The Information We Collect

We may from time to time collect information about you from which you can be identified – including your name, address, telephone number, email address, and other information incidental to providing services to you – as well as information that can be reasonably linked to information that identifies you (“Personal Information”). We may collect information from or about you, for example when you:

We may also collect information about you from sources including interactions with social media and use of other websites that display our advertisements.

When you use the Site, your device is automatically providing information to us so we can respond and customize our response to you. The type of information we collect by automated means generally includes technical information about your device, such as IP address, Internet service provider (“ISP”) data, device identifier, device type, and operating system version. This may include information and statistics about your interaction with the Site including the URLs of our web pages that you visited, URLs of referring and exiting pages, page views, time spent per page, number of clicks, platform information, location data (if you have enabled access to your location), and other information about how you used the Site.

Automated means of data collection include the following:

• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: Technologies such as: cookies, web beacons, locally shared objects (sometimes called “flash cookies”), mobile identifiers and similar technologies (collectively “Cookies”) are used by SL Advisory and our partners. We use Cookies to remember users’ settings as well as for authentication and analytics. These technologies may be used in analyzing trends, administering the Site, tracking users’ movements around the Site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Our partners may also use such technologies to deliver advertisements to you. You can control the use of Cookies at the individual browser level, but if you choose to disable Cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functions on our website or service. For more information regarding the use of Cookies, please see the additional guidelines printed below.
• Log File Information: Log file information is automatically reported by your browser or mobile application each time you access a website on the Site. For example, when you access a SL Advisory website, our servers automatically record certain information that your web browser sends when you visit any website. These server logs include information such as your web request, IP address, browser type, referring / exit pages and URLs, number of clicks, domain names, landing pages and pages viewed.
• Device Information: We collect information about the device you use to access the Site, including type of device, operating system, settings, and unique device identifiers, and IP address. Whether we collect some or all of this information often depends on what type of device you’re using and its settings. For example, different types of information are available depending on whether you’re using a Mac or a PC, or an iPhone or Android phone. We collect the device type and any other information you choose to provide, such as username, geolocation or email address. We also use mobile analytics software to allow us to better understand the functionality of our mobile software on your phone. This software records information such as how often you use the application, the events that occur within the application, aggregated usage, performance data and where the application was downloaded from. We do not link the information we store within the analytics software to any personally identifiable information you submit within the mobile application.

We may use this information to analyze trends, administer the Site, detect fraud or other types of abuse and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We may associate this information with your personally identifiable information to resolve technical issues, support security for our users and/or take action on any activity that may violate the Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Offers and Advertising

The Site may contain advertisements or other links that are targeted to your needs and interests. These advertisements may link directly to third-party websites. SL Advisory has no control over the content or privacy policies of such websites, and therefore we encourage you to review such content and policies prior to submitting any Personal Information to them. We share certain aggregate information, such as demographic information and the number of times users have viewed an advertisement, with our third-party advertisers.

Google Analytics

The Site makes use of Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. The Site may also make use of other Google Analytics for Display Advertising features, including Remarketing, Google Display Network Impression Reporting and/or the DoubleClick Campaign Manager integration.

We are required by Google to disclose the following information to you in our Privacy Policy in connection with our use of any Google Analytics for Display Advertising features on our Site:

• You may opt out of Google Analytics for Display Advertising or customize Google Display Network ads by using the Google Ads Settings page. You may also prevent your data from being collected and used by Google Analytics by opting out through the use of the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• If the Site makes use of the Google Analytics for Display Advertising Remarketing feature, SL Advisory will use such Remarketing feature to advertise online and third party vendors, including Google, may show SL Advisory ads on sites across the Internet.
• SL Advisory and third party vendors, including Google, may use first-party Cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party Cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to (a) inform, optimize and serve ads based on a user’s past visits to the Site, and/or (b) report how your ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to the Site.
• Data from Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting may be utilized by SL Advisory to help recognize and understand user preferences, to make improvements to the Site, to choose content and advertising to display to you, and for other business purposes that will allow us to better serve you.

