You may provide your Personal Information to us when you use our Services, including when you create an account through the INARIA Sites (a “INARIA Account”), use the INARIA Sites, contact us with inquiries, or otherwise access our Services. This information may include:
When you use our Services, complete electronic forms, communicate with us or contact us by online chat, email or phone, we may automatically collect and store certain information about you and the activity you engaged in, for example: your name and contact information; your purchase details; information that you voluntarily provide to us; the nature of your communication; the purpose of the interaction, and the action we took in response to your inquiry or request.

We use Cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies to collect information and personalize your experience with our Services.
How We Use Cookies – We use first-party and third-party Cookies for the following purposes:
How to Manage Cookies – You may disable the use of Cookies by modifying your browser settings. If you choose to disable Cookies you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of our Services.
We and our affiliates may use automated technologies (including Cookie identifiers on the INARIA Sites and/or the Services), along with other collected information, to tailor ads or deliver content when you are on our Services or on other devices, apps or websites.
We (or our service providers) may use the information we collect, for example, IP addresses and unique mobile device identifiers, to locate or try to locate the same unique users across multiple browsers or devices (such as smartphones, tablets, or computers), or work with providers that do this, in order to better tailor content and features and provide you with a seamless experience across devices. If you wish to opt out of cross device tracking for purposes of interest-based advertising, you may do so through your device settings. We may also use cross-device targeting to help identify our users and serve advertising. This type of advertising is often called “interest-based” or “personalized” advertising—and when it occurs on mobile apps, “cross-app” advertising.
You can learn more about interest-based advertising and how to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising by visiting (i) the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link or (ii) the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link.
To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page.
To opt out of Twitter’s interest-based ads, you can follow their instructions posted here.
To opt out of Facebook’s interest-based ads, you can follow their instructions posted here.
Please note that even if you opt-out, you may still receive advertisements from us. However, the advertising will not be tailored to your interests. Also, we do not control any of the above opt-out links or whether any particular company chooses to participate in these opt-out programs.
Depending on your permissions, we may receive your Personal Information from your Internet service and mobile device providers. Users of mobile device who do not want to receive interest-based advertising may opt-out in several ways. You can learn more about your choices for mobile devices by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/appchoices. Each operating system, (iOS for Apple phones, Android for Android devices, and Windows for Microsoft devices) provides its own instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-application advertisements. You should view your device or system “Settings” to determine how you can opt out of use of your device ID for “cross-app” personalized advertising.
We may use the information we collect or receive about you for various purposes.

We have implemented organizational, technological, and physical security controls that are designed to safeguard Personal Information. However, no online activity is ever fully secure or error-free.

In order to be able to act, authorized agents have to submit proof that they are authorized to act on your behalf, or have a power of attorney. We may deny requests from authorized agents who do not submit proof that they have been authorized by you to act on their behalf.
