iv) commenting on articles, and others. When you choose to use these additional features, we require you to provide your “Contact Information” in addition to other personal information that may be required to complete a transaction such as your phone number, billing and shipping addresses and credit card information. Occasionally, we may also request information such as your account preferences and demographics which will help us better serve you and our other users in the future.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. AMCO Gutters may use cookies to store visitor’s preferences and to record session information. We do not and will not use cookies to collect private information from any user that such user did not intentionally submit to us.
Most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. If a user’s system is idle for a defined time, the cookie will expire, forcing the user to sign in again to continue their session. This prevents unauthorized access to the user’s information while they are away from their computer.
You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser, but please note that if you choose to erase or block your cookies, you will need to re-enter your original user ID and password to gain access to certain parts of the Site that are controlled or accessible only by proper log-in procedures (such as when making an online order, checking design status or other similar activities, if and when such systems are offered, if ever).
2) Site Referrals
Certain areas of the Site may include electronic referral forms, newsletter sign ups, and similar features. If any such feature is activated, you may choose to invite colleagues/friends to visit the AMCO Gutters Site by sending invitation emails via the invite feature. Our Website stores the email addresses you provide so that the respondents may be added to optional social networks, confirm orders/purchases and also to send reminders of the invitations. If utilized at any point in the past, present or future, AMCO Gutters has not, does not and will not sell these email addresses or use them to send any other communication besides invitations, invitation reminders or other prudent bulletins (including newsletters). Recipients of invitations, newsletters and other such content may contact AMCO Gutters to request removal of their information from our database.

4) How We Protect Your Information
We are committed to protecting the information we receive from you.

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we maintain appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information and data stored on our system.

Any such advertisements, product announcement or partner bulletins appearing on this Site may be delivered to you by AMCO Gutters or one of our Web advertising or promotion partners (such as a pharmaceutical company). Our Web advertising partners may set cookies. Doing this allows the advertising partners to recognize your computer each time they send you an advertisement.