We do not honor “Do Not Track” (also known as “DNT”) signals or similar mechanisms transmitted by your web browsers. More information about browser tracking signals and Do Not Track signals can be found at http://allaboutdnt.org.

Protecting Children

We take special care to protect the safety of children in accordance to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998. While our Site is a general audience website, we do not permit children under the age of 13 to register or purchase any products or services. We also do not collect or maintain Personal Information about children under the age of 13.

Cookies and Other Technical Information

Like many organizations, we place a “cookie” (a small data file) on the hard drive of your computer when you first connect to the Site to help us analyze web traffic and improve the content or functions of the Site. The cookie lets us know that you have visited our Site before, and recognizes you so that you can avoid re-entering information each time you visit the Site.  The cookie also helps us analyze the use of our Site.

You can set your browser to refuse Cookies from the Site. However, some portions of the Site will not function properly or may function more slowly if you choose to reject Cookies. By using our Site and not disabling Cookies, you consent to allowing their use for the described purposes.

We may use third party advertising companies to serve advertisements on other sites you may visit. To accomplish this, these companies may employ anonymous Cookies and web beacons (also known as Internet tags, pixel tags and clear GIFs) that allow this Site to collect web log information. A web beacon is a graphic on a web page or in an e-mail message designed to track pages viewed or messages opened. Web log information is gathered when you visit our Site. The web server automatically recognizes some non-Personal Information, such as the date and time you visited our Site, the pages you visited, the website you came from, the type of browser you are using, the type of operating system you are using and the domain name and address of your ISP. We may also include web beacons in promotional e-mail messages in order to determine whether messages have been opened.  If you do not wish to receive such beacons, you can unsubscribe by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in every e-mail we send you or by contacting us at contact@sladvisory.net.

SL Advisory may also work with a third party vendor to analyze users’ browsing patterns on our Site, who may place Cookies on your computer to receive information about your browsing activity on the Site, and help us to provide you with a more personalized experience.

In addition to cookie data, we may also process other technical information about you, including but not limited to: (1) your IP address, browser type and version, device identifier, location and time zone setting, network and/or service provider, operating system and platform, page response times and download errors; (2) details about your visit, including the websites you visit before and after our Site and the products and services you viewed or searched for; and (3) length of visits to certain pages, interaction with elements on the Site and methods used to browse away from the page.

Securing Your Information

SL Advisory understands the utmost importance of protecting the Personal Information that you share with us. As such, we practice a combination of technical, physical and administrative security controls that are designed to safeguard your information against unauthorized use. Your Personal Information will only be used for business purposes and will only be accessible by a limited number of SL Advisory employees and third-party vendors servicing our computer and web services.

At the same time, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information to the best of our ability, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of information you transmit to our Site and over the Internet.

Your data will be processed in countries outside the European Union (“EU”) or the European Economic Area (“EEA”), which may have a lower data protection level than European countries. In such cases, we will ensure that a sufficient level of protection is provided for your data.

Rights Individuals Have or May Have In Relation to Data Processing

Depending on where you are located, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data pursuant to applicable law. The following rights are generally available to individuals residing in the European Union according to applicable data privacy laws:

• Right of information about your Personal Information stored by us;
• Right to request the correction, deletion or restricted processing of your Personal Information;
• Right to object to a processing for reasons of our own legitimate interest, public interest or profiling, unless we are able to prove that compelling, warranted reasons superseding your interests, rights and freedom exist, or that such processing is done for purposes of the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims;
• Right to data portability; and
• Right to file a complaint with a data protection authority.

If you wish to exercise your rights, please address your request to SL Advisory’s address indicated below.

Where you have the right under applicable law, such as in the EEA, you may complain to a data protection authority if you think we have processed your Personal Information in a manner which is unlawful or breaches your rights.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy shall give any individual any right or rights which that individual does not have under the General Data Protection Regulation and/or any other applicable data protection law.
