Privacy Policy

The Bay Windows Privacy Policy may be found below. Your use of any Bay Windows product or service constitutes your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy. You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with all of these terms.

Bay Windows has created this privacy policy because we value our readers and recognize their right to keep personal information private. This statement discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for Bay Windows websites and mobile applications (the "Network"). We believe very strongly that private information should remain private.

Information Collection Methodologies

Cookies

When accessed over the World Wide Web, the Bay Windows Network uses cookies to gather broad demographic information, to deliver content suited to your interests, and to auto-fill forms so that you don't have to manually re-enter that information each time you visit. A cookie is a small line of data stored on your device. Some cookies are stored only for the duration of a single browser session; others persist across sessions. Information you provide to us voluntarily is not stored in the cookie; that information is kept secure in our database. Cookies that we ourselves assign are anonymous, random strings and do not identify you to us unless you choose to provide that information. Separately, our third-party advertising partners set their own cookies, which are described in the "Third-party Information Collection" section below and are governed by those partners' own privacy policies.

Tracking Technologies

Bay Windows uses analytics technologies to understand activity on our Network via cookies and similar identifiers. We control the use of this first-party activity data; while we use this anonymous information to better understand our readers and how they use our site, we do not sell the first-party analytics information we collect, and we make it available to advertisers only in aggregated form. This is separate from the data collected directly by our third-party advertising partners, described below, which we do not control.

Third-party Information Collection

Organizations that place advertising on our Network may use cookies and similar technologies to deliver advertising that is relevant to you. In particular, Bay Windows uses third-party advertising services, including Google AdSense and Media.net, to display ads on this website.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
• These advertising partners may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit, and may use it to serve ads they believe are relevant to you.

Bay Windows does not control the cookies set by these advertising partners, and the data they collect is governed by their own privacy policies. You can review Google's practices at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and Media.net's at media.net/privacy-policy.

Your choices. You may opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting your Google Ad Settings at adssettings.google.com. You can opt out of personalized advertising from many other third-party vendors at aboutads.info/choices (United States) or youronlinechoices.eu (EU/UK). You can also set your browser to refuse cookies, though some features of the site may not function as a result.

Visitors in the EU, UK, and California. If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we and our advertising partners rely on your consent to use non-essential cookies, and you may withdraw that consent at any time. If you are a California resident, you have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information as defined under California law. To exercise these rights, contact us using the information in the "Contacting Us" section below.

Information Collected

Letters and Feedback

Our letters and feedback features let you send questions and comments to Bay Windows staff and writers through online forms and/or email. These forms are optional. Any personal or demographic information you submit through them may be reproduced online as part of a published response.

Reader Feedback

Bay Windows stores feedback you send us through digital forms. We use this feedback to administer and improve the Network and associated services, and at times it may be shared with Bay Windows partners, either in aggregate form or with specific identifying characteristics (such as email address or name) removed.

Sharing Content with Other Readers

If you use a feature to share our content with someone else, we will ask for the information needed to do so, such as the recipient's email address. We use this information to send the requested message and to measure the success of such features. The recipient may contact us at [email protected] to request removal of this information from our database.

Communications from Bay Windows

Newsletters and Updates

Bay Windows may occasionally send you news, updates, or promotions by email. All email communications from Bay Windows are "opt in," meaning you must request them through our Network. Every email we send includes instructions for opting out of future communications.

Additional Disclosures

Notwithstanding anything else in this policy, Bay Windows may disclose personal and aggregate information when required by a valid legal mechanism such as a search warrant, subpoena, or court order, or when we deem it necessary, in our sole discretion, to protect our rights or the safety of others, our users, employees, or property.

Bay Windows reserves the right to share some or all of your personal information with its parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control with Bay Windows, in which case Bay Windows will require those entities to honor this privacy policy. If Bay Windows is acquired by another company, that company will obtain the information collected by Bay Windows and will assume the rights and obligations set forth in this privacy policy regarding that information.

Off-site Links

Bay Windows provides links to other sites. Bay Windows is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those other sites.

Contacting Us

If you have any questions about this privacy statement, the practices of this site, or your dealings with this site, you can contact us by email at [email protected].

Changes to This Policy

From time to time we may revise this privacy notice. If we make a material change, we will post an update on the Bay Windows Network or notify you by email, at which point you will be able to opt out of the new practices by contacting us using the information above.
