2. Use of Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, session replay/screen capture, and similar technologies to collect information and personalize your experience with our Services. When we use session replay technology, we may collect on a real-time basis information on how you use and navigate the Services. This may include mouse movements and how you scroll through the Services, but we do not collect keystroke data. Additional information on other technologies we may use is set forth below.

a. Cookies

Cookies are small web files that a site or its provider transfers to your device’s hard drive through your web browser that enables the site’s or provider’s system to recognize your browser and remember certain information.

How We Use Cookies – We use first-party cookies for the following purposes:

• to make our Services function properly;
• to improve our Services;
• to recognize you when you return to Gill Corp. and to remember information you have already provided, such as items already in your order cart;
• to collect information about your activities over time or other online services in order to deliver content and advertising tailored to your interests; and to provide a secure browsing experience during your use of our Services.

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. For more information on cookies and how to disable cookies visit www.ftc.gov/ftc/cookies.shtm or https://www.usa.gov/optout_instructions.shtml.

b. Web Beacons

Web beacons, also known as web bugs, pixel tags or clear GIFs, are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our Site to deliver or communicate with cookies, in order to track and measure the performance of our Site and Services, monitor how many web visitors we have, and to monitor the effectiveness of our advertising. Unlike cookies, which are stored on the user’s hard drive, web beacons are typically embedded invisibly on webpages (or in an email).

c. Online Analytics and Advertising Technologies

We and our third-party vendors may use automated technologies (including cookie identifiers on our Site), along with other collected information, to tailor ads or deliver content when you are on our Services or on other devices, apps or websites.

d. Interest-Based Advertising

We (or our service providers) may use the information we collect, for instance, 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.

Please note that even if you opt-out, you may still receive advertisements from us. However, in that case, 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.

3. Use of Your Personal Information

We may use the information we collect or receive about you for various purposes.

a. To Provide You With the Services

We use your information to provide you the Services. For example, we use credit card information to complete a transaction or an address to allow Gill Corp to fulfill your delivery. If the applicable information is to be provided or Service is to be performed by a third party, then we will disclose the applicable Personal Information to the third party providing the information or performing applicable Services. Your information may be available or provided to third-party service providers that are contractually obligated to protect your information as disclosed in this Policy.

In the event you contact us, we use certain information to respond to your questions and assist you with any issues that may arise in your use of the Services.

d. For Account and Network Security Purposes

We care about keeping you secure and safe while using our Services. Keeping you safe requires us to process your Personal Information, such as your device information, activity information and other relevant information.

1. Exercising your California Privacy Rights.

To exercise your California Privacy Rights please email us at info@thegillcorp.com with “CPRA Request” in the subject line or call us at (626) 443-6094.

• Rights to Know. to Data Portability, to Correction and to Deletion. You may exercise your Rights to Know and to Data Portability up to twice in a 12 month period. You may exercise all other rights at any time. We will ask you for information that allows us to reasonably verify your identity (that you are the person about whom we collected personal information) and will use that information only for that purpose. We may request that you submit a signed statement under penalty of perjury that you are the individual you claim to be. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. However, you may request that we disclose the required information beyond the 12-month period, and we will honor that expanded request unless doing so would  involve a disproportionate effort. Your right to request required information beyond the 12-month period, and our obligation to provide that information, shall only apply to personal information collected on or after January 1, 2022.  We will acknowledge receipt of your request within 10 business days and will respond withing 45 days.  If we need an additional 45 days to respond we will notify you. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity and confirm that the personal information relates to you
• Opt-Out Rights. To opt out of the sale of your personal information or the sharing of your personal information or to ask us to limit processing of your Sensitive Personal Information, you  may submit a request to us.   We will act promptly to comply with your request and at least within 15 business days from receipt of your request.
• You may also opt out by activating a user-enabled global privacy control, such as a browser plug-in or privacy setting, device setting, or other mechanism, that communicates or signals your choice to opt-out of the sale and sharing of personal information. When we receive such a signal we will stop setting third party, analytics, or advertising partner cookies on your browser. This will prevent the sale or sharing of information relating to that specific device through cookies to our advertising or analytics partners. This option does not stop all sales or sharing of your information because we cannot match your device’s identification or internet protocol address with your personally identifiable information like your name, phone number, email address or ZIP Code.  If you delete cookies on your browser, any prior do not sell or do not share signal is also deleted and you should make sure that your user-enabled setting is always activated.
