This website (including related domains and mobile sites, the “Site”) and the features, services, and products provided here are owned and operated by Monster Monitors, LLC. (“we” or “us”). This privacy policy (“Policy”) sets forth our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information that you provide to us or that we collect about you while you are using the Site or related services. We will not use or share your information except as provided by this Privacy Policy.

1. PERSONAL DATA THAT YOU PROVIDE THROUGH THE SITE

We collect personally identifiable data about you (“Personal Data”) from you when you voluntarily provide such information, such as when you contact us with inquiries, respond to one of our surveys, enter one of our promotions, purchase products or register for access to certain services available through the Site. We also may collect Personal Data that you provide to us by granting us administrative access to your social media accounts, including Facebook, and via Google Analytics. By providing us with Personal Data, you are consenting to our use of it in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

2. NON-PERSONAL DATA AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED

When you interact with the Site, we receive and store certain information about your usage of the Site. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, is not intended to be used to specifically identify you. Examples of information collected as you browse the Site include but are not limited to your: computer or mobile device operating system; browser type and language; IP address and/or MAC address; internet service provider; and referrer URL (the last website visited which linked or led to our Site). We may store such information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by our affiliates, agents or service providers. The Site may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to our Site, the number of visitors to each page of our Site, and the domain names of our visitors’ Internet service providers. It is important to note that no Personal Data is available or used in this process.

3. COOKIE USAGE

In operating the Site, we may use a technology called “cookies.” A cookie is a piece of information that the computer that hosts our Site gives to your browser when you access the Site. Our cookies help provide additional functionality to the Site and help us analyze Site usage more accurately. For instance, our Site may set a cookie on your browser that allows you to access the Site without needing to remember and then enter a password more than once during a visit to the Site. We may contract with third-party service providers to provide functions related to the Site, and such service providers are authorized to place cookies on your device, or collect information from your or your device on our behalf, to enable such functions, including with respect to displaying targeted ads on the Site. In all cases in which we or our service providers use cookies, we will not collect Personal Data except with your permission.

4. DISABLING COOKIE AND DO NOT TRACK NOTICE

You can often choose to have your computer, operating system, mobile device, or browser warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to disable all cookies via your browser settings. On most web browsers, you will find a “help” section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they allow you to take advantage of some of the Site’s features. 

Your browser may also provide you with the option to send a “Do Not Track” signal to websites you visit. This signal is used to request that websites not send the requesting device cookies, but websites have no obligation to respond to such signal or to modify their operation. At the current time, the Site will not treat you differently if we receive Do Not Track signals from your browser and we may not comply with Do Not Track settings on your browser. 

In addition, we (or our authorized third-party service providers) may use local shared objects, also known as flash cookies, to display content based upon what you view on the Site and to personalize your visit. Flash cookies are different from browser cookies with respect to the amount and type of data and how that data is stored. Cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove flash cookies.
